Hey Everybody, I ordered my Guanpo and i just got it yesterday. It turned amazing, to fast in my opinion, and it had the bumpy, hard plastic feeling of the Guanlong. Its scratchiness dissapeared after a couple of solves, and after tensioning, it felt nice. It popped wing pieces twice already, and putting it back was a pain. I had to loosen three screws to pop it back, and all those tensioning caused another problem. The screw heads stripped. I can barely tension it now and i have to put alot of pressure on the screwdriver for it to turn. This damaged the threads on the core a bit, but only slightly. My overall verdict, 7/10. This cube is great for beginners and for people who dont tension too much. Unfortunatly for me, i am a tension perfectionist. Anyone else had a problem?

I do not own the Guanpo, but using the right size screwdriver will not strip the screws.
 
The same thing happened to me when the core pieces popped they were hard to put as hell, i dont do 2x2 that much but i can tell you that the Yj Guanpo is not even a beginner cube, i mind, i dont see why people think that beginners have to use bad cubes, a beginner can use a dayan 2x2, they can use a cubicle weipo, its just the same thing, but the guanpo is just horrible, so i do not recommend the guanpo for anyone.

Begginer cube because its cheap. Thats the whole point. Budget 2x2. The Guanpo is terrible, and i reccomend saving a couple of bucks and buying a better cube.
 
Yeah but my point is that beginners dont have to use cheap cubes, i learned how to solve a rubiks cube on the aolong v2 which is a very good cube.
 
Even if you can't afford something better... don't get the guanpo.

The YJ Yupo, Qiyi Cavs, and Yuxin 2x2 are only $2 or so more expensive and are far, far better puzzles. Search he couch cushions. Get an upgrade.
