LunchBots Large Cinco review

The LunchBots Large Cinco is for families who want food to touch only stainless steel. LunchBots makes the container and the lid from 18/8 food-grade stainless steel, so no plastic contacts the food, and an optional snap-on plastic Dots cover adds color on the outside. The box has five compartments, two 4 x 3.5 in. sections and three 2.7 x 2.5 in. sections, holding 32 fl oz in an 8 x 6 x 1.75 in. container. At 17 oz it is the lightest hard box we compared, and it is dishwasher safe. The big limitation is liquids: LunchBots states plainly that the Cinco is not leak proof and recommends dry foods only, so yogurt, dips and cut fruit with juice need a separate container. At $39.99 it costs more than the leak-proof Bentgo and Yumbox boxes. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test it.
