Not Rust Proof, Leaks, Bad Design
I originally like the idea of stainless steel lunch box thinking that it maybe a better option than the plastic ones, but after 3 weeks of use I've notice too many flaws to make me reconsider my opinion of this lunch box.
First issue I have is that this box is made of 201 and NOT 18/8 stainless steel. 201 are not as rust proof as 18/8 and will rust over time, yikes! After 3 weeks of use, I can already see a little rust spots near the hinges of the lunch box.
Second issue I have is that you can't keep anything mist in here. It will leak even if the latch doesn't pop open accidentally (which happens way too often). They did address this issue in the description so this is not a complete surprise.
Third issue (this is a major one) is that when you apply any pressure at the corners of the box, the latch flies out! Forget putting this in a book bag or with anything else besides a dedicated lunch bag. The box collapse into itself with any pressure at the corner which results in the lid falling apart and all the content inside gets dumped out! Major design flaw!
I cannot recommend this lunch box with its current design.
