Comparing The Bowflex Selecttech 552 Dumbbells And The Stamina 50-lb Versa-Bell

In regards to home workouts, Bowflex has really made a name for itself. On the other hand, Stamina also has fantastic prices for their high quality workout equipment. As a result, when people want to get new adjustable dumbbell systems, they do not know which brand to go with. Are the 552 dumbbells the better option, or should you go with Stamina 50-lb versa-bell dumbbells, which provide the same but for cheaper?

One of the main selling points of the 552 dumbbells is their design. They are black with touches of bright red and designed with six weight plates on each side of each handle. Therefore, this dumbbell can often look very fashionable, despite its bulk when compared to regular dumbbells, giving the user a slight learning curve to deal with. The 552 dumbbells don't use pins to adjust the weight, instead you just turn a dial which is located at the end of each dumbbell.

You can adjust each side from 5 pounds - 52.5 pounds. Changes move in 2.5 increments until you reach 25 pounds, and then go in 5 pound increments. This means the 552 dumbbells are ideal for beginners and more advanced lifters alike. The stamina 50-lb versa-bell dumbbells are 2.5 pounds lighter at their maximum and 5 pounds heavier at their lightest.

The new design of the 552 dumbbells looks great but it has met with some criticism because of the lightweight plastic parts between weights, if the weights are slammed down these plastic bits can break. Fortunately, the five year warranty that Bowflex provides on the weight plates helps you feel a bit better about accidentally breaking them.

With the stamina 50-lb versa-bell dumbbells you find they have an almost identical weight adjusting feature, but also provide a window to show you what weight you are currently lifting. They are less bulky than the 552 dumbbells and have a more modern feel, there are only four silver weight plates on either end.

You can go up 5 pounds at a time until you reach 50 pounds with the Stamina dumbbells. Although this means there are less options for adjusting the weight, the truth is most lifters will not worry too much about that as going up in 10 is perfectly acceptable to most workouts.

They are more durable than the 552 dumbbells and you can drop them down all you want. There aren't many criticisms to be found for these dumbbells.

When deciding between the two dumbbells, you really have to decide on whether you want security or savings. Stamina, despite its lower price, actually matches up well to the Bowflex dumbbells, and they are far sturdier. The only downside is the less weight options and they do not come with as good of a guarantee. There is a bigger price tag with the Bowflex, but their warranty is a lot more comforting.
