If you need free-weights/dumbells and you live in an apt. or house where you don't have room or money for two walls of dumbells, this is the way to go. I bought a less expensive set, tried them for a week and wound up taking them back. These were twice the cost but 10 times better quality. I debated over saving money, but the quality makes me feel like these will last much longer.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use
I would recommend this to a friend!

The look and feel of the dumbbells is very sleek and modern. I purchased the stand and it fits perfectly in the corner of my room. The main advantages the SelectTechs is the ability to quickly select different weight incriminates. The dumbbells are larger than traditional dumbbells you might be use to. The grip have a nice wide feel to them however if you are not wearing gloves they will tend to become a bit slippery during use. The SelectTechs did come with a DVD that shows you various exercises specifically designed for these dumbbells, I really did not find this to useful though. The only issue that I have seen so far is that when weights are locked there is a noticeable wobble in the weights. , which can be a little unnerving. This isn't enough of an issue that it would discourage me from buying them again.
Pros: Compact, Easy To Use, Multifunctional
Cons: Flimsy

My wife purchased the dumbbells, stand, and bench for me as a gift. They are well built, easy to use, and they allow you to work your entire body. The extra space that I gained by getting rid of my old dumbbells was a definite plus.
Pros: Compact, Easy To Use

I have been using the selectech 552 dumbbells for over a few weeks and found them to be a great tool to my gym. I am able to move from one exercise to another with ease. The only fear I have is how easily the dumbbells make break if dropped frome even a low level.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
Cons: Risk of easy breaking

I was always looking for the perfect seperate dumbbell set, but didn't want to spend a thousand or more. I played with the the Bowflex in stores first and was so-so on the size. After a year, I reluctantly bought the Bowflex set - thinking that I would send it back if I didn't like it. Boy was I surprised how much I liked the set - it is a great piece of equipment. The size is perfect because it forces you to keep proper form in every exercise. Even though I thought I knew how to use dumbbells, I picked up a few new methods in the DVD that actually worked better for me! I am extremely happy with the set and it even looks great in my living room where I exercise while watching TV - much nicer than the loose dumbbells I had laying on the floor!
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, SWEEEEEET, Targets Muscles
Cons: None

Product is of good quality and is easy to use.Obviously not as versatile as a rack of dumbbells, but much more economical and easy to store. Hand grip is a bit uncomfortable at first, but one becomes accustomed to it.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Targets Muscles
Cons: Limited Use
I would recommend this to a friend!
