9 Channel Remote Control Excavator for All Kids

This was hands down the best money we’ve spent in a long time! I got this as a Father’s Day gift for my husband after we watched a dad and his 20-year-old son have a blast with a similar excavator at the beach last summer. After comparing options on Amazon and TikTok and reading tons of reviews, I went with this one—and it did not disappoint. The size is impressive (check the video for comparison to a smaller one we already owned), and it comes with two batteries, each lasting about 45 minutes. It’s super durable, handles both wet and dry sand with ease, and has great traction and power to move across the beach. The design is excellent—realistic, sturdy, and thoughtfully engineered to perform well on sand. It keeps everyone entertained while I relax and read, and honestly, there’s no age limit with this toy—it’s fun for adults and kids alike. We started with the excavator, but now we’re planning to add the dump truck, bulldozer, and loader to our collection. Highly recommend!

I purchased this for my dad as a Christmas gift, as he has worked in excavating all his life and I figured it would be a great gag gift. I doubt he will take it out to play with much, but it turned out to be a really high quality model, with lots of detail, and he will probably keep it as decoration on a shelf. As a toy, it's really easy to use while being challenging enough to have fun trying different things with it. Everyone on Christmas started passing around the controller, challenging each other to pick up objects off the floor. Even my two year old son was able to figure out basic functionality enough to drive it around. Functionally, it works very well and lasts over a half hour on a charge. The operation of the boom is simplified down to a simple button press to cycle it through a scooping motion, so if you want more complex control of the boom, you should look elsewhere, but as a toy it felt like more than enough control for pushing and pulling objects. Overall, as long as you don't expect too much from it, it's a fun toy that looks great as a static model. Real excavator enthusiasts may be disappointed with the lack of individual controls for the bucket and arm, but the simplified operation makes it much easier for children to experience.

This excavator bought November 2024, for my 7 year old grandson. I don’t normally buy RC because they get a beat and don’t last., this is still in use. I called my grandson to get his take on it. He said he likes it a lot, I asked why, he said it digs, it works good. So he is happy and so am I. I asked him what is the something you don’t like. He said it moves to slow. So there you go from a kids prospective. A good toy to buy, to improve it make it move faster, Litle guy gets impatient he wants to dig now! Should be possible, Right. If this toy is still going it’s durable, I bought it because of its nice design, and looks like the real big ones.

Purchased as a gift for my spouse, and having looked at dozens of models I landed on this option. Be sure to plan for the initial battery charging time (I didn't plan ahead lol).

This excavator provides a lot of fun for our boys. It's easy for them to operate, 2 and 3 years, and it's battery life is long. We put 11lbs of kinetic sand in a low Rubbermaid container and they used this and a front loader to scoop the sand and make sand mounds. It provides entertainment and also requires them to use hand-eye dexterity. We also noted that this is well made and sturdy. My husband even messes with it sometimes!

My 5 year old grandson loves it plays with it every time he's here. The battery's last a long time.

My son loves it definitely needs a larger battery fond some and now will last more than 10 min it’s also quite won’t drive you nuts with fake noises

Bought this along with a 50 lb bag of play sand for Christmas day. Kid had some fun with it. The remote and features are cool, lights turn on and off, it rotates independent of the treads, handles well, and of course the bucket is fun too. Bucket seems to be metal which is a bonus. Unfortunately the power isn't there at all. If you try to dig pretty much anything over 1/4 of the bucket the gears will click, same goes for trying to drive up any significant incline. I bought a dump truck from the same manufacturer to go with this and that has 4 batteries in the pack whereas this has 1 which is interesting. If there is anything in the bucket it likes to fall over. I did not like having to keep taking the remote from my kid to baby this thing through turns or manually scoop dirt away from the bucket to not overburden it. Don't get me wrong - something like this at this price point would be unfathomable for me as a kid - but unfortunately I will likely have to upgrade this thing right away because it just doesn't offer a fun experience. But if you just want to drive around on pretty much level sand it can do that no problem. Edit: Now that we've had this a few days the treads keep binding up on themselves (see photo) and it stops moving on one side. You have to manually pull the tread out of the area where it is pinching. Yet more babying to keep this thing moving. Edit: Dropping another star, the bucket stopped moving after <2 hours of use and the body is stuck rotated around 90° and will not rotate back. Seems like it was never meant to do anything. Edit: Not sure how this thing has so many stars, completely broke after <3 hours of use.

I used this item and found it did not do what you would expect something like this to do. It is moor for looks then use.

Bonito juguete es para mí lo disfrutaré, jajajaja soy de la tercera edad pero me gusta jugar

Better than expected, the construction of this toy is pretty durable making it great for younger kids, battery doesn’t last very long but comes with two batteries in the box so as long as you keep both charged it’s not a deal breaker! Would recommend.

My 5 yr old grandson absolutely loves this toy!

Although product image and real product is different but the product that I’ve received is also good,it has a cool working mist spray at the back and has a metal bucket,overall you can go for this product but keep note that product image and real product is different
