PowerBlock Classic Adjustable 5 to 45lbs Dumbbell Set Review

Powerblock - a major player in the adjustable dumbbell market - has seemingly struck back at other manufacturers such as Bowflex and Bayu with this latest product to hit the market. In an effort to grab back the market share it has lost in recent times, the PowerBlock Classic Adjustable 5 to 45lbs Set makes an excellent contender for such a mission.

Priced at a very competitive level, this PowerBlock product has a few key features which are worth looking at. First of all, the weight range is a generous 5lbs to 45lbs on each dumbbell - a broad enough range for a beginner or someone only wanting to tone instead of build muscle.

Whilst other manufacturers often only offer their users a choice of weight combinations at 10lb increments, PowerBlock has made precision its number one goal - and has therefore narrowed this gap to just 5lb increments through the entire range.

In addition, a 10 year limited warranty clearly surpasses the offerings of 5 years and even just 2 years from other manufacturers.

Key Benefits of the PowerBlock Classical Dumbbell Set

The number one feature which owners of the PowerBlock Classical Dumbbell Set comment on is the price. If you have shopped around for a set of adjustable dumbbells, you will understand that for a top quality product, you might expect to spend upwards of $500. This is certainly not the case with PowerBlock.

Whilst price is important, experts are often concerned that a lower price means a compromise in the quality. In this case, owners have continually reported that the product exceeds quality expectations, and continues the range of products in keeping with the PowerBlock ideal that quality materials top all other features of a dumbbell.

Possible Downsides To This Product

This product has been given a very high star rating by users - and there is very little negative feedback to report on. Whilst a single users' experience should not affect your purchasing decisions, it is worth noting that one user who reviewed the product found that the pins holding the weight to the bar kept snagging on his shorts.

Whether this is a consistent issue or not is difficult to tell, however no one else has made such a comment.

It is therefore our opinion that if you are going to wear shorts during your dumbbell exercise routine, you might like to choose a pair which is tight fitting to eliminate any possible risk of a "snag" taking place.

Overall Conclusion

Having taken a close look at this offering from PowerBlock, we were generally impressed by the functionality, durability, and pricing of the Classic Adjustable Dumbbell set. No doubt if you are a first time user of dumbbells, or not wanting to spend a fortune on exercise equipment - this product will be perfect for you.
