1. small footprint in an apartment - plates stack up neatly and are appropriately small in size
2. similar length and hand grip to the hex dumbbells - a key decision factor as I didn't want to compromise my range of motions
3. No plastic parts and locks securely each time while still allowing relatively easy and fast changes
4. 75lbs should last me quite a while and would be useful when I go heavier for legs or single dumbbell workouts
5. It's square design allows excellent grip by the sides for such workouts.
6. Can do plank rows unlike rounded designs or those that can support your body weight
6. Fairly granular weight increments of 10lbs (only 1 pair for 2.5lbs plates for each side in package; rest are 5lbs plates)
Overall, very happy with my decision. Hope it doesn't rust. - Excellent piece of gym equipment

You can feel the build quality and I appreciate the ability to change weight by just adjusting one large metal pin.
I find the simple almost minimalist design very nice and elegant.
The space that I have saved is also a big plus point.
I would recommend this as a good balance between space and range of weights that you need. - Solid and good value for money

The dumbbell handles feel solid, just like those in good commercial gyms, and the plates do not shake and move about too much during exercise. I still do tighten the screws between every set, but it's not really necessary. In terms of the ease of changing the weights, it's definitely not going to be as quick as the PowerBlock, so it's going to be tough if you are looking to do things like drop sets... however, for regular pyramid sets, it's not an issue.
Overall, it's very good value for money given the poundage and quality you are getting. - Get this 75lbs instead of 45lbs

Bought the IM dumbbells in August 2015 and till now they are still holding on well although there is a bit of rust at the side. I reckon it could be removed with chemicals but it is too little to bother me. I bought this 75lbs ones because the 45lbs ones were out of stock at that time. For those who are considering the 45lbs ones, i recommend going for the 75lbs set because they are only $100 more. Till now i have yet to use all the plates because i am still not a very strong guy but i think the 75lbs set are more valued for money. As you grow stronger, you can use them all one day. If not you can sell your additional plates to people who needs them.
I'm still happy with my dumbbells. Still stable and not shaky. Now i'm thinking if i should purchase the stand. Been using a mini wooden shelf as my "dumbbells stand" still. - Good for building functional strength

Rating - Ironmaster 75lbs

I like the ironmaster a lot due to the following reasons:
1. Save space vs getting dozens of different Dumbbells
2. Cost saving. As weights get heavier, conventional Dumbbells cost increase exponentially.
3. Durable. Compared to other similar products, the ironmaster is the most hardy without the fanciful stuff.
4. Appealing. This pair of Dumbbells looks like an art piece in my gym.
5. Last but not least, I bought it at a discount. With the discounted price, it's the prominent winner among my other choices. - Decent Interchangeable Dumbell

- Does not come with a rubberized grip, so to avoid callus, gym gloves are needed.
- There might be gaps in between weight plates, would expect a higher tolerance and quality for the price
- One of the most, if not the most expensive interchangeable dumbell in the market.
Pros:
- Good small footprint, with no "edges".
- Sturdy, with not many moving parts.
- Most rugged "quick change" dumbell in the market today.
If you've got the cash, this is a good dumbell to have. Unfortunately, for thrice the price of a "regular dumbell", you would expect a better tolerance/ quality/ finish to it. Ironmaster's really cashing in on their patented design. :) - Good set of iron

(1) I'm not a bodybuilder.
Pros:
(1) Compact.
(2) Heavy Duty.
(3) Firm Handle Grip.
(4) Superb Locking Mechanism.
(5) Stylish.
Cons:
(1) The price. OMG. The price.
(2) Took me awhile to figure out how to change the weights quickly. After watching a youtube video, I realise you're supposed to align the v-shaped hole of the screw and the weight plates.
Overall, I had no regrets purchasing the IronMaster. Cancelled my expensive gym membership and now only visit the community clubs for leg days instead. - Excellent product. Not cheap though

Delivery was very fast. I placed my order on a Thurs evening and it was delivered on Sat, before noon.
The Dumbbells
The dumbbells are solid, compact and feels unbreakable especially when compared to other quick adjust dumbbells out there. Adding/Removing the plates is fast - about 30 seconds per dumbell for me. But compared to others such as bowflex, it does take longer and could possibly less convenient when exhausted because you will still need to physically move the plates around. The machined grip is also very good and the size is just right for me. I also appreciate its square shape as it means it will stay wherever I rest it. I also feel more at ease knowing I've purchased this from an authorised distributor.
"Cons"
- price. There are definitely much cheaper sets out there but not as compact and fast to change.
- the plates are not in round figures of kg (2.2kg and 1.1kg)
- the dumbbells came with some light scratches on the knobs. Doesnt bother me but perfectionists may be bothered.
- 75lbs per side is plenty for me to build functional strength but I imagine those into serious weight lifting will have to shell out more for the add on kit.

