The Weider PowerSwitch Adjustable 25 lb. Hand Weight was an awesome purchase. My husband and I began the P90X program in January and needed some weights. We looked all over town at different retailers. Comparing quality and prices, thinking we were going to have to spend several hundred dollars. And thinking we would need a whole other room to store all these weights. Then we say The Weider Powerswitch Adjustable Hand Weights. On sale for $69.99, condensed into one weight, and appealling to the eye. We couldn't believe it! We ended up purchasing several other things for our new home gym because...

This is a excellent weight, but it does not fit the family range of lifting weights well. I have nothing bad to say about this weight, it really needs to be up to your preference in in creasing what you can lift over time.
Very good looking. SPACE SAVING. Sturdy, secure, and gets the job done. I don't see a need to buy the more expensive ones when this is same thing.
Have been looking to buy an adjustable set for quite some time..... bought this and have been using now for at least a month.
Friends tell me I'm too critical(negative) with products(and even people) but there is nothing about this product that any can not like. It takes a second to move the knob selector for the number of weight discs to pick up from or drop off on the tray, it's sturdy and well put together (no concerns for accidents due to any possible flaws), ..... it even looks great having the chrome finish. What else can one ask? Did you say price? Well, check around and you will...

Have only owned them for a short time. Bought them for my wife who trains outdoors with a personal trainer. She was lugging a milk crate full of weights around, this is much more convenient. Not yet sure of durability since the endcaps are constructed of plastic. But for the price, it is well worth it. Would be perfect if you could attach a magnetic 2 1/2 lb. weight to give it a greater range. The tray makes it very easy to change weights. A little more difficult when used as just the 5 lb. handle because the weights shift and it takes a little more time to manipulate.
Brought a pair of the dumb bells for my P90X and it has worked great. Only slight problem is the disc may stick when you take it out of the base but for the price, you can't complain. No need to buy expensive ones like the bowflex.
i really like these weights. they really do the job right. these are really easy to use for anyone.
Nice weight set, that doesn't take up too much space. Easy to change weight plates.
I love how these weights can be changed and turned into different sizes. I can start out at a lower weight and as I improve more I can increase my weight without having to go buy more weights. These are also great on space. They dont take up too much room.
These dumbells are relatively cheap if you consider how much you would have to spend on individual dumbells. I saw a cheaper variation of these at *******, but I am sure that these dumbells are made from higher quality materials. At first, I tended to treat these weights very gingerly, but after using them for a while I realized how sturdy there actually are. I recommend buying the weider dumbell set as well. It comes with a set of barbells which you can load different weight plates on, perfect if you need higher weight. It comes with a standard barbell which you can toss on the curb.
