I bought the remote-controlled loader for kindergarten. The battery included with the purchase maintains the new state by a good four hours of continuous use, not just 5 min. In the control of the blade you have to clean some work done, so not very easy, but functionally well, because the blade can be lowered to the ground and very well may be loose bulk materials such as beans, peas take etc. and precise elsewhere again pour. Pops the steering and bucket arise only if the maximum working radius is exceeded, thus also a signal to the child, the button on the remote control are (finally) to let go. Why only 4 stars: There are päd. diverse usable toys, but of a remote-controlled device I do not expect that too. The wheel loader makes me a rather robust impression, only the superstructures and the blade seem somewhat fragile, a hard fall or firm step they would not survive well, as an excavator used in kindergarten is possible only if accompanied by teachers. Is that the price in the past three weeks increased by 60 euro, not just motivated for new acquisition.
