YJ Wheel Cube Puzzle

This puzzle is tons of fun. I really enjoy solving this one. So much so, that it is the only one of my puzzles I have touched since I received it about a week ago. For the record, I also own a Pyraminx, a Skewb, a 2x2 cube, 3x3 cube, 4x4 cube and 5x5 cube.This windmill cube is more fun than all of them combined. This is just my personal opinion of course.This windmill cube turns great right out of the box (once you figure out how to turn it). It cuts corners as well as I imagine it can given the dynamics of it. The color scheme is fine (a little dark for my liking but it is fine). I just prefer the brighter neon-like colors of the Moyu cubes.You can adjust the tension by removing the center caps like you would for most other cubes. However, I didn't need to adjust the tension OR add any lube as it turns well enough for me as it is.The ONLY issue I have with this puzzle is that the angled center caps pop off WAY too easily. They are popping off all the time. I am okay with it (sort of) because I am not a "Speed Cuber". I just like to solve these puzzles in my own time. It can be annoying at times though. For example, I was solving it last night while sitting on the couch and a center cap popped off and bounced under the couch. So, of course, I had to get up and retrieve it. But, other than minor annoyances like that, this puzzle is still loads of fun and I highly recommend it. OR ..... maybe if you are looking to purchase a windmill cube ..... you should try a more expensive version from another manufacturer? Maybe the center caps of a more expensive cube won't pop off as easily?

Reading the somewhat mixed reviews for this puzzle, I was kind of worried about this YJ puzzle's quality. But I am really into 3x3 shape mods right now, and I decided to buy it anyway. I have had it for a couple of days now, and solved it a few times. I just did a solve and it took me over 4 minutes, and I solve a normal 3x3 in around 45 seconds. A big reason of the difference in time isn't that it is a really difficult puzzle-- it's only a bit more challenging than a 3x3 (more on this later)-- but that it's awkward to turn very quickly when it's scrambled. This is not the puzzle's fault, because turning is really smooth, and can corner cut depending on the direction (because of the shape of the pieces, sometimes corner cutting is impossible and you need to make sure it is lined up correctly-- but if you get a lockup, I find you can quickly fix it by doing a very small turn in the opposite direction, which through corner cutting will align the puzzle, then continue the turn the other way).The stickers are much more than normal stickers, almost like tiles. They seem to be peel resistant, at least for now. Colors are good, sticker/tiles are all placed properly on the cubies.One thing interesting with the puzzle is that when I first solved it, I finished PLL with a U-perm... which rotated one of the outward facing center pieces 180 degrees. I did come up with an algorithm to fix this. I won't spoil it for you but if you want a hint it involves that pattern you can make with different colored center pieces...Center caps can be removed fairly easily, they have never popped off during a solve though. Don't be tempted to take one off and put it back the other way if you encounter what I described above... that's cheating.Great puzzle, lots of fun, new twist on a 3x3. I recommend it.

I like this guy and I am happy I bought it, however there are a couple of small cons.1. Out of the maybe 30 puzzles I have, this one is the only one I can't solve simply because it's only intuitive until the last layer, and at that point I have no clue and there aren't any decent tutorials out there.2. If you drop it, it's going to fall apart. Luckily though all that will happen is a couple caps will fall off and those are an easy fix.Pros1. It turns great, not like I was expecting. It's very fun and I love the color scheme.All in all, I would recommend this as a part of a collection, hopefully you can figure it out and make a working tutorial!

Turns extremely smooth out of the box, and I don't think they greased it at all. Some bits of dust and dirt were on the sides and was easily wiped clean with a rag. The stickers seem pretty good.With some lube, it almost turns too easily and just picking it up with two fingers can make its sides slip out of place. It can cut corners up to 40 degrees (for me) but can't reverse cut at all because of how the pieces are all edgy/flat/perpendicular. Solves exactly like a 3x3x3. Same size as a standard 3x3x3 too.Probably a good gift for someone interested in standard Rubik's cubes. The shapeshifting makes it more fun/interesting without making it that much harder.

Great puzzle, good construction, good action. I can recommend it. However, do yourself a favor and purchase model cement. Each part is hollow and has a cap on it, which the sticker is applied to. I have purchased two of these because the caps just fell off the first one. If you let children play with these, expect to lose at least one cap. That's what happened to me. In any case, As the caps fall off the new one, I have been cementing them with model cement/glue. Works great. Solves the problem of poor engineering. If the caps didn't fall off, I'd totally give this a 5 star.

The quality is very good. It turns smoothly, corner cuts most of the time (sometimes the weird shapes don't let it, but that's not really a problem), and the stickers seem to be very tough.As for difficulty, it's a 3x3 on the inside. So if you can solve a 3x3 you can solve this. It might take some time to wrap your brain around the new shape, but you'll get it. The only difference is that on this puzzle, unlike a standard 3x3, center piece rotations matter. What this means is you'll need to add an extra step on to your solve process. It's not hard. If you can solve a normal cube you probably already know the algorithm you need.
