Anyone have any experiences with Better Body or Core Home Fitness adjustable dumbbells. These compete with Nuobell.

I hate all adjustable dumbbells because even the best ones will eventually wear down and break. But If you must get a pair, definitely don’t go cheap.

Powerblocks are the only ones I’d buy. Had a pair in my old apartment complexes gym, they were getting used daily for the 3 years I was there and were in great shape when I left

No experience with those but I’m not happy with my Famistar ones. They aren’t reliable with switching weights and can be a total pain in the arse. Better than emptying my savings account on a real set, but they could be better for sure.

I have been using the nuobells 4x a week since November. I use them for 90% of my routine.

If you don’t need the quick change variety just get some from Walmart or academy. I have an older soloflex set and was looking to get a new type but after looking at prices I can change plates instead.

I have powerblocks and like them a lot. Only other product I’d consider right now is nuobell, but haven’t tried them to know how they are.

Powerboats or the new one from peppin if you want full adjustable.

I have the core ones and I’m pleased. Only downside is it only goes up to 50 lbs. So, at some point I may need to upgrade but I am pleased.

Idk. I got the Cap generics, getting the weights themselves from either Academy or Walmart. They're relatively slow to adjust, but they absolutely work.
