Why is this categorized as leak-proof if it is not?

People do that all the time, make things sound better then they are. It is still a good product.

The bottom layer may hold a little bit of liquid but I wouldn't really trust the top compartment. Bento boxes are more meant for dry lunches. Sushi, salads, sandwiches, rice, etc.

I'm not sure but it clearly states in the description that it is not." Bentgo is NOT leak proof. It does seal very well, but to be safe when packing dressing, fruit and other liquids, be sure to keep the Bentgo upright during transport."

From my understanding, products are originally categorized by the seller/manufacturer and then that is confirmed or reclassified by workers. As the manufacturer clearly states it is not leak-proof, perhaps one of the workers categorizing products misread or just assumed it would be. It's always best to go by the description and information given by the manufacturer instead of just relying on a sorting filter.

Everything is sealed and doesn't appear to be end-user modifiable from what I see.

If it's not installed right, of course leakage is possible. Have a professional install it for you.

The House is leak proof. Buti f you experience leakage reexamine the unit to assure that you have snapped it together properly. It shouldn't leak at all.

I don't know. I haven't tested it for that. My purpose for getting it was to use in a spa or on a pool float. No problem with either of those but I've never dropped it accidentally and wouldn't do on purpose. With both thick track locks secure and folded over, I feel pretty certain it would not leak in the time it would take to get it out of the water if I did drop it, but I can't say for sure.

Sorry, not sure, it's working great. No leaks. I did a video on YT if you are interested. Froggy's Garage.:)

If I recall correctly there's a thin layer of styrofoam to insulate the tank and reduce the chances of sweating. As far as a leak I believe it's pretty much a sealed unit except for where the flush mechanism is installed. As long as you make all the plumbing connections correctly there shouldn't be any leak. I'm very pleased with the unit I purchased. I don't miss that ugly tank one bit and there's more room in the bathroom now as this toilet takes up less space.

I'd agree -- I'd say 3.0 is about 95% leak proof, where the previous version (2.0?) was about 50% leak proof, and totally unreliable if the Kanteen was on its side. This one has been tipped over a batch of times in my briefcase without leaking.

No, it is not. It is made of rigid plastic. I think that is better, as it helps prevents leaks.

It looks like metal covered by transparent plastic, but I'm not certain that it actually is made of metal. In any case, even hoses made of metal on the outside depend on a rubber hose inside. The metal would be wrapped as a helix, and not one piece, and so it is not leakproof. A solid metal hose would be far too rigid.

It is supposed to be fully water proof, but the one I just purchased leaked immediately

It is not leak "proof" due to seams but it is lined with a plastic-like fabric that would definitely deter any leaks! I traveled with this carrier with United airlines and they said it was perfect. In fact, many other people in all the airports I've seen have this exact carrier. If you have any more questions please let me know!

I wouldn't use it at all, it leaked and I considered it a safety hazard, returned immediately. There are far better options IMHO.

This particular unit is not, because it does not meet the National Electrical Code to do so. It is not sealed from moisture, and probably not protected from corrosion.

I haven't tried that. But I have had two of these under my bed for emergencies. They've been there for many months now, maybe more than a year, and I've had no leaks.

I bought it and it wasn't sealed either, in fact the plastic it came wrapped in was a little wet. I was very suspicious and came back to this detail page specifically to check on this. Glad to see this is the first FAQ item! But yeah seems like there's no need to worry.

Yes, very leak proof. I carry it in a bag all the time also throw on the seat of car. I own 2, neither have ever leaked when they are closed.
