I am! We love them in our house but I accidentally ran over one in the van so it doesn't work so well anymore.

I might be! Are these pretty air tight? I have never used one, but I found out where we are moving doesn't offer hot lunch at school so I am going to become a lunch packer soon Smile I would love to hear more from people who have used them what you like about them Smile

Both the girls have them, I am no longer a lunch packer. The school here pretty decently feeds them breakfast and lunch. They get great food at home so it evens out.

But on occasion when I use them, they are fantastic!

Here are some reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Laptop-Lunch-Bento-Set-2-0/dp/B002Q0X54K/ref=pd_sbs_k_5

We like ours. They are pretty air tight for what we use them for. I would not use them for anything watery. The lids are a little hard to seal tightly for little kids. We try as much as possible to leave the lids off and just use finger foods for my younger kids. It can be kind of difficult for little fingers to open the box part too. You have to push in and up. Still like them and my older kids love theirs. I like them enough to want to buy several more sets.

We have plenty here, but I just wanted to vouch that they are great! They fit a good amount of food in them and it's fun to get creative to fill the little boxes. I agree on not putting anything liquid in them unless you use the lidded compartment, but it's kind of hard to open. We had a bad jello incident one day and learned our lesson, LOL.

There is a learning curve to opening them, but my 4 and 7 year old have mastered it. I also recommend the zippered case. It fits the box and a drink perfectly and it's nice and flat in a backpack.

They are also a great local company here that always donates to school fundraisers in the community.

OK, my review is over, off my soapbox now. LOL

Do they hold lots?
I pack a lunch and 2 snacks (not just snack items but full on snacks).
I'd be interested if they hold LOTS.

they only hold a lunch. I use them for my dd and bought a lunch bag from somewhere else to put it in that has another pouch where I put her snacks. I think they hold a perfect amount for lunch but certainly not a days worth of food. They fit perfectly in the $10 thermos brand lunch bags you can get at Walmart.
