They have served me very well. You just have to understand their limitations- the main one being that you don't want to drop them on the floor. The other is that the max weight is 52.5 lbs. So yes, if you're very strong and you like going to failure, you might be a little disappointed. However, if you're an average person like me and just want to get in a decent home workout, these could be perfect for you. The adjustment mechanism is easy to use and the weight increments make a lot of sense. They start out with 2.5-lb increases with the lower weights and jump up to 5-lb increases at the higher end. You can do anything you would do with normal dumbbells- bench presses, shoulder presses, curls, triceps extensions, rows, flys, lunges, etc.
Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Strengthens
I love the versatility and quality of these weights!

An awesome addition to my home gym! I was able to recoup so much room by replacing multiple weights with these dumbbells! This is my 3rd Bowflex product and again they have impressed me! My original Ultimate Bowflex gym is almost 20 years old and still in perfect condition and I use it several times a week. My M5 MaxTrainer is an insane workout and now my SelectTech dumbbells round out the experience! Not why I am writing this review, but it can't hurt... #sweepstakes

Most stylish, compact design and ease of use set of dumbbells I've ever used. Effortlessly switch from one weight to another without the hassle of having multiple sets of dumbbells laying around. #Sweepstakes

I love my dumbbells' even if they are a little bulky. They are easy to use and I love that they are all together, they take up way less room than a bunch of weights. I will say that when I'm following a workout and need to change the weight, it does take more time then just grabbing the proper weight. There are certain exercises that I have had to adjust to because of them being bulky but I'm managing. I would buy them again.
