| | |  | | | Home | | | | | | | Description: | | The Xvest TurboBellsTM is the fastest, easiest and most versatile dumbbell in the market. The weights can easily adjusted with just a flip of a switch. No switching blocks, no complicated dials... just toggle the switch... that's why we called it the Xvest TurboBells. A pair of adjustable dumbbells that range in weight from 5 to 60 pounds. Make 2.5 pound changes in resistance allowing you to keep your program going and break through training plateaus. Each dumbbell is made from high-impact ABS and high strength steel weight plates. Change weight at the flip of a switch. Simply "engage" or "disengage" a lever that selects the desired weight. This dumbbell features an innovative "hammer handle" design that is flat on both sides. The grip is made from rubber and is designed for maximum grip and maximum comfort. The "hammer handle" keeps the dumbbell from rolling in your hand causing you to lose your grip during reps. | | | Features: | |

 so far so goodAug 30, 2008
had these for over six months now. they are a bit bulky and have plastic locking mechinism. i don't trust these and will replace them when in a few years. so far they do great job, and has a great grip. i'm giving it a 3 star because of the plastic locks which will wear down eventually. which also leads me to believe that it is over priced.

 Very Impressed!Aug 06, 2008
I am very happy with these dumbells.
I bought these instead of the Bowflex, because they come with a stand, are heavier, and seemed to be sturdier.
I can't be more pleased. They are easy to adjust, and the stand is suprisingly sturdy and high quality. I haven't had any issues with the weight not locking into place, or falling off - the mechanism seems very sturdy and I don't foresee any problems in the future with them under normal usage.
I'm glad I got these instead of the Bowflex - the stand is handy and the dumbells are very nice.

 20lb weight falls offJul 29, 2008
The 20lb weight on one of the dumbbells fell off 3 times in one set of 20 reps. The plastic locking mechanism is not very well thought out or perhaps this one is just defective. I will contact the manufacturer and update on their customer service.

 The Most Bang for your BuckJul 07, 2008
These are great, and the best price on the like to be found anywhere. They have a wider range of weight than most any for the price. They also come as a pair, with a stand (you can leave the smaller stands on the floor, unattached to the frame stand if you don't have room) all included, unlike most of this sort. I've been using them for a couple of weeks, and they're remaining quite sturdy.
The rubber covered grip with flat sides is actually innovative and underrated, keeping them aligned for replacement on the stand for readjustment, and it's quite comfortable.
The dumbell frames are solid, hard plasic held together by bolts, so it could be disassembled if replacement parts are ever needed (I don't know if they're available though) or tightening required. The adjustment switches (red) are a more flexible plastic, but thick and durable. The weights themselves are black painted iron. The stand is metal and solid, quick to assemble, with the actual weight rests, which could be used seperately if you don't have room for the stand, are a solid plastic. The dumbells have idiot proof diagrams on them by the switches for reference when adjusting to the desired weight.
The "2.5 lb. adjustment" isn't quite accurate. They are really adjustable in 5 lb. increments; 2.5 lbs. on each side of the dumbell. So, you could adjust them in 2.5 lb. increments, but they'd be 2.5 lbs. off-balance.
If you want the convenience of adjustable dumbells with a wide range of weight and you're on a budget, these are without a doubt the ones to get.

Turbo BellsJun 17, 2008
Turbo Bell Adjustable Weight Dumbbell with Stand, TB560
There are no good sites that review this item! You can't try them out in any stores either. I tried the Bowflex adjustables and the gold's gym adjustables and a few others...the Bowflex was all broken and wouldn't work for the store demo and the others were not sturdy and the plates seemed like they would fall on your head. The turbo bells are definitely the most sturdy and easy to use that i have tried. and they are the heaviest. The ironmasters seemed like they would be the best..but they are the most. Besides the two parts for the stand that I don't know what to do with it is a very sturdy stand and seems to be a good product. this replaces like 23 sets of dumbells..imagine paying for all that. If i grow out of these then I will just by dumbells by the set after 60lbs. That will be a while though....
