Trulap 8592 versus BowFlex SelectTech 1090 Adjustable Dumbbell Comparison Review

I did pay for both of these sets of Adjustable Dumbbells on my own. I purchased the BowFlex 1090 SelectTech second hand and I purchased the Trulap 8592 direct from Trulap. Trulap was kind enough to offer me a bit of a discount as I offered in return to make this review for them. I paid the majority of the costs for each unit out of pocket so this review is going to be 100% based on my own personal opinion without outside influence.

I while back I ordered a set of Trulap 8592 Adjustable Dumbbells to replace a full set of standard dumbbells I was using in my home gym that where taking up a lot of space, I had a significant monetary investment in my standard dumbbell set. The idea behind adjustable Dumbbells is that they can replace a substantial amount of free weight dumbbells, for example the Trulap Adjustable Dumbbells replace 52 individual dumbbells with only 2 adjustable dumbbells. The Trulap Dumbbells offer weight ranges from 8.5 pounds right up to 92 pounds in about 2-3 pound weight increments so you have a ton of weight options. I’ll get more into this later on.

Unfortunately my Trulap 8592 Adjustable Dumbbell order went missing while being shipped, this was not Trulap’s fault directly but by the time it was realized that my order was not going to make it, Trulap was already out of product as it was on backorder. So I had to wait if I wanted to reorder another set. Trulap did refund me my original order but I had sold my full set of standard dumbbells already, so in the meantime I purchased some BowFlex 1090 Adjustable Dumbbells on the used market so I would have something for at home I could use. The good news is now I have both sets of Adjustable Dumbbells and I can now make a Comparison Review and offer my take on which set I like best, or at least what I like best about each set.

So let’s get into my comparison of both of the Trulap 8592 versus BowFlex 1090 Adjustable Dumbbells…

Thank you for the good review! I was debating on which of those 2 dumbells to get and have decided to go with the Trulaps.

5 lbs jumps is an America centric issue. In the rest of the world, which is 95% of the earth population, it is the other way around. My Bowflex have very weird jumps because they kept it at 5 lbs but labeled them in kg. The Trulap has nice 1.5 kg jumps which is simple enough here in the metric world.

Ordered mine a few days ago. If rep x pepin didn't have such a long lead time I probably would have paid the extra money for them. Lifetime warranty and made for durability. Plus 120lbs, but I have high hopes for these.

It has nothing to do with this video, but do you still recommend the inspire FT2??
