NÜOBELL 5-80 lb Adjustable Dumbbell Set

In this nüobell 5-80 lb adjustable dumbbell set review, the short answer is that this pair ranks third of nine in our best adjustable dumbbells guide and earns the Best for fast weight changes label. The NÜOBELL 5-80 lb Adjustable Dumbbell Set is a two-dumbbell set that runs from 5 to 80 lb per hand in 5 lb steps, sells for $769, and holds a 4.6 star rating from 121 Amazon ratings. It suits home lifters who train in circuits, supersets, or drop sets and want a fast change between movements. The set weighs 80 pounds in total and lists item dimensions of 21.5 by 15.5 inches, so you need floor space for two cradles. Skip it if you prefer 2.5 lb jumps for small isolation work.

The twist lock system is the core of this NÜOBELL set: you turn the handle, then lift the dumbbell out of its cradle, which means no pins to pull and no dials to spin. Sixteen settings land on 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80 lb per hand, so the jump between steps is always 5 lb. Powder-coated iron cast plates and knurled anodized aluminum handles deliver a quiet, smooth lift, and the 1.26 inch handle diameter sits close to what you grip at a commercial gym. The set ships as two items, one dumbbell per hand, with listed item dimensions of 21.5 inches long by 15.5 inches wide. The manufacturer backs the pair with a 2-year warranty.

At $769, the NÜOBELL 5-80 lb set costs more than the budget picks in our guide, yet the speed and the 80 lb ceiling justify the price for heavy lifters. By contrast with the PowerBlock sets, this pair only moves in 5 lb steps, so 2.5 lb jumps are unavailable for small isolation work. The 2-year warranty is also shorter than PowerBlock's 5 years, and the cradle has to travel with the dumbbells during a workout. Even so, no other pair in the guide changes weight faster. If you train in supersets, drop sets, or circuits and want a traditional dumbbell feel, this is the one to get.
