How do you transport this to/from work? Just wondering because it doesn't seem as convenient as an insulated lunch bag. Will it fit in one of those?

I actually have quite a large insulated lunch bag that is the size of a medium size pocketbook. I may be a little difficult to transport in one of the smaller insulated bags, but one you get it you can fit one that fits. It is worth it. Once I am work I stuff it in a refrigerator, but the insert if you chill it first should keep it fairly cool.

Probably won't fit in a standard lunch bag, but can be carried in 6-pack-size cooler bag or plain plastic or tote bag. By itself it's much better than insulated bag which doesn't really seal. This has insulation top and bottom and the lid screws on tightly.

If the bag is wide enough at the base, yes. My daughter has a medium-sized bag and it fit in hers perfectly; however, if it's a smaller bag, say only the width of a paper bag, then it will only fit tilted sideways. Maybe the dimensions are on the website? Hope this helps!

I haven't needed to put it in an insulated bag - the container includes a "freezer pack" built in so the salad has stayed cool for me at my desk without the need of a frig.

It's not too bad. I have a big purse, and it fits in there. I like it because of its different compartments. Nothing gets soggy anymore. And the entire stays cool without refrigeration. If you have a car to and from work, I would definitely get one. One would also fit in a back pack. Hope this helps.

I think its too big for a carry on bag. I suggest you get a heavy insulated lunch bag. Maybe one that has built in gel packs

I put it in a lunch bag. I usually pack to two smaller ones in my childs lunch and the larger one just for me.

Here are the dimensions of the cooler--16 x 10.2 x 7.4 inches ; 3.7 pounds. There is one large compartment and two smaller ones towards one end of the box. My husband has carried this to work for years, and uses it for more than just lunch; I mean like storing snacks for work, sometimes loose change, whatever. I have not ever measured every compartment, but I really think you would like it. Hope what I told you helps.

You might be able to transport it in a mid sized car. It is kind of bulky but snaps shut so it won't open when moving.

ABSOLUTELY, YES! Also love the lg bag. I haven't had to keep something cold for "up to 10 hours", but it has worked for me for 6 hours. There's no frig at work, so the bag will keep my lunch cold from 6am until lunch. Lg bag great for carry cold drinks for the boys when they are playing sports. Lots of times they are usuable, that they work and that they are so very convenient.

I have been using my insulated lunch box with a reuse able ice pack in it. It has worked great so far. The bags don't leak and don't take up a whole bunch of space. I pump at lunch so the food leaves and the bags go in.

P.S. You might also want to save the box it comes in. It's fairly sturdy. I cut some packing foam to size so its braced and cushioned in the box and doesn't slide around inside when its in my back pack. I take it back and forth between work and home every weekend.

I have filled it with ice and water to go to work on a hot day. At the end of the day, I throw it into my lunch bag and forget about it. The next day when I arrive at work, it still has ice in it. Hope this answers your question.

Not really "insulated" the lunch box is padded. Food doesn't stay hot it more or less stays warm. The small round container has a special lid that keeps foods warm as does the larger bowl. It's quite odd. The lid you see on the canister is the lid for the larger bowl. So the way it shows it in the little booklet that comes with is that the tight fitting packing of the two in the canister and the snug fit lids is what keeps the foods warm. My son still says he has to stand in line at the microwave anyway if he has time. Otherwise it's just warm like the last one to come to dinner just before everything gets put in the fridge.

I never had the opportunity to carry the bag in that much heat. It is well insulated and I think with extra cold packs it may be just fine. The bag was a lot larger than I thought it would be so I do not use it for work everyday. More of a cooler for special occasions.

I use it for work as a lunch bag but I can fit more than my food inside as it is very spacious. It looks bulky but I got over it fast. Haven't tried putting cans but I'm pretty sure it'll fit 6 cans easy. & they do stay cold.

It's definitely a bag, meant for mobile carrying use, not to sit at your station. Hope this helps! I absolutely love mine!

I say no, but I use it every single day for work and I like it a lot. For insulation you may want to buy a lunch bag that is specially made for that.

This is a fairly large shopping bag, so I don't use it as a lunch tote. I do use it to carry refrigerated or frozen items home from the grocery store. I've had items in the tote for as long as an hour and they stayed cold very well without an icepack.

It is insulated but I'd have hot lunches in a thermos container of some sort. This is a rather large lunch back. Look at the measurements. If you had hot items in a regular tupperware container, I'd think it'd only stay warm a short amount of time. I used this bag for my 3rd grader and she took soup a lot but I had put her hot items in one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Foogo-Proof-Stainless-Steel/dp/B0025Y6742/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1390152072&sr=8-2&keywords=thermos

It's not a "dainty" cooler. I rather like it - I can take lunch AND supper in it - with ice to keep the supper cold for many hours. Lunch on the outside to stay warm, salad on the outside. I'd probably hate to lose it!
