Wow, This is the 5x5 which did not seem possible. Imagine a MoYu 5x5 that has had a few hundred solves, taken apart, cleaned, and then lubed with Maru. This is not only a great competitor to MoYu, it may be the best on the market. With the cube being around half the price it is hard to not recommend this one.

This 5x5 is probably the best on the market right now! has good corner cutting for a 5x5, is super fast even when the lube dries out, never pops, and never corner twists. This cube does lock occasionally, but the locking depends on your turning style. Whether you are a new cuber or an old one, the Yuxin 5x5 is a good 5x5 to have.

It's super fast out of the box even, and this only gets better after setting it up and breaking it in.
Very few lockups, and the ones that do occur are generally caused by inaccurate turns. Corner cutting could be better, but it's still a 5x5 and you can only expect so much. The one negative to this cube is the same downfall of every other 5x5. The pop that occurs when trying to cut a corner to far forwards is an issue. The cube doesn't explode ever and pieces don't come out even, but the lockup does take time to fix which can break the flow of solves. It's not hard to put the pieces back into alignment by any means, just annoying.

Out of the box this has a somewhat sandy feel that goes away after about 20 turns. Then, it has quite a smooth feeling. The corner cutting is about one piece. Reverse is about an 1/4 cubie. Overall, if you are looking for a first 5x5, i don't recommend it. Then you should go with Shengshou. How ever, if you do 5x5 then defiantly get it.

Out of the box the Yuxin 5x5 is REALLY fast. Unlike the Moyu 5x5 which sucks out of the box. However, the speed sometimes causes lock ups which at times can be as bad as the aochuang.
However, lock ups and small catches can be easily fixed with a dab of lube.
Corner cutting is good and the cube never pops nor corner twists.
Overall, it is a great cube and I highly recommend it
