Our Promise to You

All of our products are guaranteed to be free of defects, or we will replace and reship at no cost to you. Please contact us within 4 weeks (28 days) past the delivery date to report any issues with items you have purchased.

Please note that some new cubes when being used for the first few times may experience what is termed a "pop". This is when one or more parts of a puzzle pop out without any damage actually being done to any of the pieces. This also occurs from time to time during normal usage. Pops are typically not considered a defect if the parts which come off can be reassembled by hand.

The corners on 2x2 puzzles should not be twisted as doing so may snap the piece. Damage caused by corner twisting is not considered to be a defect.

Great Cube

I got this and it was dry out of the box. I set it up and it performs great. I wouldn’t recommend this cube to people who have a rough turn style. I’ve had 2 pops in 10 solves but that is because I turn rough. Otherwise this is a great cube.

Nostalgic, mostly.

This was my first speed cube from a few years back. It's pretty good, fast, light, but it pops on loose tensions too easily, and if you tighten it too tight, it feels gummy and stuck. No real balance. It's mainly a good starter cube, but there's definitely a lot better budget and starter cubes nowadays.

Review

I ordered my Dayan Zhanchi white on Tuesday and it came the following Monday! (Free shipping so I don't complain at all) I ordered it with just the standard lube and it was really smooth right out of the box. The only problem was it was tight but if you just take a screw driver and tension it correctly, its amazing. It can easily cut 45*. It automatically turned into my new main. I am really satisfied with the cube and especially for the price.

POPS

It's good but it pops so much. On recent 3x3s when you corner cut too much it just locks up, but when you corner cut to much on this cube it explodes.

It's a Classic

The DaYan ZhanChi it not the best cube on the market, but it kicked off the speed cubing boom of the last 16 years. Regardless of what the naysayers will tell you, it's a great cube to learn on and solving on it is still enjoyable. If you're a collector, or you're just looking for a solid cube to start your collection, this is the cube to buy. Don't buy the ZhanChi 2017; it's not an improved version of the original, it's a completely new animal that noone wanted. Buy the real thing instead!

Disappointed

This cube was my first aside from the classic Rubiks brand and it was surprisingly worse than my rubiks brand. The corner cutting was the only thing better but it was only slightly, I lubed it, changed tension, and tried everything I could think of to make it better but nothing worked all that well. The cube felt stiff just overall was poorly made.

Good with setup

I got this cube as my first speed cube. and I loved it After setting it up with magnets and putting it at loose tensions, the cube feels amazing. the cube is fast but controllable. I have a small problem with the corner twisting but that is not a big deal. after I lubricate this cube, it will probably be my main.
