  I bought the adjustable dumbbells for space saving. But..... If you don't put them on a base with wheels, they are difficult to move from room to room. They are large and not very mobile in arm exercises. Also, you can't rest them on the ground like a regular dumbbell. They require careful handling. Once you finish exercising and put them back in the case, they need adjustment for the next exercise. For athletes who regularly lift weights, it's better to have a set of 7-8 dumbbells. They didn't work for me and I sold them for half the price

  Good construction, nothing fancy, but good. It seems that the plastic is not the highest quality, but it is fine for normal use. The mechanism needs to be handled with care in general, so it doesn't break. It is very good for what it offers, and their price makes them better than most dumbbell sets out there. Anyone looking for weights for progressive overload in free exercises, it is a very good starting point, and not only that.

  Having used in the past the "branded" BOW... They have no difference... neither in construction nor in functionality... and even though they cost less than half the price...

  Overall practical for home use...

  Expensive compared to regular weights but maybe not as much as we think... since at the moment even regular weights (with dumbbells) are calculated at 14 euros per dumbbell and 3 euros per kilo...

  So for 42 kilos x 3 euros per kilo + 2 dumbbells x 12 euros each = approximately 150 euros. That is somewhere around 100 euros cheaper than buying 2 adjustable dumbbells...

  And you won't have the convenience of changing weights and the ease of storage...

  Negative: the relatively large size of the small weights... but I believe it's something that you get used to...!!!

  I recommend them...

  Latest Update:
  - After almost 1 year of almost daily use, I can confidently say that it is a very good product... Knowing how to use them, of course... They are not dumbbells that you throw around on the floor...
  - Also, you cannot exceed 24 kilos per dumbbell (personally, for some exercises, I now need more weight)
  - I still believe that they are well worth their money for the convenience, etc... I would not say the same if I had bought the original/branded ones for double the price...

  As the owner of these dumbbells for a short period of time, I have to say that they are absolutely practical and ideal for a home without space for a full gym. In other words, you have 2 dumbbells weighing 24kg each, but in reality, with the 15 different weight settings they have, it's like having exactly that many. (2.5-3.5-4.5-5.5-6.5-8-9-10-11.5-13.5-16-18-20.5-22.5-24kg)

  As for the price, they are not cheap, but if we calculate how much just 3 sets of dumbbells cost (and not...the 15 they provide), then they are cost-effective as a purchase. Yes, the few kilograms can be a bit uncomfortable due to the standard size and limited oscillations, but you get used to it.

  Of course, we don't throw them away (what a phenomenon that is in gyms) and we handle them protectively to withstand the gears over time.

  They are worth every last euro, solely for the convenience they provide.

  The only thing that scared me is the use of low weights for cardio exercises, as they give the impression that their mechanism will "loosen/break" due to the vibrations created.

  In general, they require gentle handling, both during exercise and when returning them to their base.
