Universal PowerPak Adjustable Dumbbells with Stand - 4-45 lbs. | The Best Dumbbells 2015

Bowflex 552 vs Universal PowerPak 445 Adjustable Dumbbells

I considered the Bowflex 552's and these, the Bowflex 552's looked nicer, but were more expensive. I was going to buy the bowflex at $280 (at the time lowest I could find). I figured a $30 difference and I would make-do without a stand. Glad I did not, because after using these I realized the stand is a must have, and then would have been talking $170 difference.

Here are the Pro's and Cons that I found between the Bowflex Dumbbells and Universal PowerPak 445 Dumbbells.

Bowflex Dumbbells
Pros.

1. Look cool
2. 2.5 weight increments at low rates

Cons.

1. Cost
2. Occasionally "stick"
3. Need to turn both ends to adjust weights

Universal PowerPak 445
Pros.

1. Come with stand
2. Only turn one end which makes changing weight easier and quicker
3. Less physcial plates so one less plate to "tetris" in
4. Price

Cons

1. Adjust in 5 increments (I have not found an issue though)
2. Weights do shift-they are secure they just slide back and forth (I have gotten used to)

I am happy with the Universal PowerPak 445's and am glad I purchased rather than Bowflex, Based on price and quicker weight adjusting. They also look cooler then in the pictures. The 5lb increments is fine for me, since I had been jumping like 10lbs with standard dumbbells. The only con I can think of is the shifting weight, which I could imagine drives some people nuts. Yes the weights shift, but that are still secure and they aren't going to fall off, I have confidence to do lifts with them over my head, face or crotch.
