Q: Hi, just wondering.... it goes forward & backward, how do you stop it ?
submitted by Ana T - 2 years ago
A: Hi Ana! Thanks for reaching out! The Maxx Action 3-N-1 Maxx Recycler is designed with a motorized drive, so it will roll forward and backward for a short distance, typically just a couple of feet, before it stops on its own. If you'd like to stop it sooner, you'll need to pick it up and press the switch off. Hope that helps!

Dont buy
Terrrrrrible. We’ve had two! Returned both fur same issue. The belt on the side loading part breaks immediately- it’s a common issue. My son is so upset. Just don’t even bother with it. It’s a fantastic toy if this just doesn’t happen. We loved it otherwise. lol

Defective rubber track breaks immediately
Belt broke within 2 hours of bringing it home. I couldn’t believe it until I read all the other reviews saying the same exact thing happened. Clearly defective and disappointing target would sell this.

Just like everyone else mentions, the belt to the recycle broke within an hour of opening the box. Fun concept but it needs better quality.

Wouldnt reccomend
Broke as soon as we got home. The front wouldn't go all the way up. Just clicks and gets stuck. Then later( the same day) the part that holds the trash can broke. It drives forward and back makes noises and has a light on the inside of the cab. My child loves interactive toys. But this is terrible quality for what you pay for it. Definitely do not recommend 🫠

Breaks / stops working easily
Broke the same day we purchased it. The side trash can tracks got off track and won't lift or go back down. Tried to contact the company about the warranty, since we threw the box away, but they have not responded to me and I don't think we can return it without the box. Disappointed.

Broke before getting out of box!
We hadn’t even finished getting it out of the box before the lifting mechanism for the garbage can had snapped. It was replaced and that one lasted two days. It inspires lots of interactive play, but breaks faster than a dollar store toy and should be priced accordingly.

Within less than an hour of normal play by my 4-year-old son, the belt mechanism responsible for lifting the recycling can broke completely. This was not the result of rough handling, misuse, or excessive force—it simply failed almost immediately after being taken out of the box.

Loved to death in two days
My kids LOVED this toy, but the garbage can lift broke after just two days when the belt inside snapped. I may buy it again but it really isn't very durable.

broken during first hour of play
This toy was broken during the first hour of play. The garbage can lift on the side will not move. I put new batteries in and it did nothing. this is a cheaply made toy and should be no more than $10 unfortunately. I will be returning.

Three year old loves this. It is a fun garbage truck but I took a star away due to the fact it breaks easily. We are on our third truck. I do think it’s priced well. So I’m ok buying another when it breaks because it does hold his attention for a long time. We have lots of garbage trucks and this is definitely in his top three favorites.

My son loves trash truck and we got this for him. He’s enjoying it but the little trash thing on the side broke not even 15 mins of playing.
