Customer Reviews: Kids love it although already having some issues with mechanisms working properly. November 19, 2009 Betty Winther (MO) Great service from Amazon. Received item quickly. Kids love it. Having some issues with the mechanicals of it, but kids continue to play with this truck a lot.
FUN FOR FOUR-YEAR-OLD July 17, 2010 Granny to 3 Boys (Spokane, WA) I would say that this toy is pricey for what it is. Plastic. However, my 4-year-old grandson was seriously lusting after it. He LOVES it! It makes noise,
lights up, and the crane goes around in a circle. He pulls out the hook, and hooks up everything in sight. He's happy; so I'm happy. Be aware that the truck itself does not move. Only the crane.
If it worked it would be great September 7, 2009 Suzanne Deangelis When I received this toy, I hand-turned the arm on it and then the boom part never worked when using the controls. It is supposed to move left and right using a control switch. So I contacted the person that I purchased it from and he sent me a new one. I was thrilled because the boom worked properly for about a week (I had to explain to my 3 1/2 year old to NEVER move the boom by hand - but in order for the boom to move up and down you have to use your hand to move it up). My son did a great job using his hand to move it up and down, and the control lever to only move it left and right. Well, as most 3 year olds would do, he went to play with it the other day and sure enough he accidentally moved the boom just a little to the left or right. Now the control lever that moves it left or right does not work at all. There is a RESET button at the bottom which does nothing. This toy is a WASTE OF MONEY. It would be much better if the boom was just hand-movable completely (and it would be much cheaper).
Extremely Disappointing. Avoid it! June 12, 2010 Arlene Berman (New York, NY) I purchased this item for my 3 1/2 year old grandson and it was the worst purchase ever. The arm is stiff and difficult to raise and the left/right turn apparatus didn't work at all. I had to return it twice...and finally gave up. Fortunately, the vendor toys4usa were more than cooperative otherwise I would have really been out of luck. Suggestion: Perhaps if instructions came with the vehicle I would have had more realistic expections.
