Title: Good Bargain, Easy to Use, Takes Up Very Little Space.
Review: I originally ordered this around 10 May with an estimated delivery date of 16-19 May (free standard shipping), and was pleasantly surprised with it arrived on 12 May....great job on the fulfillment and shipping.When it got here, I did see damage to the outside box (one whole edge of the box was open exposing the internal foam protection). Concerned, I immediately opened it up and set up and inspected everything. Thankfully, the Bowflex people did an awesome job packing it at the factory, because none of it was damaged.When I ordered this, I was looking for a complete dumbbell set that wasn't going to take up half of the small duplex unit I currently own and live in, so this fits the bill on that end. After reading the instructions, and performing the recommended monthly check, I used them. I set them for 15 lbs, and did my normal weight training circuit routine. The units performed as advertised. I had no problems dialing up the weight, and nothing fell off while using them (this was a problem in some reviews I read, so I checked this out to make sure those things didn't happen).There are some people who complain these weights are too long......here's the deal, they are designed to hold 50 lbs of weight. If you go to any sporting goods store or your local gym and look at 50lb dumbbells, they are going to be the same size. It's just the way it is, so expect it when you get them home to use them.All in all, I like what I see so far. The price saved me money over buying individual dumbbells separately, and these won't take up room like the individual dumbbells will either. They also work well, and feel rock solid. Not for everybody, but someone who is serious about weight training that doesn't have a lot of space, at $299 they are the good bargain.

Title: Nicely built, well packaged, great function.
Review: Quality. I've used tons of equipment over the years. Adjustable dumbbells of all sorts. These, to date, are the best I've used. They are also hands down the most expensive. You get what you pay for.They are packaged up in such a way that nothing shakes loose or could get damaged (aside from personal injury lifting/dropping them).They look nice, which I suppose isn't something you would care much about initially--until you have a set of the PowerBlock dumbbells sitting in the corner of your workout space looking like some type of tie-dye experiment gone wrong. They look like they belong, and they look like some consideration was taken to ensure you wouldn't say "They are nice, but they look like a my little pony's nightmare."Joking aside these have a great feel. The plastic stands in the photo do come with the dumbbells, and make a nice place to set them since they hold the weights you aren't using at the time. If you select, say, 35lbs the remaining weights from the dumbbell sit nicely in the base as you perform your exercise--then it all clicks right back into place when you set it down. Super handy, not clumsy, and easy to use. Speaking of the ease of use I should mention the grips. The grip of these is a nice semi-soft rubber material and it generally feels like an average sized dumbbell grip if not slightly larger. Having used the PowerBlocks (which I found to "work" but be pretty clumsy) I really appreciate the simple feel of these. I don't like having to sacrifice the feel simply because it's an adjustable dummbbell, and these don't force you into that tradeoff.The adjustments are simple: there is a rotary knob with weight labels on each end of each dummbell. Simply click the selector to the amount of weight you want, then lift the dummbell. So easy, a former meathead (myself) can do it!If you're looking for something that will get the job done, you can buy any weights. If you want something that makes you feel like you got what you paid for, but will also be a superior piece of equipment, get these. They cost more than the others, and the reasons why are extremely easy to see as soon as they are unboxed.

Title: Can't complain, even if I tried.
Review: The BowFlex SelectTech Dumbbells are just about the sexiest piece of gym equipment I've ever owned.I'm currently in Phase 3 of my P90X workouts and the only regret I have is not having purchased these sooner! They are FUN to use! Everything from switching the weight dials, pulling them out of the base, the feel of the grip and sliding them back into the base is enjoyable. Even the rattle of the weights works with your momentum when lifting. (that is not to say the weights are loud in any way)A few things I noticed.BowFlex did a great job selecting which weight plates are added and removed for every setting! In other words, the dumbbells look great with any weight setting because they are distributed and spread out accordingly. I think they look pretty cool even with no added weight plates (5 pound setting)kinda like futuristic hex dumbbells.The hand grips are hands down the best I've ever felt on any dumbbell period. In fact, they feel better than majority of other handles on unrelated devices, like bicycle handles and hammers.Although I worried initially from some of the other reviews about the size, mainly the width of these dumbbells, they have not presented any issues whatsoever. Even when I read that you'd have to make slight adjustments to certain movements, I was worried... but now I understand what those adjustments are and they truly are so minor that it doesn't even take conscious thought past the initial perception of it.The design/colors are truly a thing of beauty. They don't feel like a dirty, rusty, smelly pair of dumbbells like my old hexagon dumbbells. They feel like a sleek, expensive, hi-tech gadget, which for me, really adds that extra motivation while working out. It's a good feeling knowing you have the best gear to support your fitness goals.As for durability and construction, once again... feels solid. Of course these are not your regular pair of steel/metal dumbbells that you can drop and throw around with little concern. The SelectTechs have intricate moving parts and many different materials beyond just steel, but with proper use and care, I can see them lasting indefinitely. (life-time)Conclusion:Visual Design - 5 starsFunctional Design - 5 starsDurability (w/proper use) - 5 starsEase of Use - 5 starsSatisfaction - 5 starsIf you're looking for a pair of dumbbells that look great, work great, costs less than buying individually, takes up minimal space and inspires you to push your workouts to the next level... get these immediately. You won't regret it!

