" ... After just four months of normal use the mechanism, which holds the weights has failed. ... This leads to the weights randomly falling off whenever you use them. ... "
" ... The paint will chip, the plastic will scratch up, the stickers will fall off, the metal will start to clank a bit, but you can tell these were made for pure performance over looking nice. ... "
" ... The weight locking mechanisms don’t work and either it gets stuck on the base or it catches the wrong weight and the weight falls after shaking it. ... "
" ... When I drop the handle in it doesn’t align so I’m not able the adjust the weights. ... "
" ... One of my plates came out tolerance and would not fit. ... "
" ... The only thing that puts them at 4 (really more like 4.5) stars for me is the labels are falling off and the handles could be more comfortable. ... There are two small labels on the top of the dumbbells that have already fallen off, and the plastic labels on the ends aren't flush and seem like they will also eventually peel off. ... For the handles, the grip part have small gaps where they connect which can cause them to pinch your hands slightly in certain lifts. ... I didn't go with the Bowflex 1090s because of the numerous reviews reporting the weights falling out during lifts. ... "
" ... The only issue i have had was the name tag decal falling off, its just a sticker. ... "
" ... Wiggle the handles a bit to make sure it locks in place. ... "

" ... It's been almost 2 months now, and I'm incredibly happy with this purchase. ... "
" ... I was contacted by the seller (must have been an email error for the delay in response) and was promptly sent a new dumbbell. ... If they are able to replace the dumbbell and that fixes all issues, I will be upgrading this product to a 5 star because I do really love the one working dumbbell, however can't justify the price if I can't use both at the same time. ... "
" ... This goes in my list of best purchases over $200 I've made in the last 10 years. ... "
" ... I've used these almost daily for a few months now. ... "
" ... I will come back to give a longer term update, but so far so good. ... "

" ... They come in four obviously heavy boxes, packed well with styrofoam. ... I didn't get the stand in order to save space but I'm sure it would make them a little easier to use. ... "
" ... This makes it easy to get out for a workout and put back if you’re limited on space! ... "
" ... I bought the matching stand at the same time, only had to place the remaining weights in the storage tray once I assembled the stand and I was good to go. ...
