I've owned these for about 2 years now. Here's my opinion…
FYI I paid $249.99 for the set of 2 (pre pandemic prices).
After about 2 months of use, the plates constantly started to stick to one another and the screws on the bottom keep falling out. I'm very careful and never careless with them. So I figured they'd last forever. In addition, after about 8 months of use, the plates started cracking and no I don't toss them or slam them.
I still use them but they are a pain since the plates stick so much, so I now really only use them as 50lbs to prevent stress during my workout.
All in all, if you're wondering if $100 is good for a single, sure why not. But in my opinion it's not a steal since pre Covid I paid $125 regular price each. During Covid these sold out and when they came back, Walmart marked them up to $249 each which is insane! But as I said, $100 for an adjustable 50lb is not bad at all, just know what you're getting into with these.
I went with the fitrx, those have 2.5 increments these are just 5 increments. Hitting niche in-between weights helps with progressive overload immensely for smaller muscle groups aka 7.5, 12.5, 17.5, 22.5 etc are all skipped on the Fuel.l dumbbells as compared to fitrx. You can do a smooth progression per workout instead of a jump. For example, dumbbell lateral raises hit your delts and they're not particularly strong. People are commonly stuck on 10s as 15s are the next weight up for them but that's a 50% increase which is notable and don't let you get ideal rep ranges jumping straight from 10 to 15
Reviews are good but some have notes of breaking, I see these on alot of budget adjustable dumbbells though so a bit of a gamble there.
Same one's but were rebranded at Academy Sports for the same price if you're buying a pair. Mixed reviews, I looked at these at Academy, and kinda flimsy feeling. Think I'd definitely think the $349 BowFlex set will be a much better product and worth the extra since they are on sale too.
What are your thoughts on those vs the FitRX from the other deal?
I can't speak to these ones, but I just got the Fitrx the other day. I actually considered swapping for these because these ones are smaller with less weight and the fitrx stay bulky. But I actually want the fitrx more because of the option for the 12.5, 17.5 and 22.5 increments. My biggest complaint so far though is the bulkiness of them. But for the price, I wouldn't switch. Hope that helps some.
Can't comment on these but I have had the Bowflex set for years and they are still working perfectly. The prospect of one bad conk in the head from a falling weight is enough to keep me from ever buying a cheap set. I bought my nephew the Bowflex as well.

Been using a pair of Bowflex 1090s for the better part of 10 years now, and I am definitely not a part time lifter. My dumbbells play a big role in almost all my workouts, chest, bicep, tricep, back, shoulder, etc. While I am careful not to drop them, I've had zero issues with almost daily use. Highly recommend them.
Most retailers have them for $349 right now. Amazon, Target, Wal-mart, Best Buy, Sam's just do a google search for "BowFlex adjustable dumbbells". Here's the link for BowFlex directly.

Powerblocks are the best adjustable dumbbells. A little pricier than these, but 100% worth it because the quality and longevity (lifetime) is worth it. I got a pair for $280, so $140 for each.
I had Bowflex 552s and sold them for Powerblock Pro 50s. That being said, These Fuel will not be as good by default. I know the Bowflex and Powerblocks are a lot more expensive, but i would like to say that even these high end options can be awkward to use. The advantage is less space. FOr optimum efficiency you have to purchase an additional dumbell stand. IMO, The best adjustable dumbells are Powerblock Pros with the rubberized coating, if you dont mind sliding the pin slider for the adjustable system,
In my experience, if space is not as much of a concern, just get a decent set rubberized hex dumbells like they sell at Costco. They are so much more easy to use and have a better, smoother feel when doing your reps.

Um I ordered these and knew within 5 minutes of taking it out of the box I was going to return them. These things feel cheap and loose and DANGEROUS. These things are not worth the risk they feel like they will just fall apart and break at any moment. I would not buy these.

These dumbbells come with a standard 2 year warranty. It's in the manual that comes with your dumbbells. I have the same ones and if you have issues within 2 years the warranty should be used. You need to call the company to warranty items.
I also have FREE warranty extension from Amazon chase credit card for extra 3rd year warranty.
Their is only warranty on parts. No labor warranty.
Why anyone would buy these over the Frontpage deall for the power block sports is beyond me
I have neither but I can see a huge difference in the quality of both products favoring the power blocks.
