Anyone have a Maru 4x4 review?

[NanoCuber]

Hi guys!
I have just been wondering whether to get the Maru 4x4 or a YJ 4x4.
As I have seen a couple of solves here lately with the Maru and was wondering if that was one of the new better 4x4's.
I have been using my Black Full size QJ alot and it is just too lose now.
So I need to get a new cube, but just not sure which.
So If someone can do a review on it, that would be good thanks. Just so I can get some idea.

It's smaller than a regular QJ but bigger than a Mini. So put those two together and you can get an estimated height.

I thought the title implied that this was a review of the Maru.
I was disappointed.

but I demonstrated the gliding and cut corner ability, so I hope it helps.

Thread title trolled me.

Got mine yesterday! Compared with the old rubiks.com version it turns like a charm. I cannot compare with other recent versions like QJ, LanLan etc ... I like the size!

it's been like that lately.
Thread title: How to (insert something that everyone has been keen for)
People:OMG, FINALLY! *looks*...Wow. Just another person asking a question.
Can't they at least add a QUESTION MARK?? That way we know it's a question, and not a teaser on a How-to.

Seriously? This? I thought it was gonna be an actual review.

Word on the street is Maru is the best, but it's also a lot more expensive. I don't know as I don't have a single 4x4.

What street would this be?

hi Per,

I still prefer the meffert's version...I don't think maru works very well for centers swapping =P hehe

i don't have any of them but maru is definitely better than Yj

Wait wait wait, hold the train.

Are you judging the quality of certain cubes are comparing them with no source?
This really needs this:

Actually it does. And that only with slight lubing. I believe breaking it in properly would make a near perfect 4x4x4. I dont need "velvetlike" inner layers as i don't do fingertricks on those layers anyway

it's like, because some pieces are not covered up, they do catch up...and when I do slice moves very fast I can't do it in a smooth flow at that speed as I was able to do with my now-broken mefferts. maybe I should give it some time...and lube. HAHA
