Scarce: Yes, they took forever - to be available. I have been trying to buy these since the Pandemic began. Pricey: Are they? If you buy individual weights, to 75lbs - not really. Quality and Ease of use: Priceless and Spot-On. I would wait again and again for the quality that came with this. Most adjustable weight are flimsy, and “Shakey”, at best; these are SOLID. Highly recommended. Spend the money, this is worth it. I’m waiting on the Add-On, to get to 120lbs.

I was looking for a high quality and strong adjustable dumbbell set. After using other brands that had plastic components, I was happy to find Ironmaster. Everything is steel and very strong. I like the aesthetics and the design a lot. The only detraction I commonly see is that it takes time to adjust the dumbbells. This doesn’t bother me at all because I lift heavy 90% of the time. I’m in no hurry to change the weight plates for a 70lbs dumbbell press. As soon as the expansion kit is back in stock, I will be purchasing that immediately.

This is my first time buying gym equipment after deciding to make my own gym at home, these are easily the best investment in my health and fitness journey I have made and will probably ever make. Unfortunately if you are someone who needs to do supersets with different weights, they are not super fast to change weight (considering you have to do all 4 sides) which is not a problem for me at all because I am a slow lifter. Still worth every penny regardless if that's a problem for you or not, I can't give anything less than 5/5

I've been using the Ironmaster adjustable dumbbells for around a month now, and I've been really pleased with their performance. After a lot of research, I decided to get these vs the Nuobells, Powerblocks, Bowflexs, and Pepins. I love how these use absolutely no plastic, and because of the square ends of the weights, they're extremely easy to add or remove weight from with the quick lock system. Even though some competitors can be slightly faster, knowing that these aren't fragile and won't break after being dropped is a huge peace of mind. Swapping weights only takes around 30 seconds, which is the perfect weight time between sets.
I'll probably be getting the heavy handle kit in a few months, but for my current level, these are a great range of weights.

If I saw this product in a sporting goods store I might look at it twice. It is a unique design, plates change quickly, the lock bolt is easy to operate. I like the sturdy cabinet that is easy to assemble. The plates are heavy duty, The only real negative is the price. It's a great product but expensive.
John | July 13th, 2022
This is a great set of dumbbells, they are secure, heavy duty, easy to adjust, and have the same feel as traditional non-adjustable dumbbells.
I wish I discovered these before I found the Powerblocks, it is nice to finally have a reliable dumbbell set that does not use fragile and flimsy parts, unlike Powerblock. My set of Powerblocks became unsafe and nearly unusable with all the parts that kept chipping away and snapping off.
I am absolutely impressed with the high quality of this product, and the way it was so carefully shipped really caught my attention and showed that this is a company that cares and stands behind its product. Thank you Iron Master!

The very first thing you notice is the quality of materials used. Everything is clean, undamaged (very well packed), and clearly durable (chrome plating looks of high quality with powder coated weights). I haven't really banged em around much yet but I'm hoping I'm right when I say that I can see these withstanding the test of time and frequent use. Other products may change weight faster (comparable to changing weights on a barbell, with only 5lb plates available), but not with the availability of the additional weight (of the add-ons) my only complaint is that the pack of hardware to assemble the stand was missing the screws for the top platform but ironmaster was quick to respond to my email and send some out. Great customer service and quality product.
Clint | July 7th, 2022
This adjustable dumbell set is fantastic! The quality is incredibly high, and they are easy to use. The quick-lock system allows for easy and fast changing of weight. I have no complaints and would buy them all over again in a heartbeat!

I began my search for adjustable dumbbells with a similarly priced competitive "selectable" dumbbell product - both dumbbells arrived broken on my doorstep. They were not packaged well and their customer service was disappointingly subpar. I could never imagine hoisting those 80lb "selectable" dumbbells with plastic parts above my head after seeing how easily they broke in transit.
In contrast, the Ironmaster dumbbells were packaged very well and all parts of my order (dumbbells, stand, kettlebell) arrived in absolutely perfect condition (same carrier as before). This kind of attention to detail from Ironmaster truly communicates what kind of company they are!
I am very impressed with the build quality of the dumbbells, plates, stand, and kettlebell (and I'm very picky about these things). Everything works exactly as advertised. While it takes a few moments longer to change plates, I find the process to be totally reasonable between sets. The tradeoff for having super solid (no movement) and reliable dumbbells is definitely worth it, and I feel very safe using this product.
Well done, Ironmaster. Thanks for doing things the right way.

