First Impression Bowflex SelectTech 220
By A2SQ2W9RJQZCSX on 2006-12-09
They come in a 55lb box. When you look inside there is a rubber handle with 20lb weights attached and a plastic stand which is 2-4 pounds. For a person who likes technological innovations this is one of the coolest designs. Both sides have number switches ranging from 2.5lb to 20lb. Each side turns separately so you can vary the weights on each side for each arm. So technically you can have 1.25lb (2.5lb setting on the left) on one side and 10lb (20lb setting on the right) on the other. If you have the same number on both sides, you get that exact number of pounds in the entire hand as the number switch indicates.
This is definitely a great space saver. The selectable weights are 2.5 lb, 5 lb, 7.5 lb, 10 lb, 12.5 lb, 15 lb, 17.5 lb and 20 lb. So that's 8 sets of weights in one.
The manual comes with instructions which list exercises you can do with these and the proper ways of doing them, and some tips.
It also comes with a DVD which I haven't used yet, but it seems like it will provide the visual support to the manual.
Manual states that these things are internally lubricated and the only maintenance you would normally need is to wipe your sweat off with a towel and maybe some mild soap.
I got these free with a Bowflex Series 7 treadmill which I have yet to receive, but I am totally excited about getting these. I don't know if they are worth $200, but they are definitely motivating me to get to some exercising.
Excellent product in my opinion!
AWESOME!

I have wanted these for years (or rather, the original powerblocks) but they were only available as a 50 pound set and were too large for me. I comprimised and bought a reebok set from target that only went up to 12.5 pounds but these were not as quick and easy to use plus they didn't go up high enough. Now they have made a set that only goes up to 20 pounds each and I immediately bought them. They are constructed very well and are very simple to change weights quickly. Now what used to take up a lot of space on my bonus room floor can fit unobtrusively in the corner. I also no longer have to worry about pulling out all my weights to do an exercise video, one set and I can adjust weights as I need them. I highly recommend the larger set for men. But this smaller set is perfect for most women.
Great Design, Great Execution
By A1G9VO3YV1W7TG on 2007-03-25
We've had these for about a year now. They are well designed, the construction is top-notch, and couldn't be easier to use.
And these have an easy grip single bar unlike the other design on the market (the unnamed box design where your hands can easily get caught leading to a serious injury).
I would recommend the stand to avoid too much bending.
Overall, a very cost effective, space saving, well designed, well constructed option for your home gym.
L-O-V-E it !!!!!!
By A2UZU3R8RE1JNX on 2007-04-01
When you live in a tiny nyc apartment with 350 sqft, there is no other option. Form follows function here. It has comfortable grip handles and is easy to operate, not to mention it's got a slick design. My only complaint is that I didn't buy them earlier!
Great space saver 
By A19G5J1DWIMAW8 on 2007-05-10
I bought these for my girlfriend and she really likes them. They save lots of room, and seem very sturdy. Sometimes they stick, and you need to pull hard to seperate the weights.
But overall, her arms look great.
- The adjustability is great.
By A23KCUXH0UO617 on 2007-06-09
This a great set of adjustable dumbbells. The quality is very good and I have liked the set more every time I use them. The ease of adjustment is great. I recommend them highly, however, someone more wanting higher weight levels may want to the neck model.
- Totally cool
By A28W6S445YO0DT on 2007-06-08
These dumbbells rock.
The video that comes with them, like most of the exercise videos is a little cheezy but it explains pretty good how to do some good exercises with them.
Overall I love them. I think I might purchase the bigger set sometime in the future.

Wonderful space saving, effective set of weights for the beginner or those looking for low weight aids. Innovative technique for transitioning between different weights.

Was over $100.00 cheaper here then all the stores I went to. Its a great deal if this is what you are looking for. I also bought the stand for it and saved money on that too.
- Great Product
By A9AGFKGEQH5DE on 2007-07-03
I've had these for about a month now and just love them. I use them two or three times a week and have seen results. They're very well designed and easy to use. They take up only a couple of square feet of floor space, too!
- Nice Equipment
By A2P74SGKRJMM4H on 2007-05-20
These dumbbells are great! I actually returned them to get the 52.5 LB set instead. Both are wonderfull and are well worth the money! The stand is next on my list as having these on the floor can get frustrating trying to move them.
Very happy!!!
- Best Buy
By A1XDE5VZ4N079K on 2007-11-23
My Bowflex 220 dumbbells are the best buy ever!!! I use them all the time and I love them!
- user friendly design
By A1M5D0DG09UGVM on 2007-11-27
The holding trays are essential so that one does not have weights rolling around the room. I can keep these dumbbells atop my bureau thanks to the tray. Having different weights adjustable on just one pair of dumbbells is perfect even if space is not limited.

By A2WAW1RUSFFXQX on 2007-12-07
Fantastic product! These are so easy to use, and a tremendous space saver. They are a must for your home work out routine!!!!
- Go For a Heavier Set
By A3DNZIKW1YNLMD on 2008-04-20
I bought these not knowing the most the dumbbells go up to is 20 lbs each.
That's hardly enough to use. I would buy the heavier set if you actually want to get something out of the workout.
