I bought the Guhong Pro maglev, 56mm because I was looking for a quiet cube for twisting while the family watched TV. Regular price on it is $20, but SCS had it on sale during Black Friday for $13. And omg, this is an amazing $13 cube, definitely main worthy, though not quite on the level of the WRM V9, Tornado V3, Gan 12, or Gan 15. I performed over 500 solves on this cube in the last couple weeks before posting this review. I have the cube set up on tension "1" with Lunar lube.
PROS
Quiet during metronome exercises, and only slightly louder when pushing TPS solves. Ultra angle corner cutting isn't amazing, but it will corner cut at 45 degrees (tensions set to "1") and any angle less than that will corner cut with almost no effortless. Removing the center caps and adjusting tensions is easy to perform without tools. Magnets are strong enough to provide self-alignment from about 15 degrees out, but not so strong that turns are hard to start. There is a nice 'bump' during turns. The plastic feels nice, especially for a "budget" cube. I've not had to reapply lube yet, so the wavy lube retainment marks on the cubies seems to hold lube well. Twisting is forgiving up to a point if your turns aren't clean. It rarely locks up, unless you are forcefully misaligned on fast TPS solves.
CONS
Cube only comes with a frosted finish (UV coating isn't an option). If you prefer UV coating, you are out of luck. The entire cube is caked in factory lube from the box. It isn't hard to disassemble and clean, but it is slick until you get the cubie faces cleaned off.
VERDICT
Without considering the price, I would rate this a 4 out of 5. Considering the price, it is easy a 4.5 out of 5 (rounded up to 5 for this review). When going for best times and TPS, I still reach for the WRM V9, Gan 12, Tornado V3, or Gan 15, but the Dayan Guhong Pro maglev 56mm is an enjoyable, rewarding cube.
got the 54mm spring version, feels very fast but with minimal lockup issues, incredibly smooth turning out of the box, every other cube I've had has needed a decent amount of setup while I have not lubed or adjusted this cube and I average about a second faster on it, feels and looks amazing with fast and smooth turning
I own all the top model MoYu, Gan, and xman but this one is the one I use most. It is such a ridiculously good value. It feels and sounds super similar to xman tornado v3.
The light airy feel and the softness of the pieces hitting make this a special cube. The maglev offers even less friction and piece contact, making this a fast and very smooth puzzle.
Super worth to get especially with the sale, feels good but also faster than the regular GuHong pro.
