 Steer clear of the Rubik's brand Rubik's cube! November 5, 2009
Wolfgang Jaeger (Pleasant Grove, UT USA)
If you are at all familiar with the larger rubik's cube, then it is no real shocker that the Rubik's brand is not the best option. These cubes are pretty expensive, but very poorly made. It is prone to break easily, but even if it doesn't, the motion is not smooth at all. The stickers will wear out with a solid week's worth of play.
Your best bet is to track down an Eastsheen cube (best bet is on eBay) or to wait for V-cubes to release their version.
If you are already stuck with one though, replace the stickers at [...] and browse online for a cube-lube (again, eBay is a pretty reliable source), or even just a silicone-based lubricant. That ought to get you some decent use out of it.

this is a great buy and well worth the cheaper price however this cube requires some disassembly to lubricate the tougher to move faces after that mine seems to turn better than my 3x3 and cut down solving times by 40% other than the occasional dislocating piece its well worth the price and is ideal for people who want a bigger challenge than the 3x3
 It's a good 4x4. October 3, 2009

It's hard to move at first, but after you lubricate it, it moves almost flawlessly. (=. The stickers are already peeling, but from experience pretty much all 4x4's stickers are like that.
Disappointed September 6, 2009

After thoroughly enjoying the 3X3, I thought my family would like the 4X4, but it falls apart very easily and won't stay together...kind of difficult as you twist it and try to solve it.
Good Mind-game, Bad Quality August 20, 2009
B. Ezawa (Clinton, NJ USA)
A 4x4 is quite more interesting than a 3x3. This particular cube falls apart before the stickers would peel, as in my case. The inner workings of the cube are loose and jam easily. So if you have much patience and a lot of time, this cube would be fine. However, if you wish for a better quality one, I have heard that Meffert's are quite good, although not currently being sold on Amazon.
