I love the ease of dialing your weight selection. I've been using these for about a month. I didn't purchase the stand and find that I really don't need it. Sometimes I need to make sure the lb's match so they don't lockup. I do hear the weights move slightly on the bar when your doing some exercises but they are not going to fall off. The locking mechanism seems solid.
I can't believe I put off buying these for almost a year! I mainly use these for the P90X program. I used the resistance bands up until I got these. I will never go back to anything less! Buy these, with no regrets!

The Selecttech 552 dumbbells are a great addition to my home gym. I don't have space for a set of hex dumbbells from 5 to 50 pounds (10 different sets of 2), plus the 552's are less than half the cost of hex dumbbells. These dumbbells are comfortable to use and are fast and easy to change weight.

i use these about 3-4 times a week. I set up my own home gym and was lucky enough to get a set of these and it has made my workouts infinitely better. It is so hard to store multiple dumbbells but with these it is so easy. I recommend these anyone who is either looking at getting started working out or been doing it for years.

I work in financial services and typically get home very late, but I've never been lazy about working out. If I'm really busy I'll work out at home before I go to work, maybe follow a workout video such as P90X. I quickly realized that I need the equipment. My place doesn't fit a full gym (obviously) and even select equipment would take up too much space. The bowflex dumbells function great - instead of having dumbells of varying weights and take up lots of space, I have store the bowflex equipment in a corner and use them for a variety of workout moves. I use them regularly and I think it's a great buy for the price!
