it swivels, it digs, and when he discovered the plow moved up and down he was ecstatic, lol. he's 4 1/2 this year and trucks are high on his list, and this one is very authentic and true to life.

I've got a two year old that is obsessed with constuction trucks. He loves this. I couldn't find an excavator in the stores so I ordered it on here.

My 2.5 year old boy loves this toy and wants to play in the sandbox with it all day if I let him. He can be rough with his toys, but this particular toy seems to be holding up pretty well w/o any damage from my little monster. As one of the reviewers mentioned, it can potentially pinch little fingers. It's because the handle attached to the boom requires some coordination to operate... and most toddlers don't have that coordination. It even took me some practice to maneuver it in order to scoop sand w/ it. So the little boy rather likes to hold the arm of the excavator and scoop sand with the bucket directly w/o using the handle. Doing so, his fingers sometimes get pinched between the hydraulics and arm of the excavator. My boy learned it quickly and he avoids getting his fingers pinched... and it doesn't seem to be a big problem. I guess that's part of learning toddlers get with this toy. Overall, this is a great toy except for the price. But it's made in Germany not in China, so you're buying the Mercedes... 4 stars, not 5, b/c of the price and finger pinching.

My sons loves this excavator. It was a little hard to put together since it came from Germany and only had pictures to go by but I was able to put it together anyway.

I bought this for my 3-1/2 year old son and it is a great product. My only complaint is that it took me over an hour to assemble (I don't do this kind of thing very often) and that I made a mistake, which could not be undone - the digger still works though.
