Our take on the Joyfy Remote Control Excavator

The Joyfy Remote Control Excavator is a yellow RC construction toy with a working arm that scoops, carries and dumps sand. It is aimed at kids roughly 3 to 12 and works best on sand, dirt or gravel in a yard or on a beach. Against pricier hobby-grade RC diggers it is simpler and lighter, with fewer channels and no metal parts, but it is easier for young kids to pick up. Owners rate it 4.3 out of 5 across 138 ratings, with most praise for the digging play and some complaints about durability and control range.
