94% positive
90% liked the space-saving design
Bowflex has designed a brilliant product that not only saves money but also storage space.
The dumbbells are easy to adjust and use, and take up very little space.
I can adjust all the weights up to 52.5 pounds into just one single Bowflex dumbbell.
80% highlighted the safety features, but 20% had concerns
I have personally experienced the safety feature of the dumbbell where the top acts as a safety feature to prevent plates from accidentally falling on me.
The dumbbells have a safety feature where if not set properly on the dial, I won't be able to lift them off the platform.

The product has a plastic disk weight holder that easily breaks and a weak spring release that does not always stay secure for safety.

I am dissatisfied with the quality of the Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbells as they are mainly plastic and not top-notch.
90% liked the well-balanced design, but 10% found it uneven
The dumbbell's bottom-heavy balance causes weight distribution to shift during rotation, leading to muscle fatigue.
