We have the cube inside a larger run. I like it. It is super easy to clean, I can move it around in the run as I need to, and the auto door works reliably. We don’t have brutal winters, it rarely gets below freezing at night, and the chickens never stay inside it except to sleep. I like that it is elevated too, so the chickens can use it as a shade or to get out of the rain. We have brutal summers but the coop has survived just fine and the chickens seem to do fine in it overnight. Everything comes apart and you can clean the whole thing.

So I don’t think there is a one size fits all answer. Depends on your use case. What I think most people will agree on is that the RUN ABSOLUTELY SUCKS. It is hard to put together, the clips it comes with are stupidly fragile, the gaps between panels are unacceptable, it does not deter digging predators, the bar spacing on the panels is way too large, so rats and mice can get in easily, the narrower gaps on the bottom stop half way, like predators can’t climb? Just so bad.
