best 4x4 cube?

my mini qj was worst . It locked up , overshooted waaaaaay too much . I used to break that in for like 4 months but it didn't helped a bit .
and it finally broke .
I don't recommend it .
 
I'll just quickly go over the 4x4's I've used.

Rubik's - No explanation needed

Mini QJ - Takes a few solves to break in. I remember it being amazing after that. However, after a while, it began to suck. It practically doesn't cut corners at all right now. The turning is still very smooth though. It probably also seemed worse after purchasing a Maru.

Maru - Absolutely amazing. Good at cutting corners. The centers even cut very well. The turn speed of my solves, especially the 3x3 stage, has gone way up. The few downsides of it would be assembly, smoothness, and misallignments. I've had one pop so far. One of the mini edge pieces fell into the cube and got lost in a black hole. I had to disassemble the entire cube and put it back together. Took forever! It isn't exactly that smooth, but isn't bad enough to really bother me. The corner cutting makes up for this. I got a core misallignment with my first Maru 4x4, which was pretty annoying. I got another Maru just for back-up, if this happens in competition for example. Now that cube always feels like it will happen again when doing double layer turns.

Maru would be good if it didn't misalign.

MiniQJ locks up and doesn't turn well enough.

Not tried dayan - inb4 it pops all the time.

ALL 4x4x4s SUCK
 
well i dont really like my miniQJ atm, and since i accidentaly broke my maru, dissasembled it and reassembled it it kinda sucks, weird lockups etc... i think im gonna get a new one along with the dayan and try em out.
 
Edison is just too hard to get and Ghost Hand 4x4x4 is good, but everybody says that the top two best brands are either Maru or Dayan.
Thawr...Thrawst made a really good review of the Maru, doing a little comparison with the Eastsheen.
And just for the record, Syuhei (7th in the world) is using, or at least appeard in his last videos, using a Dayan 4x4x4, so, it must be pretty good.

Just what I was thinking. This is why I want cubing to become popular.
If there's good money in making excellent cubes then it will happen quickly.

I've just ordered a YJ for $10 knowing I'm going to have put roughly 3 hours into modding and restickering it.
I earn about $20 an hour yet can't just buy an amazing 4x4x4 for $70. It sucks.
 
I Think the Eastsheen 4x4 cubes are really good, as I'm a pretty accurate turner, I don't need corner cutting really.
 
i still dont understand how the maru is KO of the as of date non existent V4

when if you look at the V4 patent designs it is way different than the maru

the marus corners are different the core is different and both of the hidden internal pieces are different

the only thing that is the same is the center and wings edges.

so maru cube is way different that the V4 in my opinion.