Very well built and easy to use. I love using these things, very compact too. I think they are easier to hang onto than even a regular dumbell. It's so nice to have 5 to 75lbs adjustable dumbells. They change out fairly quick. These are one of my better purchases.
Ryan (Georgia) | May 21st, 2022
Dumbbells are much more sturdy than anticipated. Feel secure, and with plenty of handle space. Changing weight is easy and quick. No issues.
Van (CA) | April 6th, 2022
I've been using these, along with the additional weight kit, for over 15 years and they are still working great. I mostly only use them for heavy sets. I've supplemented them with quick select dumbbells for speed. If I could only have one set, it would be these.
M Pen (FL) | April 4th, 2022
Great feeling DBs! Knurling is fantastic, feel is that of a true DB, and the ability to go up to 165lbs is absolutely insane.
The stand isnt the best a little tight when changing weights, much easier to do that on the floor, but then you have weight plates all over the place and that alone can be a hazard. Telling how much weight is on there is not the easiest, but doable.
Pros: Durability, feel, knurling, and overall weight capacity. Solid build and warranty.
Cons: Availability, seeing how much weight is loaded, and adding/removing weight plates when in a rush.
Overall i prefer these over Powerblocks because I need more weight and enjoy the build of these with a real knurled handle. 4.3/5 stars

Josh G (Ontario Canada) | March 6th, 2022
When I see criticisms of Ironmaster dumbbells, it's usually around how "long" it takes to switch weights.
First of all, with a little practice, it doesn't take long at all. I can always change my weights during my rest period.
The other issue you might have is a workout partner, especially one who isn't as strong as you. For me, this is my wife.
So here's what I did...
I have a dumbbell set from 5-50lbs. Why? Lower weights are cheaper and take up less room, my wife rarely goes above 50lbs for anything, if her and I are working out together it's in the lower weights where we'll "clash," and if I need to switch weights really fast it's likely to be the lower weights.
I use the Ironmasters for anything over 50 lbs. I have the heavy handle set (highly recommend) which brings this set up to 90 lbs. I'll probably buy the next weight upgrade in the next year or so. If bought separately, these dumbbells would get expensive and take up a ton of room.
And this works because my wife and I aren't sharing anything over 50, and I rarely need to drop or add weight quickly when I get into this range.
TLDR:
1. The time it takes to change weights is exaggerated. The slight increase in time is 100% the massive increase in quality and feel.
2. Consider a hybrid approach like mine if you want the best of both worlds.

I just received the QLDB 5-75 lb set and stand. The handles, stand, and plates were packed very well and arrived in pristine condition. The stand assembled easily, looks great, and is compact, taking up less floor space than the old 5-50 lb power blocks and stand that this QLDB set is replacing. I also own an IM1000 machine with accessories that has served me well for many years. I recently added the IM2000 bar hooks and safety spotter arms, adding free-bar capability to my IM1000 machine. It’s great that Ironmaster strives to maintain compatibility with legacy products when possible. The quality, fit and finish of these QLDBs and my other Ironmaster equipment is fantastic. I just ordered the heavy handle kit for the QLDBs to make them as compact as possible for a given weight. Once available I will purchase the 120 lb add-on kit for a total QLDB capacity of 135 lbs. Realistically this is more weight than I’ll likely ever need, but one can hope. Hats off to you ridiculously strong guys and gals that enjoy working out with the 160 lb add-on kit!
Note From Store Owner: Hats off to you, Don, thank you for your time and review!
Nicolas (Tennessee) | February 17th, 2022
Solid construction. Simple rugged design. No weird rubber coating to wear off. Grip has good traction that isn’t too aggressive. Now to figure out which of my kids gets to inherit these as they’re probably going to outlast me.
Joe Hoover (AZ) | December 16th, 2021
It has been 14 years and still nobody makes a set as good as these and especially one that goes to 160lbs! I love my set and am getting the heavy handle kit and maybe the kettlebell next.
I do wish they were US made though.

Note From Store Owner: We're happy to hear your enthusiasm, thank you for sharing your comments. We are proud to be a family founded/owned US SMB, and while we do manufacture overseas this allows us to provide a more affordable but still high-quality product that more Americans will have access to -- all designed right here in the great USA.

My husband and I recently purchased these for our home gym (after a long, long lottery process) and we love them! Adjusting the weights takes a minute to get used to but once you do it's smooth sailing. The quality is great and shipping was very fast. Worth the wait of the lottery!
Alex (Arlington Heights, IL) | November 5th, 2021
The Ironmaster Quick-Lock Adjustable Dumbbell System 75 lb Set is a home gym essential, if you can afford it. As a powerlifter, these help to do so many accessory lifts without having to leave the house. While you can't really superset them compared to other adjustable dumbbells, these are easily a higher quality dumbbell compared to the competition. These can be dropped, has the feeling of a traditional dumbbell with space savings, and can go really heavy.
To have that convenience in my own house is amazing. I will want to try and purchase the 120 upgrade kit when I can because it is needed. The fact these have an expansion kit to 165 pounds is crazy. No other adjustable dumbbell can compare to Ironmaster for how easy and sturdy they are to use. I would highly recommend these to anyone that does not need to quickly super set and has the money to spend on high quality and durable adjustable dumbbells.

