I bought this for my son in law and he absolutely loves it. It's easy to change weight to what he wants and loves that it is so compact. Was worth the wait.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
Great product but can always be improved. Easy to use right out of the box. My only con is they are bulky can hinder certain exercises. If this product could be slimmed down that would be a great improvement.
Pros: Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Strengthens
Cons: Heavy / Bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really like not having to leave the house to get in a workout. The Bowflex and select tec DBs give me everything I need and more. My days are more efficient with being able to work from home. I will never go back to a gym, I know that.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
The dumbells are well-made and sturdy. Adjustability is easy to use and smooth. The dials on the end of the dumbells can get in the way for certain workouts that require resting the end of the dumbell against your shoulder, leg, etc. Definitely, need to purchase stand to go along with dumbells.
This is the adjustable dumbbell that outperforms other dumbbells, and allows you to outperform. I've contemplated buying these dumbbells for a few years. However, since 90% of my workouts were at a gym, I convinced myself I didn't need this home equipment. When the COVID pandemic hit, like many I rushed to the internet for fitness equipment. As most fitness supply quickly depleted, I instantly regretted not buying the SelectTech dumbbells, years prior. As other suppliers restocked their adjustable dumbbells, I ignored them as I anticipated Bowflex's restock. It took months to be able to place my order, then 4 months to get my order. Although, I should've jumped on the purchase earlier, the wait was well worth it. Rather than have a rack of weights that consume too much space, this allows for condensed storage. You don't have to constantly rerack and switch weights, to adjust to varying workouts. Put the dumbbell in its housing, turn the dial to your desired weight, lift off and get those gains!
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Transport, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens, Stylish
I love my selecttech weights BUT the one caveat is if you are using a strength training app/regimen that likes you to use front racking of weights these are too wide for a female to use. I'm 5'10'' and about 145 Lbs. I mostly do spin classes but wanted to incorporate these into my strength training regiment to be more balanced. The versatility is INCREDIBLE and I couldn't recommend these more, but for novice lifters you may need to research alternate holds for the same moves (even bilateral curls don't work unless you do them Hammer.) that being said, a little googling goes a long way and these are still indispensable!
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
I love these! It's so nice to have my weights all in one place. My workout area is clean and tidy! The weights are great to workout with. I definitely recommend these!
