I use cardio apps to workout in my living room. Going to the gym across town once or twice a week just to lift weight. This product basically turned me into a hermit and I love it.
Pros: Accurate Weight, Compact
Cons: Heavy / Bulky

I replaced my original Nautilus SelectTech dumbells with the 552's. The 552's are not as comfortable as the original design due to the handle/bar is not as ergonomically correct as the older version. I'm now having to use padded workout gloves when using the 552 dumbells to avoid pain/bruising due to poor grip design. Also, since I purchased the dumbells, I'm now getting multiple emails per week from Bowflex to try and sell me other products. This is ridiculous!
Pros: Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Use
Cons: Uncomfortable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
