The reason why i bought this is because i want a 6x6 that performs well and doesnt break the bank. I was about to immediately buy the mgc but when i saw a review about the ylm that randomly appears in my recommendation i decided to buy this instead of the mgc. Like any yuxin big cubes. Ootb it was sluggish and the square off corner. My mind was like uhhhh why did I buy this should have chosen the mgc. And the cube covered in lube but the lube didn't make the cube any better. So decided to break in about 100 sloves and then set up. The more broken in the cube the faster the cube is. After 100 sloves the cube turned way faster than oo tb. Then I cleaned up the factory lube and lube with silk dor the smoothness, break in and dnm for the speed because the speed is not so fast. And I relied that I tensioned the cube like Ootb (I thought it was too tight at first). 6x6 and up sould be tensioned tight in order not to pop. Break in the cube and boom. One of the best 6x6. I average 5 mind in old shengshou and this cube just broke it. In first sloves I got 4:40 because I was not used to the cube and it also super slow. Now I'm average 3:10 with this cube.
Pros:
-Very good anti pop mechanism, never get any single pop during sloves.
-Feel premium to me. Feel like a 40$ cube
-Good corner cut, everything (second layer coner cut, third layer corner cut,...) always cut less one cubie, regular coner cut more than 1 cubie, reverse less half a cubie.
-Cheap
-The third layer is not slow
Cons:
-Lock up is the major problem in this cube. Although the cube is tight it still happens but not too often. Some of them can be easily fixed but sometimes the lockup very bad and it affect the times badly (not often).
-The cube itself is not very fast. It maybe pretty slow for some people but dnm will fix it.
-The magnet in second and third too strong for me.
Summarize, it is a very good cube with a cheap price. I have had this cube for months and completely satisfied with it. Just give this cube a try. I would recommend this over yushi (100%), mgc (when you hate pops and super fast speed), shadow ( when you hate slow big cubes). Although it's not perfect but yuxin did a Good job on this cube.
100% recommend.
If you read to here you're awesome and thanks for reading this super long review

I bought both the little magic 8x8 as well as the 6x6 (m) without knowing that they’d look different. The magnetic version’s plastic looks completely different and some pieces of the same color are oddly discolored. It turns fine, not the best by any means but the magnets do what they’re intended.. I would totally return it for the regular 6x6 version if it was easy enough to return but I haven’t yet. Be warned!!

it’s pretty good, but turning is a little off.

It is an amazing budget cube, middle slice turning is meh but I don’t speedsolve anything bigger than 4x4 so it doesn’t bother me. It did pop because I was trying to turn it too fast though.

It was smudgy and hard to turn out of the box. Got better after loosening the screws, lubing and breaking in. Wish it were lighter.
Inconsistent colors. The red and blue faces are darker and duller than those on the YuXin Little Magic 7x7 M.
If you are willing to spend a little more, get the YJ MGC 6x6 which I've seen go on sale for $19.99.

with a little lube this 6x6 competes with the best of them. very affordable and a very good purchase.

Very stiff out of the box. Makes a squeaking noise too. But I lubed it and it got much better.

no because it was really bad and it felt like i was trying to rub sand paper together every time i would turn it.

The turning was sluggish out of the box but you could feel the magnets in all the layers. The outer layers had medium strength magnets but there were stronger magnets towards the inner layers. The tensions were perfect out of the box. I’m surprised has never popped or locked up during multiple solves, unlike the MGC and the Shadow (as they lock up and pop quite frequently during solves). It is so buttery and smooth, and it feels premium quality, not a $16 6x6. But still the price is amazing and it is slightly cheaper than the MGC but way over half the price of the Shadow. I heard that the non magnetic version the YLM 6x6 is okay (some said it needed magnets), and guess what, they came out with a magnetic version which I assume is much better than the non magnetic. YuXin is a great company for big cubes in my opinion, where else YJ is good with the smaller cubes, but anyway they’re hard to compare. YuXin is so good at making their cubes pretty smooth and stable and controllable but I guess YJ is good at making faster and speedy cubes. If you’re looking for a controllable and smooth 6x6, get this. I will also recommend the MGC but I think this is better in my opinion. Hope this review helps. Note: Maybe some DNM-37 or MAX, will work, as well as some cosmic lubes (Martian or Lunar).

fine as far as budget 6x6’s go, you get what you pay for and whatnot. the magnets help a lot but one came loose and makes a very annoying noise
