Stamina Versa-Bell II 25-Pound Adjustable Dumbbell Pair Review

Similar in style to it's older brother, the Stamina Versa-Bell 25 Pound Dumbbell set is magic in the making. With only a few products available on the market to service the lowest end of the weight scale (ie. 1lb to 25lbs) - the Stamina Versa-Bell takes center stage, not only with its design, but also its functionality.

Let's take a closer look at this product and evaluate its pro's and con's.

Key Specifications & Benefits

Weight Range:
The Versa-Bell II series comes in two weight ranges - with this being the lower of the two. With operational capacity of 5lbs to 25lbs, this dumbbell set is suited mainly to the audience looking to tone muscle. Whilst 25lbs is a substantial enough weight to lift, being unable to exceed this weight without moving to another set of dumbbells makes it impractical for the more muscularly endowed user. In addition to this range, increments of 2.5lbs provide a higher level of precision than any other lower range product on the market.

Combination Changing Mechanism:
This adjustable dumbbell set uses a sophisticated dial mechanism to simplify and make weight changes more efficient. By turning the dial at the ends of the dumbbells, a user can instantly modify the weight. This is the leading mechanism technology currently being used in the industry.

The Stamina Versa-Bell II also has the following features:

- Display window to view the exact weight currently employed on each dumbbell.
- Durable nylon holder trays x 2.
- Optional extras - such as a stand and floor display.

Possible Downsides to the Stamina Versa-Bell II

Stamina bases all of its products around reliability and durability. Looking at these dumbbells certainly proves that point. Having used the set first hand, there is only one downside that we can comment on.

Because of the way that the dial mechanism works - balance of each dumbbell can be a slight issue. For example, if you were to employ a weight of 7.5lbs - the only way to achieve this is to have 5lbs on one side and the other 2.5lbs on the other.

Of course, at these weight increments, you are unlikely to feel discomfort or annoyance at the differential. It is certainly worth a mention however - as it does detract from the overall perfection of the product.

Final Comments & Conclusions

Who would we be fooling if we didn't say that the Stamina Versa-Bell II Adjustable Dumbbell Set was the epitome of excellence when it comes to lower range dumbbell products! As owners of almost all Stamina products agree - this company pours technology and sophistication in to their developments like there is no tomorrow. The Versa-Bell range continues to exceed our already high expectations, and we would therefore conclude that this is an excellent buy for the beginner or intermediate dumbbell user.
