Internal Sealing
It comes with silicone designs along the edges of the top, which seals each section individually.
- The End Result: Now one section can hold hummus, while the other holds crackers. Shake the box upside down as much as you like. The chances of the hummus landing in the other section are non-existent. No more mushy croutons.
External Sealing
It is great for holding thick liquids like yogurt, ranch, or stew.
- The Catch: Don’t use it to hold water-based soups like chicken noodle soup. If you toss it into your bag upside down, it will become a true-life game of roulette.

The “Lazy Wash” Factor (Cleaning)
Now comes the toughest part of using the Bentgo Modern.
- The Inner Tray: The part of the container which comes into contact with your food. Microwave safe. Dishwasher safe. Simple.
- The Outer Shell: The highly prestigious side of the Bentgo Modern with the external seal. Don’t put it into the dishwasher. The high heat may cause the Bentgo Modern to warp, killing your chances of a leak-proof container forever. You’ll end up washing the outer shell by hand.
Comparison: Bentgo Modern vs. Glass Containers
Why purchase it over a Glass Pyrex?
| Factor | Bentgo Modern | Glass Container |
| Weight | Light | Heavy & Bulky |
| Separation | Keeps Food Separated (Bento Style) | Typical “clump” of food together |
| Microwave | Tray only (Plastic) | Whole container (Glass) |
| Design | Tall (High-Class) | Short (Practical) |
Final Thoughts
Rating: 8.5 out of 10 (Great for Office Use, not rough customers).
Purchase Bentgo Modern If:
- You Enjoy Variety: You enjoy a “grazing” style of lunches gathering a little cheese, a nugget of fruit, a roll, and some nuts.
- You Enjoy Aesthetic Appeal: It will show off like a pro sitting upon a corporate desk.
- You Don’t Enjoy Mushy Food: It will keep your salad away from your dressing ‘til you’re ready to eat it.
Skip It If:
- You Eat a ‘Big Meal’ Style: Do you use it for lunches consisting of large portions of items like chili, or salads large enough to require mixing space? Then this container is too shallow.
- You Don’t Enjoy a Hand-Wash: Refuse to wash the container by hand? Then expect a Bentgo Modern replacement every month.
The Bentgo Modern will turn out to be the best “Adult Lunch Box” purchased by white-collar workers desirous of portion control yet mortified by a box of kid-labeled leftovers.
