Perfect for the price
Finding weights was getting crazy during the pandemic and these looked too good to be true. While they won't be the ultimate substitute for going to the gym, they work great and store easy in a home set up.For the people who say it's a hassle to switch from dumbbell to barbell, that's one where it can take a couple minutes out of your workout. To get around this, I just use barbell only one on day for different workouts and then use the dumbbells for a different day. Just plan efficiently and you'll appreciate the value of this nice little set.

Good when used as dumbbells. Bad smell.
These weights are great, though a little bulky since they have those long handles. I love using them as dumbbells. Like people say, it takes a whole minute to add some plates but they certainly won't fall off and hurt you. I don't use it in barbell mode -- the grips are ridiculously close to each other, unlike typical barbells. IMO barbells are too dangerous to use by yourself anyway.So far they've been durable weights, but mine had a terrible SMELL when they first came. Like a chemical smell mixed with BO. Mostly you just smell it on your hands after using the weights. After a couple months, the smell's finally gone.

How do you forget the Bars and handles
Only received the weights and a random doorknob piece not the bars or handles

Missing piece
Received this item and it was missing the piece that connects the two bars together. That was a bummer because I was looking forward to using the bar.

I like it. It’s good enough.
Good for the value. Uses the metric system. The only down side to this is it has a bad odor that fills the room when you initially get it. The other downside is the weight stoppers aren’t quick release. So when you want to add or take off weights you have to screw and unscrew the stoppers which can take a long time.

Good set of weights. Changing weights takes time.
Overall, the weight set is good. Having weights that don't roll around when you take them off is a plus. Having to remove and replace the retaining nut takes time, which isn't too bad, but could be an issue for those wishing to do supersets.

Seems solid
Product seems fine, but I got Three 2kg plates and Nine 2.5kg plates, (instead of the Four & Eight plates) so that leaves me in a bit of a frustrating position. So, judging by the other reviews, while the weights are worth the price, your taking a huge gamble on your order missing something. It'd be nice if I could get that missing 2kg plate...

Great for beginners.
Great weights. The only thing I dislike is that the rods are Hard Plastic, not steal. The threads look easy to strip if your not careful.
