don't buy QJ's ones, they are good at beginnning, but after 4 solves,they sux.
buy a Shengshou, or maybe a Dayan-Mf8 if you like big cubes

I've got a Dayan and when got it it didn't pop too much at all and I was happy. Now it pops a lot more and not just edges. Mine pops centers as well. This cube is also HUGE. My LL algs seem to take forever because I can't finger trick through most of them and I don't have tiny hands. I plan on getting a ShenShou in my next order and an X-Cube when it comes out.

I just finished an Ao50 on my Dayan though and it wasn't popping too much. I think I just got a feel for it's size finally which helped in LL algs a ton. Either way if you're used to a tiny 4x4 the Dayan is just to much cube to handle after the transition. I still plan on trying a ShenShou and getting an X-Cube in the end. My cube could also use a good cleaning which I'll have to do some other time since it's 4 am here.

I just got mine in the mail today. It sucks. Like a crappy maru that locks up constantly. It came prelubed, but I'll try squirting some Jig-a-loo or CRC in it and post an update.

I find the Shengshou 4x4 is not bad, but I really don't like the feel of the cube. It feels rather flimsy, partially because of the slightly wobbly/loose centers. The outer layers are clicky, I don't know if this is good or not. The inner layers aren't bad, but overall, I much prefer my Maru over the Shengshou 4x4.

ShengShou 4x4:
The inner layers have a smoothness that a Maru can't beat. Although the outer layers have a very faint clicking feel, you don't notice it when speedsolving. The core has not come out of alignment for me yet; my Maru hasn't either. The ShengShou 4x4 is very fluent with fingertricks and turning. Cornercutting is the same as the Maru. The ShengShou is my top recommendation for 4x4s.

i got this cube and i absolutely hate it, my rubiks brand is almost as good as it. the inner mech gets out of alignment slightly and makes me lockup and sometimes even pop. and pops on this cube are not anything like the simple v-cube 7 center piece pops, its more like 3x3 edge and corners popping out, except that the edge is the inner mechanism pieces and half the cube falls apart and i even tried tightening it but then i have even bigger lockups with the outer layers. i would not advise to get this cube because its just not that good. if i were to compare what the pieces look like i would say its modded v-cube mech with corners that look like mini guhong corners:
the yellow part is the part that reminded me most of guhong but also (obviously) the corner stalk

The Sheng shou 4x4 is really great, with a v-cube mechanism. Two of the "wing" pieces are built in to the core, and somehow the mechanism never, ever gets out of alignment. Right out of the box, it is tensioned kind of loose, and it locks up every 2 solves, but I tightened it and now its great. Silicone does not make any difference, I think that they put in some beforehand. A great cube, especially if you do not want to spend all the money on a Maru.
