"LOVE this bento"

Well, I have had this Nissan bento for over 5 years now. And as an adult, I have to say that I have no problems with it keeping food hot. I find that it is VERY COMPARABLE, even BETTER than the Zojirushi Mr. Bento. I like my food HOT, and being entirely stainless steel, it keeps all 4 containers hotter than the Mr. Bento. The top 2 containers in Mr. Bento tend to be cool (room temperature) after 4 hours or more, while in the Nissan, they are usually more than warm (but not steaming).

To make sure I am comparing correctly, I preheat the 4 containers with hot water before I pack, just like Mr. Bento.

Also, the construction of this bento is much more sturdier than Mr. Bento, which has a lot of plastic. Like the other reviewer, yes it will dent if it gets banged around. As an adult, I don't have any problem with it.

Also the Mr. Bento I got from Amazon in Xmas 2006, was made in Thailand, not Japan. Apparently it is too expensive to get it from Japan now or something like that.

My girl friend's Mr. Bento was made in Japan, and it was much sturdier, and kept food hotter. I think the new Mr. Bentos have a plastic lid, which allows heat to escape.

Anyway, I just sold the Mr. Bento on ebay, and kept the lunch bag, which fits the Nissan Thermos really well.

I love this Nissan Thermos lunch tote. It really is worth the money. 5 stars

"not worth the money"

may be okay if you take it to a climate controlled office, but not much good as an outdoors job food jar. 2 stars

"Very nice bento!"

I have been using this bento for a few months now and I have been very impressed with it so far. Keeps food cold until it can be reheated, and the containers are just the right size for someone looking to maintain some degree of portion control. Quality of construction is good and it gets some interesting looks in the office!

Highly recommended! 4 stars

"PERFECT"

IT HAS ALL YOU NEED TO BRING A COMPLETE LUNCH TO WORK. It is also durable, and insulated. The quality is superior to anything brand X that you would buy on impulse at a store. Good price. 5 stars

"Ideal Product! "

The Nissan Sport Tote Bottle JLN1400X is great! It keeps my lunch hot for hours (12+). It's easy to clean, and isn't obnoxious in size or style -- no flowers or fabric. Joe Muscle had the best price -- even though shipping was $9. I figure that the money I save on buying lunch at work will pay for both of them within a couple of weeks.Nissan Tote Sport Bottle 48-oz.
For those who feel like making your lunch takes too much time -- don't forget to factor in the time it takes to stand in line at your local lunch cafe. I don't know how long this lunch thermos has been around but I expect that it will become pretty popular.
