Ativafit Dumbbell Usage
Ease of Use
I found these very easy to use. Unlike other models, when you change the weight dial, it adjusts both ends. Compared to other models where each AtivaFit Adjustable Dumbbell requires two adjustments, this makes flying through exercises much more fluid. Instead of the dumbbells being an annoyance, they easily become an asset and something you appreciate using. Adjustments are straightforward. Push the red button, turn the dial to the weight you want, release the buttom and make sure the dial clicks into place. You then pull the weight out and get to work.
Build Quality
I don't have years into these things, let me be clear on that. But you know that feeling you get when you first start using something? You instantly get a feeling of poor build quality, weak materials, and an almost certainly short lifespan? This does not feel like that. The dial feels tight, when it clicks into place it is strong, materials do not wiggle around or feel lose, and there is no cheap plastic that normally screams "CHEAP PRODUCT". So far in my usage, it seems to be a very high quality built to last product.

Ativafit 88LB Adjustable Dumbbell Pros & Cons
Pros
Size, ease of use, versatility, and savings. I guess I am saying they are a good value. At first, that might be hard to believe when you look at the price. Make sure to increase that value with my 10 percent off link! But go Google a dumbbell set that covers as many weights as this does and check out the price (make sure to add shipping). Then, look at how much space they take up. I love dumbbells as they can be used in so many exercises and offer a complete body workout. But I really appreciate adjustable dumbbells because they can be tucked anywhere giving you all your space back when you need it. And with these, they check off so many boxes. Work well, plates hold tight, high quality materials, dial is strong and secure, base holds plates well, and the grip is very comfortable. So many good things... just a great overall value.
Cons
While there are many things to enjoy about these dumbbells, there are also some items you should consider when making sure they are a match for you. First, is that weight is adjusted in 7lb increments. If you are ready to push more weight, a 7lb jump might be a bit much at times. Probably manageable for most exercises but worth considering. Another item is that the plates can be a little sticky. Pulling the dumbbell out of the base and placing it back in can be a little tight, but as long as you are going straight up and down, it works pretty well. Last, is that it always stays the same width. Meaning, even when doing lower weight numbers, it is going to stay at maximum width. This can make them feel a bit big compared to doing an exercise with a regular 10lb dumbbell. All minor details but things you should make sure would not bother you.
