Don't look at prices, look at quality. For a beginner i would suggest the ghost hand version 1. For intermediate i would say an Alpha V. For experts i think a dayan zhanchi or dayan guhong version 2.If you want a good 4x4 get the shengshou version 3 or dayan+mf8 (if you get the MINI dayan+mf8 then you might want to get lubricant with it). On youtube there are many reviews of these cubes so go check them out.

 any cube is a great starter, but Dash3222 is kinda right, not putting you down dash. but with the cubes dash pointed out is true. but there is a lot of great starter cubes. i liked the ghosthand 2 3x3 for my starter. plus you get to learn how to tention your cubes with any addjustable cubes to your style,

and for a 4x4 i would agree with Dash on the shengshou ver. 3. i dont have the mini dayan+mf8 but i do have the dayan+mf8 4x4, i think its a great cube but not my main. it turns well but i start getting to fast for it and it pops on me. the shengshou ver. 3 4x4 will not pop and right out of the box its allready good. my main 4x4 is a x-cube 4x4, and you really need to know how to addjust it and lube it to make it a great cube, but it has a high price tag.

Ty.

The Stickerless cube has no stickes but in replace, the cubes are fully colored. I would not recommend this if you are planning to compete in any competitions as those cubes are illegal.

Also, I prefer DIY personally so I can mod the whole cube without taking it appart since you will recieve the cube in parts.
