The cube was really good out of the box, after putting some lube in and breaking it in, it became the best speedcube I've ever tried. Popped only once out of the 1000 times I've solved it. Perfect puzzle all around, pick it up now. I didn't need to change the springs either.

I came from a Rubik's brand 3x3 so at first this seemed really good. But after messing around with other cubes on the market, I saw that this was not the case. The speed is very average and corner cutting is slightly below what most cubes have now. I get locks frequently and have a pop probably once every 5 solves, but this may be due to my rough turning style. Overall I'd say this is a good cube to get into speedcubing with but after you get your times down a little more you should move to something else. I'd also like to say I've done 2000 solves on this as it was my main for a bit, but it just didn't compare to others.

Overall it is a very good cube for the price, the cube itself is very fast but not very slow either it is in between, corner cutting is past 45° with not much and reverse is about 1 piece with minimal effort stickers are mat and not the something we see on other cubes, corner twist does happend once per every 50 solve which is a drawback but if It didn't corner twist that much it whould have been perfect but overall I recommend it to anyone

This cube is very well made. The structure of each piece is very smooth without too many bells or whistles. The simple design makes setting up the cube easy. You should break in this cube in before lubing! The break in point is about 100-150 solves. The break in elinmanated the light scratch and OVER crunchy feeling that it possessed out of box. After breaking in and lubing, it possesses a very smooth feel with a subtle bump (which can feel like a small catch during solves), You may have heard that Maru soft springs improve the cube ALOT, but this is only necessary if the stock springs are terrible quality. I have multiple copies of this cube, and a good amount of them had terrible stock springs,until they were replaced with the Maru soft springs, which did improve it a decent amount. After stickering with fitted stickers from thecubicle.us, the cube has become my main. GET THIS CUBE!!!!
P.S. Do not get in stickerless! The only way to describe the stickerless shades is "disgusting" and "bad contrast"

This cube is actually pretty good for it's price. It corner cuts just like a gans (effortless reverse line to line and over 45). However, it still locks up like crazy from the weird points on the edges. It feels like a mix of a guanlong and an aolong v1. It is crispy, smooth, and bubbly. It does flex. It is a good cube to bring along places if you are too scared to bring your main because it is quiet and cheap. I really like this cube but if you already have a aolong, there is no need to buy it.

This cube is 9 us dollars at most stores. It is 57mm in size but feels smaller.It has a smooth and bumpy feel. The cube looks like a Gans puzzle and the pieces resemble an Aolong. The cube isn't very fast by still controllable.This cube corner twists often that is a major flaw with it. Pops do happen but not often.Overall I recommend this cube to most speedcubers I give it 5/5 stars.

This cube is very good who needs a controlled cube, but still has a smooth feel. It personally fits my turning style and is very good after lubing. Overall, I recommend this cube if you need a fast, but controlled cube and like slightly crunchy feel

The yuxin 3x3 is a fantastic cube out of the box except the loose tensions.The cube is fast but also stable and has got a crispy and scratchy feel to it. The corner cutting is about 50°-52°and the reverse is about 4/5 of a cubie. The pops on this cube is very rare as well as the lock ups.The only problem if this cube is the corner twists which occur in 20-25 solves. Overall the cube gets 9.9 out of 10.

First let me preface this by saying I would be giving this a 4.5 had that been an option. First of all out of the box this cube comes extremely loose and I found it unusable. Once I set it up the cube got much much better, it's speed is fast but still controllable, it's corner cutting is easily over 45 and line to line reverse.
Out of about 1000 solves I've had maybe 10-20 corner flips, with my cube on a rather tight tension, so that is one thing to be wary of, as the cube corner flips a bit more than average, there are obviously no popping issues with this cube. I would personally compare it to an aolong, as the turning is very similar; however I prefer this to an aolong as I feel this one has better speed for me (a 15-20 second silver) and does not lock up at all. Overall this cube is my main, and I prefer it over an aolong and even the new gans.

The yuxin zhisheng is a fantastic cube out of the box except the loose tensions which is not a problem at all. The cube has got a crispy and scratchy feel to it.The corner cutting on this cube is 50°-55° and the reverse is 4/5 of a cubie. The popping on this cube is very rare with no lock ups at all. The cube is fast with a stable structure and the edges has got triple torpedos. The only problem with it is the corner twisting which I get in every 20-25 solves.
Overall the cube gets a 9.9 out of 10.

