I LOVE This Cube, but sometimes it gets some pretty brutal lockups and pops. I tightened it up, but I still got some lockups, but the pops stopped and I had to sacrifice some of the turning capabilities. I realized, WAIT! I CAN PUT LUBE IN THIS! That was all it needed out of the box. I doubt that you're still reading this, so I'm just going to type some random things right now so you can spend more and more time reading this, While wondering why your still here, reading a review on a 7x7 Rubik's cube from some YouTuber in Canada. But anyways, Great cube.

This cube is very smooth. For a $20 cube, I was expecting a bad cube, but it is very good. I would recommend for anyone who is looking to get into 7x7

Other than the corner cutting, which causes catches and lockups, this cube is amazing and perfect for beginners.

Maybe not up to the same level as your Yuxin or your QIYI but for non speed solvers the price more than makes up for it. If you aren't planning on timing yourself and just want a great puzzle to solve, look no further the differences in the high end puzzles (i have both the yuxin and QIYI) only really get displayed when speed solving.

TLDR: Great cube, if you aren't speed solving and just looking to try a 7x7, look no further than this one ;)

Better than my full size Shengshou, very fast, but locks up
