Which 4x4 is the best? pros and cons...

[Beatlecube]

Which 4x4 is the best out of LanLan, Qj, Qj mini, eastsheen, yj, mefferts, or dayan? And what are the pros and cons.

I don't have enough experience to answer, but you should have looked at recent such threads. Even if those were unsatisfactory, this thread really should have a poll.

I know it would not let me set a poll for some reason, and i did search to find one but I was not happy with this results.

Lanlan
Just another QJ I guess
Locks up

QJ
Very smooth, requires breaking in, no popping. In other words, way better than Rubik's
Can overshoot, bulky

QJ Mini
Fits in one hands easily, pretty much same quality as QJ

Eastsheen
Small, to fit ones hands easily, no popping, adjustable
Locky, and a pain to assemble requiring a stand

YJ
Speedy, smooth, excellent corner cutting, adjustable, comes partially premodded, and hardly locks up
Knock Off, requires a mod if you're willing to stop the misalignment, and the pops aren't pleasing

Mefferts
See QJ

Dayan+Mf8
Okay with speed I guess. I only tried one once.
Known to pop, pretty damn big

I can't review LanLan because I don't have this.
Same case with Dayan+mf8, but some people says that the cube has a good cut corner and good gliding speed. They also sat that this cube is damn big and pops too much.

QJ are stiff out of the box but it will get better in some use, the quality will decreases in sometimes. And it hardly cuts corner and locks up also too big.
Mini QJ are like QJ but smaller, so it's fits on your hand nicer. Some peoples say that this cube has a higher quality plastic. But, correct me if I am wrong.
Eastsheen were released very long time ago, but it is used to be the best in around 2007s. But it is outdated now as there is new 4x4s coming out.
YJ 1st Gen are just Eastsheen, but it is cheaper and has a worse plastic quality.
YJ 2nd Gen uses the V-mech, It can cut corner. But, it misaligned sometimes. You have to mod it up. It have a fair lock up.
Mefferts are big, they lock up and mostly like QJ.
Maru are like using hybrid like Eastsheen and v-cube, It's like 66% of V Cubes and the rest is Eastsheen. It will not misalign when it is new. But will misalign after it gets too loose which is after months. You an fix it by adjusting the tension. These cubes are hard to assemble. The gliding is kind of like an Alpha/Type-A. It has a good cut corner too.

Conclusion : Maru > Mini QJ > Meffert, QJ > YJ 2nd > Eastsheeen, YJ 1st

I will edit this post after I get a Dayan+Mf8 4x4.
