MAXSO Soup Thermo for Hot & Cold Food for Adults Kids, 17 oz Vacuum Insulated Steel Lunch Container Bento Box with Spoon, Leakproof Thermal Food Jar for School Office Travel - Grey

I am very pleased with my purchase!! I have to leave for work at 5:30 am. I am a pediatric home health nurse and I go to school with my client. We have lunch at noon and my soup was still piping hot at lunchtime. Also, I had the thermos lying down in my lunch bag and absolutely no leaks!!

This little soup thermo worked like a charm! I took soup for a picnic lunch in the mountains and the food stayed hot for hours until we stopped for lunch. The foldable spoon in the cap was great too. The mouth of the cannister was wide enough to eat straight from and was easy to fill with the soup at home. Loved this little thermo. I will be using it often for outdoor activities when hot soup will taste good on a cold day.

Keeps soup really hot for hours! It’s sturdy and doesn’t leak. It’s been great for taking lunch to work . My coworker has had one for several years and introduced it to me. It’s also a good size! And it comes with its own spoon!

I'm extremely impressed with this thing. To give it a soup-like test, I put boiling water in the thermos and temp'd it at 203.7 degrees F in a 69 degree F indoor environment. I didn't preheat it. It should have been the ambient 69 degree temperature of the room before I put the boiling water in.One hour later, it was at 195.8. After two hours, it was at 188.6. After TEN HOURS, it was at 150.1 degrees. EXTREMELY hot still. It's wild to me that 10 hours in this food jar (5 of which were in 65 degree room temp while I was sleeping) and it still would have INSTANTLY burned my mouth if it were soup.After 20 hours it was at 123.8 degrees. Finally, 24 hours later the water was at 113.6 degrees. It was very warm to the touch (would have been more than adequate of a temperature to eat soup at.I mean, that's just incredible retention. I haven't tried this test with my Stanley classic food jar, which is also amazing and which I will continue to use, but I would be shocked if it did as well as this random MAXSO brand. It's beyond easy to recommend. I can't speak to durability yet (another area where the Stanley is practically unbeatable) but it feels pretty solidly built. I'm really happy with it.

I fill the thermoses with hot tap water for 10-minutes, empty out, then pour in a microwaved hot food.My kids love how perfectly hot it is at school hours later (approx. 6.5 hours after I pack it).The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 Stars is because my kids complained that the oven-baked crunchy breading on chicken planks is mushy by lunchtime (I guess from the steam so many hours in thermos); Also, chicken fingers and coconut shrimp do not stay hot like the soups do. So far, the thermos is great for soups, chowders, and spaghetti. It may work for salads too, but I'm yet to try cold foods.I definitely recommend this thermos for liquid (not so much solid) foods.

Bought two for my granddaughters school lunches after buying some that did NOT keep food warm which is in safe. These are GREAT. Stainless steel is quality, keeps food warm for hours. (I pour boiling hot water in first, for a few minutes, to heat up steel, pour it out and add food, a tip I learned years ago.) Plastic screw on lid has a steam vent button, which is great, and the lid which doubles as a bowl is thick and solid, not thin plastic. The folding spoon is handy and the girls thought it was neat, but one went missing pretty quick , which I figured would happen. Great but on a quality thermos. Holding up nicely after many uses!!

Perfect portion size. I bought this for my child who’s in a private schooling program that doesn’t serve hot lunches so wanted to give him that option. He needs help opening the thermos, but he’s a toddler so makes sense. He goes to school for 4 hrs and the chicken noodle soup I heated on the stove top at 8:30 am was still enjoyable warm (not just luke warm) at 2:30 pm after getting home. Happy with the purchase and its quality/ability. Easy to clean. The opening is big enough to maneuver a fork or spoon inside to eat instead of having to pour out in the lid/cup to eat easier. I considered Stanley thermos as well and this little bit cheaper option did not disappoint!

Amazing… a must buy.. I warmed my food up at 5am and at 3pm it was still pipping hot.. easy to clean..
