Amazon Basics Rubber Hex Dumbbell Hand Weight

I’ve been very impressed with these Amazon Basics Rubber Hex Dumbbells. The build quality is excellent, with durable rubber-coated heads and a solid, comfortable grip. They feel just as sturdy and well-made as much more expensive name-brand dumbbells I’ve used at commercial gyms. The hex design keeps them from rolling around, and the rubber coating helps protect both the weights and my floors. The weight accuracy seems spot-on, and they’ve held up well through regular workouts. If you’re looking for quality dumbbells without paying a premium for a brand name, these are a fantastic value. I would definitely buy them again. Honestly, if the logo were covered up, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between these and dumbbells costing significantly more.

These Amazon Basics Rubber Hex Dumbbells are exactly what I needed for home workouts. The 45 lb pair feels solid, well-balanced, and durable with a comfortable grip that doesn’t slip even during tougher sets. The rubber coating is a nice touch—it helps protect the floor and keeps noise down when setting them down between exercises. They’re simple, no-frills dumbbells, but that’s really all you need. Perfect for presses, rows, curls, and everything in between. Great value for the price and a reliable addition to any home gym setup.

Not much to be said. They're weights. They weigh as much as advertised, the condition is great, and the grip is comfortable. Now they make the room smell like a tire shop when they come out of the box. I've bought these weights multiple times in varying sizes and the best solution I've found to the smell is baking soda. This last time I applied it as a paste. That worked fairly well, but the best was when I submerged some in water with a ton of baking soda. They still emit a bit of a smell afterwards, but it doesn't fill the room after the baking soda treatment. Only smells when you're right next to them. Fades after a few days.

I have purchased multiple pairs of these dumbbells and intend to purchase more soon. Regarding the common complaints, let's address them here: THE WEIGHT: An online search shows that it is extremely common for hex dumbbells to have slight weight variations; most manufacturers specify an approximate weight tolerance of +/- 3%. For Example: this means a 50lb dumbbell could actually weigh anywhere from 48.5 lbs. to 51.5 lbs. and still be considered "well within spec" for mass-produced fitness equipment. From many of these reviews, Amazon Hex Dumbbell's are only around a 1-2% tolerance, that's pretty damn good. THE SMELL: These things are rubber and yes, they are going to have a rubber smell, all rubber hex dumbbell's do when new and are coated with an oil during the manufacturing process. Put some dawn dish soap in a bucket with water, wash them, dry them and the smell will go away quickly. This will also remove any of the oil from the manufacturing process. SCUFFS: I can understand the complaints regarding deep gouges, chips, cracks and any significant damage during shipping. I am just surprised at the reviews mentioning slight scuffs from shipping. Come on, you are going to scuff these things up using them over time anyways, get over it. Put them to work and use them to get the results you bought them for. You didn't buy them to let them sit unused and look pretty, they are weights. Overall, I am extremely happy with these dumbbells, and for the price you can't beat them. They are great quality and easily compete with dumbbells that are double the price. For what they are the price is pretty unbeatable. Hopefully this review helps you out and covers any concerns you may have.

Hard to beat the price. However, you're going to want to leave it in the garage or on the the patio for about a week so the odor dissipates. Strong plastic smell....

I absolutely loved this product! After a few months with it outside it still withstand the intense heat in Arizona, it also is pretty durable dropping it so many times. And it is pretty easy to store it. Also easy to assemble and it helps me with progressive overload and it weighed 15 lbs each dumbbell.

I have purchased 15, 20, 25 & 30 lb pairs so far. Each has arrived in perfectly clean condition with virtually zero smell. They went straight from the box to the rack, no need whatsoever to clean them first. Regarding smell, they're made in China, put into a plastic bag then sealed in a cardboard box and then shipped via container ship (that slow boat from China, from the old saying) before sitting in a few warehouses before making it to your doorstep. Of course there is going to be some degree odor from the rubber, but it's amazingly minimal with these dumbbells. There is no hint of oxidization (rust) on the nicely knurled and plated handles, and I have found no imperfections in the rubber moulding. Regarding weight accuracy, all weigh -.5 lbs on my non-calibrated digital bathroom scale, which leads me to think my bathroom scale reads -.5 normally. All in all, I'm extremely happy with my choice to go with these Amazon Basics dumbbells and will definitely buy again.

Well made, sturdy and solid. It's a simple design that matches other name-brand alternatives.

Bought 2 and use them a lot.

Gym quality

Bargain dumbbell, great value for money but as several have mentioned they have a strong lingering rubber smell. After a few days the smell seems to dissipate.

The product is great, same as described on site. Quality of materials used in dumbbells are top class. Nice packaging. Sturdy and durable. No odour found as mentioned in other reviews. No damages found as well.
