NÜOBELL vs SNODE Adjustable Dumbbells: Quick-Change Champion!

[@thathighplainsfarmer8157]

As a farmer, I hold right to repair in very high regard. After watching Average Joe Innovations video I decided on the Snode AD80s. Being able to purchase individual repair parts along with a set of 2.5lb PlateMates made the difference for me going with the Snodes. Now just waiting on them to get in!

I'm hoping Nuobell upgrades their cradle and handles in response to all these head-to-head videos showing their durability is their Achilles heel. I like my Nuobells, but I'm definitely expecting them to fail within the five year extended warranty I got with them. I'm hoping the replacement parts will be stronger, so it's a one-time replacement/upgrade.

[@enrikoalfaro6724]

I've had my Nuobells for about 2 years now. I don't drop them at all, and the durability has been amazing! No issues whatsoever. I just wish they went up to 100 or 120. That is my only complaint

[@jasonboyko]

​@@zone453no, it isn't. He is totally correct, but if 80s start feeling easier for you, you should start working on mechanical overloading, like keeping a more obtuse angle at the elbow, causing more weight to be on your pec. Of course, you should keep your shouldering a strong position, and make sure your scapula retractors are always strong.

First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. kzbin.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.

[@densortepemba]

A year later - still happy with them?

[@borgers7909]

I would absolutely love it if you did a T-Bar row attachment and/or land mine review.

[@franc102]

It would make more sense for the Snodes to take advantage of the longer handle and manufacture a C-shaped magnetic plate (that contoured around the inner ring) that could attach to the inside of the dumbbell so you don’t have those bulky things hanging off the end. Have them in 1.25, 2.5, and 5 lb increments and you would have incremental adjustments and the ability to go up to 90 lbs. If you paired that with another 5 or 10 lb magnetic plate that could attach to the end and you could easily get up to 110 lbs per dumbbell.

Got the AD80s for 3 months now and they are incredibly durable. I don't think the 1.1 inches length difference is some kind of problem, just because their handles are longer, which is very suitable for my big hands. The most important thing is, it is a dumbbell but not some fragile things, I really enjoy the knocking sounds between plates when I put them back in the cradle. And I know these are unbreakable!!💪💪

[@DANA-lx8cv]

I have had the Nuo's for over a year without any real issues. The stand is very nice too. Before that, I has the Soloflex 90's. I've never dropped either of them in a couple of decades of combined use, so I'm ok with durability. It's not like they are over a hundred pounds and you would need to drop them after a set. At this weight, they are more for accessory work than compounds anyway. I've never tried the Snodes, but I'm sure they are good too. Kind of like picking a Ferrari or Lamborghini, they both are great at the job, and a lot depends on individual preferences. Actually glad to hear the Nuobell handles are a bit heavier than claimed--I've been lifting more that I thought :) Love the dumbbell reviews! Ok, back to my back workout....

[@AnonymousHippo5]

@13:57 Nuo Bell does have wobble with the relationship between the weights and the handle. This wobble comes from a little play in adjustment mechanism. The set I had did have this wobble. I have never held the Snode before.

[@Dean_O.]

Going with Snode AD80. I also think the Snode stand is well designed and solid being cast iron. To me, the Nuobell stand seems generic, especially with so many Nuobells-style knockoffs now on the market. I'd suggest reviews include the stands as it was also part of my decision. I have smaller hands so I hope the longer handle of the Snode isn't a negative. In all honesty would've preferred a rubber hex set but space and cost is a factor. Not to mention the amount of total weight a hex set is 5-80lbs pairs. My gym is second floor of a house and total weight is a consideration.

You are the man Coop! Thanks so much for making these videos. I'm in need of some heavier adjustable dumbbells and have been researching online. Think I've watched around 15 videos already and 80% of them have been reviews by you. Currently using Boflex 552s which I've outgrown, plus they hurt like hell on the thighs when kicking them up or resting them. I think the Nuobells are exactly what I need. The cost is going to hurt a bit but doable. I'll be sure to use your link when I order them. It's only fair since your honest reviews is what sold them to me. Thanks!

[@MalcomMcLeod]

Nuobell just needs a bit more metal construction and it would be the all time king of adjustable dumbbells. Snode needs 5lbs increments and that alone would probably close the gap to Nuobells and consumers buying choice.

[@NathanielDowell]

This was the first time I realized that part of the Nuobell durability issues are linked to the low starting weight, and per the video, they're already 1.5 lbs over the stated '5lb'. Add a bit more metal, and they're going to be overshooting 5lbs even more. Personally, I think adding another pound in exchange for significantly more durability is a fine tradeoff. However, they could make their cradle rock solid without sacrificing anything. It's even beneficial for the cradle to have more weight, so it stays in place as you rack and unrack the weights. I'm really hoping to see Nuobell respond to the durability concerns with better replacement parts.

I've also seen reports of the handle breaking after accidentally rolling off a bench.

In the UK the Nuobell 2-32kg are £699 with a stand costing £159 from a reputable firm. You can buy a set of rubber coated from Mirafit 5-30kg in 2.5kg increments but missing the 22.5kg pair on a rack which is only around 40% bigger footprint than the nuobell stand for £1000. There is no comparison, you get 10 pairs of dumbells that will last a lifetime and take up little more room for less than 20% more. I know they have to pay for development costs and take up a bit less room etc . But really they are not worth anything like what they are priced at.

I had a set of powerblocks, the cage design worked great for some workouts likely overhead single dumbbell tricep extensions with a wider grip. However, it worked against me during other workouts. The power blocks I owned had a nub stick out of the plates that frequently caught the pockets of my pants which was super annoying. I have a set of iron masters which are awesome, but doesn't allow me to do super sets easily. I'm adding the snodes AD80 for durability and supersetss. Hoping the magnets work well.

@@enrikoalfaro6724 there is missing info for category wins. handle is chrome of snode, plastic on nuo, gearing is far superior on snode, reparability of the most likely component to fail inside handle is way better. I had the nuos they were great but broke within 2 weeks of very gentle use. for the price point i would not go with something fragile, if you trip over them while laying out, $800 in the garbage.

I thought Nuobells would be number 1 - until i got a pair. To me, theh are still too fragile - always have to be extra careful with putting then down after heavy presses. As well, the plates misalign too often when I put them away. Overall, I liked my old powerblocks better - although they have their own downsides it was just easier using them since I wasnt worried about about them breaking.

Coule you makena vid about placing a gym in a small garage/shed. The must haves ect?

[@teamspritzer7558]

I am surprised that there was no mention of the 50Ib Nuobell option which is what I woujld get (maybe I missed it), reducing price to $600---also a factor that I like to consider is how quick customer service is replying to queries/parts. On that note, I would like to add I left a message at Nuobell but they never called back--others might be able to chime in on these companies' service responsiveness.

Snodes site shows it has a 2 year warranty now. They must have seen your video!!!

[@jdannug517]

Will plate mates attach to the nuobells?

[@Hash1985]

Are the trulaps better than these?

[@starvin-marvin-the-martian]

I'd be interested in a review of the BODYTECH knockoffs of the NUOBELL.

Which dumbell sets are best for keeping outdoors

[@gabriellundmark]

A big benefit of the Snodes are the 40 kg max weight as opposed to 32 kg of Nuobells (if you’re in the EU).

That feeling when your comment from a previous video ends up in the current video 😅
