NUOBELL

I bought them during the pandemic. I use them every single workout anywhere from 10-80 lbs. They’d definitely bust if I tossed them on the ground because of the plastic, so I don’t and they’ve held up very well the last 5 years. I would 100% buy them again. It’s the nuobell brand.

Powerblock pro exp 100 MX evolution 100 Rep x Pepin Nuobell s5100 Ironmaster/eisenlink Rep Pepin probably the highest quality but there are downsides: cage design, high price, janky adder weight system, sometimes plates bind up. MX100 ranked slightly lower on fit & finish but good durability, no cag

Yay. I’ve had the 80lb Nuobells for around 4 years and I like them. Super quick adjustments. Can’t drop them though.

Had Bowflex Selecttechs for ~10 years, rock solid for me except they're super bulky and are way behind the times. They were super innovative 20 years ago, now they're just old tech. I own Nuobells (not the new S ones). Excellent product, imo, so long as you don't drop them. Someone asked a couple of

I have Nuobells. They are great, but there is a risk of breaking the internal mechanism if you drop them. I used to worry about this a lot, but I've had them for two years and have never had any issues. I would also consider Rep x Pepins and Snode with the magnetic weights to allow for 5lb adjustmen

I don't think there is a "best". Everything has compromises. - Rep Peppins are the fan-favorite and durable but they're expensive, semi-caged, and the weight change system is subjective. Ability to go to 125. - Nuobells are my personal choice but they're admittedly fragile, even the new, more durabl

I have the Nuobells and absolutely love them, but they're not the most durable. Mine have held up fine, but I never drop them, which could break the plastic components, and even though I'm careful, they're chipping a bit. Powerblocks are a lot more durable, but personally, I hate the shape of them a

I have a set of nuobells that go from 2 to 32 kgs in 2kg increments. Love them!!! Pros: they take up minimal space. They look and feel like normal dumbbells at any step in their range. It’s a very simple wrist turn and click to change the weight. Especially good for super sets etc. Cons: you can’t d

I have Powerblocks and love them. Ultra quick weight changes and very sturdy and reliable. If you want something shaped more like a regular dumbbell, the Nuobells seem to be much more highly regarded compared to the Bowflex. The main downside of the Nuobell style is that some of them suffer from bre

Back when Nuobells were all the rage, I had a set of the Chrome plated dbs that went to 100lbs by 10s and there was no 90lb setting. The Chrome was cool and they lasted me a few years before I sold them. I love the Repins but i do miss how fast these change weight.
