Stamina Versa-Bell II 25-Pound Adjustable Dumbbell Pair Review

If you are looking for a set of adjustable dumbbells that work based on a dial adjustment mechanism, you would do well to consider the Stamina Versa-Bell dumbbell pair. Each dumbbell has a minimum weight of 5 lbs and a maximum weight of 25 lbs. Weight adjustment can be performed in increments or decreases of 2.5 lbs, which allows you to gain more control in your quest to sculpt the perfect body.

Due to their compact size, the Stamina Versa-Bell dumbbells promise to provide you with a space saving solution as well. The adjustable weights included enables the dumbbell set to replace up to nine dumbbell sets, making it an economical means of obtaining an all-round workout. The dial mechanism changes weights in the span of mere seconds, and an easily visible window displays the current weight. The painted steel weight plates (eight per handle) are resistant to rust, and a heavy-duty durable nylon tray accompanies the set for quick storage.

More Precise Weight Adjustment Provided

Users were enthusiastic about the sturdy and compact design of the dumbbells. Although they found their size similar to that of a 25 lbs dumbbell, the amount of variation that the adjustable set provided offset the initial price and far outweighed the price a person would pay to obtain the same number of standard, non-adjustable dumbbells. Additionally, the Stamina Versa-Bell dumbbells have a more reasonable price compared to other dumbbell sets with similar specifications.

Many a review was appreciative of the dial mechanism for weight changing. They felt that a twist knob option was much easier to use than a selector pin system. The time taken to change weights also came in for praise, as it took only a few seconds to switch the dumbbells up from 5 lbs to 15 lbs.

Easy To Read Display

The 2.5 lbs increments did not only provide a greater level of precision and control over a workout, more than one review that felt that the display window was a much simpler method of determining the weight on hand. This was compared to adjustable dumbbell sets that came with color-coded weight plates, which meant the user spent more time ascertaining the corresponding weight colors before making sure he or she had selected the correct weight.

In addition to the overall user-friendly design, many people found the textured handle comfortable to grip. A definite plus point for a number of users was how convenient it was to store the dumbbell set. Their accessibility and size also made working out greatly convenient, and not a tiresome chore.

Weights Can Be "Sticky"

There were a few review comments who felt that the weight plates had a tendency to stick to the bar from time to time. The plates could be dislodged or secured properly by shaking or rattling the handle, which can prove to be an inconvenience if it takes place often enough. Others felt that dumbbell balance could be an issue due to the dial mechanism that selects the weights.
