If you're looking for adjustable dumbbells for your home gym, there's never been a better time. The market is filled with options that offer a wide range of weights while saving space and money compared to a full set of traditional dumbbells. After researching, I've identified three top contenders: Nuobell, Trulap, and Snode. In this video, I'll break down their differences and help you decide which one best suits your needs.
Adjustable Dumbbell Weight Capacity
Weight capacity and increments are key factors when choosing adjustable dumbbells. Here's how these three models stack up:
Nuobell: Ranges from 5 to 80 pounds, with five-pound increments, offering 16 total settings.
Trulap: Has a broader range, from 8.5 to 92 pounds, with smaller increments of 2.5 to 3.5 pounds, providing 26 weight options.
Snode: Starts at 10 pounds and goes up to 80 pounds, with eight default settings. It also offers optional 1.25-pound magnetic weights, expanding the range to 24 settings.
The Trulap dumbbells stand out here, with their wider range and smaller weight increments, making them ideal for gradual strength progression.
Durability of Adjustable Dumbbells
Durability is critical since adjustable dumbbells have more complex parts than traditional dumbbells, making them more prone to damage.
Trulap: While it features a lot of chrome, it also contains significant plastic components, making it prone to breakage. I experienced issues with the plastic cradle breaking when racking a 92-pound dumbbell.
Nuobell: This option is the least durable, with many user reviews reporting breakage after just a year. It has a high plastic content, which doesn't inspire confidence for long-term use.
Snode: Made from cast iron, including its cradle, it offers the best durability. Snode provides a two-year drop warranty and advertises its dumbbells as drop-proof from up to 32 inches, making it the best choice for durability.
With its two-year drop warranty and cast iron build, the Snode dumbbell clearly wins in terms of sturdiness and longevity.
Warranty Comparisons
Warranties give further insight into each product's expected durability:
Snode: Offers a two-year drop warranty for drops up to 32 inches.
Trulap: Has a three-year workmanship warranty with a one-time drop replacement.
Nuobell: Comes with a two-year craftsmanship warranty but no drop coverage.
Again, Snode comes out on top with the most comprehensive warranty.
Design Dynamics: Size and Handle Comfort
Snode: It's the widest at 18.11 inches when fully loaded, which could affect your range of motion.
Trulap: Features a thicker handle, which might be challenging for those with smaller hands.
Nuobell: Offers a thinner handle, similar to a 35-pound barbell, making it more comfortable for users who prefer a slimmer grip.
Snode provides a middle ground with a balanced handle width and comfortable knurling.
Price Perspectives
All three options are priced similarly:
Trulap: $730
Nuobell: $745
Snode: $745, or $805 with magnets.
While pricing is similar, long-term value is where differences emerge. If durability is your main concern, the Snode dumbbell offers the best value, while the Trulap is ideal for those prioritizing a wider weight range and smaller increments.
TL;DR: Best Adjustable Dumbbells
Trulap: Best for a wide weight range and smaller increments.
Snode: Best for durability.
Nuobell: Offers a thinner handle but falls behind in durability and weight range.
Overall, the Trulap and Snode are a step above the Nuobell. Choose based on your priorities: range or durability.

Thanks for this! Quick and helpful, I'm just planning to buy one of these.
Glad it helped!
The gen 4 trulap has a more aggressive knurling with a slightly smaller handle
oh sweet!
@@thebarbellphysio
Volcano knurling.
I have the Trulaps gen 2 (European brand name). Love them!
Ate they called Braingain? You like them?
@aldincalakovic9645 No, Lioninside.
I've got these - Assassin Goods in the UK
@@aldincalakovic9645 Lioninside (Trulaps version 2). I love them!

Would the mangets not stick to the trulap aluminum? Or would the microgains plates fit to get 98lbs?
@@JayMulah73 I assume micro gains would fit but I haven’t tested myself
Atlas Strength's site has a 32KG/70lb Nuobell clone for $500 a pair. Are they the same quality? Thanks!
I have not used them. But i can't imagine a clone being as good of quality as the original
I'm guessing other brands slap their logo on them, but agree that especially regarding warranties etc.
Pepin has just put all these dumbell out of business

How does PowerBlock Pro Exp compare?
@@leftyrighty6059 i had the powerblock pro 90s and they were okay but the main issue i had with the was that the sides of the dumbells were very snaggy and would snag of my shorts pocket and ripped them. So I i hated the for doing standing curl. The pro 90s were the only one that had this hook design for the weight stack. I think they went back to their old design on the new 100s but they are so bulky that it will limit your range of motion on certain lifts. And switching the adder weights was a pain for me as well i hated having to add and take out the adder weights they were just inconvenient and the cylinder would rolled away alot of the times. Don't get anything other then the pepins they have a lifetime warranty. But that just my two cents
They are way more expensive though, approximately 200 bucks more. Personally I'm not considering them.
Those rep x pepins look cool but are dramatically overpriced, the cage system is a little cumbersome & the pin that holds the plates in is right next to your finger while you lift! I would never do anything overhead with that kind of system!
Can you review the Matrix DB80s?
They look exactly like the Nuobells but I haven't tested them (and no plans to purchase). I think Trulap and Snode of really great. Just got the Rep Pepin DBs and I'll have that review out soon
