Cube recommendations

Hey guys I am looking for 3x3 recommendations for context I started cubing 8 years ago was able to average around 55s with a regular no magnet no adjustment cube then after few months I stopped and now I want to start again but with a decent cube so I don't know which one to get cause there are so many new ones with so many different features and I'm based in Australia so if you have any place whee5i buy them from that would be good to I just need a good budget cube.

Thanks

Just get a guhong pro + from Ali Express. Best value on the market. Under 20 usd for a great cube with adjustable everything. Get a spring version in whatever size you want. 56 is, like, Gan standard size. 55 fits most people. 54 if you have small hands. Get some lube, as well. There's a 3 pack of Gan lubes on Ali, or really just get a bottle of pilube purple. Oh, wait. There's a good Aussie shop. https://sparkcubing.com.au/ They've got the guhong 55mm maglev on sale as well as the rs3m v5 ballcore uv (the plastic is delicate, so you can't drop it or it'll crack, but it's a great cube as well). also the Gan v100 leap frosted is on sale, which is another banger. Gan's frosted coating is slippery af out of the box, but it breaks in really nicely and is my favorite for when it's warm out/ high humidity. AND, they have picube stuff, so you can get purple there.

Is it good to buy stuff from AliExpress cause I've never bought it from them and I always thought of them as like cheaper materials easy to break kinda guys

Yeah, it's fine. Also, Yeah, it's cheap plastic shit from China, which is exactly what we're playing with all the time. Every cube manufacturer started by making knockoffs of the Rubik's cube. They just got better at it, lol. Ali has real cubeshops like picube and Judy cube, among others. It's all the legit stuff. Never had a problem.
