I bought this because of the positive reviews.
The 3 inner bowls are made of cheap plastic, something that will breakdown when you heat your food. Because of that, I have never used it since the purchase. At this price, you would expect them to be made of ceramic, glass, metal or even hard plastic.
The bag is too small for holding a bottle of water or soft drink. It is also not easy to take the container out; you will have to open the velcro on both sides to take out the strap attached to the container.
The only things I have something positive to say about are the stainless steel construction of the outer container itself and the include spork.

It sure keeps the food warm if you follow the instructions well. I don’t need the chopsticks, but the spork is helpful. I’ll give it a 5 if it came with a bottle holder. . . .

I got this for my son who is picky about his lunch, Hot things stay semi-hot until his lunch time. I microwave meals at 8 he eats at 12. He says they are “warm”. . his biggest complaint is the condensation. probably not a biggie for adults, but for a 10 year old who is food picky, may be an issue.

I work in an office with about 75 people and the 2 small refrigerators are NEVER enough for all the people who bring their lunch.
I finally decided to risk the $50. 00 and picked one of these up after passing it every week at the Japanese market. Boy am I glad I did! This thing is a God-send. If I make something at night and store it in the provided containers in the fride, all I have to do is throw all the small containers into the big container, put it beside my desk and it’s ready to microwave. If I put something in the crockpot overnight, it’s even easier, just fill up the the small containers, put them in the big container, put it by my desk, open and eat. It’s still hot!
After living in Japan for 8 years, this is the quality of product and workmanship that I have come to expect. You will not regret buying this.

PROS: Sturdy construction, dark color resists stains, good for keeping different foods separate from one another
CONS: Containers only fit in the jar a “certain way”, bottom container is made for soup(not everyone takes soup to work everyday), a lot to wash after each use, a little bulky to carry around
