 So far so good. Mar 09, 2010
This product is acceptable. Its usefulness must be weighted against its flaws and in my opinion (so far) this a moderately well-designed product for its purpose: the home gym.
As others have noted the individual weight-components shift around slightly while in use--nothing extreme--but noticeable. Over time this may become a problem due to wear. This is why I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who will have more two people using these on a regular basis. This means not for any commercial uses or in therapy clinics (see some of the other comments...)
Because they shift, occasionally the weights get stuck in the holder. There is a technique to removing them involving standing on either side of the base and forcibly pulling on the weight. Happens about once a week, although nothing seems damaged, so I have been dealing with it so far.
Overall, a decent product for someone in cramped quarters (ie a dorm room or studio apartment) who doesn't mind dealing with a few minor flaws in design.
 Great item Mar 06, 2010
Plus: Space saving, easy to adjust weight, high quality materials.
Cons: Not very cheap, a few moves can be awkward due to the size of the dumbbells.
I think it's a fantastic product - if you purchase individual hand weights of the similar material it would run up a much larger bill and take up more space. When you order be sure to arrange for proper pick up or delivery - the package is 150 pounds!
Much better than the dumbells I had in high school Mar 06, 2010
I have owned a pair of these for about 7 months. The weights stay on really secure so I didnt have to worry about them dropping on my feet. They are a bit more expensive than some but you get what you pay for. If you dont always have time to go to the gym like me, or you just want a decent upper body work out then these are the ones to buy

This product works really well. Very easy to select the weight you want to use. Extremely well made and the handle is slightly curved to fit your hand better. A little pricey but worth the money.

Works Perfectly So Far....... Mar 02, 2010
Great purchase, my only complaint if any is they are pretty wide so certain moves have to be adjusted. Also hopefully this was a rare situation, but one the weight plates fell off while doing a move. Could be it just didn't lock in to place prior to me lifting it. I would definitely recommend this item!