-Feels solid & unbreakable.
-Compact size for its weight.
-Firm knurled grip.
Cons:
-Can't go beyond 75LBs without getting the extension add-on kit with the longer screws.
-Aligning the screws could be tricky some times, some fiddling is needed to make the locking mechanism work. Frustrating & time-wasting especially in a drop-set.
-This is a more of a personal preference but I wish these were made in round figures in kilograms instead of pounds.
Good purchase overall but the add-on kit is inevitable if you're a serious lifter. Prepare your wallets. - Good and Sturdy

I really like the quick lock system, because it really speeds up the process of changing the weights of the dumbbell
Delivery was extremely fast as well! It delivered 1 day later which was very good.
Overall a very pleasant experience and good investment. - NO REGRETS FOR GREAT PRODUCT

First of all, this pair of dumbbell is real good! The grip and thickness of handle is just right and makes you feel strong while holding it. A compact dumbbell with short length as compared to its alternatives (of adjustable dumbbells). Square shape to prevent rolling over and you can use it as push up handle because of it.
I weighed every single weight plates and every one of them is as stated. However one dumbbell handle (and screw) is 0.1kg heavier and another one is 0.2kg heavier. This is not important to me and I think this is already quite impressive to have every single weight plate the exact weight as stated which might not be the case for other dumbbells. Very satisfied.
Stand is easy to assemble but might take quite a while (about 40 mins?). All you need is a screwdriver to assemble it.
Both dumbbell and stand are aesthetically pleasing (IMO).
Service
A day after I send my order, I received calls to schedule delivery with me in the same week. Very efficient!
<<The following is a minor delivery hiccup. It is the factor that made me withhold the 5th star. If you are only interested in the product, you can stop reading here.>>
Delivery Hiccups
Delivery was made on time. The delivery comes in 3 small and compact boxes. I find it strange how they are able to fit a whole stand into these small boxes so I asked "2 dumbbells and a stand right?". The delivery man answered "yes". I even commented "wah so small ah" and asked if they help to assemble the stand. He said no because the stand is meant to be self assembled.
After that I immediately open the boxes and realize the stand is not in there and there is only 2 dumbbells. I immediately called the homegym hotline (within 5 minutes after delivery). I could not get through as someone was contacting them as well. After 15 minutes I got through and I explained the situation. The person promised to call back another 15 mins later.
15 mins later, the person told me they are already at Boon Keng so might have to schedule the delivery of the stand tomorrow. She then continued to say maybe can ask if they can deliver later. I prompted her to clarify with the deliveryman. She said she will call me back shortly again to confirm.
Feeling unjustified, I called back again to explain that I actually clarified with the deliveryman that if there is a stand. I even cleared this day just to receive the dumbbell. It does not feel right for me to clear up another afternoon to compensate for their mistake. Besides, Boon Keng is not that far from Serangoon. I then suggested that if possible, the deliveryman can come deliver my stand after all their delivery. I am free the remaining of the whole day ( it was about 6+pm then). Call ended.
After about 20 mins, another guy which I believe is in a higher position explained to me that the deliveryman did not even put the stand into the vehicle. If he is to deliver it today he has to travel back and by that time the warehouse will be closed. So the remaining option is only the next day. I am satisfied with this explanation and scheduled the delivery on the next day and the delivery is done.
Note: Throughout all the phone calls, I remained polite, respectful and did not use an aggressive tone. The staffs were polite and respectful too.
<<end of hiccup story>>
Summary
I am perfectly fine if there is a mistake in delivery, I just expect a good explanation. The earlier conversation made me feel as if they are saying being at Boon Keng is too far and troublesome to deliver to Serangoon again. Perhaps I misunderstood... But the explanation I received at the end is reasonable.
Product is extremely good. I highly recommend for people who want to keep fit with convenience, little time and no drop in quality of training. Furthermore they are having a free stand sale now! What a good deal!!!!!!
Will I come back if I need any ironmaster equipment? Definitely yes. Reasonable price, authentic retailer and not a replica product. Maybe can improve a little in the hiccup management! :) Overall, I am very satisfied.

Eventually i decided to purchase Iron Master and i am very pleased with my purchase. 1. they feel like a proper dumbbell when i held them unlike their competitor's odd shape ones. 2. the weights are secure when fastened onto the bar and they don't rattle at all when i shake them. 3. they are cheaper than PB . 4. they are made of iron so it's all right if you accidentally drop them.
For those who are still comparing PB and IM, check out this video of IM being thrown on the ground....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRqMJFZUlLg
Purchasing from home gym might cost slightly more than purchasing from USA but if you factor in the crazy shipping cost, purchasing locally is actually cheaper. Besides, you are supporting a local retailer by purchasing from home gym!
I'm now eyeing the Super Bench as my next purchase!

- start with a small profile, length increases only with additional plates
- flat ends
- solid, no irritating shaky parts & no flimsy parts that will break
- should last forever
- handle material is supposed to be resistant to rusting...hope I'm not proven wrong
The best part of buying it here - it's only slightly more expensive than the retail price in U.S. You can never get it cheaper by shipping it in yourself. Bought the whole set, including the stand & 120 lbs kit, as I've wanted to get it for years, but was not willing to pay for the shipment cost to bring it in myself earlier.
