Do away with your space-consuming dumbbells and consolidate to a single pair with the Stamina Versa-Bell II adjustable dumbbells. Offering a series of weight settings from 5 to 25 pounds (in 2.5-pound increments), the Versa-Bell II units do the work of nine sets of dumbbells in one, so you don't need to dedicate more than a few feet of space to your workout area. Each innovative Versa-Bell II dumbbell is outfitted with a single 5-pound handle connected to a dial mechanism. As you move the dial, the handle latches on to a different combination of steel weight plates, with a window display showing which weight setting you've chosen. Dial it down to 10 pounds and you'll lift only a single set of plates, but dial it up to 25 pounds and you'll get the whole combination. It's the easiest way possible to save space and money without sacrificing quality. Each dumbbell includes a durable, heavy-duty nylon weight tray but is also compatible with Stamina's SPS Versa-Bell dumbbell stand (sold separately).
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
the lock-on mechanism is a little wobbly, but if your plan is to simply start at one weight and then gradually graduate to a heavier weight month by month, these are great.
But if you intend to make daily changes to the weight (for different exercises, for example), you might find yourself getting slightly annoyed at having to slightly wiggle & jiggle the weights and knobs around to get them to fit onto the bar.
also, the lightwieght plastic tray tends to get wedged to the weights, so don't in a million years imagine yourself "plugging in" the dumbell, flicking a switch, and then picking it up (with less weight or more weight on it) in one smooth quick fashion... You need two hands and at least 10~15 seconds to get anything changed on these.
