What is the best 4x4 cube this year in your opinion?

Mini Wuque M
Moyu Aosu M
Valk 4 M
Other (reply with the cube)

The cubes listed are just the best in my opinion. That is why I added "other" option.

 

[Astral cubing]

When you say aosu do you mean v1 or v2?

 

[SM cubing]

i think the yusu v2 m can be amazing if you set it up properly, although i like the aosu more personally

is the yuxin little magic line worth buying? for the bigger cubes at least, i just want to make cutoffs for 567 that's all. They are like the only budget magnetic big cubes i can actually afford, the rest would be flagships which aren't worth it for me.

The Yuxin Kylin V2 M is a very nice budget / mid-priced 3x3. It is stable, sturdy and with very strong magnets gives very tactile feedback. I'm not sure about the magnet strength (I have yet to measure it) but I would put it as slightly weaker than the ShengShou Mr. M. The tiles are a nice balance between the durability of a stickerless puzzle and the recognition of a stickered puzzle, with the slight increase in grip that tiles bring to the edges.
I have quite a few high-end puzzles and I use the Kylin for about an hour a day on the train to work as it is also very quiet. Additionally, the puzzle doesn't seem to need a lot of lube to operate smootly and actually doesn't seem to change much when lube is applied, although a core lube will aid the smoothness and durability of the puzzle.
The only bad thing about the Kylin V2 M is that it has plastic washers for the springs to rest on and they are a very unusual size, which makes replacing them difficult.[/QUOTE/] I think I said this but if I didn't I have a yj Yulong and I've heard the kylin and the mr m are similar rating to the Yulong, but not as good.

Yes. You may refer to the Speed Cubes Recommendation List here.

I haven't been in the field for a while and now I want to be back yet I don't know anything about new cubes and brands. What can u suggest me for 3x3 cubes. I'm sub13.

 

[Cubingcubecuber]

order of how good they are within the price categories

If you are on a budget- Cheap- MGCv2 M, Yulong V2 M, Kylin V2 M, MF3RS3M, Little Magic M

If you want a good cube, and don’t want to spend all your money on the best on the market- Good- Gan 354 M, Yuexiao Pro M, Tengyun M, GTS2M, GTS3M, Valk M, Valk Power M, MF3RS2M,

The best cubes on the market, perfect in every aspect- Great- Yuxin Huanglong M, Gan X, Weilong Wrm

This is all my opinion, so it might not be true for you

If you are in the USA, get cubes from the cubicle.com, cubedepotusa.com, or speedubeshop.com

Omg, I didn't know that prices had been changed this much. 55$ for Gan. Thank you for your suggestions, I'll be looking for all of them

I agree with Cubingcubecuber.

Speedcubes can be split into three categories. Budget, Great and Expert. I'd say you'd be best getting a cube in the Great or Expert category. A magnetic cube would probably be best. Check out the link below, as well as watching Speedcubereview's and other cubing Youtuber reviews on the cubes before purchasing. However, a cube that works for one person may not be the best cube for you.

In terms of where to buy, if you don't mind waiting a couple of weeks for your cubes but they cost a fraction of the price, try cubezz.com
Their cubes are much cheaper than any other store and their service is excellent. Not to forget they have free international shipping. I would definitely recommend checking it out. I have bought several cubes from this store and they are very reliable.

Glad to have a former cuber returning to the community.

I recently started Cubing a few days ago... I have solved a few times but not very fast... the Rubik’s cube I have is really slow and annoying, so I was looking to upgrade... I am willing to pay $20 on Amazon Canada... I have been looking at the Yuxin little Magic and MF3RS2... I am scared to get the little magic as I am worried it will be to fast and feel flimsy... Iwhich cube would you recommend?? I also don’t want to have to adjust or lube anything... I want it good out of the box. Preferably sticker less

 

[Iwannaganx]

i have a yj yulong and its pretty good. ive heard the yuxin is great but idk

 

[GAN 356 X]

I would definitely choose from one of those two or a Yj yulong or Yuxin kylin. just don't get a Qiyi warrior w

 

[Iwannaganx]

yes qiyi cubes are not good!!

also, use cancube.ca

 

[GAN 356 X]

yj mgc is also very good
