What's the Best 3x3 Speedcube for You? -- Comparison of Major Speedcubes [video]

I'm slow... I like a cpm sanded, lubed stickerless zhanchi best over the weilong v2, aolong, shuanreng v2 at the moment.
One isn't any better than the other for me but I like the zhanchi once it is smooth and the clickiness is sanded away.
 
Once again, great video. And for those of you looking for an AoLong that is a bit slower and easier to control. The V2 is going to be your cube. That is my opinion at least.

Thank you!

Great info to have -- it'll be sure to help some people.
I've also ordered the AoLong v2, so an unboxing and review should be out on my channel soon!
 
Could a mod sticky this? I think this thread would be great to give beginners an overview of cubes! New cubes could also then be discussed in the thread.
I think this would be a great resource for the ever annoying question of what speedcube one should get. Thanks for your help!
 
I prefer the aurora personally. I find it to be very good and even after trying an aolong and a weilong I still like the feel of the aurora over these two and the Zhanchi (and it's really cheap but it's more of a feel thing). Though I would really like to try the liying because I hear it's got a crunchy feeling while still being fast. It's been said several times already that the current market is very diverse and there is plenty of room to find a cube that suits you best, and while this video sums up a lot of really good points excellently, it's good to remember that when picking your cube.
 
I posted a comment on your video already, but you should re-review the Gans III 57mm once you replace the core. The flimsyness gets almost completely eliminated.
 
It may be a bit late to comment, but better late than never. Your video isn't the best(Nice way of saying bad because mods ban). This is a review. It should be unbiased. The Aolong V1 is no way better than all the other cubes, it is not too fast for the slower solvers. I've used an Aolong since I averaged 28 seconds, and I've hated everything but the corner cutting. My Aolong recently broke and so I'm going to get a Weilong or something like that. Besides, now I average mid 15 and the Aolong V2 my friend has is just too slow. I am not trying to target you or anything. I'm just saying that personal opinions should be added at the end, and not ruling over the entire review.

I agree that no one cube can be a best, but videos like this really help new cubers compare cubes. This was a big help for me since I just started seriously cubing around the same time. Since it is a review there is obviously going to be bias. Reviews are subjective and I cannot think of a review for anything that isn't.

Also, I think saying that that Aolong V2 is "too slow" is just as silly and shows how there is bias in people's reviews. When many cubers have shown amazing times with the Aolong v2 it is your personal opinion that the cube is too slow.... which is perfectly fine since it is a review.

A very cheap and good cube is the YJ GuanLong.

http://www.championscubestore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2308

There's also the MoYu AoLong, Dayan Zhanchi, Gans III, and obviously many others.

This is why I prefer my parents to just give me money for puzzles instead of puzzles themselves. :p

If you want a very nice one, most people would say the MoYu AoLong V2 is currently one of the best and a good all around cube. I would go to TheCubicle.us. They have fast shipping and are based in the US. There is a discount code in my signature too.

A great review!

I found my Zhanchis far better than the Weilongs, although, I'm using Roux, which is heavily based on M moves. I think Zhanchi performs better on those moves.

Lol I actually found that my Weilong is better than various Zhanchis that i have tried on M slices. Just goes to show that cubes, even those of the same model, can perform differently.

Would you say it is better than the Moyu Weilong v2? Also, I am used to/need a cube at least nearly as fast as a weilong, so is it?

Most people prefer the Aolong V2 over the Weilong V2. If you want a fast turning cube, I would recommend the Moyu Hualong or the Fangshi Guangying.
P.S. / Disclaimer: I don't have any of these cubes, but I watch a lot of reviews.
