Unique and fun snack/lunch bag
by Elisa (5 out of 5 stars)

My son chose this bag when we were browsing for his snack/lunch bag and he chose this one. We watched the video together and he loved that I could wash it. He couldn't wait for it to arrive. When it finally arrived, I was disappointed b/c the thread was coming off already and it was coming off. I told my son that we had to return it but he was so upset and did not want to use my pink lunch bag until a new one arrived. So I let him use it and used it twice when I received an email asking for a review. I wrote them about the problem and BOY! They were FAST! at responding and went above and beyond to sort out the problem. They refunded me right away and I was able to order a new one without having my son take my pink lunch bag. What a customer service! I wish all customer services were like them. Son loves his bag and I like the fact that I am stress free about where he is gonna put his bag and bring what kind of germs.... I can just let him toss it anywhere and I can wash it.

Another good feature is that he can open his bag anywhere and it is an instant table mat where he can put his food and eat them. He loves that idea too. My son is 8 year old. The only down side is that the regular one is a bit tight if you're like me who likes to pack variety of things. I packed an ice pack (the kind that you put on you to ice your bruise), yogurt, fruit, PBJs and water bottle. It fit. But was tight.

A feature I would recommend is a place to put his name tag on it. Otherwise, a great product.

Total Life-Changer
by Rae Lee (5 out of 5 stars)

We have 4 of Solvetta's awesome flatbox lunch totes- 3 Large and 1 snack pack. Thank you!!!! Solvetta for making a revolutionary lunch bag experience. What a life-changer.. These have been an absolute pleasure and a lifesaver to use everyday.. I was so disgusted and frustrated day after day when my kids would bring home dirty lunch boxes. There was never an effective way to get them really clean (and quick) and I was finding myself replacing them year after year, just throwing them in the landfill. I was even tempted to replace them every couple of months, but for that cost I did not do that.. I just felt like it because the conventional ones grossed me out.

Then, I discovered Solvetta one day in 2014 here on Amazon.com. I love these flatboxes!! I just launder and air dry when needed and they have held up pretty darn well. The first one I bought had a little stitching that came up pretty soon after we bought it and one of the zipper pulls came off. I contacted Solvetta and they offered the best customer service I think I've ever experienced. Quickly replaced it and I ended up buying a few more and have not had any problems with those ones at all. I think they have improved the construction.. it seems rock solid now because I've had all of them since 2014 and we're still going strong, using all of them.

I plan on using these until my kids graduate or as long as the bags will last.. hopefully forever. Packing lunches and cleaning them after school doesn't have a dirty, dreaded feeling anymore. There is a level of anxiety that is just gone, which is worth so much to me. My son spilled about 6-8 ounces of power-smoothie I made for him inside his Solvetta a couple weeks ago (which has happened more than once) and when I opened up his bag and saw the mess inside, I didn't feel stressed at all. All the other dishes were filthy, but I put everything in the dishwasher and rinsed off the inside of the Solvetta in the kitchen sink, put it in the washing machine and problem solved. It is just so easy to clean.. and I was pretty amazed and impressed that with all that smoothie sitting in there for hours, it didn't seep through the neoprene and get on his clothes, in the bottom of his locker where his bag was, in our car, or on the kitchen counter. I went back and checked everywhere it had been and there wasn't any leakage or mess. Also, with all the cacao and spirulina, it's incredible it doesn't stain either. Everything comes out in a cold water wash. So, thank you for having this brilliant idea in the first place and then making it a reality for all the rest of us. It has really taken a chunk of stress out of my day and my life.. it's strange to think of a lunch box/ bag causing that kind of stress for me, but I guess it's the little things that get repeated and add up in life.

I hope Solvetta continues to come up with different and larger sizes because these are strong and sturdy and I love how hygienic and easy to clean they are.

We love it

This is our second one and we love it. My middle schooler uses it for his lunches. It is great because you dont have to put your lunch on any surface but unzip your lunchbox and use it as a mat. My son lost his first one and we didnt have to think twice to order another one. It is large enough to fit anything you need including a water bottle. The only problem with the first one we had was handles getting holes where the stiches were and they were growing larger. But that didnt stop us from wanting another one :)))

Yes - you need to buy this lunch box.
by JamesMarie (5 out of 5 stars)

These lunch boxes are AWESOME!! My son has used one for the last few years. Before he used the smaller one - but it was almost too small for a growing teen so he has passed it down to his little brother and we purchased this large one for him. It is the perfect size for me to send plenty of food for his lunches. AND the fact that the smaller one has survived to be passed down is AMAZING!! They really are fantastic!

