All around very simple and straightforward and feel good and sturdy with no worries about weight plates slipping. The only drawback is that the hand grips can be slightly uncomfortable and can get slippery. Something rubberized there would be nice. #sweepstakes

Hey Ben - We're happy to hear that you are enjoying your SelectTech 552 dumbbells! We love how simple and easy it is to change weights! We're sorry to hear that the handgrips can get slippery. We suggest trying out lifting gloves during your workouts to see if that helps. - Bowflex Team

Wonderful product. I wanted a set of quality weights to use at home. I don't have a home gym and literally work out in my living room. So I was searching for dumbbells that were adjustable and whose size would not be large given the small space I had to use them. This fit the bill. They do not take up much space at all. And they also look pretty cool which is a big plus. Adjusting the weight dial is nice and smooth. The handle's grip is nicely constructed. I don't necessarily have to wear my weight gloves to feel like I am maintaining a solid grip. They feel very well made and were definitely worth the extended wait time for delivery. I would highly recommend. #sweepstakes

Waited nearly 5 months due to Covid. But, so worth it. They are easy to go up or down the weight range. I feel confident using them. And the grip is awesome. They are very comfortable in your hands all the way to the full weight range. I love using these and looking forward to the larger set they sell for heavier lifts.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens

They are just so easy to use. Different weights for different muscles, easy to change weights and have used them overhead and at different angles with no problems. Weights are very secure.

Needed some dumbbells for home, that were QUICK to change the weight, unlike my old dumbbells. These are definitely much quicker to change weight, and smaller area to store them in. Definitely more expensive than my other ones, but worth it for he time saving convenience.
Pros: Comfortable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Strengthens

Since the pandemic my husband and I, like many have been forced to workout at home. We had a few dumbbells, but nothing that would really help us with achieving our goals. I tried to add to our pitiful collection, but that got really pricey! I wish I would've started off with the SelectTech as I would've saved a lot of money! That being said...I'm happy I made this purchase. It can be a little awkward to use them sometimes because of the size, but I think that just takes getting used to. My only con is having to place the dumbbells down gently because they may break and some plates can come out if you don't lift the dumbbell out of the base correctly. #sweepstakes
Pros: Comfortable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
Cons: Flimsy
