[Video] My review on the Dayan Lun Hui and Zhan Chi (BAD LANGUAGE)

This is more of a summary of the five Dayans, but I give a little more in depth opinion of the last two. Sit back and enjoy as it builds up to it's climactic ending, hahaha.

I purchased it 1,5 months ago from Puzzleaddictions. I thought it will be good cube for OH, but also for TH.
It's quite nice, it can't cut corners like zhanchi but it's very fast. It needs a lot or break-in. Cube pops very rarely - thanks to corners building.
It's actually my 1st cube for OH and 3rd for TH.
 
It's average compared to all 3x3's and below average when compared to other Dayan 3x3's
Where it was purchased: N/A
When it was released: Spring 2011
My thoughts: I give it an average because it doesn't have a very wide rage of possible tensions even when compared to older generation 3x3's. It might even explode (more than simple popping) with a medium tension. Once it is sufficiently tight to not explode it does turn very quickly. If you have a soft turning style you might make this your main TH&OH cube.
 
Got it off amazon. I got it a few months ago. It's a bit sluggish compared to other dayan cubes, but still better than your average cube.
 
Where the puzzle was purchased: zcube.cn
When the puzzle was purchased: ~23th February
Thoughts on the puzzle: At first impression it was perfect, but after a couple of solves it started to not just pop, but explode. Tensions need to be paid attention to. It is 1mm smaller than a Guhong or a Zhanchi, but it's definitely noticeable when solving, and it's a little pleasant for me. Turning wise it's not as weightless as a Guhong, but still much lighter than a Lingyun. It's pretty crispy, but not clicky. Somewhere between a Guhong and a Zhanchi.
 
This is my review on the Dayan Lunhui.

I got this of the cubicle around August.

Turning: the cube is smooth with a slight scratchy/sandy feeling. It also feels blocky to me.

Corner cutting: the cube can cut 45 with some force and line to line fairly easily. Reverse is some of the best I've seen at 3/4 of a cubie
with a bit of force. however, the corner cutting is very snappy and doesn't corner cut as easily as other cubes 3 of 5

Pops: The Lunhui can pop at loser tension and when it does its usually 3 pieces, an edge and two corners.
its usually caused by cutting over 45 and tightening to medium or tight tensions resolves much of the poping. 4 of 5

Cathces: as for catching, this cube does catch on me due to the holes on the pieces being smaller than on other more recent cubes, causing
a catch. This isn't severe, but is one of the cubes downfalls 3 of 5

Speed: this cube has good speed though isn't the fastest by any means. I have lubricated it with weight 3 from the Cubicle. 4 of 5

Control: as a 22 second solver I have little trouble controlling this cube and had good control on this cube when i average 35. 5 of 5

Other Pros/Cons: It does not corner twist, the caps have never fell of on me during a solve, but stickers are very dull.
Its most interesting feature is that you can pull out the corners a bit due to the design and have the corners stick out and 3 of 5
will still work. one of the screws is striped on mine :(

final score: 22 of 30 Grade: B- Recommendation: maybe

I am not a fan of this cube and average 2 seconds slower on this than my main. This could be an option for someone who averages 20-40 seconds,
likes a smooth yet slightly sandy feel, is fairly accurate, and has a gentle turning style, or someone just wanting to complete their Dayan collection.

Overall, not a bad cube, but not my kind of cube.
