A rather decent cube. I left out reliability because I have not owned it for long enough. Locks up are some what rare, but when you do get the much harder ones to fix, it can take a good 6 seconds to fix.

[cincyaviation]

DaYan cube
Smoothness/Speed:9 i cannot see how any cube could be faster
Lockup Resistance:8 Hardly ever locks up, but it is possible
Cutting Corners:7 just barely worse than a type F, barely
Pop Resistance:8 pops maybe once per 20 solves, if its loose, if its tight, it is literally impossible to pop without breaking it
Quietness:2 very loud
Reliability:8.5 very trustworthy, you know what your getting, unlike the C
Overall:8.7 Its a great cube, it could be better, but i firmly believe for an accurate turner it is the best cube, and its still very nice for an innacurate turner

I, personally LOVE the size.

Though it's probably because I have small hands.

How large are your hands?

I've been exclusively using this cube for all speedsolving recently, and I tried turning my regular 3x3,

It felt like a GIANT

Sum Up

Well, no ratings from me but one thought:

Wouldn't a sum up of all ratings - as an edit of the first initial post - be a very neat thing? One that lists all the mentioned cubes with an average of all the ratings?

At least I would really appreciate a sum up...

Eric

 

[Cride5]

I've done this up to post #95 ... see
http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?p=304939#post304939
And see the aggregated ratings in the initial post here:
http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15460
I should add the more recent ratings, but I haven't had a lot of time recently ... will try to do tonight...

Cheers for the reminder.

.. oh, and welcome to the forums!

 

[Eric79]

Thank you and - tank you for welcoming me.

Seems that before I missed seeing the addendum "x ratings" after the cubes name - sorry.
