deeply underwhelming
It's big and looks impressive. The gearbox has some fun moments to build. But it just doesn't work anywhere near acceptably. To control the scoop in any reasonable way you need to be able to control different segments of the arm simultaneously, which you can't. It's hopelessly slow/underpowered (most of the power of the motor is absorbed by friction and backlash in the gearbox and drive train, not delivered to the actuators). The rough terrain crane 42082 similarly used a single motor and multiple gearboxes, but worked REALLY WELL (ok, the stabilisers were a bit slow) and was endlessly playable. This just doesn't. I can't imagine anyone wanting to use/demonstrate it. Most disappointing.

much toooooo expensive
A lovely excuvator with decent functions but with a nasty hefty price tag Lego just lets prices get out of control

Glad I read the reviews first
I'll admit I haven't got this set, however, that's due to all the 1 star reviews highlighting the poor value for money. Lego, please take all the feedback into account for future sets. Don't lose adult fans because of prices, which are increasing whilst quality of the products is reducing. There are lots of 2nd sets and Lego out there which offer far, far better value than this set, which doesn't offer anything that new or different.

Nice build
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have read the reviews and decided ti buy something else. But realty changed my mind at the lego shop! I believe it is a great kit, made me get to into the crane theme of LEGO. Currently looking to find more motorised kits to build! It needs a certain skill to build though!

Very good build instructions are good could be a bit more clear

A straightforward and enjoyable build
An enjoyable and easy build. Slightly disappointed that the movement of the arm is very slow - I would have expected the movements to have been slightly quicker. Also disappointed that the tracks were not powered. Still, a handsome model, though!

Hybrid Excavator
Good build, I am into construction vehicles and I have added it to my collection. Could be better if it was app controlled. I would recommend it

Way too expensive!
This set is way too expensive! For the number of pieces and only one motor, it should have been a lot cheaper. Something I have noticed with LEGO is that if a set is marketed as 18+ (as this one is), you can expect to have to pay a lot more for it than if was for a below 18 age group. Why should we be paying more for LEGO just because a set is aimed at adults specifically?

Not the best
Was really looking forward to this build as Lego Technic don’t come around enough, to say I was disappointed is a understatement, not good value for money, was expecting full app control for the price of the set, maybe should have researched before buying as I might have not purchased, so please Lego bring out another build vehicle soon but with full motorised actions, it might then be worth the money, from a very disappointed loyal customer.
