This is a well built puzzle, and turns very well, especially for a dodecahedron. However, I was hoping for a greater challenge, but it's essentially a more tedious 4x4.

I personally find solving a 6x6x6 or 7x7x7 cube more enjoyable, and if you don't have one of those, I'd recommend going that direction before going for a dodecahedron.

Like all ShengShou cubes, this comes out of the box a little greasy due to the excess of lube (very thin) lube, which a gentle rub down with a kitchen towel will take care of. I added just a pinch of Traxxas 50K to the inside, which is probably unnecessary, but is my personal preference.

One thing I did like about learning to solve the Dodecahedron, its it helped me understand the generalities of cube algorithms -- which is just good nerdy fun. But that said, this will probably never be one of my main (daily) cubes (puzzles).

I know the title of the review is almost perfect which would imply some error, but it’s still 5 stars. I’ll elaborate. I got it in the mail and it was fine for about 3 days, then after that, 5 of the stickers fell off of it. It may be rough treatment on my end, or maybe not the best stickers. That aside, it’s about what I expected from the product. The first few turns don’t feel that good, but after a single solve, it’ll feel so much better.

Very happy with this.
And I like how ShengShou has stepped up their sticker-game lately.

Needs No work.
As good as you can ask for out-tha-bawx.

Yeah i like the sound of that

It's a very good puzzle. I've heard that Shengshou puzzles can be a bit luby out of the box. It definitely needed a towel to get the excess off. It solves very easily without any popping. It does catch a bit, but with the complexity of this puzzle, I'm not surprised. This is one of my first two Shenshou puzzles. I expect I will be buying more in the future. I do wish they put out stickerless versions of this and other minx puzzles.

Turns very smoothly out of the box, and the puzzle is very fun - it’s a 4x4x4 version of the standard megaminx, so you have to worry about making centers and edges, and there’s even a parity case! I do wish there was a stickerless version as there is a lot of “white space” on the puzzle (I got the white version), but this seems to be a rather rare puzzle so given the quality I can’t complain.

This is a great puzzle and has high quality everything. Good turning, good stickers, and a compact design. Over all a 10/10!

I really love that this came with extra stickers just in case! It has flawless turning and looks like a bowl of fruity pebbles when scrambled!

it turns ok but a good cube to have in the collection

Turns alright on both layers after breaking in, doesn’t require lube. Very greasy out of the box but that’s alright. Same size as gigaminx, do t be expecting something between a Megaminx and gigaminx

this cube is perfect, the turning, its durability... even though it is greasy out of the box it is perfect.
