These work great for the tiny space in my living room. Only thing that's difficult is having to pause my workout videos and adjust the weight setting between each exercise. But I'm dealing with it. Otherwise, they are wonderful!
Pros: Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
This product allows me to have an effective workout without leaving my apartment. I wish I had purchased the bench also to get more out of this product.
Pros: Comfortable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
Awesome dumbbells take some getting used to because of the overall size but they are great I will eventually upgrade to the 1090s soon and keep these as a backup

This product is an absolute must! I only have a 12' x 12' home gym space so having these dumbbells saves me much needed space. And waaay cheaper than piecing out each weight size! The select dial turns easily but is still sturdy, trustworthy, and obvious when a selection is made correctly. Returning the weight to the stand is very smooth, no rocking around required like I've seen with imitation products! There is very little noise from the plates while in use, less than my regular adjustable dumbbells, and I sense no movement of the plates when lifting. I love how fast I can switch between weights and, even better, how fast I'm seeing results! Like all of the Bowflex products I've used, the 552 dumbbells are a luxury choice with an economical price tag! #sweepstakes because I'm saving for a VeloCore!

I do a lot of cycling and play tennis usually once a week. I do strength training 2 times a week sometimes 3. I'm a highly active 63 yr old and live in an apartment w/o room for barbells, weight benches an such. These dumbbells provide all the tools I need to keep myself toned and strong.

After doing a ton of research, I landed on the 552 dumbbells as the best option for me and my home gym. There really wasn't anything else on the market that checked on the boxes. These did! Very Fast Weight Changing I work out with my fiancé at home, and we take turns between reps. I needed something that could very very quickly change for when we lift different weights. For example, switching quickly from 10 lbs to 17.5 lbs. There are lots of amazing dumbbell options that take way longer to switch that just wouldn't work for us. Otherwise we would need 2 sets which we don't have the space or money for! Space saving & price Our "home gym" is extremely small at 8ft by 8ft. We needed something that would not take up too much space. Additionally, it was way more expensive (in Nov 2021) to buy the individual dumbbells (close to $1,000) and very few places had the smaller increments (like 7.5) in stock. 2.5 lb increments We both lift pretty light and needed the smaller increments to slowly progress up in weight. I couldn't find many selectable weight dumbbells that allowed 2.5 increments. And even if they did (power block) it was a long process to take weights in and out to adjust it. This probably won't be an issue for most people, but for us, it was! Longevity Lastly, I wanted something that would last a long time. There are newer brands and products that I considered, but I didn't want to gamble on something that had not been tested for years. From everything I read, it looks like the Bowflex selectech last the test of time. I hope the same is true for us.
