This was an early Christmas gift to myself. I am using it for P90 X. The 552's added more intensity than the resistance bands I was using. The dial on the weights works smoothly and transitions quickly between exercises. Sorry, I can't give any cons without lying. 5 star product.
Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Saves Space, Targets Muscles

I had read other reviews before I purchased the dumbells so the length was not a surprise. Can cause some difficulty for some exercises, but overall, an excellent value. I referred a friend, and he loves them too.
Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Versitile
Cons: Long

I needed a solution to have a gym alternative in the house. I have a newborn and I cannot get to the gym every night anymore. I put a treadmill, a bench, and the 552 dumbbells in a small area of my basement and it is like an instant gym. I debated long about getting the 552 or the 1090 weights. Knowing I still will leverage the gym on occasion I opted for the 552's. My mentality is I will leave my heavy lifting to the professional equipment and do more high rep work at home. I am very happy with my decision as the 552's are just the right size. Any bigger and I can see the weights getting in the way for exercises that require a lot of motion. The dumbbells are a bit wide compared to a standard weight, so the inch or two saved by going with the 552's compared to the 1090s is helpful. I was actually surprised at how sturdy the system is, it does not feel lose and the click wheel to select the weights moves very easily, yet has a very distinct "click" to lock in. In the end of the day, I have a very versatile solution for my needs.
Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Space Saver, Time Saver
Cons: Bulky For Smaller Weights

I use these dumbbells along with my P90X videos. It makes it easier to keep up when transitioning from one exercise to another. Before I would have to pause the CD and change the weights. These dumbbells allow me to quickly change weights and it is so easy to adjust the weights if I feel like I should go heavier or lighter. They are definitely worth getting.
Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Multifunctional, Targets Muscles

I have started my two young boys on weight lifting with these dumbbells. Great for teaching technique. Easy for us to switch the amount of weight we use without taking up an extended time removing and adding weights. Looking forward to being able to spend more time with my boys using these dumbbells. Thanks Bowflex

I am glad I made decision to buy these. Love the space saving design. I had a small issue where one side of the dumbell would not eject from the bracket unless the 2 arrows perfectly matched. Simple fix, good to go. I also recommend the matching stand.
