PowerBlock SportBlock 24 Adjustable 3 to 24-Pounds per Dumbbell Set

If you are looking for a set of adjustable dumbbells in the lower weight ranges - this could be your best bet. We took the time to review this offering from PowerBlock, and our findings are included below.

Major Benefits and Specifications

Weight Range: 3lbs to 24lbs.
The weight range of this adjustable dumbbell set is definitely at the lower edge of the spectrum. Whilst a difference from minimum to maximum of 21lbs is satisfactory - we would only recommend this product to absolute beginners or people looking to tone muscle rather than build it.

Incremental Allowance: 3lbs.
The incremental allowance is the amount of weight you must add to reach the next combination on the adjustable dumbbells. Given the lower range of the weight scale, 3lbs is an ideal and convenient increment to utilize.

- Padded rubber handles
- Pin mechanism for weight combination changes
- 10 year warranty (other companies offer only 2 to 5)
- Competitively priced

This set of features places the PowerBlock SportBlock 24 Adjustable Dumbbell Set in the middle of the field. There is nothing too flashy here, but then again all of the features that you would expect from quality dumbbells are present. Given that this set is priced so competitively, there are definitely a fair number of reasons to invest in this product.

Our Experience With The Product

Our trial of the PowerBlock SportBlock 24 Dumbells went very smoothly. The padded handles are an excellent feature - making for a comfortable workout without sore hands at the end. Additionally, the compact nature of these dumbbells makes them incredibly convenient to store and transport - very handy if you are taking them away on holiday or to a friend's house.

Potential Downsides & Negative Aspects

Whilst nothing immediately jumps out as being a "negative" feature of this product, we think there is still room for improvement with the pin design. A number of companies have now moved past pin technology and on to safer, more efficient ways of allowing for weight combination changes.

It's interesting that PowerBlock is incorporating this latest technology in to its other products - yet opted to keep the more dated mechanism in this one. Nevertheless, the dumbbell set does fulfill its purpose, and will no doubt provide you with exceptional value for money in the long term.

Overall Conclusion

To conclude, the PowerBlock SportBlock 24 Adjustable Dumbbell Set is an excellent buy at the current price. If you are looking for a lower weight range dumbbell set and aren't too bothered by the lack of "modernality" that some other products offer - this product from PowerBlock should suit you perfectly!