One of the reasons my older boy loves this lunch box is he can leave his food in it, unzip one flap, and his food is "protected". We were having issues with other boys in his class "sneezing" or "spitting" in his food. They really weren't, they were faking, but my son is a germaphobe and once they did that, he couldn't even force himself to finish eating (honestly, I probably wouldn't be able to either). but with this lunch box, his food is protected and he loves that - no more issues with him going hungry or food going to waste! :)

Love the washable factor!

Love love love that I can wash it. We just made it through our first week of school

And I can't wait to wash away those nasty school germs that are oh so close to the food my kids intake. 😜 I pack a water bottle, bag of chips, a sweet snack a fruit and a lunch container or thermos in it with no problem. I was going to look into getting those 3 compartment bento containers but they were too long for this lunch box but a square container fits perfectly and I'd rather have the option to wash than use a bento box. My kids really like them so far and they have no problem zipping and unzipping them on their own. They do not have enough room at their lunch table to open all the way so they just unzip 2 sides.

Best lunch box/bag I have found!
by AspenLiv (5 out of 5 stars)

I spent a long time looking for a lunchbox for my first grader. We have transitioned to bento and stainless steel type lunch containers, which tend to be a little bulky. I wanted something that would hold different shaped containers, plus his water bottle. This has been a perfect solution. He can manage the zippers on his own, it holds everything he needs, keeps food well insulated (with an ice pack), and most importantly - it is washable! My son told me it is too big to use as a placemat at school, but instead of completely unzipping it he unzips two sides and uses that flap as a place to set things. Works great for him. I will be buying a second one for my lunches, just have to choose a color....

Update: Sept. 30, 2019. The lunch bag is still going strong, and can hold enough food to keep a growing boy going through the day. I do struggle keeping it smelling fresh, and on one side the fabric is starting to separate from the body. But this is still the best lunch bag ever!

it is not pretty. I saw this advertised on "I want that" ...
by AshnOK (5 out of 5 stars)

Bought this to protect my desk from scorch marks. After heating up Pyrex containers and setting them on my desk...it is not pretty. I saw this advertised on "I want that" and immediately sought out its purchase. If you are a desk-eater, this is the product for you. It not only saves the desk, but my papers as well. I can set the lunchbox (folded open of course) over what I am working on at my desk and have no fear that my lunch will end up on my papers. It is a bit bulky and does not collapse so carrying and storage can be annoying. However, I will trade those "cons" for its functionality.

Great idea for preventing picking up germs from a lunch table!

My daughter loves this lunchbox! This is the second year we have purchased one. They hold up incredibly well with an elementary student. If it gets dirty we'd pop it in the wash machine and dry it and it was like new. This year my daughter goes from lunch straight to recess with out being able to put her lunch box up so we chose a different color to look less dingy. I love the fact that she won't have to worry about her lunch spot being dirty (and the germ factor) just unzip and you have a clean eating surface. Thank you Flatbox for coming up with this clever twist on a lunchbox.

Greatly improved design, very pleased
by Lauren (5 out of 5 stars)

Second update: Seller contacted me to offer a replacement and I am very happy to report the replacement is holding strong almost a year later! Good customer service and they had replaced the zippers with a different brand, so obviously responsive to customer feedback. That attention to detail is very evident in this much improved design.

Update: Lowering rating from three to two stars as a second zipper has now broken only a few weeks later. I really hope that with as many people I've read have had zipper issues, the manufacturer is taking note, replacing the zippers and re-examining the way they're assembled. The product is a great concept, just seems to be poorly executed at this point.

Original review: The size is accommodating for adult lunches. My husband and I pack salads for our work lunches with separate containers for dressing and fruit or other snacks and these do a great job at containing everything. The insulation factor is decent, but not overly impressive. The main reason for the 3 star rating is that the zipper on one of the two we ordered broke a little after a month of use. Conveniently right outside of the return window. So now we have one functional lunchbox and one that zips on three sides.

Broken zipper :(
by esierra (1 out of 5 stars)

My daughter loves this lunchbox. I saw it on Shark tank and knew I had to have it. I love the way it opens up all of the way or u can just unzip one side (which comes in handy for lunch at school, becauae of lack of space.) She's the only kid in school with this lunchbox(and I know because I work in the lunchroom)which I always think is really cool because its unique. Totally worth the price. Oh and super easy to wipe down.
***UPDATE****

It's been just over a year and the zipper is broken. I am very disappointed that it didn't hold up. We only ever used one zipper at a time and my daughter (who's 9) is very meticulous and careful with her things was always very gentle. Although you would think that a lunchbox almost completely comprised of zipper would be made with heavy duty zippers. Again very disappointed.

Too bad the zipper didn't hold up because the material is heavy duty, super durable and like the description machine washable. Ver
