Would Recommend with a Few Reservations
Works as expected. The included stand makes life a whole lot easier. Having this in my home allows me to work out much more often than when I was with a gym. It has already paid for itself.
Cons:
The dumbbells are made of metal and plastic. The plastic has cracked a few times. I've Crazy Glued it back into place. Not as big of a problem as it sounds.
The weights can rattle when you're using them. Not a problem unless it's late at night and you have a roommate.
The stand doesn't align the weights precisely. As a result, you can't just put them down. You have to use two hands or move the dumbbells around awkwardly until the weights align correctly. Not a big deal once you learn how to do it but it's a moderate annoyance.
Can't drop them! This is the only big drawback IMO. When I'm doing declined bench presses, I have to place pillows next to the bench for when I have to drop them.

so far so good
had these for over six months now. they are a bit bulky and have plastic locking mechinism. i don't trust these and will replace them when in a few years. so far they do great job, and has a great grip. i'm giving it a 3 star because of the plastic locks which will wear down eventually. which also leads me to believe that it is over priced.

Very Impressed!
I am very happy with these dumbells.
I bought these instead of the Bowflex, because they come with a stand, are heavier, and seemed to be sturdier.
I can't be more pleased. They are easy to adjust, and the stand is suprisingly sturdy and high quality. I haven't had any issues with the weight not locking into place, or falling off - the mechanism seems very sturdy and I don't foresee any problems in the future with them under normal usage.
I'm glad I got these instead of the Bowflex - the stand is handy and the dumbells are very nice.

20lb weight falls off
The 20lb weight on one of the dumbbells fell off 3 times in one set of 20 reps. The plastic locking mechanism is not very well thought out or perhaps this one is just defective. I will contact the manufacturer and update on their customer service.

The Most Bang for your Buck
These are great, and the best price on the like to be found anywhere. They have a wider range of weight than most any for the price. They also come as a pair, with a stand (you can leave the smaller stands on the floor, unattached to the frame stand if you don't have room) all included, unlike most of this sort. I've been using them for a couple of weeks, and they're remaining quite sturdy.
The rubber covered grip with flat sides is actually innovative and underrated, keeping them aligned for replacement on the stand for readjustment, and it's quite comfortable.
The dumbell frames are solid, hard plasic held together by bolts, so it could be disassembled if replacement parts are ever needed (I don't know if they're available though) or tightening required. The adjustment switches (red) are a more flexible plastic, but thick and durable. The weights themselves are black painted iron. The stand is metal and solid, quick to assemble, with the actual weight rests, which could be used seperately if you don't have room for the stand, are a solid plastic. The dumbells have idiot proof diagrams on them by the switches for reference when adjusting to the desired weight.
The "2.5 lb. adjustment" isn't quite accurate. They are really adjustable in 5 lb. increments; 2.5 lbs. on each side of the dumbell. So, you could adjust them in 2.5 lb. increments, but they'd be 2.5 lbs. off-balance.
If you want the convenience of adjustable dumbells with a wide range of weight and you're on a budget, these are without a doubt the ones to get.
