They're all pretty similar. However, quality wise, THIS is superior.

Which brand is it?

 

[James Ludlow]

Skewb - Lan Lan or QJ?

 

[theace]

The LanLan is good. Or so I'm told. I've bought one. Lets see...

Please, recommend me a 4x4 cube for speedcubing and comfortable cubing without pops. Now I have a QJ mini, but i dissatisfied with it. And 5x5 also.

For 4x4, shengshou is very good for beginners.
5x5, v-cube is the best, but pretty expensive.

Thanks a lot, think i will buy shengshou, v-cube has to wait when the money will appear xD

Should I get a lubix ultimate guhong or an mf8 legend?(already have a regular guhong)

Even a regular GuHong is better than the Legend IMO.
The Legend is too much of a mixed bag for my taste. Although it is fast, it overturns (Eastsheen 2x2 comes to mind) and will slow down on the ball core if you hold the cube too firmly at any given time. You can actually feel the parts slowing down on the ball core if your grip is not light enough.
If you're perfectly light handed all the time then it's very good. The Legend tends to put a smile on my face and then conjure up a dissatisfied frown during every other solve.
Will try to do a vid review soon. Which would be my first...

Which mini 3x3 cube is best all round? Looking for something 40mm or less.

 

[Mikon]

A QJ Crystal Pyraminx or a Meffert's?
I don't care much about the price, but the quality of the puzzle.

 

[danthecuber]

Thanks for the advice. I just bought a Dayan+MF8 and an X-Cube. I am willing to tune the x-cube to greatness.

I like my friend's mini Maru, I hated my other friend's Rubik's mini (it broke really fast).
In my opinion, as they are so small, you can only practice algs on it, so it doesn't need speed or corner cutting...

 

[Linalai66]

Get a guhong
i think it is pretty smooth and fast doesnt lock up
my guhong's best corner cut is 47 degrees

Are the DaYan and the MF8 4x4x4s too?

 

[theace]

The Meffert'swould be the best if money isn't an issue

 

[Godmil]

Not sure if this is what you're asking but the Dayan+Mf8 is one cube: Link

1. What is the least poppable and least breakable 4x4? I have broken 1 Rubik's and 2 QJs so far, and I'm looking to get one that's fairly durable.
2. Is the Shengshou 4x4 any good? It is certainly the cheapest.

1. X-Cube if you can get ur hands on it, if not shengshou.
2. Yes, if u spend time on it. I recommend this mod: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKDGsQZD5Wc
make sure u dont scrape down too much or it will start popping.