I recently purchased the 75 lb. set for my home gym. It took a bit to get used to switching the weights. But once I got the hang of it's not bad. I like how sturdy they are and the wide range of weight. I've had a few other adjustable dumbbells that are easier to swap the weights. This set has the most weight and can be dropped reasonably. The handle with the knurling feels just like weight's at the gym.
Kent (MO) | October 2nd, 2021
These are Iron Master's number one products for a reason. Outstanding build quality, durable, and the weight is very accurate! I hated the lottery process but this was worth the headache, in many ways this is the best gym product ever. They feel way better than traditional commercial dumbells and once you get the hang of it you can change the weight pretty quickly. A must buy for any home gym owner!
Jesus Noriega (Henderson, NV) | September 30th, 2021
As soon as I ordered this set, I couldn’t wait to receive them. I love using this equipment in my home gym and it is so versatile and compact! I can’t wait to order the expansion to 125lb and the fat grip. Definitely a lifetime product! And the changes come pretty fast. I wish iron master would create a chart for easy set ups for weight.
Jerry Birch (Maryland) | September 30th, 2021
Everything was packed perfectly, no damage to anything bought the super bench with all the pieces too
Mike (Colorado) | September 30th, 2021
These are very good quality. I was thoroughly impressed. Even the shelf was better than I thought it would be. The plates were all individually wrapped which just shows the care and quality put into these. Will be getting the add on plates once I can win the chance to.
Andre Adams | August 23rd, 2021
After searching the market for heavy duty adjustable dumbbells for many months, a friend of mine introduced me to Ironmaster. In the past I was unimpressed with the adjustable plastic dumbbells on the market. As an IFBB Pro bodybuilder and trainer they just didn’t hold up and we’re not heavy enough to get the job done.
Ironmaster was a breeze to work with having awesome customer service. Once I received the quicklock dumbbells I was very impressed with the quality of the design and the feeling of a real steel dumbbell. In fact, I immediately upgraded from the 75 lb kit to the 135 lb heavy handle expansion kit.
The quicklock mechanism is easy to adjust and makes them the most robust adjustable dumbbell on the market.

I've had my dumbbells for about 4 months now and I could not be happier with them! I had to wait about 6 months to finally get picked out of the lottery but these dumbbells are definitely worth every bit of the wait. If you're getting impatient work on other aspects of strength and mobility as you wait for these, you will not regret it. They are solid and everyone who's tried them is impressed by how close they are to regular dumbbells as far as feel. I will definitely be purchasing the add on kit in the future.
Joshua Z. Sison (2315 Bennington Drive) | July 13th, 2021
Best investment I made from 3 years ago and still is to this day. They are durable and reduce space in my garage. I notice that I and a lot of my clients prefer to place the dumbells back "the wrong way" after a set since it's the wide part of the stand reduces moment arm, especially when the dumbells are starting to get longer as more weight is added. It would be great if they made the stand wider. I'm also missing a pair of 5lbs for my Add On Kit 120lb when it first arrived at my place and I appreciate it if they could send me a pair of 5lbs for it. If I could take off half a star, I would. Overall it's a good product for various strengthening activities. They just need to make the stand wider
William (Ca) | July 8th, 2021
By far these are the best adjustable dumbbells. These are not like the screw spin off ones where you have the spikes hitting you in the leg And you don’t even have to keep twisting them to take the weights off. It’s just an easy 3/4 turn and pull the whole screw out and adjust within Seconds its great for not having to wait too long between sets if you want to drop weight or move up in weight. If you’re looking to buy Dumbbells this is the best way. You don’t have to buy each individual pairs and you have an adjustable pair with a very sturdy stand that goes 5 pounds to 75 pounds. I also bought the add-on kit to where you can make each individual dumbbell 120 lbs each. I love this set and I’ve almost bought everything this company makes. Very high-quality and engineered to perfection
Timothy | June 1st, 2021
I've had my dumbbells for a little over a year now and have definitely put them through their paces. These dumbbells are a little on the expensive side, but are of amazing quality and still cheaper than your average fixed dumbbell set of equivalent weight. Most versatile I've seen. You won't find anything else out there that's comparable. All metal construction, iron plates, and solid at any weight configuration. You will not be disappointed. Customer service is really great too at 4/5 stars based on personal experience which I'll cover in the IM2000 review. All in all, very pleased with my dumbbells.
