I love the concept and most of the execution of this product but there are a few drawbacks. They are long so you have to hold your hands farther apart then with traditional DBs. Also, they do not work for exercises where you hold a single weight (typically by the bells portion). This would be particularly dangerous if doing exercises that require you to be laying down and bringing the dumbbell over head.
Pros: Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
Cons: Heavy / Bulky, Uncomfortable
I would recommend this to a friend!

I can honestly say these are better than expected. Quality item simple to use and the only drawback (not sure how to fix) it is always bulky and would probably need to be to stay balanced.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use
Cons: Heavy / Bulky

I needed higher weight above 20 pounds. Purchasing Multiple sets of dumbbells was looking expensive. Investing in the Bowflex gave my multiple weight options, easy to change the weight, I do like the handles in these dumbbells. They are comfortable in my hands. Set up was really easy. I am saving money with these. This will help get me through all my workouts and will cover the increased weight I need. I am supper happy.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have just started using these - by far these were the best value for the number of weight variations that I can use. Trying to buy individual dumbbells to cover what is provided with this set was going to be WAY more expensive. I also have a small workout space, so the compact design was key as well.
Pros: Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Invest in yourself and get the SelectTech 552s

As a husband, father of three, and retired U.S.C.G. Senior Enlisted Leader, health and fitness is a priority. Since retiring from the military, I've created a home gym and the SelectTech 552s are the perfect addition. This wonderful alternative to the traditional set of dumbbells is compact and provides the ability to get in a great workout. Having the ability to add weight incrementally (2.5lbs) from 5-25lbs is ideal for strengthening different muscles without fear of tearing something because of the traditional 5lbs increase. Regardless if I'm training for a triathlon, obstacle course race, or working out with my family, the SelectTech 552s have met our needs and allowed me to stay competitive.
Pros: Durable, Easy Storage, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
Cons: Heavy / Bulky
