S'wellStainless Steel Food Bowls - 21.5oz - Azurite Eats - Triple-Layered Vacuum-Insulated Containers Keeps Food Cold for 11 Hours and Hot for 7 - Condensation-Free, Leak-Free and Dishwasher-Safe

I was so excited for this - to use for oatmeal or soup or grain bowl, etc - but it wasn't what I had expected. It does not say this in the Amazon description, but the inner food portion of the "16 oz" container - the "prep" container hold 1 cup of food!! not sure of the purpose, maybe salad dressing? - it's TEENIE TINY. So I've concluded that the utility of this item is really just as a thermos (I can't imagine when I'd use that inner "prep" container).. If you buy the larger size "21 oz container" then the inside food prep container is 14 oz.

We expected this to perform to the same standard as the s'well bottles we have. This does not perform to that same standard. We put food, heated to boiling, and when eating it 2.5 hours later it was just warm. We tested multiple foods, soup and oatmeal. Both had the same results. It's OK but in the end we are disappointed with the product. We have similar items from competitors that perform much better.

I love the concept but it did not keep my food warm. It is a pain taking it in and out but I love that you can take it out and warm it up if needed. Too expensive.

I must say this little container inside is a lot smaller than the actual bowl itself. I couldn’t fit my Campbell’s soup completely inside. Discouraged I still took it to work and to my surprise the soup stayed warm for hours without me needing to re-heat before lunchtime so that was a bonus. I recommend buying the optional additional bowls if you’re not on some 800 calorie diet

Problem 1 - Comes with plastic inserts.Problem 2 - Glass inserts are only sold in sets of 4. If I buy 1 container why do I NEED 4 inserts.Problem 3 - Not exactly leak proof since the insert lids do not lock.Problem 4 - Heat retention is so-so.Problem 5 - Impossible to heat food in microwave (see below).Problem 6 - Food must be heated in glass or plastic insert before placing in container.Problem 7 - Glass/plastic insert gets hot and cannot be safely handled to remove from microwave or insert into container.Problem 8 - Mediocre customer service and the customer pays for return shipping.Solution - Porter tight seal bowls. They are glass, microwave safe and are designed with silicone covers (so you don't burn your hands taking them out of the microwave), and are leak proof.Really wanted to love this but cannot recommend. May be good for small salads but even then it is too bulky to carry for a small side salad.

Very disappointed. I swear by S’well bottles but this does not meet their standards. I heated my food above an eating temperature only to have it luke warm a few hours later. I will be asking for a refund.

Aren’t perfect but are good. Don’t hold heat or cold for over 6 hours for sure. Use it only for insulation so it does not get condensation on the inside of whatever I’m carrying food in. Stylish and cute, cool and easy to use. I just can’t give them a 5 star because of the not super keeping the temperature in. But although I’ve never just used the metal itself so perhaps it would work better like that but the prep bowl are easier to grab and go. Also I wish the inner containers were glass and not plastic. I know the plastic is dishwasher and microwave safe but I’m always hesitant to put plastic in the microwave.

Really impressed with this product. The inner compartment is perfect for my breakfast. I make scrambled egg around 7:30AM before leaving home but usually do not want to eat breakfast until 10:00AM. When I have my breakfast, my eggs still hot (not piping hot, but good temp). The inner plastic container is just the right size for my needs. I also discovered that a small mason jar fits in the container too. It is easy to clean and works well

Bought it for my 7 yr old who just missed hot food at school. We tried all other brands on the market (thermos, etc) but it would not keep it warm enough to qualify as "Luke warm" for our son. So the food would come back without being eaten. After we got Swell, there is not a single grain of food left. He loves it. He tells us, the food sometimes is so hot, that he lets if sit for sometime for it to be at an edible temperature. (That's what a parent needs to hear from their child who had an entire school year without finishing their lunch box) We are really happy with the purchase. Obviously the price is steep, but i guess its worth it, if that is what you are looking for.

I have several S’well products including water bottles and traveler. I’ve always been impressed with how long they can keep drinks hot and cold. I was so excited to see this available for food but was sooo disappointed! I tried using it with the prep bowl, putting food directly into the stainless steel bowl, preheating the bowl with hot water... each time it couldn’t even keep my oatmeal hot for 3 hours! What a disappointment for the brand and the price! Will definitely be returning!

Sin caja, sin embalar, sin instrucciones ni bolsa ni nada con dos golpes a falta de uno. Lo que mas me fastidia aparte de tener que desplazarme a devolverlo es el absoluto desprecio al cliente.El producto aparece como en la primera foto. Que reenvies un producto que te han devuelto si crees que esta bien me parece hasta ecologico pero que metas en una caja un producto roto (porque ya me diras lo que van a aislar dos paredes metalicas que se tocan) sin tansiquiera intentar que el papel cutre de enbalaje de amazon lo rodee minimamente es insultante!Cuando recupere mi dinero buscaré un termo en una tienda de verdad!

Heavy and larger than expected but great for packing lunch! Can’t use the microwave to warm food in the container because of the metal

Swell quality and with extra inserts you can have meals prepared and just put a new insert in each day to be kept cold.
