Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells
Why it's a best pick:
It's hard to bring up home workout equipment without bringing up Bowflex; they have been producing and advertising compact, space saving equipment for years and their adjustable dumbbells are probably the best of their brand.
The SelectTech's adjust quickly and easily with the turn of a dial up to 52.5 pounds and they feel very similar to a traditional dumbbell. If it weren't for them being a little awkward to get back together while making adjustments, they might have edged their way a little higher on the list.
Manufacturer Description: Dial up results! The power of 30 standard dumbbells is in these redesigned SelectTech Dumbbells by Bowflex. Each dumbbell adjusts from 5 to 52.5 lbs., allowing you to build strength, loose weight and feel great! Compact and durable.

They really are huge, in a way you may have to see to really appreciate; they're around 16.5 inches long and they're about 8.5 inches wide at the largest plate, and ...read full review
