This was the last of the Vcube products I purchased. I started with the Vcube 5, then the Vcube 7, and eventually the Vcube 6. My reviews on the 5 and 7 pretty much sum up what I think of the quality and ease of use of the Vcube line, and the Vcube 6 is just as sturdy and easy to turn as the other two. You will not find a better quality cube at any given layer level than a Vcube.

Another reviewer mentioned the clicking that this cube makes, and that is definitely something you will notice when first using this cube. This was done intentionally to make sure that the layers all line up once you've made a complete 90 degree turn of any given layer. Without the clicking, the layers could become "misaligned" and "lock up," making turning the cube in a different direction impossible until you click the first layer back into place. This "locking up" of the cube still occasionally happens, even with the clicking mechanism in place, but it doesn't happen often enough to be a problem. Besides that minor annoyance, I do love this cube. But if I had to be honest, it falls third to the 5 and 7. That could mostly be due to my affinity for odd layered cubes though, and no fault of the Vcube 6 itself.

I also saw that another reviewer claimed to not have received instructions on how to put this back together. They are definitely included in the package, but could be easy to over look, as they are printed on a thin strip of tri-folded paper that look exactly like the bottom of the packaging. Please make sure you remove this insert from the package before throwing away the box.

As a side note, I've found an entirely new and fun way to play with this and any of the other Vcubes. Each cube is prone to the occasional piece popping out if you turn it the wrong way, or force it, so Vcube has graciously included instructions on how to put these cubes back together. I've found that intentionally taking the cube apart and then putting it back together can be an enjoyable activity, especially for people that like building toys such as Legos. I've taken this cube apart multiple times and put it back together, and it still turns and handles exactly like the day I took it out of the package. It's like getting a puzzle and a building set in one!

This is a challenge to keep together. No matter how careful the pieces are moved they will still fly out on occasion. When some of the inner pieces come out it is a major disassembly and reassembly to fix it. I have had almost half of the cube disintegrate in my hand while very carefully moving the pieces around. Taking the cube apart and reassembling it is an interesting challenge and can be as much of a puzzle as the cube itself. If I did not enjoy solving the mystery of how things work I would have thrown it in the trash. It was a very expensive item to be so unreliable in function. My 4 and 5 cubes do not have the problem. Do not use this cube in a place that you might have a problem locating the many small pieces when it explodes on you. If you loose even one of the small inner pieces the cube will just disintegrate on you every time you try to solve it. I had this happen to me till I found one tinny piece under the couch and tore the cube apart to find where it went. In spite of the daily frustration of the popping parts it is my favorite cube to solve.

Very fun cube, if you like to impress people with your mad skills. You pretty much have to know how to solve a 4 layer cube (A.K.A Rubik's Revenge) in order to deal with the flipped edge pairings and swapped corner issues that you don't encounter on odd layer cubes (3, 5, and 7). I opened the package and scrambled it- and solved it in 45 minutes while talking on the phone to my girlfriend. I credit the slick turning of the V-Cube design for that. I recommend it to anyone who knows the cube well and is looking to gain bragging rights, but not for someone seeking a new challenge. If you can do the 4, this is an easy step up. For a real challenge, try the 7 layer.
