There are some other high-weight-range adjustable dumbbells that offer 2.5 increments at any point in the weight range, but I’ve found that once you’re lifting on the heavier side (50 lbs or more), you don’t really use the 2.5 increments at all. Since the 552 only adjusts in 2.5 lb increments for the first 25 lbs, they’re exactly the same once you get past the 25 lb mark. The only minor difference of the 1090’s adjustability compared to the SelectTech 552 is that it cannot adjust in 2.5 lb increments, but that’s really not an issue. The Bowflex SelectTech 1090 was built with the stronger athlete in mind so it offers a very wide weight range to work with, starting at 10 lbs and going all the way up to 90 lbs per dumbbell! The weight is adjustable in 5 lb increments, which gives you 17 different weight settings to choose from. Dimensions: 10″ x 10″ x 17.5″ (W x H x L) Weight Range.6-week Fitness Results Guarantee (money-back guarantee).
Bowflex vs powerblock series#
Ever since then, the SelectTech series has dominated the home dumbbells market and both athletes and personal trainers alike call them essential equipment for any home gym. Now, all of the same incredible features of the 552 model were available with a weight range of 10-90 lbs, so even the strongest weightlifters could take advantage of the Bowflex’s innovative new adjustable dumbbells. One year later, Bowflex released the SelectTech 1090 model. Stronger, more advanced weightlifters couldn’t get much benefit out of the 552 model because they needed more weight than the SelectTech 552 could offer. The weight range of the SelectTech 552 maxed out at 52.5 lbs, and you couldn’t add any more weight because of Bowflex’s fixed bracket design. You can easily see why the popularity soared and eventually led the SelectTech 552 to become the best-selling adjustable dumbbells of all time. With the simple twist of a dial, you could adjust a dumbbell anywhere from 5-52.5 lbs in a matter of two or three seconds. No longer did you have to take dumbbells apart and add or remove the weight plates yourself. Their innovative dial adjustment system was the first of its kind, and drastically reduced the time it took change weights. When Bowflex released the SelectTech 552 in the late 2000’s, they were a total hit and flew off the shelves. My brother brought home a pair of the 1090’s about a month ago and we’ve been using them frequently, so I wanted to put together a SelectTech 1090 review to help anyone who might be in the market.
They look nearly identical, and the SelectTech 1090 utilizes the same groundbreaking dial adjustment system that made the 552 the best-selling adjustable dumbbells on the market. Think of the 1090 as the big brother to the 552. The Bowflex SelectTech 1090 has essentially all of the same features and benefits of the 552, but with a wider weight range to work with (it’s adjustable from 10-90 lbs). Bottom line upfront: The Bowflex SelectTech 1090’s get my highest marks in almost every respect.įollowing the massive popularity and success of their SelectTech 552 model, Bowflex also released a SelectTech 1090 model for those that needed a higher weight range than the 52.5 lbs offered by the SelectTech 552.
