We bought this to go with my daughter's Ballerina Lunch tote and water bottle. The Jar looks cute and does keep the food warm, but cleaning is a night mare. It is kind of hard to get rid of the food smell from this though the container does look clean. Sometimes no amount of cleaning with soap removes the smell. So I put it in dishwasher once. Water got trapped in the jar through the hole and it is not been coming out. Even the lid is very hard to clean. Removed the seal/stopper kind of thing on lid to clean and it was a big hassal to put it back. I would not recommend it to anyone.
