"I've had my Bowflex dumbells for about 5 years now and they are still going strong. Quite expensive compared to some others but well worth the money imo."
"Bowflex is highly regarded for its quality and versatility."
"They are perfect for the price."
"Bow flex. I’ve been using their stuff since 04 and they are still holding up."
"They work very well."
"I’ve had Bowflex Select Tech’s for over 7 years now and still working great."
"Had some Bowflex 552 for about 5-6 years, still in good condition and use them multiple times a week."

"Bowflex! I've been using them for 2-3 years now and haven't had any problems with them."

PowerBlock

"I have powerblock adjustable sports and are very happy with them"
"Well worth it."
"I’ve had the power block classic 50s, adjustable from 10 to 50 pounds in 5 pound increments, for about 15 years. They still work perfect."
"They are a great purchase, and feel incredibly stable during lifting motions."
"I’ve had the Powerblock 125lbs polyurethane model for over a decade and I love them. The 2.5-2.5-5 lbs increment of weight works well enough."
"They seem to be the most durable and took no getting used to."
"I love them. Only regret is not getting the stage 2 extension at the time."
"Had them about 2 years and wouldn't consider anything else if I were going to do it over."
"Love them"
"They are perfect, more compact than the Bowflex's and better built than anything you'll find at a Target or Walmart."

"A bit slower than powerblocks but great quality."
"Ironmaster has much better build quality and design compared to Powerblocks."

"Nuos are maybe my best home gym purchase and I’m probably close to $10k deep at this point."

"They work for me and have lasted over a year."
