Are you looking to beef up your home gym but want to save space? Adjustable dumbbells are a good option, but some are a real pain to adjust and are big and bulky. I give an honest review the NÜOBELL adjustable 80-pound dumbbell set with the weight holding stand and let you know what to look out for and the pros.

Internals are plastic and they are fragile. After a year of use something sheared inside one of my handles. Nuobell says when that happens, it ALWAYS means the dumbbell was dropped. Well, I guess they are fine with calling their customers liars. The "generously" offered to send a new handle, charge me shipping, and never cover a similar problem again. So, what in the hell is my 2-year warranty for? I regret spending a small fortune on these dumbbells, because they cut corners on the internals.

@earlteigrob9211 26 дней назад

I just bought these because of great engineering and the fact that all the breakable parts can be replaced. When I start needing more then 80lbs I will probably upgrade to the RepPepin but they are not out for 4 or 5 months and I need something NOW. Packaging and Instructions are very professional...more like buying an apple product then the normal gym stuff.

I'm glad you showed how they are packaged

Nuobells I've had for 2 years and use them daily . Sooo nice I love them to this day

@bonprez9981 Год назад

The plastic tab that holds the handle is definitely the breaker for me. I appreciate you pointing that out for us.

@Oliver1071 Год назад

Wouldn't be the internet with something negative. Don't know anyone complaining about issues with them so there's that.

@how2togo Год назад

I've been happy with the weights and the stand. No issues at all.

@1994vmax 9 месяцев назад

What is the height of the stand? Thanks

@EJH-jn6mo 6 месяцев назад

There are tear downs of the handle - def a lot more plastic than that little piece.

@rdaffon23 Год назад

I received my pair back in November 2021. I paid for the extended warranty (3 years I believe) just in case. I hope I never have to claim it. No major issues, and no regrets buying these dumbbells. You still do have to be mindful if you're placing the dumbbells back after a heavy set of should presses for example to make sure you line it up. Minimal "slop" when lifting and weight distribution is nice and even. I am also mindful of dropping them which for 80s max I'd argue people do it in the gym for attention. If we're talking about 110s or higher than I can understand why you want those off of you asap.

Great review. Just ordered mine last night looking forward to using them!

@seanflanagan873 Год назад

how was it and how long it took to deliver? I ordered few days back and they havent been shipped yet

@Sammy91 Год назад

@@seanflanagan873 Customer service and delivery was a pain to be honest. They kept promising it would be shipped the following week and I would follow up and they would say the same thing again. I threatened to cancel my order and called my bank card to start the process. Then they magically shipped out a day or 2 after that. I received them and just wound up keeping them! I do like them a lot, good dumbbell feel. I got the all black ones and I feel like the knurling on the handles could be better. The silver handle ones might have better knurling due to no coating.

@chiyookeynes3007 10 месяцев назад

First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. ru-vid.comUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.

@how2togo 10 месяцев назад

Yes

@theotherrobzombie 5 дней назад

I’ve been going back and forth between these and Snode. I like the Snodes because they’re all cast iron (except internals) but they’re in 10lb increments. The Nuobells because they have the 5lb increments. Pricing are about the same. But the Rep Pepin look REALLY nice, lifetime warranty and upgradeable over time and you don’t have to change the cradles out. Unfortunately they’re a few mos out if you pre-order now. It would be a no brained if they were available now. No idea what my plan is going to be but there’s sales this week. Soooo…

@MalusMartin Месяц назад

One of my dumbells has stopped rotating, loading or unloading the plates. The reason is that the plastic reel inside the handle had been broken. Also the springs inside had been dammaged. Any idea where I can send the handle for repair?

Since it's been a couple of months since the review. How are the dumbbells holding up? I'm considering buying them.

@how2togo Год назад

I've been using them 5 to 6 days a week and they are holding up just fine. I do find myself being careful with them in placing them on the rack and not dropping them. So far I really like them.

@HadukemNukem Год назад

I have seen NÜO retailers listed replacement handles for €90 (Flexbell) and €135 (Nüobells) so I am not worried if mine should brake after warranty runs out. Hopefully Nüo can offer some goodwill and sell them directly at lower price.

@EJH-jn6mo 6 месяцев назад

Mine just broke, few months out of warranty- they charged me $225 USD. There’s no goodwill, only profit.

@snygg-johan9958 28 дней назад

How are they holding up a 2 years later? Is it worth getting the stand?

@how2togo 27 дней назад

Still holding up just fine. Use them 3 to 4 times a week. They're great

@Ryland_28 3 месяца назад

Man, these look really promising but those plastic tabs in the cradle make it a tough choice. I don't think i've seen this part discussed in any of the other videos. It's a pretty important aspect.

@bulletprooff1k Год назад

Is it normal for the stand to have a bit of a wobble?

@bulletprooff1k Год назад

Mine wobbles before the nuobells are on the stand

@Oliver1071 Год назад

@@bulletprooff1k yeah mine isn't level kind of crappy I put a pad under one foot to level it like sugar packets under a table leg. The stand isn't the best quality but the nuobells are great.

@biknjak 8 месяцев назад

I think there is a huge difference between the wobble in the single legged stand vs the double legged one. My double leg stand is pretty close to rock solid. The dimensions are pretty much the same between the two. Spend the extra $10 for the two legged stand!

I'll be buying a set but that plastic tab they should have definitely made metal... The rest i aint too worried about (even tho metal would be better) but those plastic tabs can easily be broken

@EJH-jn6mo 6 месяцев назад

There’s a lot more to worry about than just that.

@cultivatelife Год назад

Thank you for your review! The plastic ends seem concerning for sure. If the plastic bit on the cradle breaks, it seems one can buy a whole new cradle housing for it ($18 for 80lbs. $15 for 50lbs. as of Oct. 2022 for each). I see so many potential red flags however, did you end up getting extended warranty on top of the default 2 years? When grilled on why they use so much plastic. Company states (on FAQ page): "..the resistance and durability of the type of plastic we use is actually stronger than cast iron." Really?! Plastic stronger than CAST IRON. 😂😂

@how2togo Год назад

It is holding up with out any problems

@EJH-jn6mo 6 месяцев назад

BS. My handle broke when it fell as it rolled off my 18 inch high bench onto my padded gym floor while having 20lbs on it. They then charged me $225 for a new cheap plastic handle. Utter crap of a product and company.

In my opinion powerblocks would have been the right choice. There is no issue with plastic, there are so many years on the market and everybody know that they are built for eternity, lol. I am not a fan of this plastic. Plastic paired with mechanics always will break sooner or later.

@un4xttv948 Год назад

Bowflex has plastic discs inside that carry the metal plates. If one of those little disks breaks you're going to receive a plate on the head ... That's why despite them looking and feeling great i wouldn't buy them.

@theodoreboosalis Год назад

There's a better one that Nuobell out there. Snode is the name. I have CF and Ironmaster DBs - love them.

@plmn93 Год назад

Too much plastic. Both in the tabs that you pointed out and the plastic cam followers in the handles that move the shafts in and out. These just aren't made to last. If the handles were serviceable it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but they aren't. When they wear out it's $179 each for new handles, assuming Nuobell is even still making them. The better functionality isn't worth the tradeoff in quality and durability compared to Powerblock and Ironmaster in my opinion.
