Toys and Games Reviews of Rubik's 5X5 Cube
Customer Review: V-Cube 5 is a much better product
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this for my son. Here are his comments about this product:
I don't recomend this cube at all even if you aren't speed solving. This cube comes close to breaking almost every single time you solve it. Get a V-Cube 5x5x5 if you want a much better product. What really drives me crazy is that whenever I move the center layer, the top layer moves along with it. Also, the top, bottom, and middle layers don't move very well, although the inner layers move okay. If you use this cube a lot, you are going to want to replace it with the better V-Cube, so you might as well get the V-Cube instead even though it costs more.
Customer Review: i love this cube.
Summary: 5 Stars
after id played the 4x4x4 cube for awhile,
the inner pieces tended to pop out.
i was afraid that this would be the case with the professor, as well..
but that hasnt happened at all.
and i spin this cube at least 12 times a day.
the pieces still have a firm hold and spin well.
the stickers began to peel within a few days,
but i am hard on stickers, so it could just be me.
=P
all in all..
im gonna give this cube five big stars.
its one of my fav toys ive gotten from amazon.
(note to amazon: get the 6x6x6)

Customer Review: Don't buy this
Summary: 2 Stars
The Rubik's Professor is terrible compared to the V-Cube 5. The Rubik's Professor Cubes don't turn well and their stickers peel off after only a few hours of cubing. You have to twist them slowly or pieces will break (a center piece broke in half on mine). I would be more merciful on this cube if it were the only 5x5 available, but it isn't. You can buy V-Cubes here on Amazon or Eastsheen 5x5 cubes on eBay. Both are better than the Rubik's ones.
Don't buy this because it's cheaper than the V-Cube. The Greek-made V-Cube 5 is, like, infinitely better than this. It's worth the extra $10.
Customer Review: Fun with durable stickers
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this 5x5 Rubik's cube for my brother for Christmas. He has solved the 3x3 and 4x4 before, so he was really excited to get this one. He had it solved before everyone had even finished unwrapping the rest of the Christmas presents (but only because he has mastered both the 3x3 and 4x4). It has the more durable stickers that don't fall off and lose their color if you use the cube a lot, which is a plus. However, it doesn't turn as well as the 3x3 because it has more parts, so it can't really be used for speed solving. Definitely a good buy if you enjoy the 3x3 and 4x4.Customer Review: Great puzzle
Summary: 4 Stars
If you've mastered the 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube and the 4x4x4 Rubik's Revenge then the 5x5x5 is the toy for you.
It provides that extra challenge, but you can use
strategies from the smaller cubes too.
My only disappointment is that it did not seem quite as
robust as my smaller cubes which I have had for
over 20 years. Also a couple of the colors are already
showing some signs of peeling at the edges - whereas my 20 yr old cubes look as good as new.
