Review on Adjustable Dumbbell Set Free Weights - 12.5/27.5/44/55/66 Lbs For Men Women Full Body Workout Home Gym Fitness by Kevin Hernandez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Metric (it's in kg), great range of weights, sturdy

Overall very happy with the purchase. Very convenient, saves space, and feels well builtPros:- Easy dial to switch weights- Sturdy build- Compact and aesthetically pleasing- Wide range of weights- Shipped to HawaiiCons:- Took longer than expected to ship- Single dumbbell (yes yes, I read the description and I bought 2 but odd that they don't have the option to buy it as a set)- Plates rattle a bit, but not too bad- Lining the weights back up onto the stand some times is tricky especially when a lighter weight is chosen. Because the plates have to align perfectly into the slots to slide in, it's a little cumbersome on certain weights because there are multiple plates that need to line up and don't slip in because it is slightly off. You get used to it, but in the beginning it really slowed me down. Not really an issue on the heavy weights- The dumbbells are kind of long and the weight distribution is a bit weird. When doing exercises like hammer curls or skull crushers, the length of the weights can make the movements a bit off. Again, I think something you kind of get used to and having the convenience of just one set of dumbbells, I was more than willing to learn to live with it.- The weights use the metric system. I can do the conversions on the fly, but as an American I typically like using my imperial system because it makes me feel more exclusive (am I right Liberia and Myanmar)

Pros
  • Comes with detailed instructions and a variety of workout ideas to enhance fitness routines
Cons
  • The dumbbell set may not be suitable for some exercises
