Final Verdict and Review
I decided to purchase these dumbbells because of their price and cast iron plates but after using them there were some minor issues that should be taken into account too before buying Adjustable dumbbells Reviews 2018 by Titan Fitness. First issue was that the total weight of the plates was 47.5lbs. along with the handles which were supposed to weigh up to 2.5lbs. The length of the bar becomes short when I load up the dumbbells with all plates available. Thus, giving me no more room to tighten the star collar on both sides to feel safe and even in low weights the collars seem to loosen a bit after each set and you need to re tighten them before starting a set. Thisis very annoying and makes the dumbbell shiver a lot while performing the exercises like shoulder press or incline press. When the product first arrived to me, I found that the container in which the dumbbells came was very low grade and made of thin cardboard. The box was torn up due to heavy plates and one of the collars was also missing. Also, the shipping was very slow which wasn’t expected by Titan Fitness. Overall, if you have a minimum amount of budget, then these dumbbells are very much useful and will also save your time instead of going to the gym.
