5/5 Bob 'I bought this for y 4 year old grandson and he loves it as does his sister and all thier friends. Great value for money.'
2/5 Marcin 'The crane is really impressive (tall). It doesn’t lift to much weight but it’s enough for hot wheels cars. My boy loved it. However gearbox broke after just few days. It was really loud and it wasn’t lowering the string fully. We had to returned it. Also it is not really 360 degrees horizontal turn. There is an end stop that prevents the crane to rotate in circles. This wasn’t Bothering us much but maybe someone else won’t like it.'
5/5 BILAL 'Bought this 1 month ago and my kids love it, the height and rotation for its price is brilliant.'
4/5 Brewer 'Does exactly as described. Sadly, took 10 mins putting stickers etc on so that it looked like the desired toy before little one could play with it.'
5/5 Lisjenok 'Such a great toy,I bought this for my 3 year old boy,he absolutely loved it and I am surprised that he actually still playing with it, it’s over a month now ,usually it only couple of the days,after that he is not interested in to toys.Great toy'

4/5 K3llyC 'Fairly easy to put together. Brought for my three year old who enjoys playing with it and loved the electronic control. It’s decent quality for the price although it is fairly flimsy so probably not the Best Buy for a heavy handed child as it can topple over fairly easily'

5/5 Mum2boys 'This crane is amazing, my 4 year old has been obsessed with it since getting it on Christmas Day. Well worth the money we payed. The legs at the bottom could be a little longer as it does topple easily but the range of movement is brilliant. The hook going up and down is a little noisy but copable. Highly recommend for anyone with a construction loving child.'

1/5 Chloe 'I bought for my little boys 3rd birthday and he loved it but its constantly falling apart which heta frustrating. It fell over and a piece snapped. I swapped it and the replacenent was broken within 3 days. Do not waste your money!!!'
5/5 Yoyo 'Excellent product - sturdy, good size and loved by the kids.'
5/5 Mel 'For the price this is an amazing toy! Yes it may be a little on the softer plastic side but it does exactly what it says it would. We got a heavy stone from the garden to act as the counter balance and he is able to move his toy cars and trucks from one side to another. The controls are really easy to use and my three year old has had no problems. It is massive in comparison to him which he thinks is amazing. Definitely worth the money and the entertainment factor.'
5/5 Grandma 'My grandson loved receiving this large RC crane. He has had hours of fun using it in the garden. Excellent value too.'
5/5 Sarah 'Great for imaginative play. My 3 year old is obsessed with cranes and all things to do with construction so this was brilliant for him. I was surprised how sturdy it is and how well the remote works for it.'
5/5 Lucy 'Absolutely brilliant, my 4 year old loves it and has had hours of fun with it. Im not sure that it’s suitable for a 3 year old as they tend to be a bit rough at that age and could foresee it getting broke easier.'
5/5 KAZ 'Great toy -infact bought 2 as was well received by one grandson And other grandson wanted one -easy to assemble-both have had lots of playing with and imaginative play -would recommend-very good for price'
5/5 Alan 'Is an excellent birthday present for my son'
4/5 Linz 'Absolutely amazed at the value of this toy!! My 3 year old loves it, it’s the perfect addition to his “building site”. Note it’s not the most “durable” but fantastic value for all you get with it. Lots of people have commented on it'
5/5 Tozv 'A really good product. Good value for money. My 4 yr old plays with this all the time. Gets him away from screen time.'
5/5 Mich78 'Got for a friends boys birthday after he took a shine to my sons.'
4/5 Shelley22 'Bought this for my 3 year old grandson and the crane is an impressive size! Learning to use the remote control is a skill (raising, lowering and 180 degree turn) and he enjoys trying to lift and move his trains and other items. It wouldn't take a lot of rough/heavy handling but it is good fun and value for money.'
5/5 Rebecca 'Bought for my sons 3rd birthday he’s gonna love it, perfect gift bigger than I expected too'
5/5 SL 'Birthday present to my 6 Yr old, they loved it and very good service at Stroud branch at Sainsburys. Many thanks'
5/5 Neets 'I thought this is going to be a cheap product that won't last very long but it's actually pretty sturdy and stable. My 3 year old loves playing with it and it's the first remote control that he actually understands so that's a plus as well. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.'
5/5 AF1 'Excellent and sturdy product -so reasonably priced -hours of fun for 5-7 year olds'
