Good Value, But...
First off, these dumbbells are a good per pound value. I won't deny that. However, I found the "ergo" handle less comfortable than a standard dumbbell handle. This was my opinion, and 5 out of 5 people I asked agreed. People bigger than myself agreed, so I don't think that the added size was the only reason.
My opinion would be to try to find these locally so you can compare to a more standard handle.
One of two boxes was destroyed in shipping (dumbbell was actually sitting on top of a ripped up box when I got home), but the weight was without a scratch, so I wouldn't really hold that against it.
As an alternative, I purchased a full set of Cap Barbell Solid Hex Single Dumbbell's which I purchased locally for the same price as these Champion dumbbells.
None of the 5 star reviews are wrong, and the value is there. I just wanted to add that the handles which are designed to improve grip / comfort aren't necessarily suited for everybody.
Great Value
I've got a whole set of these weights from 5 pound pairs to 50 pound pairs. They're not as pretty as the rubber coated and chrome sets but they cost significantly less. I got these all for less than 1.00 per pound which is cheaper than the average price for other brands. I looked at all of the sets available on Amazon and these were the best value.
The finish seems to be good quality and the rounded grips are more comfortable than standard ones. They weight exactly what they're supposed to and look nice and uniform across different weights.
good dumbells
good dumbells..it didnt matter if the packaging was falling apart..its wieghts what you expect..good price
mix up?
correct me if im wrong but i thought i purchased a set of dumbbells?? but i only received one from the ups guy? wheres the other one???
Great value, and works like a charm.
Superbly designed, no muss - no fuss. WHile the packaging was simply destroyed, no harm was done to these beasts. Great value and would highly recommend. BTW, I would absolutely suggest that you use gloves for excessive lifting. My 60 minute workouts produce serious callouses...
