Our Take
The Nuobell 50lb (roughly 22.5kg) adjustable dumbbell is a selector-style weight that adjusts in increments from 5lb up to 50lb per hand. Designed for home gym users who want a compact, versatile setup without buying a full rack, it sits in the premium mid-range bracket, competing directly with the Bowflex SelectTech and PowerBlock lines.
Key Features
Weight range: 5lb to 50lb (approximately 2.3kg to 22.7kg) per dumbbell
Dial-selector mechanism rotates around the handle to choose weight increments
Increments increase in 5lb steps throughout the range
Compact football-shaped shell keeps the dumbbell relatively short compared to selectorised rivals
Handle has a knurled texture for grip, though it is narrower than a traditional fixed dumbbell
Tray-based storage cradle included, keeping unused weight plates contained
Our Verdict
A strong choice for home gym users at beginner-to-intermediate level who prioritise compact storage and a natural dumbbell feel. The shape genuinely sets it apart from blockier competitors. Those lifting heavier regularly, or wanting finer weight progression, should consider the 80lb variant or look at PowerBlock for smaller increments.
