Pros: Well, it looks cool. And it comes with a solution manual (in english and chinese), so in case you don't know how to solve it, it will teach you.
 
Cons: Very low build quality, it looks like it is going to break every time you try to turn it. It is quite hard to turn the sides (I haven't tried any type of lubricant).
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: It's good to impress other people. I haven't tried assembling it yet, but the solution manual has only 7 steps, so I think it will be easier than the regular 3x3x3 cube.
For this price, I think it's a nice cube to start with, but keep in mind it's low quality.

Good item to spend time

Pros: For any starters who aren't sure whether or not this is the puzzle for them, this prodecut is a decent place to start.
 
Cons: The stickers are rather cheap, and the quality of plastic leaves something to be wanted. I can shake mine and here some bit of plastic rolling about inside it. Because of the plastic, the square-1 locks up frequently and the top/bottom edges barely rotate when more than four 30 degree wedges are in that layer.
 
Other Thoughts: This was my first square-1 and although the price is astounding I wouldn't recommend this cube to any serious cuber - you get what you pay for. However, get it if you're just a curious lad, can't go wrong.
 
Bottomline: Don't be shy, it won't bite. Its a great price and although it has its flaws, its fun to mess with. ~~Serious cubers should not buy~~

it works..

Pros: it works! its something different to an ordinary cube. if you are bored then its easy to just pick it up and trying to solve it for like forever.
 
Cons: the stickers is not the best quality they fall of easy and brake but you can just fix it with some superglue.
its hard at first but when you work it up a bit it gets easier.
 
Other Thoughts: about same size as a normal 4*4*4 cube.
dont use if mad! i get really annoyed when playing with it, but i just cant stop...
my dog seems to like it too since she almost ate it:p
 
Bottomline: hmm....? buy because its cheap and yeah. its not the best quality but what can you ask for at this price..
at last you want to just reset it in some way and the instructions for how to solve it are really bad. they show a picture of a like randomly mixed cube and shows how to solve it from there but its gotta like exactly like the picture....
