I got some used ones. They are not perfect but most adjustable dumbbells are not. I think now that the Peppins are being made by Rep and are more affordable they will be the standard - but even those are not perfect. Comparing powerblock to some others i have tried (Nuobell, Bowflex and Spin locks) - I like Powerblock the best. Nuobell felt very fragile to me, and they only went to 80 pounds. Also, they misaligned most of the time when i put them back in the craddle. Bow flex also feel like they will fail over time or wont be able to handle an accidental drop. Finally, they are large and awkward on certain exercises. For Powerblock, the cage and rattles dont bug me. I do agree adder weights are cumbersome, but the set i bought came with an extra set of handles to make 5 pound increment changes easier. Also, i hold the Powerblock from the bottom pillar often for things like shoulder flys and the balance feels much better. I never tried Ironmaster but i had spinlocks before and they just took way too much time to change weight. I like drop sets and supersets with different exercises and really prefer adjustables that change quickly.

@@EricB03 good point on the straps, powerblocks don't work with those accessories or most accessories in general. Of note, Noubell will be fine with straps, but also has a short handle length and unfortunately wont work with many 3rd party accessories.

The imbalance with only one adder weight might actually be a benefit for functional strength. Not everything we lift is gonna be perfectly balanced. I tote a lot of heavily loaded containers and they are pretty much unstable with various weight imbalances in each container plus a loose, swivel type handle. Slightly out of balance powerblocks wouldn’t bother me at all and might actually help functional strength and gripping ability.
