What are the best adjustable dumbbells for home use?

@mel101 Depends on how heavy you eventually want them to be able to get to and what your budget is.

@mel101 Don't know how much to trust them, but The Wirecutter just tested a bunch and put out a new review/recommendation yesterday: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/the-best-adjustable-dumbbells/

@mel101 I have Core Home Fitness dumbbells, they are great. Just feels like using a normal dumbbell. Also pretty cheap for adjustable dumbbells. Unfortunately they only go up to 50lb so you would likely max out on some lifts within 1-2 years.

I would go with the 2nd gen Trulap dumbbells. They go up to 90lb, have a ton of adjustments and use the same mechanism as the Core Home Fitness dumbbells.

@tabularasa I also have core and I maxed out in less than a year. I’ve also had to submit two warranty claims but they’ve been awesome with their response and quick shipment.

If I could go back I’d buy the nuobells.

@mel101 Lots of choices but this is a good video detailing your best options

@mel101 I have powerblock adjustable sports and are very happy with them

@mel101 Totally depends on what is your training program and goals.

@mel101 Just saw your edit. You can read this article about the Bowflex dumbbell review. Looks like the overall quality is okay, and the adjustable dials are fine, but there are some concerns about the durability since there's a lot of plastic in the material. Overall, it sounds okay though.
