Anyone have recommendations on a set of adjustable dumbbells? Need a set for my garage gym and I don't have the room for a full dumbbell rack

Powerblocks or iron master or the handles from rogue if you already have a bunch of Olympic weights.

I have had all three, much prefer the powerblocks over all.

Yes, I have a set. They are awesome IMO. Had them for a couple years now. No issues with them, still fit/mesh smoothly. They’re way better than the Bowflex set or power blocks.

I bought a set of powerblocks beginning of March. I love them. I was telling a friend ab them the other day and it looks like they are sold out everywhere though.

I've used the Bowflex ones and the Powerblock set. I prefer the PowerBlock DB's only because they go all the way up to 100 lbs. each whereas Bowflex stops at 52.5 lbs.

I have the Bowflex and sometimes they get stuck to the plastic bottom. They were free, so I can't really complain much. Overall they have been useful, except for the lightweight.

My bowflex ones go to 90lbs. Had them for about 7 years in the garage now. Use frequently and love them. No issues at all.

Yea that's a big no hoss. Powerblocks have a lifetime warranty, go up to 125 lbs and are just overall much better. If you go commercial they go up to 185 lbs. The only adjustable dumbbells that are really worth it and compare are the ironmasters.

Sure the powerblocks take a little getting used to with hand in the center, but once you do a couple workouts...they are awesome.

I love mine. I only had mine go up to 70lbs. If I decide to go higher, I'll likely get single weight DBs so the length isn't terrible.
