Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells
Adjustable dumbbells that replace 15 sets of weights
The Bowflex SelectTech 552 adjustable dumbbells are a space-saving solution for home gyms, adjusting from 5 to 52.5 pounds in 2.5 lb increments.
Build Quality
Solid construction with a dial mechanism that clicks into place. After 2 years of use, our test pair still works perfectly. The plastic housing feels less premium than all-metal alternatives but holds up well.
Workout Experience
Weight changes take about 5 seconds - great for supersets. The length stays constant regardless of weight, which feels odd at first but you adapt.
Durability Concerns
Do NOT drop these. The adjustment mechanism can break if mishandled. Treat them gently and they last for years.

Our Recommendation
Best for home gym beginners to intermediates who will treat equipment with care. Serious lifters needing 60+ lbs should look at the 1090 model or traditional dumbbells.
