NUOBELL Adjustable Dumbbells 5-80 lbs: Replace 16 Sets, Ideal for Home Gym Weight Bench & Press

These are very well made and they look great. The handle has just the right diameter, length, and knurling to them. The overall feel of the dumbbells is quite balanced- like you’d find in a high end commercial gym. Selecting the weight is a breeze and taking them in and out of the cradle is effortless. But here’s the thing- you can’t treat them like trash, toss them around, force the selector, and expect them to function. I see people complaining about them getting jammed or “breaking” without dropping them but when you zoom in on their pictures you can see they have some of the weight plates upside down. There’s a clear top and bottom orientation to the plates and you need to read the instructions or at least follow the pictures when setting up. Some people put these together the wrong way and wonder why they can’t get them to function smoothly. User error. And of course you can’t throw them on the floor because they weren’t designed to take that type of punishment. They are designed to be used, but not abused. If you set them up properly (5 mins), and treat them respectfully, you’ll be rewarded. I think they’re easily the best adjustable dumbbells I’ve owned. Worth every penny

I have been using the adjustable 50 pound core fitness dumbbells for about 8 years now and never had issue with them, other than they are limited in weight to only 50 pounds. I got the 80 pound adjustable nuobells as an upgrade, and boy are they awesome. When I first opened the box one of the dumbbell cradles had a cracked plastic part that made it more difficult to rerack the weight. However, after emailing customer support, they sent out a replacement cradle to me that same day and at no charge, and it arrived after about a week. I won't dock a star for the item being slightly damaged out of the box because sometimes it happens. Now onto the dumbbells... Pros- The cast iron plates just look and feel awesome. No issues with the plates feeling insecure and the plates themselves are very durable. I love the handles! The steel grip with the knurling feels like an actual gym dumbbell. The 80 pound max weight is such a game changer for me. While 80 isn't quite enough for some exercises (chest press, db rows, shrugs), it is still enough to get in the work I need. Huge space saver and much more economical than getting 16 different pairs of dumbbells. Cons- Some connector parts of the dumbbell are plastic and only time will tell how they hold up. You can't just drop these. Although it seems fairly durable, you will most certainly break the plastic connectors if you are carelessly throwing them around. Not that I would drop them anyways, but you just have to treat them with respect. If you want dumbbells you can abuse and drop, then you need solid cast iron or rubber coated ones. This product is an absolute must have for any home gym. The price point is very high, but this is absolutely worth it. Edit: I have been using these for over a year now and they have held up flawlessly. I frequently use the full 80 pound weight and the plastic connector pieces are showing no signs of wear. Just treat them with respect and as long as you arent dropping them or aggressively reracking them, they will hold up fine. These are the best investment I have ever made in my home gym, they are worth the price!

Is very nice set, very compact with lighter weights..! This the best set I ever had..! What I like the most is that the weights stays solid, not clapping around.

I bought these because I sold my house, and put my universal trainer, weights etc in storage. I needed a way to work out now I a small space. I had both bowflex weights before and hated them. These I have to say are solid, easy to use and go in increments of 5lbs to 80lbs. I did my first workout today, and am so glad I bought these!!!!!!!

Spectacular weights. Been using them for 3 years now the 80lbs set. Very easy to use. Not for slamming around but still durable. Buy the stand.

Didn't even last 6 months before breaking. They started having some problems only after like a month then all of a sudden they it broke

Great quality and easy to use. Definitely saves space and money instead of buying all the different dumbbells. Looks nice too in black color. Highly recommend.

First I would like to thank Finer Form, the company selling these through Amazon, for exemplary customer service. Through no fault of their own the dumbbell handles broke and they immediately replaced them, no questions asked. Five stars for them. The Nuobell dumbbells are also incredible. A quick turn of the wrist and you can adjust the weight. And love that they go from 5-80 lbs. The only knock on these dumbbells is that for the price, the plastic parts should be eliminated. They easily break and then turning the handle to get different weights becomes nearly impossible and cannot be fixed as a small plastic piece appears to break. For $800 it seems like they should be more durable. In both instances when the plastic parts broke it was during a bench press set and then dropping them to the floor from about 2 feet up. So if you do purchase these realize that you cannot drop them from any height.
