NÜOBELL Cradle

I purchased multiple items from smrtft. However, I selected the matte black cradles and added them to my cart. Somehow their system changed the item to the steel version. When I received the item I followed up with the company for them to rectify the issue. They went in circles and avoided any liability for the error and noted there is nothing they can do because the item isn’t returnable. Be better and correct mistakes.

Update—after continuing to push back on them and providing video proof of the system error, smrtft corrected the issue.

I love these dumbbells more than I can express. I was in the process of buying dumbbells and honestly I've always wanted to get the Bowflex dumbbells not knowing too much about anything else. After trying the Bowflex dumbbells at Dick's Sporting Goods I was a little skeptical because of the awkward shape knowing that it probably would get in the way of certain exercises considering it took away from the complete range of motion. When I came across videos advertising these dumbbells I immediately got pumped up and excited because they just made perfect sense and I had to get my hands on them. They feel extremely comfortable and 100% like an actual dumbbell with the ability to go up and down in weight with just a click which makes working out with these so much more exciting it motivated me from the moment I put them in my hands. The second these showed up I started taking them out the box setting up my stand as you see in the photos and as soon as my wife left out the door I put my earbuds in my ears and started working out using a dumbbell app that I've been dying to use for the longest and my workout was great. My only concern is that there's a little attachment in the cradle that seems to be better off if it was made of steal instead of plastic and I'm wondering if that was to break which seems like a huge possibility how soon would I have to get another cradle considering it seems like an important part to the functionality of the dumbbells. That would be my only concern, with that being said I'm going to purchase another cradle because it seems extremely affordable I think the cradles are about 18 bucks a piece. All I can tell anyone reading this review is I love these dumbbells I kid you not I'm extremely excited they feel great, they look great and I highly recommend them if you're looking for a great pair of dumbbells and 80 lbs is enough for you
depending on what your goals are especially if you're putting in a lot of effort these are the dumbbells for you, don't be making it difficult looking at a bunch of different reviews understand that this is a great pair it meets all your needs and it feels like real solid dumbbells. Everything took like 10 minutes to set up and I was ready to go. The instructions was a little off because most of what they were showing you to put together was already done out the box but it was extremely easy to figure out the starting point with only screws bolts and washers in a hexagon tool you are all set.

Feel great, getting a good workout. 80lb is more then I need

These NÜOBELL 80lb Classic dumbells are very innovative and extremely convenient. To be able to switch between 5 to 80 lbs in five pound increments, with a simple twist of the wrist, is amazing! These dumbbells motivate me to workout. I love these!

The more I use them the more I wish I had them sooner. Just an absolute home run with these dumbbells

When I first received the dumbbells, it came in very well-packaged and got to my door safely without any damage (props to UPS). The dumbbells are very good looking and works perfectly as advertised. After only 2 weeks of use, here are my thoughts:

PROS:
-Adjustable from 5-80lbs (unlocked more dumbbell workouts). Simple and quick adjustment system!
-Knurled handles feel solid in hand and the iron/plastic plates hold up well to my style of workouts.
-Clean, minimal look of them (as compared to Power Blocks, Bowflex, etc. counterparts) and not bulky
-Space saver!

CONS:
-You have to be careful setting the dumbbells back in the cradles as the plates have a small tolerance for proper fit.
-Unsure of how well the iron/plastic plates hold up if dropped.
-Not expandable or modular - what you ordered is what you get!
-Adjustments are in 5lb increments and cannot go in between (2.5lbs)

The bottom line: if you’re looking for some high-quality, good-looking adjustable dumbbells that go up to 80lbs and does everything a dumbbell should, this is the best choice!

Loving the set. Glad I purchased the 80 lb. Using them a lot. Seamless and solid. Wife, originally reluctant of the purchase, now using them almost as much as I. Would purchase again. Agree with prior reviews that NuoBell is the best adjustable dumbbell set out there. SMRTFT great company. Would order through them again. No regrets. Price commensurate with quality of product.
