I picked up this adjustable dumbbell set mainly because I wanted something compact for quick workouts at home, and it’s turned out to be a really convenient option. At first glance it’s marketed as a 10 lb set, but how the weight distributes is a bit more nuanced. Each handle is 1 lb and the plates are 1 lb each, so if you split everything evenly you’re working with 5 lbs per dumbbell. What I like, though, is that you’re not locked into that – you can shift plates around and get different combinations like 1, 3, 5, or even 7 lbs on a single dumbbell, which adds some flexibility depending on the exercise.
The adjustment process is quick and straightforward, so you’re not wasting time fiddling with them mid-workout. You just move the tab and twist on or off. The grip feels comfortable with a nice textured surface that helps keep things secure, even when your hands get a bit sweaty. I also appreciate the triangular design since they don’t roll around when you set them down, which is a small but practical detail.
Overall, I think these are a great fit for beginners, lighter strength training, or higher-rep workouts. The ability to adjust between 1–7 lbs per dumbbell gives you more range than you’d expect. For a simple, compact home setup, they do the job really well. At the time of purchase, they were $36.09, which I think is a bit expensive for what they are.
