This mini excavator was eagerly awaited by one keen recipient after it was ordered from China, and the result will make your jaw drop.

Although the machine was clearly on the smaller side, the power was impressive.

The creator put the tool through extensive testing with other family members, also lending a hand.

After the tests were complete, one thing was clear: you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

This mini excavator was recruited to help on this land

YouTuber Ebikeschool.com is no stranger to ordering a unique electric purchase from China, and this time, he wanted to put a mini excavator to the test.

The first task the YouTuber faced was getting out of the shipping container, and once it was disassembled, it was game time.

“Man, that is a small excavator,” he said as he unboxed it.

The mini excavator needed to be carefully manoeuvred out before the first dig was carried out, and the fun could begin.

The machine came with a 100 percent charge, but there was one setback with the controls being somewhat opposite to what he expected.

So, after switching the controls over, the machine was easier to use and could be really tested to the max.

The machine was a force to be reckoned with

Now, even though it was small, it sure was mighty.

The mini excavator successfully completed the first dig and, as a bonus, was super quiet.

Next, the bucket was swapped so he could dig a trench, and after 45 mins, it was done, with the machine handling all the hard work that would have proved strenuous for the YouTuber.

The EV mini excavator was a top choice due to the cheaper running costs and simple system.

The quieter operating sounds proved to be a nice change from large diesel machines.

Providing as much as six to seven hours of work time per charge, the mini machine was convenient, cheap, and powerful.

Seriously, what else could you ask for?

So the mini excavator was a win for the YouTuber, and the finished product shows that first impressions aren’t always accurate.
