Nuobells

Before I pull the trigger on these, I figured I'd ask if anyone here uses them and has feedback. If there are any better looking or cheaper equivalents, that would be nice to know too. I know a lot will say powerblocks, but I don't think I'm a fan of the shape.

bolt has the octabell that is a litle cheaper and its free shipping. LINK
also mx came out with their rapid change(pay attention to weight selection on these, they do have 4 lbs adjustments but that is with the weight not balanced)
LINK
mx does use metal inside so less chance to break the selector mech inside.
also pepin has there adjustable, both the fast series and the really cool handle spinlock, but they are more but go way heavier too
LINK
overall dont think you can go wrong with any of them or powerblocks/ironmasters. nuobells have a very good rep
also could go with the rogue olympic handles. they are really nice too

Hear about any quality issues with Bolt? Those look good.

no i havent. i beleive they are essentially the exact same as nuobells inside.

Good option maybe. I can get those with a stand at the same price as nuobell.

Have a set of the BowFlex 52.5lb adjustable set, but definitely intrigued by these. Can you please update after some use?

My brother has had the 5-80lb Nuobell's for about 18 months now, uses them daily (but never drops them) and they have held up perfectly. I don't have any direct experience with the other brands but the Nuobells are legit.

We have two sets of the Bowflex adjustable dumbbells at our office gym. Got them cheap off of Facebook Marketplace.

I've heard nothing but great things about the nuobells. I decided on powerblocks for my home gym only because they're half the price and I can do everyone need to do with them

Same for me. Was close to pulling the trigger on nuobells last fall but then saw a set of PowerBlock USAs on Craigslist for $400 and grabbed those. Plus trying to buy more American and less China merchandise when I can

I’ve owned a pair of adjustable dumbbells from core home fitness for about 1 year. Very pleased with no issues.

No complaints about my nuobells, purchased 2021 and use 5 days a week.

Own the 80# stacks + rack. Very pleased. Functionality is as advertised. Aggravated that delivery was severely delayed - in the end, glad I didn’t rescind the order.

Have these on order. I'll post a review after I've gotten to use them a bit.
