Hey Guys,
When I ordered my DaYan ZhanChi 3x3 cube
(See my post about it here), I saw a recommendation for the LanLan 2x2 on Amazon here. It was only £2.50 (~$3.80) so I thought, what the
heck, and bought it too. It was being delivered from China, and so took ~3
weeks to arrive, but it came a week ago, and I have been using it since.
First of all, I must say that it is definitely not the best 2x2
out there, but that would be expected as it was so cheap. When I got it the
turning was clunky, and it was very tight. I have since loosened it and it is
now better, but still cannot corner-cut and is barely finger-trickable. I put
some silicone lubricant in it, but it is very strange and seized up the cube,
making it difficult to move. This was what happened when I lubed my Rubik's 3x3
so I expected it, and after a few days of using it, it became faster than it originally
was. I learnt to solve it by learning the 2-alg beginner’s method, and am now
learning the Ortega method.
All in all, I would only recommend this if you are not a
speedcuber, and are looking for a generic 2x2 for a low price. This was not
what I expected, but I guess you get what you pay for.
