MX Select Adjustable Dumbbells Review: Better Than NÜOBELL's?

Just bought the mx85 for 599. It was cheaper than nubell. The powerblock was a little over 600 with stage 2 and stage 3 weights. So I bought these.

[@MrRaymondo219]

Also nuobell and the adjustable hexbell I believe are from the same manf. I did not go with them after seeing how cheaply made the adjuster was. Also in work out videos the weights seemed to move more than I would want.

[@glogang3233]

How do you like them

[@MrRaymondo219]

@@glogang3233 I like them a lot, the grips are actually quite nice. The plates don't move to much and I think putting them back in the base is pretty easy. Also I like that the base is metal. The only thing that kind of sucks is the 8 pound increments, but not really a big deal. Glad they go up to 85 for warm ups for chest presses.

[@glogang3233]

@@MrRaymondo219 are they so big that you need to compromise ROM for movements ?

[@gr8form]

I know it’s been 7 months, wondering how these are working for you still. Am on the fence with these but at $599 it seems better value for $ vs some other adjustable ones for 85 lbs, any frustrations with the base for quick weight changes for supersets or drop sets?

[@ThickasThievesLA]

[@peterb2695]

Could anyone confirm if this set will rattle when using it? Or are the weight plates tightly together in all weight increments?

[@Kref3]

One reason why the setting indicator might be good instead of just printing the weight increments: Many adjustable dumbbells are labeled in pounds. I think in kg. and I really do not like to do the maths during workout. On the other hand I have Ironmasters and I actually have put the dumbbells on a scale in every combination from handle without screws over handle with screws to all symetrical plate combinations to full load and now have a list hanging over the stand. So there are always workarounds. I would prefer a system which allows me to see the correct weight in kg though. European Nüobells btw. come with a kg scale instead of pounds. Very nice!

[@andrehil]

The MX85 is now a little cheaper than the Nuobell 80lbs. Are the MX85 extra 5lbs worth it? Or is it still better to pay a bit more for the faster and more practical weight switch of the Nuobells?

Interesting concept. It's still power blocks for me. Mine go to 130s. What's best and a problem with a lot of the other adjustables is the plates aren't smooth. Makes it a bit uncomfortable if you are putting them on your legs like when you are getting ready to bench. Squared design has never been an issue with me. I actually like it

[@jonathangarzon2798]

[@ChadWicKeD]

I went from spin locks with DB Cappers to the Core Fitness Adjustables. I think for practicality and price the Core Dumbbells are a good choice $375 with tax and shipping. I'll be keeping my old spinlocks for anything over 50lbs as I won't need to change weights quickly during heavy sets. The DB Capper end caps are a game changer for those! If I had $$$ to throw around, I'd get Ironmasters
