Weider Powerswitch Adjustable Dumbbells Review
The Weider Powerswitch is a great alternative to a traditional hex dumbbell set for a home gym. I own and use the Weider Powerswitch almost every day, and I have not been disappointed in the least. They are priced very reasonably, are durable, and are very easy to switch between weights. The Weider Tech Powerswitch 100 dumbbells costs $299 at Sears and that includes a stand. Most other sets sell the stand separately for around $100. If you have the set shipped sears adds $130 to the price, so watch out for that. They offer 100 pounds of resistance and are adjustable in 5 pound increments. Weider Powerswitch dumbbells also come in a 50 pound set, adjustable in 5 pound increments, for those who like to work with lower weight. That set costs $149. And for those who need even less weight Weider does sell a 25 pound set. You can buy Weider Powerswitch dumbells at amazon.com or at Sears, but usually they’re cheapest if you buy them from sears.com and have them shipped to the store for free and later pick them up yourself.

But with Powerblocks I truly believe that we can say “you get what you pay for.” If they’re within your budget they’ll be well worth it, even though they are more expensive than the Weider Powerswitch or the Lifecore Dumbbells.
