Our Take
The PowerBlock Elite 90 is a selector-style adjustable dumbbell set replacing multiple fixed weights in a single compact unit. Each dumbbell adjusts from 5 lb to 90 lb (roughly 2.3–40.8 kg) in 2.5–5 lb increments. Aimed at serious home gym users wanting a wide weight range without the floor space of a full rack, it sits firmly in the premium adjustable dumbbell segment.
Key Features
Weight range: 5 lb to 90 lb per hand, covering beginner to advanced loads
Adjustment via selector pin that slides into the weight stack — takes roughly 2–3 seconds to change
Square block design that stacks compactly; footprint is considerably smaller than equivalent fixed dumbbell sets
Steel weight plates enclosed within a polypropylene shell, with a steel handle
Handle grip is knurled steel, fixed length regardless of weight selected
Expandable: the Elite 90 can be upgraded further with add-on weight kits
Our Verdict
A strong choice for dedicated home gym users who need a wide lifting range without sacrificing space. If you train consistently across varied rep ranges and have the budget, it's a genuinely practical long-term investment. Casual lifters or those wanting a traditional dumbbell feel should look at cheaper or more conventional alternatives.
