5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2024
I’ve worked in the fitness industry for over 10 years as a trainer and gym manager. These are quality weights with good grips that won’t break the bank. They’ll last a long time and hold their value if you take care of them. Especially since price per pound has gotten out of hand since Covid, these are a great find for the price. Definitely worth adding to your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Rubber Dumbbell

Synopsis: Everything you need a rubber dumbbell to be from a dependable and reasonably priced brand.

I was putting together a garage gym for my girlfriend and engaged in the process of trying to scavenge for dumbbells to supplement the free weights. If you've ever shopped for dumbbells you know they are outrageously expensive and run in a whole litany of varieties, sizes, reliability, etc. What I decided on were rubbers as they had the most durability in the setting of our garage and they would also be the most space-effective. These 10lbs and 15lbs are a bread-and-butter for warming up, doing light shoulder work, arm work, etc. so they needed to join the gym as quickly as possible.

The dumbbells themselves are exactly what you would expect from any hexagonal dumbbells. They don't slide around on the floor, they sit nicely when placed down, they are sturdy, and pretty darn close to being weight accurate (see pictures). It should be expected that these dumbbells will not weight the exact weight purchased as they are not calibrated to that level. A rule of thumb I always tell her, and suggest in any gym; rotate your dumbbell each set to ensure any imbalances are evened out.

My girlfriend has been using them weekly since December and has never run into any issues or complaints about the grip or the weight. I would highly advise you leave them in a place with airflow for a few days though--these will smell terrible out of the box because of the plastic, as mentioned by many of the other reviewers.

Overall you simply cannot beat this value though. The dumbbells are reliable and for a fair price. No need to look anywhere else when Amazon Basics can supply exactly what you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice weights
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2024
These are nice, but they do stink and have a very strong odor. I simply washed them in the sink with some dawn dish soap and that solved the problem. Its like an oil from the manufacturing process thats on them but easily washed off.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Dumbbell but Smell of Cheap Rubber
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2024
These dumbbells work great for my wife and I. The only complaint is that when the dumbbells were first delivered and used, you could smell what seemed to be formaldehyde or something similar coming from the rubber.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality and value
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2024
I bought two 40-pound dumbbells. They arrived nicely packaged to prevent damage. The rubber finish and the metal are both smooth (no metal burrs), so the weights don’t appear cheaply made. I like the contoured handle a lot, it’s much more comfortable to hold than straight-handle dumbbells.
