2x2x2 Cube
Contain a screw-spring structure (which is uncommon in 2x2's), so they can actually cut corners really well. However, they are said not to turn as well as a well broken in Eastsheen 2x2x2.

3x3x3 Cube
Also called the 'Maru DIY'. Comes in a range of colours, and is reported to have smooth turning. Out of the box, this cube seems to be nothing special, but once lubed with the special Maru lubricant, it will quickly become an amazing speedcube.

4x4x4 Cube
Known for its amasing corner cutting this Maru 4x4 is rarely found in common online stores. It has a screw/spring structure like all maru cubes and it is superior at corner cutting. It outperformes most 4x4 today such as the rubiks brand, eastsheen and possibly the merfferts brand from people's opinion. It has minimal pops and lockups but disassembly is not recommended because the assembly of this item can be very tedious.

Mini 3x3x3
A very small cube measuring 30mm each side. It is reported by many to be too small for speedcubing, but may suit cubers with very small hands. Small enough to fit comfortably in a pocket, making it ideal as a travel cube. The cube its self is fairly good quality considering its size, with smooth turning and good resistance to pops.
