This is the 2nd 6pack bag I've owned and after owning my first one, I knew to go ahead and take out the trays because they easily break. It functions just as well if not better without the trays seeing as you don't have to worry about them unexpectedly breaking and all of your things fall out when you open it up for your next meal. Other than no trays, it's in great condition and has been cleaned with hot water and baking soda since my last use.
