DOUBLE E Volvo RC Excavator Remote Control Excavator Toy for Boys Full Function Construction Vehicles Toys with Shovel for Outdoor Play Sandbox Digger Toys Gifts for Kids

Excelente

Ordered for my son’s birthday and opened the package thinking the controller was underneath. There was not a controller in the box so I emailed the manufacturer, which I haven't heard back from. However, was able to easily return the package and Amazon shipped a new one promptly. My son loves playing with his excavator in the sandbox. It actually digs and does all the movement of a real one.

Great quality for the cost! Easy to use, even for a 4 year old.

good

Works great

Grandkids love this!

I'm reviewing the DOUBLE E Remote Control Fire Truck 10 Channel Water Pump 18 Inch Extendable Ladder Fire Engine with Working Sounds Lights Rechargeable 2.4GHz Toy Trucks for Kids Pros: It arrived quickly. Cons: The battery compartment and removal design on the firetruck is poor. It's a real aggravation for an adult and even more so for a young child. Everytime you want to charge the battery on the firetruck, you have to unscrewed a tiny metal screw out of a plastic hole to remove the battery compartment cover. Then you have to unplug a tedious, tiny connector to remove the battery. Then use your own phone charger with the toy company's special cable to charge the battery. I suspect its only a matter of time before the plastic hole gets stripped out from repeated wear and tear of the metal screw going in and out. A better design would be a USB-C port on the truck just like newer phones use. Then simply plug in your phone charger to the USB-C port on the firetruck to charge the battery. It makes no sense to have to remove the battery everytime you want to charge it. Would you want a phone that worked that way? I think not. The battery cover for the controller uses the same metal screw-to-plastic hole design as the truck. A better approach would be to copy the design used by many tv and dvr remotes. They simply have a plastic clip or tab that you press to remove the cover. After replacing the AA batteries you simply clip/snap the cover back into place. I suspect over time the repeated screwing and unscrewing into plastic will cause the hole to strip out. Then you will need to rig the battery cover with tape or velcro. Maybe its me but the noise this thing produces is aggravating and the ladder makes a loud click as if it were about to break. It's going back. At this price point I expect a better design.

My son really wanted a garbage truck toy, and this one definitely caught his attention. It looks great, and the functions are fun — it moves forward and backward with the remote control, and it makes sounds, which he enjoyed. In the beginning, he was excited to play with it, and it held his interest for a while. However, the reason I’m giving it only three stars is the battery issue. After just a couple of months, the battery stopped working completely. It wasn’t something we could fix, and once that happened, the remote-control feature no longer worked at all. At this point, the truck can only be pushed manually, which defeats the purpose of buying an RC toy. If I had to choose again, I personally wouldn’t purchase this toy because the remote control function didn’t last. That said, I can see how it might work well for others if they don’t run into the same battery problem. Overall: a fun toy with good features, but durability is a concern.

This is such a quality toy very nice and big and such detail. Thank you.

After doing some research on youtube I decided on buying this 1:16 scale Double E excavator (which included the bucket, grabber and drill). There are several brands out there and you can spend a lot of money if you want, but as a gift for a young child, this one serves it's purpose well. Compared to other RC excavators, I found that the Double E version had the most straight forward controls. It is, of course, cordless and moves in all directions using it's tank-like treads. The arm swivels and articulates just like a real excavator. The bucket and grabber work well at picking up relatively light objects. (Again, you can pay more for a heavy duty adult collector's/hobbyist excavator, but for kids, this one is good at moving Legos and such.) The drill attachment is fun to use for tearing Lego structures down. The excavator is nicely detailed and has lights and sound effects. The sound effects can be muted to spare any parents their sanity, if needed. This excavator is powered by a provided 4.8V 380mAh NiMH battery (so no memory issues with charging when using the provided charger) and takes 4-5 hours to fully charge. It has a run time of 30mins. The transmitter/controller requires you to buy 2xAA batteries. The unit is 63cm/24.8in Long, 16.5cm/6.5in Wide, 43cm/16.93in Height. Package weight 2.6 Kg/ 5.73 lbs. When looking for a dump truck to go with this toy, we found that the Bruder Granite 1:16 scale dump truck (#02825) was a great match. (My lil girl likes to put her Playmobil characters in both her excavator and dump truck.) If you want an RC dump truck (and don't care about being able to put little characters inside it), check out the Huina 1:14 scale. The Double E 1:16 scale excavator will have no problem filling up either of them, size-wise. Hope this is helpful to someone out there. Cheers!

Très réaliste dans les mouvements

Gave this to my nephew for Christmas yesterday. Charged for 8hrs as advised. Have tried many different things, and though the remote is pairing, nothing happens to the truck when you push the buttons. Have emailed the manufacturer, but will likely have to return. Have a very disappointed nephew!

Mon petit fils est bien content elle va bien
