Shameful quality - Complete Waste of Money July 2, 2009 B. Flamenco (San Francisco, California United States) I hate writing reviews.. but this product is so seriously bad.. that I don't want another person to waste their money. I bought 2 of these for my husband and myself... they broke within days!! one the next the other 2 days later.. I ended up ordering them again from a professional speed-cubing company located in Germany (Cubikon) .. I am so disappointed that companies can get away with selling such a bad quality product and stealing from consumers. I am out 40 dollars.. Nobody cares.. and life is to short for me to pursue this any further..
I am only writing this so you don't make the mistake I made.. I did not listen to the reviews here either
Don't bother... June 20, 2009 J. Denson (Plainville, MA USA) With the resurgance of the Rubik's cube over the past several years, it brought me back and with kids elementary and high school age I wanted to re-experience the fun of 25 years ago with the new generation so I purchased some Rubik's brand cubes. 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 to share with my kids. They have been a lot of fun. The Rubik's 3x3 is just as I remembered it. A bit stiff at first but with time (and a little silicon lubricant) it loosens up nicely. My 11 year old has already mastered that one! The 4x4 is a real disappointment though. Very sticky and jams up a lot, even with a liberal dose of silicon lubricant. Also, the 4x4 is very prone to popping cubies when you go too fast. Simply put, the Rubik's brand 4x4 makes me tired. The Rubik's 5x5 performs better. In my opinion, don't waste your money on the Rubik's brand 4x4. Instead, get a much better value from purchasing an Eastsheen 4x4.
4x4x4 Rubiks cube May 30, 2009 Bennie solsano (Los Angeles, CA USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The 4x4x4 Rubik's cube is very hard to turn, locks up a lot, and pops a lot, too.
What am i saying ??
Well, it's very hard to turn. If you would like to lubricate it with silicone it doesn't make it any better.
It locks up a lot - meaning that it gets stuck. You cant turn the layer anymore. You have to twist back or twist other layers to get it back to work. This cube is NOT recommended for speed cubing.
It pops , A LOT. The piece come off all the time. I didn't have one solve where one piece didn't come off.
I recommend this cube for beginners. Those who never had any experience with a 4x4. But i do not recommend it to those who want to solve it fast or are annoyed by the lockups [ every second turn it locks up ] and pops [ it pops when you have a lockup and accidentally pushed too hard or you're turning the layers very fast ]
i dont know how you can say this isnt durable! April 26, 2009 Margaret Kennedy I've had my cube for about two months now, and absolutely nothing is wrong with it! it's in perfect condition, and none of the stickers are peeling. however, i received it in different packaging (the hexagonal clear plastic one) there was no hint book with it, but that's ok. i guess most of the other reviewers must have gotten lemon cubes or something...
Carter April 3, 2009 Gerald Carter (Lawton, Oklahoma) The toy came at a great time and it was complete. I like my rubiks cubes to add to my collection.
