Which of the 3 sizes is best for a small work lunch? Sandwich and snacks in ziploc bags, or maybe sometimes frozen entrees or tupperware containers.

I purchased the middle size and it's perfect. Holds enough to feed my hungry man. I also purchased the small 4 pk squares blue ice pks They work great! I was putting ice cubes in a zip lock bag but as ice melted the bags would leak. The ice pks don't leak, and he just puts them back in freezer over night.

Sandwiches would fit great in the smallest one, but some frozen entrees won't fit.

We have a similar type lunch box for my hubby, and I have a fit n fresh lunch bag. The soft sided ones seem to work best.

I would recommend the larger. I take a salad, fruit, container of dressing and vegetables for lunch. I have to put containers side ways. I would spend the extra money and get the large one. I hope this helps.

I agree with Terry that Ms Bento Lunch can't hold a lot of food if you are buying for an adult lunch box. I got the Ms version for my son to bring warm lunch to daycare. It can hold one bowl of rice at the bottom and some veges on the top.

I'm not really sure but my husband works for the Dept of Transportation and has to take his lunch and snacks every day. He puts a sandwich, bag of chips, pudding cup, and 2 Lil Debbie Cakes and two packs of crackers with a ice pack and everything fits fine. In the side pocket he puts a thermos of water. It is a great buy!

We have the soft lunch bags. If you are wondering how the containers fit, we have challenges getting all three containers and a juice box to fit without the lunch bag and zipper stretching a bit. Luckily, I brought the Rubbermaid container set that has the small container so we frequently use a small container with the medium and the large. As for how these containers would work with a metal lunch box, I think you would frequently find yourself just using two containers.

Mil thickness is only one part of the storage protection equation. A more significant part is the blend of the plastic and the way the bag is constructed. You can find cheap, thick bags out there. The cheaper bags lack the construction of Ziploc leaving more opportunity to let in air and moisture. As for Ziploc the mil thickness of Freezer is about 30% greater than storage which is about 30% greater than Sandwich.

I put it in a lunch bag. I usually pack to two smaller ones in my childs lunch and the larger one just for me.

It's very small. I use it for bags of breast milk and it also its a kid sized Tupperware. Don't expect to get your lunch in it at all.

I keep salt, pepper, and another bottle of seasoning in one zippered pocket. The other I have 3-4 snack size snacks. There's also 2 mesh pockets where I keep my travel coffee cup and a 16oz thermos water bottle. Best lunch bag ever.

I don't think this bag would be big enough for 2 lunches - unless it was a light lunch or just snacks. I guess it depends on what you'd want to pack. I believe they make a larger size that would work better. (I also agree with the suggestion to get the one with the zipper. That's what we have.)

I would recommend the medium because frozen vegetables can be bulky and they are easier to fit into the medium one without having to take a sledge hammer to them.

well insulated compared to other lunch bags. Cool things will say somewhat cool by lunch time. Freeze a yogurt and pack with lunch and all will stay cool and yogurt will be great to eat by lunch.

We fit a sandwich and some baggies of snacks in it. If you wanted to put containers of food in it I would get a bigger bag.

Use ziplock freezer bags to store - no freezing needed; cut n parts & place n separate bags to use as needed. It's wonderful!!! Enjoy!!!!

I take broccoli, celery, grapes, etc in my lunch almost every day and never use a fridge. If you use one or several ice packs you shouldn't have a problem. I recommend the "lunch box" brand of containers. They fit in here perfectly.

I would say at least one large bag and one small. I find it is much better suited for regular food. I have fit a large family size bag of chicken, a medium pork roast, 2 gallons of ice cream, 5 or 6 frozen veggies and fruit nicely and still had some room for small items like frozen cans of juice. I store my bags of ice in my upright which is deeper. This freezer is longer and is not as deep so I find that the narrower items fit better
