"Thrilled grandson"2009-09-08
By Ingrid G. Kowalski
My grandson was so excited - it was a birthday gift when he turned four. All he said when he saw it was WOW. And then WOW WOW. And a few more WOW's. He just sat down on it and dug up stones the rest of the party. And everyone took turns, including the older children. It was the hit of the party.
"calling all construction workers!!"2009-03-11

My husband chose this for our son as an alternative gift to the usual Bruder toys he already has. Don't get me wrong, Bruder's oversized trucks are interactive and fun, but what a GREAT lifesize working toy for the boy (which one you might ask, the 4 or 40 year old?) who loves to play in the dirt, leaves and sand. This excavator is made of sturdy metal and isn't very hard or time consuming to assemble. There's only one part that Jack gets frustrated with and it's the red flip-lock that holds the scoop in what I call the "off the floor" position that you see in the photo. I'm confident with use he'll get the hang of pulling back on the handles and easily flipping that piece back to let the scoop drop to the ground. This is a great toy for all ages as my 7 year old daughter loves to sneak a scoop or two when Jack isn't looking...and Dad is out looking for one that will hold his weight!
"A boy's dream"2008-10-02

My boy received this 3 years ago when he was 1 1/2 years old. He loved to sit on it in the house for the first year and turn around on it. After the first year, we moved it outdoors to the big sandbox. It has sat in the sandbox ever since.
My boy is now 4. He loves to go outside and "work" on his excavator. He can do everything really well now. He loves how it looks like the "real" thing. It has held up really great and has not faded or rusted. Some of the stickers are peeling off. It has sat for 2 years in all sorts of weather, including the scorching 110 degrees of summer and the freezing nights of winter.
My only complaints are that one of the bults in the "arm" of the excavator routinely comes undone and falls off. Also, it has been known to tip over a few times when my boy is digging while turned to the side position of the track base. It would probably be better if it was on a solid flat surface, but then it wouldn't be digging in the sand, right?
After 3 years, this excavator is still hard on the job and going strong!

"WORTH EVERY PENNY!"2007-09-04
By Karen W. (NH)
We bought this excavator for my son's second birthday and he just loves it! He is a big kid, so he is able to sit in the seat and manipulate the bucket. The arm does lock - and he is not coordinated enough yet to pull back the left lever and unlock the arm. It is not an issue because at this point, he is just happy to sit and spin around on it. It does cost a chunk of change, but is worth every penny. I know that he will play with this for years! Not one regret with this purchase!
