The Rubik’s cube is one of the most popular puzzles in the world. Its apparent simplicity allows anyone to understand how it moves and what the goal is… but very few people are able to solve it by themselves.
Following the success of the original Rubik’s cube (or Rubik’s cube 3×3), other similar puzzles were released: smaller cubes, cubes with more pieces, pyramid-shaped puzzles, dodecahedron-shaped puzzles (12 faces)…
If you are interested in where to buy a Rubik’s cube or any of the similar puzzles, below I will tell you which are the best quality ones and the best place to buy them. But first keep in mind that “Rubik’s” is a registered trademark, so the only cubes that can be legally called “Rubik’s cubes” are those made by Rubik’s. Therefore, they are the best (and only) Rubik’s cubes. You can buy a Rubik’s cube on Amazon:
However, Rubik’s cubes made by Rubik’s are not the best quality ones. Today there are other brands of better quality (they rotate better, do not get stuck, do not peel off the stickers…) and lower price. In fact, these are the cubes that are used to beat the Rubik’s cube world records.
You won’t find these cubes in physical stores, you will have to buy them online. I always buy them in AliExpress (has the best prices, although it takes several weeks to arrive) or in Amazon (more expensive, but faster shipping). Both stores are totally reliable and, if any problem arises, you can claim and get your money back.
I have selected the best 3×3 cubes in relation quality/price, so you can buy the best cube according to your budget.

Buy other size cubes: 2×2, 4×4 and 5×5
2×2 cube is the little brother of Rubik’s cube, while 4×4 and 5×5 are its bigger brothers. A 2×2 cube is somewhat simpler than Rubik’s cube, but each turn moves half a cube, so we don’t have many references. 4×4 and 5×5 cubes are somewhat more complicated than the original Rubik’s cube.
From each puzzle I shall leave you with a couple of high quality cubes (much better than Rubik’s brand). One perfect for those looking for a cube that doesn’t get stuck and turns well when solving it. Another for those who want to solve it in the shortest amount of time possible.
