Gold's Gym Adjustable Dumbbell & Stand
The Gold's Gym Switch Plate 100-lb Dumbbells & Stand allow you to decide the nature of your workout. A knob lets you choose between 10 to 50-lb of weight on each dumbbell for a maximum weight of 100-lb. Comfortable hand grips make the weights easy to hold onto. A convenient stand keeps the dumbbells within reach and holds unused weights in order.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

dangerous design flaw
Stay away, these dumbbells suck. They have a design flaw where the weight adjustment pin gets stuck ALL the time. There's nothing worse than being in the middle of a workout and having to spend 15-20 mins with tools to try and fix an equipment problem. Additionally, even if you are able to get the pin into your desired slot, they may not always grab the weight, meaning the weight plates can fall out when lifted. I've only had these a couple weeks and nearly dropped weights on my toes twice.

I got these because of the low price, but the Bowflex Selecttech 552s I had several years ago were a much better value for not much more money. Because I wouldn't feel right offloading these on someone else (like I said, they're dangerous), I'm going to throw these in the trash and go buy a pair of the Bowflex dumbbells.

Used Them Once, Never Again
I changed the weight successfully a couple of times then somehow I screwed it up pretty badly, I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get it back into some kind of working condition and then I just gave up. Definitely the most difficult and awkward set of adjustable dumbbells I've ever used. I returned them within 2 days.

Update: I got the 52.5 pound Bowflex Adjustables immediately after these. I've had them 11 months and use them about once a week (when I can't make it to the real gym). Changing the weight is easy and fast. I just wish I had more money at the time for the 90 pound bowflexes because chest, back, and french presses are too easy with this weight.
Worth a little extra effort
I've got limited space (and budget) for a full rack of dumbbells, so I went for these instead. I've been using them for years, and they've worked so well I'll never waste all that time and money on going to a gym again. These weights combined with an adjustable incline bench and an exercise bike are all I need for a complete body workout. I also looked at the Bowflex dumbbells, but they were more expensive and quite a bit larger than these, which would bother me.

I think some people who had problems may have given up on these weights a little prematurely (or possibly had defective sets I guess). When I first put mine together they did not work well at all, but I read another review where switching the order of the weights helps. Well, taking about a half hour of trying different combinations did the trick and my weights work fine. I made sure to number each plate so if they somehow get mixed up in the future I can maintain the correct order. A few of the plates would...
