Adjustable Dumbbell Set
across 2 reviews
2.5/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Functional for light isolation work such as curls and lateral raises
  • Plates are coated in plastic, making them quieter and safer during accidental contact
  • Bar extension accessory allows straight-bar curl variations without wrist discomfort
Reviewers push back
  • Screw-collar adjustment is slow, making drop sets and supersets impractical
  • Plastic construction raises long-term durability concerns; collars loosen mid-session
  • Handles are long and plates are bulky, causing interference on pressing movements like shoulder press and Arnold press
A plastic, screw-collar adjustable dumbbell set that works for beginners but frustrates more experienced lifters with slow weight changes, size limitations, and durability questions.
— best for: Complete beginners or lighter lifters who need a low-commitment set for isolation movements and have no urgency to change weights between sets.

Strength & Steel Reviews 3.0/5
Jay Chan II 2.5/5

One reviewer rated the set a 5.5 out of 10 and considered it passable for a budget buy; the other reviewer, comparing budget sets broadly, implies screw-plate systems fall short of dial or wrist-style alternatives without directly scoring this set

Pair of 25lb dumbbells look great and are of top quality. I wanted vinyl coated weights so as to avoid scratching up our wood floor and these fit the bill. The non-slip handles provide a good grip even with sweaty hands. We are very please. Jonathan G. · living.fit
