I was so excited to get the select tech 552 in the mail. I keep increasing my old weights and this solves all of my bulking needs < 3 The only problem is I'm a tiny female. 5'0" and these weights are too bulky for me. I can perform certain exercises okay, but, in trying to do something like a chest press, the weights knock together before I can get my arms perpendicular. Not sure if anyone else has this same issue? A "slim" version would be nice. I'd gladly pay for a 2nd edition because the product itself is masterful. Great design. Easy to store. Easy to use. I'm still very happy with it.
Pros: Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use
Cons: Heavy / Bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

After being stuck at home since March of 2020 due to the pandemic, I have been desperate to lift actual weights. Finally with these dumbbells I have a full range of weights to use. Just as an FYI - You may have to modify some of your movements if you're used to using single weight dumbbells because their profile in smaller. Because of the nature of the adjustable dumbbell they are longer than what you may be used to. This is not a complaint because there is really no other way to design these if you want the functionality of adjustability in a single weight, but just making mention of it if you have specific range of motions needs.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens

The ability to select weights on the fly and space saving for a smallish apartment is a game changer for me. I showed the set to a friend and she wants to buy one as well. I am slowly setting up a gym within my home and these weights are pivotal in that plan.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Use, Strengthens

Easy to use. Compact, saves space from traditional individual weights. Works both for older (me) regular but more casual and younger (my son) more serious workout. Had to wait for these because of the demand created with the Covid, but well worth the wait.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens

Love these things! A must have for home gym. Saves a ton a space. And both my husband and I can use them with the wide range of weight they have. Slightly bulky when working out but doesn't bother me much as I can easily accommodate, definitely worth it!
