Anybody know some really great sized containers for this lunch box? I see some reviewer saying it's too small for the containers they want to use.

I bought the Cool Gear Collapsible Salad Storage Kit. Look it up on Amazon - you might be able to find the measurements so you can then shop for containers that size. My husband put the salad container on the top portion of the Picnic Time Pranzo. He can still fit more snacks up there and a few drinks on the bottom. He always puts in a frozen water bottle to chill his drinks. I think it fits plenty. Anyone saying it doesn't is simply putting in containers that are too big. The salad kit container is a decent enough size.

I have been able to fit all of the zip-loc containers without any problem also an ice pack. Hope that helps

Both of these containers will fit easily, with room left over: Preserve Square 25-Ounce Food-Storage Container, Set of 2, Apple Green

These are the ice packs I bought that work perfect "Fit & Fresh Cool Coolers Slim Lunch Ice" and as far as containers I bought "Easylunchboxes 3-Compartment Bento Lunch Box Containers" and they work great! (Ice packs and containers were both bought from amazon) Hope this helps!

The Rubbermaid Blox containers (with ice packs) fit perfectly in the bottom half. I use it to bring a sandwich and salad combo, and use the smaller Blox containers for snacks. The top half holds two 16 oz. thermal drink containers with room for breakfast (banana and another carb) plus a few chocolates for dessert. It's heavy when full, but allows me to micro meal though out a 10-hour work day. Every time I use it, I smile upon saving $15 by not eating out.

Yup the largest compartment will easily hold a standard size sandwich. This blog has some pics to show what fits - http://rachelsrandom.com/2012/08/work-lunch-upgrade-hubbys-lunch-makeover/ (That's not an identical box but it's really close, size-wise.)

I use a regular size lunch bag, like one from Target - Barbie for kids. If you are looking for the big size - you can buy dual compartment lunch kit bag Embark Pink Leopard Print Dual Compartment Lunch Kit With Food Container or just decent size Chevron Lunch Bag Black White Hot Pink Fuchsia Insulated bag

It does NOT fit in our L.L.Bean flat lunch box. It's too large with the ice pack, might fit without the icepack, but you'll probably end up with a broken lunch box sooner than later. Disappointed.

I actually have quite a large insulated lunch bag that is the size of a medium size pocketbook. I may be a little difficult to transport in one of the smaller insulated bags, but one you get it you can fit one that fits. It is worth it. Once I am work I stuff it in a refrigerator, but the insert if you chill it first should keep it fairly cool.

Even though it is pricey for a lunch bag - I love using this for myself and daughters lunches. We have the Rubbermaid lunchblox (containers with snap in icepacks) and they fit perfectly on the bottom (we store our entree/sandwich along with fruit and veggies). The top compartment fits the extra snacks. It is basically good if you have hot food and cold food and need to keep them separated. We use it also for School lunch on bottom and after school snacks on top.

The largest container's lid closes tightly on our set, as secure as the smaller containers. I just got off my lazy butt and double-checked. So I'd say you have a legitimate complaint. BTW, we love our set. We love how it stacks together so slimly, and would heartily recommend it to others - as long as the lid to the largest container fit as well as our does.

My children have lunch boxes with water bottle holders that are on the outside of there lunch box.You will have room for a juice box or pouch on top of the lunch box since it is less than 2 inches tall, but as far as an average size water bottle it wouldn't fit because this box will take up the majority of the space.My kids prefer the water bottle on the outside of there lunch box, for easy access during the day. I suggest Pottery Barn Classic lunch box, it fits almost too perfectly.

It's pretty big. Large enough for a 7x9 casserole dish on the bottom. Way too large for a lunch box unless you're packing lunch for 5 people. I used it for a potluck dish once. It would be great for transporting frozen foods from the store in the summer. It's big enough.

Julie - I use one level of the bento box for my kids lunches. I do not have trouble getting one layer into their lunch bags, which are larger. My daughter has a BYO neoprene bag from Target and my son has a roll top embark brand bag from Target. They have come in very handy, as my kids are not big fans of sandwiches and prefer Lunchable type items, fruit and veggies, etc. in their lunches. Hope that helps! Candy

I have a thermos by Stanley that fits the lunch pale perfectly but I'm not sure as the size of my thermos. Stanley has a web site to which that answer may be found.

I bought it as a lunch box but in my opinion it is way too large for a lunch box. Unless you eat an amazingly large amount of food for lunch. We find that it is perfect for day trips.

Sharon, thank you for your question. These lunchable Crocks were very tough to find. I do not know of where other inside containers can be found. You may attempt to find them at Bed Bath and Beyond type retailers near you. Have a great day!

I'm not sure what type of lunchbox that is, but I have never been able to fit them inside their lunch boxes. They are about 9-10 inches tall. I use the smaller ones for the lunch box and the large ones go in the side pocket of the backpack to be used as their water bottle for the entire school day.

Hi Heather, I purchased an additional set: Laptop Lunches Bento Buddies. That set had a container large enough for a sandwich. The original Laptop Lunch set has four containers more appropriate for finger foods. Hope this helps!

From looking at the pictures of Easy Lunch Boxes online I don't think these will fit inside the lunch bag. It might fit but it will definitely fit tight not leaving any room for other things such as a juice box, water bottle, snacks, etc... If your looking to fit the easy lunch boxes, I would recommend purchasing a lunch tote instead.

Not sure if an entire lunchbox will fit, at least two maybe even three Rubbermaid containers all at once will fit inside.
