What we like:
+ Large enough for an adequate meal.
+ Still good size and weight of school bags.
+ Keeps long warm (well over 8 hours at 2/3 thirds filling).
+ Opening large enough for to spoon the soup directly from the vessel as well as for cleaning of the vessel.
Negatives:
- Paint goes off easily, but does nothing because nothing can rust. Blemishes
Conclusion: Would I buy again.
