Consumer Alert! HORRIBLE product!
The Lifecore Corebells promised to be durable (as the plates are made of metal) and to be adjustable in 2.5 lb increments. HOWEVER both promises are false. These dumbbells are made of a brittle plastic casing that is too fragile to hold the metal plates. After approximately 10 uses the plastic sliding mechanism used to select the weight plates began to stick and grind. Little pieces of OILY black brittle plastic began to litter the floor and before I knew it the weight plates began falling out of the dumbbell handle.
Additionally I am extremely disappointed in Lifecore's false advertising that these weights adjust in 2.5 pound increments. They do NOT. Instead they adjust in 5 pound increments and the only way that you can adjust by 2.5 pound increments is to unevenly load each end of the dumbbell. For example if you want 22.5 lbs you will need to set one end to load no weights while the other end loads 20 pounds. Have you ever tried to perform chest presses or shoulder presses with an unevenly loaded dumbbell? It's just not safe! Get Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells instead!More detail ...
