 OK for the price, limited controls, very short range July 27, 2010
Lurfy's Ma (California)
For $20 it's hard to complain. Real RC vehicles are at least 10x that much. Still, I wouldn't buy another one. Sadly, I only learned this after I already bought three of them for different kids. And all three (different models) worked the same and had the same limitations.
The biggest problem is the range - about 10'. It's also intermittent. Once in awhile, it will work from farther away. But it also fails from very close.
It is not powerful enough for most carpets. Works pretty well on hard floors. Even had trouble on asphalt driveway.
It's also loud and annoying. I ended up taking it apart and snipping the wire to the speaker.
All three kids lost interest pretty quickly. It's just not reliable enough for a kid's short attention span. They have too many toys that work every time.

G. Balk (happy me)
Sent this gift to Japan for my grandson. Per his other grandmother he just loves it and they like it cause it does not hurt anyone.
 very satisfied January 27, 2010

Quick shipment, item as described. My two year old daughter LOVES this train. Great entertainment and turns VERY well, on a dime! Unlike other remote control toys, this one does well on carpets :)
 Great toy, but noisy January 9, 2010
A Mom (Charlotte, NC United States)
My two year old received this for Christmas and he and his five year old brother love it. It works great and is much easier to use than other brands which my five year old likes. I wish the train sounds had an on/off button. The sound is not of a clickety clack, but more of the whistle of a high speed train if you listen close, its not a great imitation of a train and plays over and over.... Otherwise cute product.
 Didn't work correctly January 9, 2010

The turn button didn't work. It would only go straight.
The motor is also very weak. It wouldn't work in a room with carpeting.
I'm very disappointed with it.
