Bowflex Select Tech Dumbbells

The bowflex select tech dumbbells is a quick change dumbbell set from Nautilus, and they’re a great piece of exercise equipment for those who have little space available in their homes. Here are some of the pros and cons of the bowflex selecttech dumbbells:

Pros

• Weight plates are covered with a plastic shell that prevents rusting
• Locking mechanism on the bowflex dumbbells are sturdy (although the selecttech dumbbells should not be dropped!)
• You can increase the weight by 2.5lbs for the lighter loads and 5lbs for the higher loads.

Cons

• Plastic coating on the select tech bowflex dumbbells can scratch while you’re sliding the weight in and out of the base.
• As with most bowflex equipment, the selecttech dumbbells are expensive.
• Because you have to align the weight plates properly to the base, it may become difficult to place the dumbbell back into the base after an intense workout
• The Bowflex adjustable dumbbells have a long and fixed dumbbell length that can prevent you from performing exercises properly, such as the bicep curls.

Overall, although the selecttech dumbbells by bowflex are expensive, they are still an excellent adjustable dumbbell set. With its minimal space requirements, and the dial-a-weight feature, you can get an effective workout without the clutter of multiple fixed weight dumbbells, and without the hassles of change plates of plate loaded adjustable dumbbells.
