Rubber Hex Dumbbell Hand Weight

I have purchased 15, 20, 25 & 30 lb pairs so far. Each has arrived in perfectly clean condition with virtually zero smell. They went straight from the box to the rack, no need whatsoever to clean them first. Regarding smell, they're made in China, put into a plastic bag then sealed in a cardboard box and then shipped via container ship (that slow boat from China, from the old saying) before sitting in a few warehouses before making it to your doorstep. Of course there is going to be some degree odor from the rubber, but it's amazingly minimal with these dumbbells. There is no hint of oxidization (rust) on the nicely knurled and plated handles, and I have found no imperfections in the rubber moulding. Regarding weight accuracy, all weigh -.5 lbs on my non-calibrated digital bathroom scale, which leads me to think my bathroom scale reads -.5 normally. All in all, I'm extremely happy with my choice to go with these Amazon Basics dumbbells and will definitely buy again.

These dumbbells have a perfect fit in the hand and feel comfortable to hold. No assembly is required, making them ready to use immediately. Their length is ideal for a secure grip, and they perform very effectively for a variety of workouts. The strength feels true to the labeled weight, and the rubber coating ensures durability and protects floors. Overall, a reliable and practical choice for home or gym training. I would buy again and again

I have purchased multiple pairs of these dumbbells and intend to purchase more soon. Regarding the common complaints, let's address them here: THE WEIGHT: An online search shows that it is extremely common for hex dumbbells to have slight weight variations; most manufacturers specify an approximate weight tolerance of +/- 3%. For Example: this means a 50lb dumbbell could actually weigh anywhere from 48.5 lbs. to 51.5 lbs. and still be considered "well within spec" for mass-produced fitness equipment. From many of these reviews, Amazon Hex Dumbbell's are only around a 1-2% tolerance, that's pretty damn good. THE SMELL: These things are rubber and yes, they are going to have a rubber smell, all rubber hex dumbbell's do when new and are coated with an oil during the manufacturing process. Put some dawn dish soap in a bucket with water, wash them, dry them and the smell will go away quickly. This will also remove any of the oil from the manufacturing process. SCUFFS: I can understand the complaints regarding deep gouges, chips, cracks and any significant damage during shipping. I am just surprised at the reviews mentioning slight scuffs from shipping. Come on, you are going to scuff these things up using them over time anyways, get over it. Put them to work and use them to get the results you bought them for. You didn't buy them to let them sit unused and look pretty, they are weights. Overall, I am extremely happy with these dumbbells, and for the price you can't beat them. They are great quality and easily compete with dumbbells that are double the price. For what they are the price is pretty unbeatable. Hopefully this review helps you out and covers any concerns you may have.

Amazing and perfect for my home gym, nice grip, easy to use, and fit in my little setup perfectly, nice and rubber so no loud banging, would defiantly recommend to everyone who wants to start a home gym setup, its never to late to start and for only $15 its a unbeatable price grab a pair while supplies last, you will not regret, we welcome you to the healthy side.

I recently got these because I've outgrown my 25 pounders. So far they've been great. They are well made and they are on par with dumbells that you can find at any gym. The handles have really good grip and they feel nice in the hand. Also the metal seems very corrosion resistant because even with the contact with my sweat they haven't shown any signs of tarnishing yet. Eventually I'm going to order more so I can have a full set from 10 lb and up. I think if you need a good set of dumbells for a decent value, these are a good option.

These could easily sale for $15 more per weight, great grip, great actuate weight on both dumbbells BUT the smell is bad. If you've ever walked into a Harbor Freight store and smelled that rubber smell, this is exactly what they smell like. The smell doesn't over power the room, but using them, the smell is strong.

Love these Rubber Dumbbell’s; 3rd set they are high quality; love their grip chrome handles; Highly recommended over metal weights; will definitely keep buying them as I keep getting stronger and stronger !!! Tip; when you first take them out of the box, they have a strong rubber smell and may be offensive to some; I put them outside for one day of fresh air, and the smell of rubber has dissipated…

I got two for indoor sets for when I can't make it to the gym and they fit their purpose! They are durable, look good with a matte black color and the size isn't too bulky either. So far the durability is pretty good and it's helping me start strength training and just overall improving my workout effectiveness.

Bought 2 and use them a lot.

The octagon shape comes in handy if you wanna set/stand them to perform workouts.

Bargain dumbbell, great value for money but as several have mentioned they have a strong lingering rubber smell. After a few days the smell seems to dissipate.

Thankyou amazon

These dumbbells are awesome! I work out at home every day and ended up ordering a second one. The grip is high-quality, and the rubber feels great. Highly recommend!
