What you get with Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells
On the Bowflex 552 Dumbbells you’ll be getting two weights that look pretty simple. However, thanks to their unique design, you can adjust each one from five pounds all the way up to fifty. Each weight comes with plates that are adjusted with the dial system that is built in. You can start off with five pounds and then add weight in 2.5 pound increments until you reach 25 pounds. Each dumbbell is very compact. There is a five year warranty on the plates with a one year warranty on labor.
SelectTech 552 Dumbbells Score
We would give the SelectTech 552 Dumbbells a solid B+ for the idea, but a B for overall implementation. There are a few issues that could easily be corrected. We have seen cheaper versions on the market, so if price is a concern, that might be an option. The concept is terrific and in theory they sound great. In practice however, they just fall a bit short of where they could be. However, if you don’t have a lot of space, they may be just what you are looking for, particularly if you were blessed with longer arms and some patience to get them dialed in perfectly.

Bowflex SelectTech 552 W Weakness
One major problem that we found on Bowflex SelectTech 552 was that their weight were a little bit too big for dumbbells. While the overall concept is great, they are a bit bulky for many exercises and you may find that they get in the way. This is particularly true if you have shorter arms. Those that are quite big and tall may not experience this issue. We would have liked to have seen them come in a bit narrower design to take care of this issue.
The dial mechanism may be a bit confusing for some. Each weight comes with two and they rotate in opposite directions. This can be little annoying when you’re trying to increase the intensity of your workout and you have to drop everything to get them calibrated. In addition, the plates seem to shift quite a bit and if you’re not using the right form, it can be easy to get thrown off balance.
