Rubbermaid Lunch Blox medium durable bag - Black Etch

CUSTOMER REVIEW



The Lunch Blox series has popped up at my local grocery store and big box stores. I really like the Lunch Blox food storage system because it allows me to take 1-2 salads to work without needing a full size cooler to tote them into the office. However, finding these bags has been a little harder.



Without seeing the bag in person, I ordered a Medium and I'm thankful I did. I would love not to take the tail gating cooler to work everyday. After inspecting this bag in person, it's very clear that the bag was designed with the Lunch Blox containers (and folks needs) in mind. It holds one salad kit easily, plus a handful of other Blox snack-size containers. Lately with my hectic schedule, I've been packing two 20 oz Blender Ball Protein Shake Mix Bottles very easily in this container with room for ice packs and small snacks like fruit and string cheese in baggies. This makes me think that an entree (long container most likely fits too, I just haven't tried it). Additionally, I do appreciate the understated styling to allow for flexibility (husband vs. wife use) and changes up the floral motifs.



The bag is more square shaped on the bottom/foot print. A nice design feature is the opening runs along the side so you don't have to go digging around in the deep abyss for a snack. This also makes cleaning up those dreaded spills easier. There are a few elastic bands on the inside of the 'lid' to store protein bars, or other items like utensils. The outside has pockets - one more intended for a 16 oz water bottle.



The quality is definitely apparent with this bag. Considering it's size and it's retail price ( you might want to check out the brand's website first), it's a good deal compared to what the lunch blox containers are being sold for. I've had this bag now for a few months and absolutely love it. The lunchblox containers are great as well; however I do find vinaigrette and the small container lids don't play nicely with each other - the lids are finicky and can be prone to leaking.



The only suggestion I could offer is a 'large' bag for those of us that eat two small lunches at work (i.e., would like to carry two salad kits) yet with a like compact footprint.
