Customer Reviews of Fit & Fresh Lunch on the Go (Colors May Vary)
Customer Review: Wonderful Lunch Option
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought three of these at Target and love them. I bought one for myself and two for my daughters for daycare. We just finished a long road trip from PA to IN and they worked great. I packed a sandwich in the bottom portion for myself and some rolled up turkey for my daughters. I put some chips and goldfish in one small compartment and oreo's in the other. These boxes fit very well into our L.L. bean Lunchboxes. We traveled for about 5.5 or 6 hours before stopping for lunch. Everything was fresh and still cold!
I only handwash these items. I rarely use my dishwasher. I find it easier just to give it a quick wash and put it in the dish strainer. I plan on getting the cereal one.
I think this would be plenty big enough for a salad. How big do you need it? Put the dressing in one of the small containers and add some protein in the other, such as chicken or something.
TIP:
I freeze my ice packs horizontally. If you do them vertically they may bulge out making it harder to close, but i have had no problems.
Customer Review: Good but a small design flaw
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought two of these containers for my kids to take lunches to school. The size is perfect for my middle school and high school age children. The one design flaw is that once the freezer pack is frozen it has expanded just enough to make it impossible for the lid on the larger container to fit tightly once the smaller containers are in place. I wonder if this is not the real problem of the people who have commented about warped lids not fitting.
I packed my daughter's lunch this morning, the first day of school, and could not fit the lid on with everything in it. So I tested a couple of things out and found that the lid fit tightly without the small containers in it but with the freezer pack. The lid also fit tightly with the small containers and an unfrozen freezer pack.
My solution will be to either use a rubber band to keep the top on or make a small strap with velcro to wrap around the container to keep the top on. I find this very disappointing in a product that I would otherwise like very much.
Customer Review: Disappointing quality; tops rendered useless after a single washing
Summary: 1 Stars
I've now bought and used practically every Fit & Fresh food storage item, including this one, and can back the claims about the tops becoming warped and unusable after a single run through the dishwasher (top rack). This line held such great promise, but really fell down where it counted. The only Fit 'n Fresh product I've not experienced this problem with is the Healthy Food Snacker, and that's because that lid screws on. I've resigned myself to going back to Lock n' Lock containers, which don't feature the built-in coolers but which at least feature flawless sealing and locking capabilities, no matter how many times you run them through the dishwasher, on ANY rack. I'll go back to throwing them in a Built NY neoprene bag, with standalone cooling insert. I wish I could find a manufacturer who could get this one right.Customer Review: Innovative Design Poor Execution
Summary: 2 Stars
The design of the Fit&Fresh Lunch on the Go is excellent. It is very convenient to have everything all in one chilled container. However they could have executed it in a bit heavier plastic and maybe gave you a half inch more space between compartments. I can't even fit a sandwich in the bottom compartment without it pushing the ice pack up. It is very difficult to close with a sandwich and the two containers and ice pack in place. Even after hand washing the container it is already showing signs of warping. I am hesitant to actually run it throw the dishwasher even on the top shelf. Maybe if Fit & Fresh 2.0 comes out I would consider buying it but otherwise I would look elsewhere or by some of the disposable gladware containers, an icepack and an insulated lunch box. It would probably be cheaper and last longer.Customer Review: From a teacher
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, so I'm not a teacher yet, but I'm student teaching. My mother (a substitute teacher) recommended this box to me, and I love it. It makes it so much easier to take *just* the right amount of food for me for lunches, and it's a hit with the other teachers and American Sign Language interpreters in the class I'm doing my student teaching.
The only major disadvantage to this product is its claim of being top-rack dishwasher safe. I decided to wash it before using, and now the top of the box and the sidecars are a little warped. So I've learned my lesson and now wash them by hand.
Otherwise, this is a great product for being on-the-go. To add a little more personality, I wrap it in a furoshiki, or a Japanese bento box scarf, to make it easier to carry around.
