Much Better than the V4. More Quiet than the V4 and Corner Cutting is Way Better. Really Smooth out of the Box and With Lube it made it Way Faster. It's Not Amazing but it's Great. Lock Ups are a Minor Issue but it doesn't pop. Much Better than the Cyclone Boys 4x4 too. I didn't actually buy it from here but it's exactly the same from the place I got it from. If you're a beginner then this is Amazing for you. Definitely Recommend for Beginners. Really Cheap and If your Advanced then this is alright. Overall a Good Cube
If you want a cheap 4x4 then buy this cube

The Shengshou 4x4 is a great beginner 4x4 that turns smooth enough to improve times on. I was able to bring my times from 7:44.223 PB down to 3:50.869 PB. As I get better at solving two edge pieces simultaneously as I progress through the solve, my times are improving. I'm just now getting to the point where I would prefer to have a magnetic 4x4 that corner cuts. The corner cutting on this cube is poor, but it turns smoothly. After 2 1/2 years, I have never had the cube pop on me. I imagine that if I got into a magnetic 4x4 with great corner cutting, I'll be able to drop my time considerably. BUT, this is a great beginner's cube.

This is a good cube but one day I was solving it and it popped. When I went to put it back together I couldn't because the core snapped in half. This cube lasted about 3 months.

It is fast after breaking in, but it still had that uncontrollable feel from when it was first taken out of the box. Also, I am having a sticker problem where the stickers are starting to peel off just after two days.

I got this cube and dropped it the next day. The Cube exploded into all the pieces and took 7 hours to assemble, then it fell again and still exploded. If you want to get this be cautious.

I was very excited after receiving this ShengShou 4x4 V5 cube for my 14th birthday a few weeks ago. It was a great cube, and I loved the corner cutting that it offered for a revenge cube. This was my first 4x4 speed cube, so I decide to mess with the tensions by loosening some of the screws. That turned out to be a very bad idea, because I popped the cube. It literally fell apart in my hand. I felt so bad and I still have all the pieces in a plastic Ziploc bag. I cannot put it back together.

Out of the box the cube was greasy. Also it locked up allot furring solves and when I started to get fast it seemed it locked up more. I recommend this for beginner cubers but not intermediate or expert cubers

Out of the box, this cube locked up in the middle and outer left side. Sometimes the cube would be internally bandaged and would not be able to turn after trying to force the cube to turn,the whole layer popped, and I had to put it back together. Also this cube is EXTREMELY difficult to put back together. After I put it back together, it popped again, but every thing fell apart, after that I gave up on this cube. Do Not Get This Cube. Also all of this happened the day I got it.

It is fast and locky and no corner cutting at all. It would get shengshou 5x5 lockups and after 10 solves it popped 7 times and exploded 3 times I recommend this if you are a slow solver if you are sub 4 minutes then I would not recommend this cube

I've done over 1000 solves on this and honestly, this cube sucks. Even if you are PERFECTLY lined up, it sometimes acts like its locked up and it just doesn't want to move. To make this cube even close to decent, one must take a lot of time modding it and even still it locks up when you're even half of a millimeter off. It has as much reverse corner cutting as the original rubix cube, and it takes considerable effort to turn without lube. And also, the cube makes VERY weird sounds that can barely be described even when you lube the core. If considering getting this cube, you might as well get the Kung Fu Cangfeng as it is 50 cents more and infinitely better.
