[Review] Moyu AoShi WRM 6x6 - WOW (Update, a few months later)

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

This 6x6, is one of the best ones out there ( in my opinion, that is )
It is extremely fast ootb, and after setup it turns great!!
My only complaint is the frosted plastic, but its not even that bad.

I will dive deeper into this review and post my setup after a while, I'm currently a little busy

AoShi WRM 6x6... where to begin?
I was very anxious to receive this puzzle. While eager, I sensed that there was a possibility that it didn't turn great for me and I would regret it. Well, that went out the window real quick.
Lemme start off by saying the puzzle is somewhat loose ootb. I had a tough time controlling it right away. I set up this cube with DNM-37, Mystic, and Weight 5 on the tracks. I also tightened it about a quarter turn and evened the tensions.
This, by farrrrrrr, is the BEST 6x6 money can buy. No, its not as fast as the MGC in terms of raw speed. During solves though, and especially parity, this cube trumps all.
The price shouldn't worry you too much. Even if you are on a budget, save up for this one. It is a much better investment.

NOW what you really need is for
Moyu to make a TROMBONE, am I right?

Coz then it would be smaller lighter faster easier to use
while still getting the same job done but better

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

Have you gotten any pops yet?

Have you gotten any pops yet?

A center piece cap came off in the initial testing, but no pops or anything of the sort simce

Nah, it would be overpriced and there would be a million options

The Trombone V9 Maglev Core with Cyan Internal Pieces

Haha you're thinking if the GAN Trombone

The Moyu Trombone is *A Lot* better
It doesn't even have adjuatable magnets

I haven't had any weird center-piece cap action on my Aoshi WRM like you mentioned (and you could still officially finish a counting solve in that state)

I've had only one pop in like 3+ months, and it happened one day when I was experimenting with fairly loose tensions
AND it happened during scrambling lol

I consider the AoShi WRM 6x6x6 to be my second best cube to my Tornado Pioneer V3. Better than any other size cube I have 2-7. It's absolutely astonishing how nicely it turns. I can't believe they managed to do this with a 6x6x6 - I always figured there would never be a good 6x6x6.

Funny how we were once so amazed by how good the V-Cube 6x6x6 was (despite it being awful). For the time, it seemed impossibly good. (Expectations were low.)

Yes 6x6 hardware is near perfect now,

size small, magnetized, no pops ever, 10+ TPS possible. slice moves effortless, stability is over the roof.

Well, it has been a few months...
Let me tell you how well it's broken in


This cube broke in pretty well after only doing around 50 solves on it. I removed the logo and just solved a ton on it. The frosted plastic has actually worn down and now it is somewhat glossy.

The inner layers still feel kinda sandy, which is a really good thing. It's super satisfying to turn and algs are easy to execute.

Corner cutting is fantastic and the speed is great. I haven't had to clean it since I set it up for the first time.

Peace out, see ya!
