I've wanted one of these for many years, since back when the only one was the mf8 version. But watching videos of that one you could hear the kind of scraping that should only be associated with removing barnacles from an ocean liner.
This Shengshou turns beautifully though and seems much better designed and built. It does need to turn well though because the first thing I noticed about it is that it is heavy. It's marginally the largest puzzle I have but it is substantially heavier than the others. I have lounged and solved it on a sofa but it is more comfortable with a table/surface to rest it on. It is large, weighty, and a long solve after all.
Colours are good but a few stickers are peeling. That said, it came with a full set of replacement stickers so I can't say I mind.
I love the Megaminx and the 4x4 so the solve is right up my street - weirdly the centre building stage is more enjoyable than 4x4. Edge pairing takes a while because there are 30(!!) of them but I find the megaminx solve is actually easier on this than on a megaminx. It's easier to find the paired edge pieces than the dinky little normal megaminx edges. There's 1 parity lurking in there but it's not a monster.
Overall I love it! Quality of the physical puzzle is great, and although It's not reinventing the wheel in any way in terms of the challenges it throws up - it combines enjoyable elements of 4x4 and 5x5 cubes and of course the megaminx to make something a bit different.

High-gloss UV finish for extra shine and improved scratch resistance. Slightly grippier feel.
Magnetic-levitation tensioning replaces springs for lower friction, faster feel and fewer spring noises.
Magnetized core/ball improves alignment and auto-centering for fewer lockups and a more stable turn.
Was initially intrigued by this cube because of its smaller size (I think this is the smallest 11x11 on the market currently) but was also pleasantly surprised by how well it turns. Every layer turns perfectly straight out of the box, it's very lightweight and an ideal size to manipulate easily and without any hand strain over longer periods.
I was hoping to beat my previous best time with the magnetic DianSheng Galaxy 11x11 (21mins26secs) and was able to on the first solve, shaving off over a minute with a 20mins20secs solve time. I'm pretty confident that after getting more used to this cube I'll be able to get under 20 mins - the cube's quality is just amazing. And at a very very decent price for such a good product!
100% recommend this to anyone who likes high-order cubes, speed solver or otherwise - you'll have a blast with this cube.
This is my 2nd review on this puzzle. It's so good it deserves it. I have gotten a CRAZY double PB of 3.10 AO5 and 2.56 single. It is really good. Pair with some KewbzUK blitz lube for pure speed and you have got yourself a world class cube!
Amazing cube, especially with KewbzUK lube, Doesn't pop, good cornercutting and fast how i like it
Very good cube, nice turning and like hot the corner magnets all adjust at the same time. One minor problem is that m and m’ turns are a bit harder to do
Really nice, smooth cube. The feeling out of the box is heavenly, HIGHLY reccomend
