By Sarah M. on August 6, 2020
was very skeptical about this purchase at first due to some of the other reviews and the price. Overall very pleased and can honestly say if it was to break today I would order a new one because seeing him play with this day in and day out and the abuse it take is worth it.
The trucks are expensive but worth it in my opinion. I love that Bruder dedicates itself to making spare parts available to extend the usable life of their toys and so impressed with their customer service that it moved me to write my first-ever Amazon review. They are definitely earning their 5 stars in my book!

My son is 2.5 and could not use the boom and bucket.
My daughter who’s 4 tried and she couldn’t get the concept.
It actually takes a bit of coordination to scoop and deposit sand so it’s definitely not suited for anyone less than 5 years if you actually want to try to scoop sand as it’s intended?
It looks cool so any boy would love it at first glance I’m sure.
But functionality not so much.
So why did I give 1 out of 5?
Out of the box my son was blown away.
Looks great and feels solid.
It’s 100 percent plastic but feels like strong plastic(if that’s thing).
So we got down to business right away.
We bought it for the sand box.
Not a toy to sit sparkly clean in the living room.
It was meant to move some dirt!
So disappointment number one, as mentioned before, the digging mechanics are too complex for a toddler. It took me a few tries to figure it out.
But I won’t dock a point for it. Just for people that think they’re three year old will know how to actually dig sand with it. It’s pretty tricky to use.
Next, the handle that you stick your hand in to move the boom and bucket is rather thin so it kind of hurts your hand when you try to dig the bucket into the sand and try to scoop it. It takes a bit of effort to dig up material so it’s kind of painful.
My son could not even get any dirt.
Minus 1 star for that.
Next, as some reviewers have mentioned, the tracks don’t work in the sand. They basically seize up as soon as sand gets in there. So you can’t even roll the thing around. If you try to force the track to move and dislodge the sand stuck in the track it will fall off. Pretty bad design if in fact it was meant to be used in a sand box. Minus two stars for that.
Lastly, I may be old school but 80 bucks for a plastic toy that does this poorly in the sand is way to expensive.
My wife gave me a hard time saying right away when she saw it for the first time it’s over priced.
I defended the excavator as much as I could saying how awesome it was but after failing miserably in the sand, I couldn’t support it anymore and returned it.
It would look and work just fine if your kid was lifting their gi joes inside the house, but don’t expect anything from it if you actually want to your kid to play with it in the sand.

It's true that there are no glue or screws that are in the way and could harm children. Very well made and designed.
We gave it to our little boy for his birthday and he loves it! Fun in the house, where it does not scratcha anything, and loads of fun at the parc or in any sandy area.
You pay for great quality here!
Even better if you get it on sale.
He calls it his "Bigger Digger" as he also has a little Tonka digger. He also decided that it will be an "Inside" toy, not for the sandbox, as he doesn't want to get it dirty.
It looks really tough with high grade, very hard plastic, so hopefully it will last. Beautifully detailed with German engineering.
The only minor downside is that it comes with some small plastic pieces for a handrail, mirror and some track inserts. These items seem to be mostly if you wish to treat this as an accurate model, not a hard playing toy. The track inserts don't stay and the hand rails easily pull off. I suggest not using these pieces at all.
