I was excited to see that the Bowflex 552s were out of back order - just in time for Christmas for myself! This is a great addition to my home gym and I hope to use this for a very long time. The equipment is made from very sturdy material and is compact (vs having multiple dumbbells taking up more space). Highly recommend!
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Strengthens
Cons: Heavy / Bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really like the fact that I can adjust the weights to my need. Trying to get back to the gym rat stage! And I didn't want to have a ton of dumbbells lying around (I had some sets in a basket and now I hope to donate them). They are easy to use too! While you do have to put them back in the cradle to adjust as needed - it does give you that adequate rest time which you should probably do anyway when working out.
Pros: Comfortable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's wide, bulky, and is annoyingly out of proportion. I waited three months for this, and given how expensive it was. I expected it to be much more functional.
Pros: Easy To Set Up
Cons: Heavy / Bulky, Uncomfortable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Buyer beware, if purchasing get extended warranty.

The product is overall a good exercise product. I have knee issues so I purchased this for that reason. It's alright for low impact, however there is still some stress with the downward extension. So for worse knee problems might suggest other products. While the product is a good exercise device, if it breaks (and it will) you are expected to troubleshoot over the phone and small fingers are required to do what they need (and crawling around on the ground which is great for a bad knee). Then you find out that while the parts are covered for two years you are expected to either do part replacement yourself or pay almost as much as the extended warranty to get a one-time technician to replace it. So beware if you do purchase get the extended warranty as it will break and then it will be on you to maneuver in small spaces to repair the unit. I've had the unit for 8 months and use it pretty regularly. About 6 months in the console and servo motor both broke, but contacting support was not easy due to the times they were open and times I could be at my unit to "troubleshoot' as you had to be at the unit and call on the phone.
Pros: Easy To Use
Cons: Noisy
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
