Performance Fitness Systems TB560 5 to 60-Pound Adjustable Dumbbells with Stand

I bought this set for $249 when it was an Amazon gold box deal a couple months ago. There weren't a ton of reviews yet but it was such a good value that I decided to bite. I am so glad that I did!!! The set was delivered to my door in 3 boxes and assembly for the stand took me about 20-30 minutes. The weights come completely assembled and so far seem to be very durable and of good quality.Adjusting between weights is very easy to do and can be done quickly without much fuss while going through a workout routine. The one downside, which has been noted in other reviews, is that most of the dumbbell (aside from the weights themselves) is made from hard plastic. However, I have yet to have any issues and overall the weights seem to be very well constructed. Plus, at half the price (including the cost of the stand) of the also mostly plastic Bowflex Selecttechs these are really a bargain. I would recommend them to anyone filling out their home gym or for those taking on the p90x challenge.

Read the reviews of others so I knew that there would be some issues. Received the dumbbells and stand within 7 business days. Not bad for free shipping. All the items where packaged well. Set up was a bit difficult with the stand, but with some patients not a big deal. The main issues I had were that the stickers for weight selection were completely incorrect. Had to re-arrange all the stickers and figure out what were the correct weight settings. This was a pain and took some time. Another issue I had was putting back the dumbbells in the tray. But with some practice it will work. I do like the grips and the way the dumbbell feels. You can definitely get a good work out. Also the price can't be beat.

For the price you will not a better adjustable dumbbell. That said there are a few annoying things I should mention.It's hard to find a set in this price range that goes above 50 lbs. These are 60 lb and they throw in a stand which is of good quality. Even when Bowflex SelectTech 552's go on sale, they are still around $50-$100 more with stand. That and the fact that they have 10 less pounds of weight makes this a great buy.There are a couple annoying things though. The instructions for the stand is wrong, they must have changed the design without updating the instructions. It's not that hard to figure out though. Also they put the stickers backwards, and on the wrong sides of the dumbbells. Luckily they are easy to peal off and correct. Finally they used a lot of plastic. There's a metal frame, but it is covered in plastic and the selectors are plastic as well. I'm not sure it's a great idea to make those plastic since they hold the plates, which weigh up to 10 lbs each, onto the frame. I could see them breaking if they are dropped.The bottom line is they work. They felt solid in my hands and have a simple but comfortable grip.

I purchased these dumbells about a year ago and love em. Wanting to save money, I quit the gym and wanted to invest (on the cheap) in some home equipment. Not having alot of room in my garage, adjustable dumbells were the way to go. After a ton of researching I found these here on amazom.I purchased my set for $279 + free ship & no tax = a great deal ;) they took about a week to get here in three boxes (I think). Set em up and heres the deal... Handles have a nice rubber grip, but are plastic (hard plastic), the weights are all steel and the stand is light weight, yet very sturdy. They do not take up a lot of space and adjust very easily. They can be a little troublesome to place back in the stand sometimes, but it's not bad.I do P90X, so I use these things alot, I lift em over my head, out in front of me, to the sides, I flip em this way and that and I have NEVER had a problem with them "feeling unsafe". They work great the weights "wiggle" a little bit, but ALL adjustables do. You can always find something to gripe about, and somepeople do! I have tested many different brands, all have pros & cons, and found that if you aint picky and want to do it cheap and still get a good product, then these are for you.

Got these Turbo dumbbells since the price seemed like such a good deal. The packaging for the product was quite good with lots of styrofoam. Unfortunately the product is just not very good. The stand is pretty lame. It is really short meaning that you have to bend over quite a bit to grab the dumbbells. Not good for the back. It is also not well engineered since the center upright flexes and wobbles at the lightest touch when the weights are on it - too flimsy. The other issue is that when you lift the handles and are not using all the plates, the plates that are left behind don't stay totally upright making it a bi*** to get the handles set back down. Things get all tilted and wedged most of the time. I am also really surprised at the super thin plastic used for the selector levers and the handles overall. They will probably break off easily. The bells don't weigh what they should and don't even weigh the same. The foam rubber grips slip and spin when you hold them. These are going back. Going to have to spend more and get the Ironmaster Quick Locks.

I purchased this item about a month ago and am very pleased with it. It switches weights quite easily and seems to be very solid. In other reviews I read there was some concern over the plastic parts. I don't see this being an issue unless you are dropping and throwing these dumbells around.

For everyone that says they do not enjoy these weights, their is someone that does. I am one that enjoys them. They give you more weight than the average adjustable dumbbell and they are a lot cheaper than everyone else. They seem very dependable / 2 years no problems and going.
