The Dimono® thermal container made a very good impression in our test. The product has an attractive, flawless design and is made of high-quality stainless steel and BPA-free plastic. The container is very easy to open thanks to the integrated pressure relief valve. The non-slip rubber base is also very practical. The container can be tested for 30 days without obligation. The removable outer lid, which is designed as a bowl, enables practical portioning and is therefore ideal for on the go. The retractable spoon is particularly practical. The container is available in 2 different sizes. Unfortunately, it is not dishwasher-safe.

The first impression
Packaging and contents
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The Dimono® thermal containers were delivered in a common shipping box. The shipping carton was compact and the individual products had little room to move around. The product packaging was undamaged and in perfect condition. Both the shipping box and the product packaging were easy to open. The product packaging is beautifully printed.
The container is wrapped in a transparent film. The film provides additional protection against dirt and damage during transportation. Overall, the set is well protected in the packaging and, apart from the film, no unnecessary packaging material has been used.
The packaging of the container is partially recyclable. Unfortunately, the plastic film cannot be recycled, but the product box can.
Overall, the thermal container makes a very good impression.

For the test, we filled a warm soup into the thermo containers. Even after our test phase of approx. 9 hours, the liquid was still very warm and had hardly lost any temperature. Even cooled liquids remained cold for a long time. The outside was neither hot nor cold and was comfortable to hold. The container proved to be absolutely leak-proof in our test; no liquid escaped even when tilted or shaken. We can also confirm the stated filling quantities of 500ml and 700ml after our test.
Opening the container is very easy thanks to the integrated pressure release valve. The pressure can be released by pressing the button. The removable outer lid, which is designed as a bowl, allows practical portioning and is therefore ideal for on the go. Filling is also easy. The non-slip rubber base of the container ensures a secure stand.
The retractable spoonis particularly practical. It has a fixed place in the recess of the screw cap. This means it cannot slip and is ready for use when needed without having to search for it. The spoon is easy to open and is a convenient size for eating.
The lid is dishwasher-safe. The thermos flask itself is not dishwasher-safe and should be cleaned by hand.
