 Excellent Product January 10, 2009
These are the best dumbbells I have ever seen - and it isn't even close. They are very easy to use and very well-made. I have a shoulder injury so I particularly like the fact that any shoulder exercise done with these can be done independent of the other hand/arm/shoulder. I highly recommend these weights.
 Easily breaks! December 27, 2008

These selecttech 1090 dumbbells may break at higher weight settings. The dumbbells are not entirely made of metal. The discs holding the weight plates in place are quite fragile. I used the dumbbells at 75 lbs. each, and the discs holding the heaviest plates on both dumbbells are breaking (practically only the discs holding the heaviest plates are breaking). I did drop the dumbbells at a few inches (~3-5 in.) high though, at 75 lbs. each for benching. However, the manual claims that I may drop the dumbbells below a foot high (~12 in.).
The bench and stand by bowflex are great, however. However, I should have went with the dumbbells by ironmaster, which seems like I may drop them. Note that the bowflex dumbbells can switch weight settings quite faster than the much more durable dumbbells by ironmaster.
P.S. I work out in-door, and I dropped the dumbbells on regular/soft carpet.

The locking mechanisim was not working after a month. I contacted Nautilus, the parent company of bowlfex, and they sent me a new handle in less than a week. I'v yet to try it out though.

Fits perfectly in the corner of my office. I didn't get the stand but will be buying it really soon. It is too cumbersome adjusting and grabbing these from the floor. A little ackward to use initially but you will get used to it. The one thing I would complain about is I can't for the life of me comprehend why Bowflex decided the bar should be rectangular instead of round. I find a spend a lot of time adjusting the dunmbell so the flat textured side is against my palm. Also don't like the way the ends taper instead of maintaining a consistant size. I wouldn't give these a 10. They work ok for my purposes and my selection of these is a statement of the limited products out there that have this great a range of weight selections. For the money I think more thought should have gone into the design of these. This design fits the dumbells that go up to 50lbs, but the heavier lifters that would but the 1090s I think have different wants.
Excellent alternative! November 18, 2008
I recently bought a set of Bowflex SelectTech 1090 dumbbells; used. I recently cancelled my gym membership and needed a cheaper alternative to stay in shape. I decided to invest in my own gym equipment; free weights, bench, pull up bar, etc. I looked into adjustable dumbbells (power blocks, selecttech, etc.) but decided to go with the SelectTech 1090s. So far, I have not been disappointed.
Although these ARE bulky, they are do not FEEL bulky when I lift. The grips (all metal) are discomforting at higher weights (i.e. shoulder shrugs at 70 lbs), but a good pair of work out gloves does the trick. Another drawback is that when you lift heavy, it is sometimes a little difficult to place it back in the holder; I put them back 1 at a time with both arms.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I can get a complete work out in the convenience of my basement. A few more things: the dials are great and very easy to use, the weights do not shift and feel pretty solid when i lift, although they are long they do not affect my work out, and i handle mine with care (no dropping!) so you have to be careful with these (i guess the same would go with other adjustable dumbbells)
