DianSheng 2-7 Cubes Bundle

DianSheng 2-7 Cubes Bundle - a set of cubes from 2x2 to 7x7

DianSheng 2-7 Cubes Bundle gives you six cubes in one set: 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6 and 7x7. All of them are stickerless, in bright colors (Stickerless Bright). This is the non-magnetic version. The cubes come from DianSheng's budget line, so the bundle is an inexpensive way to find out what solving different cube sizes is like and to get all the basic NxN puzzles at once.

How they turn

Without magnets, the layers don't "click" into place. You have to align them more carefully, and turning is slower and less precise than on magnetic cubes. This matters least on the 2x2 and 3x3. On the 4x4-7x7 the lack of magnets is much more noticeable: inaccurate turns can cause lockups and catching. User reviews say the cubes need some time to break in, and some of them, especially the 2x2, can feel quite stiff straight out of the box. Good lubing and some solving usually help.

Buyers also point out that the cubes are smaller than they expected. Some people see this as an advantage, but it's better to know before you buy.

Magnetic or non-magnetic?

DianSheng also makes a magnetic version of the 2-7 bundle. If you want to practice for speed, especially on the bigger cubes, magnets give you much more stability and control, so that version is the better choice. The non-magnetic version works better for learning solving methods, as a gift or as the start of a collection, when what matters most is having the full range of sizes.

Who is it for?

For someone who can already solve a 3x3 and wants to try bigger cubes without buying each one separately. The bundle also makes a good gift for a child who's into cubes. Just keep in mind that a non-magnetic 6x6 and 7x7 require patience. Speedcubers looking for cubes to train on should rather choose magnetic models.
