As part of our practical test of the 3×3 Classic magic cube from CUBIDI®, we thoroughly scrutinised the manufacturer’s advertising claims. The extremely smooth turning properties of the cube are particularly noteworthy. It rotates in all directions with minimal, even resistance and shows no signs of jamming or getting stuck. Every turn feels fluid and effortless, which significantly improves the gaming experience.
The perfect colour uniformity on the sides of the cube is another positive feature; there are no colour deviations or irregularities. The durability of the stickers and coloured areas is also impressive: after intensive testing, they show no signs of wear or visible damage. In addition, the surface remains flawless after cleaning , with no residue or stains, which makes the product easier to maintain.
After all, the size and weight correspond exactly to the manufacturer’s specifications. All in all, the Rubik’s Cube fulfils all expectations and delivers what the manufacturer promises, making it an excellent choice for puzzle and brain teasers.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.5 stars. One common criticism is that the cube can wear out quickly in individual cases. However, many customers like the fact that the Rubik’s Cube works perfectly and are extremely satisfied with the overall quality and spinning properties. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the smooth running and even colour distribution of the cube were excellent, while the durability of the stickers and the general finish were consistently positive. The occasional negative feedback therefore seems to be the exception rather than the rule and does not detract from the overall positive user experience.
Prices of up to €23.39 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €8.99 . The Magic Cube 3×3 Classic from CUBIDI® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €13.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
