Solid Dumbbell for General Fitness #sweepstakes

From two weeks of use (4 times a week) the dumbbells have left me with a strong positive impression. They came in good condition and the packaging was not damaged. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. As an avid gym goer I'd say these dumbbells are perfect for those not seeking to gaining considerable strength (eg: anything over 135 lbs w/ a barbell) but are seeking to get fit or toned. The dumbbells fit the bill for all dumbbell exercises and are extremely easy to change weights on. They do not feel unnatural despite their length being longer than normal dumbbells. The only exercise I've had trouble with due to the length was bicep curls (I do both arms at the same time) but there are ways to easily work around it. Outside of its great functionality, the only thing I'm iffy on is the grip which is rubber and not knurled metal typical of dumbbells. That said, the price of these dumbbells allows me to easily overlook this. #sweepstakes
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use
Cons: Heavy / Bulky

I think that for the price and space that it saves, this is a great product. Set up and adjustment of weight increments is easy and quick, and the weights feel true to their purported measurement. The materials are nice and quiet, though the plastic coating around the plates and the clip attachments to the plates make the dumbbell get stuck at times when cycling or trying to remove from the base. The dumbbells save a lot of space and money from having to purchase multiple dumbbells to get the range from 5-52.5 lbs. That being said, they are very bulky and the form on some lifts may feel awkward or difficult where you're used to using a more compact sized dumbbell. It's also been noted that the design of the plates and the plate clips can be a safety hazard if the plate clips loosen from the bar, causing a plate to slide off. You also CANNOT DROP THEM as it will potentially break the connector clips to the plates. Because of this design, you should not do certain exercises with them like dumbbell rows from the push up position. I've just purchased these so I haven't experienced anything like that at this time. Overall, this is a great supplement to your other workout equipment and it does the job for what it achieves in space and money saving from buying separate dumbbells or plates. I would prefer it to go higher than 52 lbs for its size, as some lifts aren't beneficial at that weigh limit. Unfortunately, the Bowflex 1090s are too expensive for me to make that investment.
Pros: Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Weight is Accurate
Cons: Has design flaws with plates and clips., Heavy / Bulky, Weights get stuck at times

The dumbbells have been great. I utilize them with the AppleFitness+ workouts. These get me closer to the movements that the trainers are doing on screen. I purchased these to replace the adjustable kettlebells that I was using for workouts, surely a great upgrade. They are a little bulky compared to the Octagon shaped dumbbells but overall worth it.
Pros: Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Strengthens
Cons: Heavy / Bulky, Uncomfortable
