42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator.
It is physically very large. Larger than basically all cats and a lot of dogs. My daughter was 3 1/2 when I got it and it wasn't much smaller than she was then.
I've assembled and disassembled it several times. I think it takes 8-10 hours to get it together and not much less to take it apart. You really have to follow the instructions in reverse to get it broken down, and the pins make my fingers quite sore if I don't take it in stages.
The linked review is correct that the mechanics somewhat overtax the single motor, but I find the design so impressive that it doesn't matter.
This was the last "flagship" Technic set I ever bought. We don't have space in the house for more plastic toys this size, and I don't love the fact that the huge ones tend to be app controlled now. But I think this was a pretty high note to go out on.
