Still going strong many years later. I bought this larger size thermos when my son grew into needing larger school lunch portions. I have probably used this thermos over a 1000 times (almost every school day for many years). It still works great and looks great. It keeps the food hot or cold. Its wide mouth is easy to fill, easy to eat from and easy to clean. Using such a well functioning product brings me pleasure (although I still don't love getting up early to pack his lunch).

I absolutely love this food jar! I made some oatmeal to carry with me to work for my breakfast. This food jar was the perfect size for my serving of oatmeal. The lid was easy to open and close, and I did not experience any leaking of the contents. I had a project that I needed to tackle immediately upon arriving at work, so I ended up eating my oatmeal about an hour later. To my pleasant surprise, my oatmeal was still piping hot and delicious from the first bite to the last. The food jar functioned perfectly and is worth every penny. I highly recommend this container!

I’m a fan of Hydroflask. This food thermo doesn’t disappoint. Easy to clean. Stores exactly what I plan to eat with no issues. Leak proof and just easy to pack to go.

Small, compact and light. Food is tad but warm after 6 hrs.

Very nice product. I bought this for my elderly aunt to take snacks to her husband who lives in foster care. She puts fruit, shrimp salad, puddings, etc in it. It's the perfect size and keeps food cold for hours and safe during travel. She also uses it to take snacks to her oncology appts which are 4 hrs long. She has brought cheese, fruit, etc. In it. This little cooler gets alot of use and worth every penny. Nice color too. My aunt is very happy with this purchase.

In the past, I always used Japanese brands like zojirushi, tiger. Compared to these, hydro flask food jar is bulky (bigger for its capacity and heavier).But, I like the wide mouth. Easier to put rice/pasta and easier to clean. It does not come with many smalls pieces to take apart to wash, either.In the morning, I pour boiling water to keep the container warm before packing food in it. My kids swear that it keeps even rice warm by the time they eat at school.Now all my kids use hydro flask food jars!