Review: Compré el kit que incluye la base. Es muy práctico tomarlas de ahí y tienes toda la flexibilidad de cambiar el peso muy rápido según la rutina y parte de tu cuerpo que quieras trabajar. Tenia unas mancuernas que había que estar cambiando el peso en cada ejercicio y era muy tardado y tener mancuernas de todos los pesos ocupa mucho espacio y tampoco es tan práctico. El cambio de peso es muy sencillo, se giran las dos perillas al mismo peso en cada mancuerna y listo se levanta de la base. Quieres otro peso? La regresas y cambias de nuevo el peso y listo. El material es muy buena calidad y su forma impide que anden desplazándose en el piso. El único pero y es relativo es que así levantes 52lbs o 5lbs el tamaño (largo) de la mancuerna no cambia y puede ser muy aparatosa para pesa muy bajos, como ya levantando 35, no me afecta ese tema, si vas empezando tal vez si.

Review: Le système est indéniablement très pratique. C'est beaucoup mieux qu'un rack d’haltères quand on n'a pas un espace dédié.Cependant, je m'attendais à ce qu'il y ait moins de jeu au niveau des fixations.De plus, il est explicitement interdit dans le manuel de s'appuyer sur les haltères, pour faire des pompes par exemple, car cela peut endommager les fixations et annuler la garantie.

Review: Die Lieferung der Hanteln erfolgt in einem stabilen, gut gesicherten Karton. Der Zusammenbau der Hanteln ist einfach. Die Beschreibung ist sehr präzise und Schritt-für-Schritt aufgebaut; auch die deutsche Übersetzung ist hervorragend.Die Scheiben liegen sicher in der Halterung, das heißt kein Klappern, kein Herausrutschen. Die Bauweise ist sehr kompakt und elegant, die Scheiben sind ein echter Handschmeichler. Das Konzept Viele-Hanteln-in-Einer spart erheblich an Platz, besonders wenn man keinen eigenen Fitnessraum hat.Das Gewicht lässt sich mühelos verstellen. Gerade für App-geführten Trainingsprogramme, zum Beispiel Muscle-Booster (ebenfalls hervorragend), bei denen für unterschiedliche Übungen unterschiedliche Gewichte erforderliche werden, sind die Bowflex-Hanteln sehr gut geeignet. Auch bei Überkopf- und Schwungübungen sind die Hanteln sicher.Wer konsequent trainiert, der sollte sich diese Hanteln anschaffen. Er und auch sie können sicher sein, ein Premiumprodukt zu erhalten, welches sich vor allen Dingen langfristig bezahlt macht.

Review: Lo mejor de este producto es que tienes muchas mancuernas en una. Según las fotos pensaba que eran más pequeñas. La construcción se le ve robusta.Lo único que no me gusta es que el fabricante recomienda no apoyarte sobre la mancuerna cuando ésta está en el suelo lo cual no te permite hacer algunos ejercicios de fuerza. Por lo demás, excelente.

Review: Like many people the past week, I have been scrambling to find home gym equipment. While I was hesitant about the price at first ($399 at the time), you will find that you would probably pay alot more buying the individual pairs which take up more space.After a week of use, I am highly satisfied with the dumbells. Easy to use, comfortable and highly durable.It takes a workout or 2 to get used to the feel. Certain workouts (any chest press or squat) require little adjustment with your positioning and wrist, but never is range of motion limited.Obviously these are more delicate than your local gym weights so DO NOT DROP by any means necessary. However, if handled with care, the feel becomes natural and you don't feel like your holding little machines.I highly recommend these dumbells. Fantastic value, a space saver and a great investment during these times and even after this all passes.Edit: 5 months of heavy use. These have held up real well. No issues to date. Like others have mentioned, the weight discs have a slight give. I only noticed this after a month or 2. Nothing to worry about in my opinion. As long as you're not dropping these hard into the base or onto the floor, these should last a while.Edit #2: 9 months in and these are still holding up. There is some aesthetic wear and tear that doesn't affect function. The chrome paint on the handle is starting to chip. Other than that, these are still proving to be highly durable.

Customers say

Customers like the performance, ease of use, and build quality of the dumbbells. They mention they work well, are easy to set, and reliable. Some also say the weights, ease of adjustment, and ease of change are good. However, some customers disagree on whether it's space-saving.
