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!
