NÜOBELL Adjustable Dumbbells Review: The Powerblock Killer?

⏬Click the coupon links below to save on these dumbbells!⏬



NÜOBELLS Flex Dumbbells are a set of adjustable dumbbells that have been called the world's smartest dumbbells. In this review of the NÜOBELLS, we compare them to others like Powerblocks, Ironmasters, and Bowflex SelectTech 552's.

As you see in the video, I like the NÜOBELLS and think the design is genius. My only worry, and we'll see over time, is that the durability won't be there in comparison to other adjustable dumbbells that are on the market. We'll see...

Nice, like the compact-ness of it while retaining the traditional shape

[mchLko]

I got these a few months back (I am from Europe). And they are really really great! You just need to handle them a bit more gently (as in, don't throw them on the floor, and put them back in the rack carefully). I am 100% satisfied. Perfect for the home gym.

Look way cleaner and more ergonomic than most adjustable dumbbells I’ve seen

Been using these for a year. They sell a kilo set/up to 20kgs and the 40kg ones are an add on. The plastic has held up through repetitive use with no issues at all whatsoever. No issues with the alignment/wear and tear and its still all in the proper place. Used commercially too

If I ever go to his gym and there isnt premium knurling on his door handles I'm gonna be very upset.

[MLLD]

Love the minimalistic and refined look of these. No unnecessary shapes or details. Gives a solid impression.

Powerblock owner since 2000. Yup 20 years I've had them. 5-90 lb set. Paid something like $600 for them and use them all the time . Best exercise purchase I've ever made. Bulletproof.

Thank you very much for your review! We are a Swedish company building something we believe is a great version of our US patents as we also license to Stairmaster, Core fitness and CAP.

[mariojavier]

I’ve hade these for about 3 months now, as long as you’re not a reckless caveman these will exceed all expectations. The plastic does still scare me a bit, but not enough to make me regret the purchase. 10/10 would recommend.

[ramsenrasho]

Do the drop test Coop. Let them bang and see if they survive...

[XGiveMeLibertyX]

Can we get an updated long-term review on these? I went with the power blocks a year ago based on your review and I’m kind of regretting not getting these instead.

[jamess]

I like the idea of the smallest being shorter than the largest, unlike bowflex that makes the 5lb the same length as the 52.5lb

[Rackstack]

Have these and gotta say, I LOVE them. Couldn't recommend more.

Adjusting 0-80 takes like 10 seconds or less. Faster than grabbing a new dumbbell

[AnotherAnonymousMan]

Mine just arrived yesterday. I'm seriously impressed! Thanks for the review!

[metoo]

My only issue with this review from a design engineer's point of view is your view of plastic. There are thousands of plastic varieties with a wide gamut of physical properties. Plastic is often used to PREVENT wear or greatly reduce it where metal on metal will surely wear, bend, scratch, gouge, gall, etc. Plastics are used for impact protection, thermal protection, friction reduction, etc. It's all about choosing the right plastic for the job. Millions of cheap Chinese manufacturered merchandise that have plastic which was selected more for cost savings than function, have made "plastic" a bad word when it's often a godsend with proper design and application.

as an owner of some power blocks i can tell you the feel of the weight for example doing curls doesn't feel the same as a standard dumbell. the nuobell looks like their weight distribution would mimic an actual dumbell. the power block is closer to a Thompson bell from rogue, I believe.

[THEREALTWISTEDINSANE]

Better than core fitness ones!(because they go to 80) Been waiting !!!!

[Ragnvaldr]

Coop I bit the bullet and committed! They’ll be home on the 25th. Thank you for the review!

[RRKristensen]

I did some research on these. Nüobell is from a swedish company. They have for some time been making and selling the previous version of this as “flexbell” and has also created the “Core Fitness” adjustable dumbells (basically the flexbell under license). I have no experience with flexbell, but if you do, their reliability should say something about what we can expect from the Nüobell. In the EU they are similar priced as IronMasters and Powerblock. No significant difference on price.

[SimonLi]

That’s sleek and very efficient but wish they went up to 100s.
