BowFlex Results Series 552 SelectTech Dumbbells
The most recognized adjustable dumbbell name. BowFlex's dial system offers 15 weight settings with 2.5 lb steps up to 25 lbs—but bulky constant-length design and a 2025 recall history on older models warrant careful buying.
Our Verdict
15 weight settings with 2.5 lb steps early on. Most recognized brand—but bulky constant-length design and 2025 CPSC recall on older 552/1090 models warrant caution.
