What 3x3 should I get?

Ok so I've had my RS3M 2020 for about 1 year and a half now, and I just feel like it's time for a new cube. Which one should I get? Budget is $20. I'm also looking for one specifically for 3BLD, same budget. Also unrelated, but how long does lube last (like in its container)?

For 3x3 I've heard good things on the Guhong pro standard (maglev is also fine): https://speedcubeshop.com/products/...2&_sid=ff1b9dfca&_ss=r&variant=40241160585329
I'm not sure how good it is for bld.

For lube I've had 5 ml of lunar and martian each for 1.5 years. I have used around half of each.

tornado v3 is $19.99 on amazon right now with free next day shipping. Never tried it myself, but I like the v2, and the 3 is supposed to be the best cube of last year.

Wrm 2021 (non maglev) is $23 on SCS i main the maglev version. wrm is super smooth and I'm learning bld on it.

I used to main the TV3, it is a great cube. (I had the flagship) I am not sure about ordering cubes off of amazon as I do not have experience with it, but I would beware of possible non-cubers selling cubes.(Not sure if this happens but I feel like it does for some reason)

Also the seller sells elephant related items as most of their products, so not really sure what that is about

The Tengyun v1 is the second most popular cube for bld. It’s a bit over budget though

As long as it says prime on it, they have it at their warehouse. I bought the cheapest wrm 2021 maglev I could find on amazon, and it came with everything. So far I've bought some cubing stuff from amazon, and nothing bad has happened.

For blind, The Tengyun is a very popular cube. It's really quiet (which I like). I can also recommend the GTS3M (Which is $10 more expensive). It is used by top blind solvers. The GTS3 is a bit old (2018) but it still holds up. If you are just starting 3BLD, just get a popular cube (Like the YS3M or some WeiLong) and just remove the logo.
 
The RS3 is probably the best budget cube for BLD, and the guhong pro is great(Like Arcanist said). I personally use it for OH as I have the 54, but I would advise against getting the the 56 as many say it is too big.(The 54 and 55 are great though)

Typically Moyu cubes are good for BLD
Sorry that I'm responding way after you posted this but I was thinking about it and when I looked it up it said the RS3M 2020 that I use is 56 mm? So do you think getting a smaller one will screw me up or something?

I don't think it is a huge issue. I was typically using 56 mm cubes (gan 356m and rs3m) and when I used the yuxin little magic which is 55mm I didn't even notice until I started doing OH

I honestly do not notice a size difference when turning(RS3 vs 54 guhong pro), but some people may notice a small one.

(Also np about being late lol)
 
Ok I think I'm probably going to get the Dayan Guhong, not sure if it'll be good for BLD but I'll try it out and can always just stick to my RS3M if it's better. Not sure what size to get yet though
I recommend the 54, I don't notice much of a difference in size compared to 56 mm cubes, and it performs really well.

I have also heard it said(I forgot where) that it seems like Dayan designed the cube centered around the 54 mm, and sied it up later to make the 55 and 56.

I would suggest the 54, but the 55 is just as good(from what I have heard), but many say the 56 is too big.

Edit: Also the standard and maglev are virtually identical, other than price. I find that the standard is very fast anyway.
