  • Top of the Line Dumbbells -- Astounding Results

    Jun 23 '11
    Pros: 2.5 pound increments, sturdy and durable, there is always a great workout available
    Cons: sometimes the plates catch on the lock, not often

    Summary: In any ordinary workout everyone I know (including me) dread using the rusty, old and cheap iron dumbbells. You usually look down at your hands and see a burgundy rust residue and hands that have cuts or scratches on them. THIS SHOULDN'T BE A PART OF ANY ... read more

    Pros: Easy to change dumbbell weight; helpful DVD
    Cons: Cost; should come with stand

    Summary: The Bowflex Selecttech 550 Dumbbells allow you to have one pair of dumbbells, but multiple weight levels. They are overall a good product, at a fairly high price. I paid a little under $350 for mine (they were on sale), and that included me ... read more

  • Great dumbbells, takes up very little space

    Mar 17 '07
    Pros: Weight selection availability, durability
    Cons: None really

    Summary: I have had the Nautilus 552 dumbbells for about a year now, so it's high time I publish a review of them. I got them for my basement so when I can't make it to the gym I can still work out at home. They are very easy to use - just turn the dial on each ... read more

  • Pricey but well worth it...

    Mar 06 '05
    Pros: Smallest increments, almost instant weight adjustment, very little space required.
    Cons: Price, size of dumbbells.
