My first cube best in my review

I’ve never used / tried doing a Rubik’s cube in my life. Mostly because I wasn’t exposed to it growing up. I knew what it was but didn’t know anyone who had one.At first, I felt the cube I bought was too light in weight, loose, and too delicate for me. But, after an hour of trying to figure how to solve it (bc I don’t know Chinese… which the instructions it comes with is in), I was hooked. I then began to understand and appreciate why it’s lightweight and slides easily when I turn. After 4…

Pros
  • This thing turns as smooth as silk. Maybe in 50 years, I will finally figure it out.
Cons
  • Good

Fantastic Cube for a Noob Like Me

I have been very casually doing twisty puzzles for a few years now and this is the first "speed cube" in my collection. I got it based on reviews and recommendations on Revain and YouTube. I generally like to have a variety at the cost of quality and this might have changed that outlook. This cube is super fast and even I can solve it within 30 seconds every time and sometimes half that and I'm not using an advanced method. Just using intuition learned from other cubes. All in all, it's fast…

Pros
  • Excellent cube, but mine came with stickers, very strange.
Cons
  • The frosted surface attracts fingerprints and smudges easily, which can be frustrating for some users

Broke easily for my opinion

In the last few months I bought this product two times. First time it broke with a few days of my son (8 yrs) using it. Got the second one delivered today. It broke as soon as my sone start using it. It just popped. He was so looking forward to playing with it. Very disappointed with this defective product. We are going to stay away from GAN.

Pros
  • My grandson like the magnets in it.
Cons
  • The product is expensive compared to other 2x2 cubes on the market

pops to much on my review.

i have had to replace this as when it popped the thing that keeps it in broke all i did was make one turn the one i was gave as a replacement popped after 10 solves i got a 2 by 2 for 5$ and it was better good to keep for looks but other then that its the worst i have ever used

Pros
  • My kids play with this all day!
Cons
  • Need my money back this cube won't turn it was a present.

So Smooth! best in my review

This was my first "real" cube and WOW so smooth I couldn't believe it! I am no pro for sure but if you are looking for something better than a standard rubix cube these GAN cubes are really great!

Pros
  • Brain Teasers
Cons
  • The primary internal design can be too simplistic for some users, which can be disappointing

Great hardware but.

Gan cubes are great, they are the top of the line company when it comes to modern speed cubing. The cube arrived in good condition although the box was a little dented, but no worries as thats to be expected with stuff like this. In terms of how the cube performs, all 2x2s are useable if you want to practice at a high level and this cube is of course noexception. The only problem is that the plastic is actually matte instead of the traditional smooth plastic which makes the puzzle feel really…

Pros
  • WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE - GAN 251 M Air has unadjustable corner magnets but no magnet in the core. That reduces the weight and the cube turns very straightforward. Both Pro and Leap have the same corner core adjustable magnet system, and Leap has much bigger mangets in the core. Overall, two versions perform consistently good, Pro has better stability and Leap has faster speed.
Cons
  • The cube may pop, which can cause users to lose progress in solving the puzzle

Great cube but has flaws

This cube is very fast and has light magnets. I really liked this at first but after I have tried cubes that are less but are still high it lowered my views on this cube. If u are looking for a speedcube to get serious about the event you should probably not go with the route because there are better options. This is still a great cube though.

Pros
  • 2 x 2 x 2 inches
Cons
  • The cube's smaller size may be easier to lose or misplace than larger cubes

Falsely Advertised for my opinion

In the picture it shows that there is customizable magnet strength but when I got the package and opened it up I saw that there was none and the tensioning kept popping out every time I tried to change it. Very disappointed in this product.

Pros
  • Bought it for grandson, he loves it
Cons
  • The frosted surface can wear off quickly, making the cube look and feel worn out

Best 2x2 on the market

This was an instant new main. I got the 251 M Pro, and it was and still is Incredible. I solve on it most days, and it’s still high performance. If you can afford it, get the pro or leap with corner-core magnets. It brought my ao100 down by a whole second(used to be 6.03, now is 4.98). I also have gotten 1s and many 2s on it. Get this cube!

Pros
  • DurableSmoothFast turnsAwesome cube
Cons
  • The magnets may not be evenly distributed, causing further difficulties in turning the cube

My kids loved this product.

This was an excellent product that they greatly enjoyed using, however, do let your kids know that they must not try to dismantle it (like my kids did - they're simply interested in knowing how things work - at a price though!) and now I can't put it back together. Otherwise, it's a 5 star product.

amazing cube for intermediate/pro cubers!

An amazing cube with excellent corner cutting and smooth turning. I've been a cuber for about 2 years now and this is the best 2x2 I've ever had, it is equal to the Valk 2 M in every way, however it does have that GAN buttery smooth feel that everyone knows and loves. it does require a bit of setup, I wouldn't buy if I was a beginner.

Pros
  • Puzzles
Cons
  • The cube is not designed for advanced speedcubers, limiting its appeal
