I would totally recommend these dumbells! They're really easy to use, and quite sexy looking. Plus, I will probably never have to buy a new set of dumbells again! The only thing I wish didn't happen is sometimes the weights get stuck, and this is also too bulky at times (I feel). However, I would not get any other set!
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles
Cons: Big
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought the Bowflex weights to begin getting into better shape. I like that I don't have to have so many different weights laying around to use and that I can just simply dial, lift, and use these. I have just had them a couple of weeks as of this review, so I can't give any feedback yet on the long term effects. Use the dvd to get the most out of the proper form to use during the workout. I would also recommend getting the workout bench to compliment your workouts.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles

The ability to compact your dumbells into just 2 is excellent. The design is top notch. Price wasn't too bad. They are very wide and limit some workouts and make others harder. Shipping was horrible. Nearly 4 weeks.
Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional
Cons: Slow Shipping 3 Weeks, Very Wide Limits Workout

These things are amazing! I have a small gym in my house and they take up nearly no room. I dont have to waist a ton of space with many different dumbbells for all the different exercises and muscle groups. I do however think they are a bit pricey but well worth it in the long run.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional
Cons: None

Best option for adjustable dumb bells. I have used other similar products, this is the best. The other devices have the same drawbacks so the awkward size for some exercises comes with the territory- you can't have it all. These take up minimal space in my home gym but give me essentially an entire set of dumbbells. To buy every dumb bell included in this range would cost much more and would take much more space. I recommend the stand designed for these- it stores the dumbbells at a convenient height for use, looks nice in the gym and is well built.
Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Minimal Space Required, Wide Range Of Weights
Cons: Awkward Due To Size, Large Size At Any Weight

Like the combination of weight selection with compact size. They work for travel by adjusting to a manageable weight. I use it to supplement my old original Bowflex system. Con: they're a little too bulky for my wife to use conveniently.
Pros: Portable

The major problem I have with the product is the bulky feel. Great for bench exercises but not so great for shoulders and arms...too large of a frame.
Cons: Difficult To Use, Limited Use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The case with most weights is that there is not enough variance. In that I mean you cannot get the 2.5 lb difference and must make 5 lb. jumps which is not always possible or wise. Being an older (67) year old user I love the smaller difference. At first I did not fully appreciate that once over the 25 lb settings one could no longer have a smaller increment until on realizes that each side can be set to a weight. Now there is a whole myriad of weights and also dispersions. It is a great system for, of all sports, golf. Better even than the Bowflex I already own and have faithfully used for over 15 years.
