Stamina Versa-Bell II Adjustable Dumbbell Pair Review

Whilst it may look simple in appearance, the Stamina Versa-Bell II is certainly no infant in the adjustable dumbbell market. With its generous weight range of 10lbs to 50lbs, this dumbbell set is perfect for those at beginner or intermediate level. In addition to the weight range, 5 pound weight increments make this piece of equipment a satisfactory addition to any home gym or exercise program.

In our experience, you don't need fancy products with feature lists printed to infinity. If you can find a decent product which is reliable, durable, and able to perform the basic exercises correctly - you have a winner.

This is exactly what the Stamina Versa-Bell II Adjustable Dumbbell Pair achieves. Let's take a look at its key specifications to see why exercise gurus are raving about its existence in the market.

Key Benefits & Specifications

As already discusses, the Stamina Versa-Bell boasts a weight range of 40lbs - which is satisfactory for a lower grade dumbbell. 5 pound increments will also provide precision where it is needed most - especially if your goal is muscle tone.

The dumbbell operates similar to Bowflex products - with a dial system incorporated in to the design. Unlike Bowflex however, this system is more simplified - however unless you are an advanced weight lifter - you probably won't notice any difference.

Unlike most other products on the market - the Stamina Verso-Bell has a built in viewing window, which displays the exact amount of weight currently attached to each dumbbell. This can be useful if you switch weights often and run the risk of being confused by the constant changes.

We also liked the free inclusion of the weight tray for this set of dumbbells - a convenient feature to keep all the weights in a central location - and to prevent damage to the floor. Most other companies charge for such an extra.

Potential Downsides To The Product

In our trial of this product, there is one thing we would recommend you keep in mind when buying the Stamina Versa-Bell Adjustable Dumbbell. Because of the difference in mechanism between this product and the cutting edge "dial technology" from Bowflex, users will need to take more care when changing weight combinations.

In one instance, we did not entirely secure the weights to the dumbbells before use - which was an error in our judgement - albeit an easy one to make. We then proceeded to discover that the weights fell off the bar as a result of our carelessness.

Obviously in this instance - the fault was our own. However, we do recommend that if you are changing from the Bowflex mechanism to the Stamina one - there is no foolproof safety device to protect you from such errors.

Overall Conclusion

Our review of this product proves that Stamina can indeed produce quality products, even if they don't look all that sophisticated. We would be happy to recommend the Stamina Versa-Bell Adjustable Dumbbell set to anyone looking to purchase such equipment.
