The first cube I bought to learn how to solve. Find videos on the internet about the F2L method if you are interested in learning how. From there, as you get familiar with working the cube, meaning you become faster, etc., this specific one starts to act up. It gets stuck, it jams, it's ready to break. So, for someone who just wants to see if they will enjoy it, it's perfect!!! It will last for about a week. After that, I recommend more expensive cubes with springs and magnets, which, once you use them, you can't go back to this one.
