Amazon BasicsRubber Hex Dumbbell Hand Weight

I grabbed these rubber hex dumbbells for home workouts, and they’ve become my go-to for strength routines.What’s Great:• Sturdy and durable: The rubber coating feels tough—no chips or cracks after weeks of use.• Hex shape stays put: They don’t roll around, which is perfect for quick sets or transitions between exercises.• Comfortable grip: The metal handle has just the right amount of texture—not too rough, and it doesn’t irritate my hands even after sweat-heavy sessions.Things to Consider:• No frills: Just basic weight—there’s no easy carrying handle or fancy finish, but I don’t need that anyway.• Rubber smell at first: There was a slight rubber odor when they were brand new, but it faded after a couple of days in the garage.Final Verdict:If you’re looking for reliable, no-nonsense dumbbells for strength training, these are perfect. They’re sturdy, safe, and do exactly what portable home gym equipment should do—without any unnecessary extras.

I bought this 15 lb dumbbell set to upgrade my home gym and they’re perfect. The grip feels secure and comfortable, and the quality is excellent—no weird smell or cheap coating. They’re also compact enough to store easily but heavy enough to challenge me. Definitely recommend if you’re building a solid home workout routine.

These are great dumbbells. They feel very high quality, last a long time from what I can tell, and best of all are the cheapest you're going to find. They are actually the same price or even cheaper than most used dumbbells I can find, but are way nicer. Highly recommend!

These dumbbells are awesome. Yes they do have a smell, but it goes away rather quickly. That just tells me that they’ve been wrapped in plastic, which probably helps with not rusting before delivery. Had these over a year now and no rust at all on the handles. True to weight when putting them on a scale. And Amazon had the best prices that I could find. Now I’m just waiting for the 65 pound ones to come down on price a little bit. Would definitely recommend these to others. And the grip is a nice size and not rough that creates calluses. they also fit great on my weight rack.

I’m so happy with this 30-pound dumbbell! The quality is excellent—sturdy, well-balanced, and feels great in my hands. It’s perfect for strength training and really helps me get an intense, effective workout in. Shipping was super fast too, which was a nice bonus. If you’re looking to add to your home gym, this is a great piece of equipment to invest in. Highly recommend!

I should've gotten 5-10 lbs lighter due to the heaviness of this as i was taken back on how heavy it was going to be (30 lbs). Fortunate that i can handle it either way, but would Definitely reconsider something lighter next time for easier handling.Not a fan of the grip as it puts imprints on my palms that almost felt like i got scratched barely once ive finished my reps, which i have to pause to let my hands rest from the puncutring steel. Id recommend putting something comforting over the handle if you were to get these, or finding something with a better hold.It overall is fantastic for a bulk workout, really doesnt play with how heavy it is. Just needs a better comforting handle.

SUMMARY- Took a year but built the whole set (10 - 50)- Nothing beats the versatility of a good set of dumbbells- Stinky and oily first few days (no big deal for me)- Look like new 1.5years later with nearly daily use- Follow gym etiquette and treat them right, they will last forever- Did not confirm their weightFULL REVIEWBACK STORYAs was the case everywhere when COVID hit, my MMA gym shut down.Previous to that closure, I had barbells and plates that I'd accumulated through the past couple of decades.But when the everything closed, I quickly found myself missing the variation and breadth of exercises that you get at the gym vs the barbell setup I had at home. Almost immediately, I ordered a cable machine but still felt like I was missing a bunch of exercises.4 months later, in July of 2020 I found these and ordered what I could -- at that time only 10 & 20 pounders were available. That order was just shy of $95. Expensive but seemed like a somewhat fair trade given that I had cancelled my gym memberships, not knowing what was going to happen or for how long places would remain closed.They trickled in as they could over the next month.I would check the site daily to see if any more had become available for sale. Most of the time they would come with a warning, stating that there were none in stock but would be shortly and charges would appear on CC until they were shipped. I'd pick up a pair as I saw them available.April of 2021 (almost a year after I purchased my first pair), I bought the elusive 50 and 35 pound pairs. The last two I needed to complete the 10 - 50 pound set (incremental by 5lbs).THE DUMBBELLSHIIT, being able to switch weights instantly to finish a set out to complete failure, flies and reverse flies, single arm lifts for core strength, etc. Nothing beats the versatility of a good dumbbell set.Yes, some were oily and had a rubbery smell when they first arrived. I would cut the box top, remove from the plastic bag and let air outside for a couple of days. I'd then wipe down with a cloth and place on dumbbell rack. These two things were never really an issue for me.After a year and a half of almost daily use, they look and feel as they did when I first got them. Please note, that I follow gym etiquette. I don't let them slam against the floor (drop), I don't bang them against each other, I re-rack when done, etc. The highest they ever dropped is from bench after doing chest press (will drop lower my arms by my side and l and these roll off -- as anyone would at any gym). They do fall on mats, or carpet. They've never dropped on concrete, brick, rock, or similar.Take care of them, and THEY WILL LAST you forever.WEIGHTThere are a few reviews that tested the weight to verify how close they were to their stated weights. I haven't checked mine. Honestly, up until I started to write this review I hadn't even thought about it. I'm no professional body builder. I need resistance and these seem to be doing a very good job at it. Maybe if I get a calibrated scale in the future I'll weigh 'em and update this review (but doubtful).

These dumbbells are exactly what I needed for home workouts. The grip is comfortable and non-slip, even during sweaty sessions. They feel well-balanced, don’t roll around, and are gentle on floors. Great quality for the price — highly recommended for anyone building a home gym.
