DESCRIPTION

The Mighty Hippo offers a good variety of products. The containers come in different shapes and sizes: from a round 630 ml lunch container to a 100 ml rectangular mini container.

I purchased the Mighty Hippo Rectangle Stainless Steel Bento Lunch Container, with a removable divider for my son’s lunches. I wanted to avoid using plastic and glass. I liked the idea of a divider, so I could pack a few things in one container.

I also purchased the mini containers for ‘mini snacks’. They work well for school snacks – fit a few strawberries or cucumber and peppers. Perfect little snacks. I tried both the round and rectangular ones. The round containers hold just a bit more food.

DOES IT WORK?

PROS

Durable – it lasted a few months of daily use and dishwashing
Dishwasher safe – I used the top shelf of the dishwasher for both the containers and the lids – no issues
Lightweight – yes, fantastically light!
Leak-proof – I tried yogurt – no leaks. I tried dipping sauce – no leaks
Made with ‘only the highest grade 18-8 stainless steel, polypropylene, and silicone which have been independently lab tested and certified to be free of BPA, lead and phthalates’
Fantastic for kids – non-breakable
CONS

The lids finally gave up after a few months of use. The locks on the mini containers broke off and the lid on the bento box lid cracked (likely from the trauma it was taking in my kid’s backpack)
Had to remove the orange silicone on the lids and wash it by hand, as it was storing some ‘goo’ from being washed in the dishwasher
The divider from the bento box comes out too easily and has been lost somewhere between home and school;)

Love the Mighty Hippo products but they are not without fault. Having said that, I would purchase these again and will definitely continue using them.
