Very bulky, hit myself in the head the first time using them to do overhead press, also cannot hold easily to do dumbbell RDLs. Honestly prefer regular dumbbells.
Pros: Durable, Easy To Set Up
Cons: Hard To Use, Heavy / Bulky, Uncomfortable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Starting out slowly with the weights, so easy to move up or down with the weights and it can be done in seconds flat. The only real issue is that I need a straight bar for presses and i'm not going to invest another 500.00 to do just that. There should be a way to convert what I have to a straight bar.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
I would recommend this to a friend!

These dumbbells are awesome! I've been looking at getting a set for a while now, and these caught my eyes because of their versatility. My partner and I like using free weights and the fact that it's a whole set of free weights without taking up the space is great. Definitely recommend this set if you want free weights but don't have the space to have a full rack. #sweepstakes

Since the Pandemic of '20 my wife and I have quit going to the gym. We have limited space available for storage so we have been looking for equipment that serves multiple purposes or takes up limited space. I explored a wide variety of adjustable dumbbells and decided that the Bowflex 552 were our best option. They most resemble typical dumbbells which was important to my wife. If she was going to use them then this was a game changer. It took a while to have them shipped but it was worth the wait. They are user friendly as they are easy to adjust to the desired weight. If you want them portable then I'd suggest you find some type of rolling rack. If you are not one that typically hauls around 52 lbs with an attached base (that is easy to knock off) then these could be a problem. If you leave them on the floor then not so much. I found them initially to be bulky in that the posts are quite long but given the alternative of having to have multiple dumbbell sets then this was an easy compromise.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Use
Cons: Heavy / Bulky

With limited space these weights are perfect for me, high quality easily to setup and use. No complaints here and I'm not easy to please when it comes to quality. I also bought the bench absolutely no complaints, solved piece of equipment.

Great for a garage gym. "#sweepstakes" Husband just needed to mount the bases on wheels to make repositioning and storage even easier. "#sweepstakes" He used heavyweight, wheeled, potted plant caddies for that. "#sweepstakes" Saves so much time--with so much less frustration--compared to wrangling with old-fashioned dumbbells and their clamps/collars.
Pros: Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet
