ShengEn (Sheng En) FII F2 3x3 Speed Cube White

This is a great cube right out of the box, I didn't even need to lubricate it (seeing as it was my first speed cube). The only problems I have had are that if you drop it, all of the tiles just shoot right off of it, and if it is scrambled, it takes about 30 minutes to put back together. I first had to solve what I could solve, then whatever was missing, try to put the tiles back in the correct spots.Out of box, it is a great cube, but I would recommend gluing the tiles on first.

I ordered two of these so my kids could race with them. They turn nicely but fall apart continually. One was worse than the other, and I had read other reviews that said they fell apart less with more use, but they are still consistently and constantly falling apart. Even after tightening the screws they still are not great. We have tightened the screws two or three times in order to keep them from falling apart, but then they don't spin as quickly. The stickers also show a lot of wear after just a bit of use. They fade so quickly that it is hard to tell which color is which. I would not recommend these at all. I would return them, but not sure it is worth the hassle. Guess I'll keep looking for a faster, good 3x3.

This is a great cube if you need a cheap one to get away from the Rubik's brand. However, it falls apart very easily and the stickers aren't very durable. Where most of this can be helped (not remedied) with tensioning, I'd suggest to get a Moyu cube instead.

I bought this cube as a gift on the basis of other Amazon reviews that say it is more durable than other Rubiks cubes. When I discovered that the instructions were in Chinese (I believe), I got online and to print out a couple sets of instructions in English. I haven't yet heard from the recipients how they like it.

This cube is what I have been trying to find. It allows me to solve the cube faster than a traditional Rubik's cube. I also enjoy the fact that it comes pre-lubed and pre sanded. I would recommend this to the cube solving enthusiasts.