When I purchased this cube I was not expecting to get much for $9 but I was surprised. When I opened the package after returning from a business trip I was laughing at the tensions. I would corner cut and the cube popped. I took the cube apart to see all tensions were hanging on by like 1-2 threads. When tensioning however although hard for me to find that "sweet spot" was surprised to find a set of washers pre installed. After about 80 or so solves I could say I liked the cube a lot. The factory lube was gummy but nice which gave the cube a buttery smooth feel. The cube is extremely fluent in that algorithms are much easier than my YJ Yulong. Now I've solved the cube maybe 100 or so times and have put together my thoughts.
--PROS--
Low price tag
Fluidity
Washers pre installed
Buttery smooth
60 degrees regular corner cutting and PAST a piece for reverse
Never received a pop
--CONS--
Lockups on the round center (but doesn't pop)
Average speed
Corner twists every 5 or so solves
Doesn't fit my hard turning style
Matte finish stickers
Dull shades
Very poor sticker quality (if you buy this cube have the intentions to replace your stickers)
For me the pros out way the cons but only slightly lastly I got this cube in white and even though I am a beginner cuber the white plastic has really interfered with my recognition; and gets dirty way to easily. I enjoy this cube a good deal and cannot wait to see how the industry and WCA records are changed by this company.

The Yuxin 3x3 is a pretty nice cube out of the box, but, after a few solves, it begins to be sluggish and very slow, which is his major problem. The corner cutting is a little bit over 45 degrees and reverse is a full cubie. Corner twists happen sometimes if you are rough while turning it.
I am a pretty rough turning speedcuber and I don't have any problems with lock ups or corners twists. Like I said before, it's only problem is the speed, but it can be fixed by putting Maru CX3 soft springs.

I've had no issues with locking in this cube, due to the exceptional corner cutting that it has. I've had minimal issues with popping, but that's only because I opted for tensions on the looser side, since I prefer faster cubes. That's also another topic, due to it's average speed it is a very controllable cube, which is a pro or a con depending on your preference. The only real problem I've had with this cube is corner twist, which happen around 2-4 times in an average of 100, which isn't much at all. Overall a very good cube. Has a very scratchy feeling that doesn't go away after breaking in, which i really enjoy. The stickers on this cube were pretty regular shades, but the material the stickers were made of gave it a weird feel and grip, which made me change the stickers to my shades from thecubicle.us.

The YuXin 3x3 was not the fastest out of the box. After breaking in, and lubing it, it made it extremely fast. For about the 10000 solves I did on it, I only got like 1 corner twist. My tensions are very loose, and the cube never pops. M-slices are very good too. Locking generally doesn't happen, and algorithms just flow. I would recommend this cube to just about anyone.

The cube was already amazing out of the box with over 50* corner cutting, and after lubing with cubicle weight 3 and maru lube it is amazing! I has FULL corner cutting, if it wont corner cut it with reverse corner cut with a very rare chance of a minimal lockup that is very quick to pop back in. This cube only pops if you are turning VERY rough (Like if a non - cuber trys to act fast....) The cube is very fast but can be sped up and slowed down very easily with different weights of lube. Overall this cube is absolutely amazing and if a must have for intermediate (<45 seconds) to the most advanced speed cubers. 9.989831/10

This cube cuts like a Gans 357, but moves like an AoLong. You would think this thing would be getting more praise. The odd shape of the pieces allows it to cut over 45 degrees easily, and reverse about 3/4 of a piece. It can catch a little bit, but nothing that would destroy a solve.
The cube does feel slightly bigger then even a regular 57mm cube, so if you are a fan of smaller cubes this one might feel huge. The only thing I would like to see is harder plastic used to speed up the puzzle a bit.

The Yuxin 3x3 is a rather new cube on the market. The cube's appearance resembles a Gans 357 while the internal mechanism looks most similar to an Aolong. It has a fast speed, and it corner cuts with minimal efforts. Reverse is very good.
There are not much locking, corner twists nor popping at default settings. There are "Knobs" which extend out of the piece and that produce a clicky feel. Other than that, this is a good cube, but is still not the best. Its feel is pretty great. If you have a main speedcube that you like, this cube is not so useful to you. If you are just starting speedcubing or you only have a dollar store/rubiks brand, this is worth getting.

A really good cube, awesome feeling, you just need to adjust a bit the tension to make it more controlable.
This cube beat my Aolong since the second day !

Very nice cube. The speed is alright. Not as fast as my broken in Aolong V2. Can cut 45. The feel is hard to explain. It's not gummy but it doesn't feel as slick as my Aolong V2
