5.0 out of 5 stars Rubik's cube perfection!!!, February 11, 2010

I have been an avid rubik's cube fan for many years and the thought of a cube this large, after years of only the 5x5 to keep me challenged, was sheer delight. I've owned my 7x7 for about a year and a half and it is by far my favourite toy.

First, the V-cubes in general are far superiour in quality to either the Eastsheens or the Rubik's brand products. V-cubes are incredibly solid. The 6x6 is still prone to pop a few pieces if you push it too fast, but not so with the 7x7. It is extremely rare to lose a piece, and even then I've never had a catastrophic break where half the cube dinsintigrates. As with any cube, there will be a "break-in" period where it will feel a bit stiff, but after a week or two the cube will just fly. I've never had to lubricate my 7x7 either, which is mind boggling to me (my 3x3 with half as much use wouldn't make it more than a few weeks).

I've never seen a cube that came with stickers that were that good. The 7x7 was not an exception in that regard. I would keep my eye out for replacement stickers ([...]).

People always ask me if it is harder than the original 3x3. It should be obvious that it is, but it isn't too bad. That being said, I would not advocate jumping from the 3x3 right to the 7x7. Your best bet for conquering the 7x7 is by way of the 5x5 (and V-cube makes the best 5x5 available). In the end, there is only one additional algorithm that is necessary to solve it (i.e. to finish the last two centres), everything else can be readily adapted from the 5x5 algorithms.

If you are keen on buying all three cubes, you can purchase them right from the V-cubes website.

I would highly recommend any of the v-cubes products. Exacting design and construction make them great toys with longevity. Keep your eyes out for the 8x8 - 11x11s. They'll be out there one of these days.

For anyone who has used a standard (non-professional) Rubik's 4 and 5 layer, you know about constant general stiffness and resistance with misaligned layers. The V-Cube company really has solved those issues with both the 6 layer and the 7 layer (and I assume the 5 layer, but I don't have that yet). Right out of the package, the layers turned with great ease, and the layers "fall in" when turning a perpendicular slice instead of jamming up. The quality is through the roof! Also, the challenge really is higher. I opened up the 6 layer V-Cube, scrambled it and had it solved in 45 minutes on the first try, but I ran into a conundrum on the 7 layer that took me 2 weeks of tinkering to get past.

I purchased this V-Cube 7 about 6 months ago, and it still turns just as great as the first day I got it (even after disassembling and reassembling it). The price has dropped $10 since I purchased it, which makes this even better if you're thinking about getting this. I highly recommend this cube. I had only solved the 3x3 cube before getting this, and was still able to solve it, so don't let the size be too intimidating. I purchase 2 other cubes here at amazon: the Meffert's Megaminx (which is equally as awesome), and I am current waiting for the C4U 3x3x7. I am getting very addicted to puzzle cubes, and Amazon doesn't disappoint, with prices usually lower than the manufacturer's websites, and the shipping time has been quicker than expected. Thank you Amazon, for catering to my cube addiction :-p!
