Hi.

Here's my review of the AoFu. In short, I think it's a good cube, but not miles better (or worse) than a ShengShou.


Pros:
+ good corner cutting
+ fast
+ smooth/crisp feel
+ good size

Cons:
- locks up/catches, especially during 3x3 stage
- can pop, especially on looser tensions
- I personally don't like pillowed shape

I lubed it with 20wt shock oil after wiping off the factory lube. Seems to work well.


Note: Tophu told me it was okay to make a new thread. Sorry if this is not the case.

Thanks for this!
I was planning on getting one, but now I'm not so sure - my turning style isn't great so i'd probably just end up popping it all the time... And I'm yet to see a fast solver who has particularly enjoyed the cube >.<
Also thanks for alerting to the problems with the core, I imagine this will help a lot of people :)
