ShengShou 3 x 3 Mirror Cube Puzzle, Silver

Out of the box this cube is very good. It looks cool, it's fun to solve, looks interesting when scrambled, and turns very well. The turning on the cube is very good and coroner-cuts pretty nice. After I took it apart and lubricated it with silicone oil, the cube only got better. This cube is exactly the same as solving a standard 3x3 cube, but instead of colors, you use the shape and size of the pieces.Rating:Turning quality: 10/10Corner cutting: 6/10Chance of popping: 2/10Durability: 8/10Sticker quality: 7/10Overall this is a very good cube, and is a good start if you want to get into shape-shifting cubes.

This cube was not a good purchase. The couple of bucks you may save are not worth it.First, it took two full months to receive the cube and there is no way to track it in transit.Second, once I received the cube the stickers were placed upside down, so the cube wouldn't turn (per the photos). To use the cube, I would need to remove and correctly place all the stickers.Finally, when I contacted the seller I was offered a refund of $1.00. I accepted the offer because it's just not worth the hassle to argue about a cube that cost less than $4 with free shipping.Aside from the sticker issue, the cube does not feel like a quality product. The seller responded very quickly to my messages, which was a positive. Spend a few extra dollars, get a better cube, get it faster, and get a non-defective product.

Turns easily, sleek design, and so much harder to cheat in solving it than a regular cube. Tip for returning it to its original shape if you don't know how to solve it and get frustrated easily--there are online cheat sites to tell you how to solve a regular cube. Treat each depth/shape like a color. I usually start with the thinnest parts to solve one side, then use the Rubik's cheat to figure out the rest based on some guessing and some shape measurement. I'm not yet good at solving it the legit way. However, it's fun to use in waiting rooms. It's a good conversation piece. Way better than a book or iPad because it sparks curiosity. I tend to go about 3-5 moves in, then work backwards to get it back to a cube. People act so impressed when it looks like I solved it because the shapes make it look so complicated. LOL. Maybe someday it'll feel easier to solve. Great cube.

I am very surprised at the quality of this cube. It is head and shoulders above most of the cubes I've purchased, while costing a fraction of the price. It is a very unique design too. Instead of adding different colors on each side of the cube, you have different sized cubes on each plane of the cube. The action is very smooth. It feels like it is been made very well. It looks very good too. I wish all of the cubes for this quality. I would highly recommend this, and as I said it is a very good bargain at this price.I don't have any pictures of it solved right now. Unfortunately my kids got a hold of it before I could take those. So all I have is scrambled pictures.

Embarrassingly so, I saw a guy playing with one of these on the MTV reality show, 'Are You the One'. Towards the end of each episode, they air a random, short, often funny clip/outtake during commercials. The guy was struggling to put this cube back together, his friend was saying, dude, you're never going to get it. It flashed forward to the guy finally succeeding hours later; he ran out, and jumped in his friend's arms, while they were cheering with excitement. Long story short, it was hilarious! I was happy to find the cube online, not knowing the name of the product, etc. This particular cube has a nice look and feel to it, and is challenging enough. It's nice to get in the zone and focus solely on solving it. I think it'd make a great gift/stocking stuffer, etc.

As far as mirror cubes go, I like this one a lot. It turns really cleanly, but as a natural result of the cube's properties, it is difficult to align and turn. The puzzle itself isn't spectacularly fun, I find it somewhat tedious to deal with, but as an actual cube, it is very high quality. The stickers are nice and shiny, with some horizontal lines to reflect light dynamically. Of course, if you prefer a stickerless cube, you can literally just remove the stickers, as the puzzle is not color based. I think a full white mirror cube would be pretty cool actually.

This is a well-made variation of a Rubik's Cube. It is, however, much more difficult to solve, and I've yet to solve this one myself.There are two additional challenges with this cube: 1) all the surfaces are the same silver color, which means 2) you have to be familiar with the shapes on all the sides when you get this, as no sides are the same—even though they look similar; the shapes of the sides are your color reference.The silver parts are made of quality stickers that look like they will withstand wear and tear. I took a star off because the movement of the cube could be smoother. I have a lot of Rubik's Cubes in my home so I have an idea of what makes a "good" cube. If anything, the motion from one movement to another is good enough for most cubes, as this one is.This can be a fun Rubik's Cube if you can solve it. Recommended.

We paid very little for this, so I was not expecting much. It is surprisingly very nice! My son is really enjoying the challenge that this block brings. With all the pieces being different shapes & sizes it takes a while to get used to. He had already mastered the traditional 3x3 when we purchased this one for him. It took him a week or so to really be able to figure this one out. It is essentially solved in the same way as the traditional 3x3, but it is deceiving due to the different sided pieces. He really likes it & it has been a fun addition to his Rubik's collection.

The packaging was of a local brand and not of Shengshou. It had Rs. 194 label on it. I even checked the translation of ShengShou in Chinese and it didn't match the letters on the box. But the cube works fine. It isn't as smooth as I thought and not comparable to a speed cube. Also some stickers were not properly adhered but I used some strong adhesive to adhere it.But its quality is sufficient compared to the discounted price of Rs. 192 at which I bought it.

i have two cubes of this kind.firstly it is smooth and shiny and a good quality product in first look.it have a lot of cons:-1. shine of the product lasts only for 2 days.2. not good for beginners as pieces are hard to understand.3. smoothness lasts upto 2 months.overall u wouly say buy this only if you are able to solve a simple 3*3 rubix cube because a lot of algorithms of 3by3 are used to solve this.otherwise buy it for showpeice only.i recommend this buy below 150

You can always trust on the products from this brand. Talking about this product this is very smooth once you become habitual you will enjoy solving this 3 X 3 silver mirror cube. The surface is very Shiny and the finishing is perfect

Not smooth enough for hassle free moves. At times parts comes out and it is complicated to refit it again

Just what I wanted....challenging but fun
