Nuobell Adjustable Dumbbells: Models, Weight Ranges and Fit
Nuobell adjustable dumbbells let you pick a weight by twisting the handle, in 5 lb steps. NÜO, which designs Nuobell in Sweden, sells four US pound models: the 550 (5 to 50 lb), the 580 (5 to 80 lb), the S 560 (5 to 60 lb) and the S 5100 (5 to 100 lb). Each is sold as a pair with two cradles.
Specifications below were checked against NÜO's product pages and FAQ on November 5, 2026. To see the current lineup, open the Nuobell models on NÜO's site.
How Do Nuobell Twist-Handle Dumbbells Work?
Seat the dumbbell fully in its cradle, twist the handle to the weight you want, and lift. Only the selected plates come with the handle, and the rest stay in the cradle. NÜO calls the selector patented.
NÜO's FAQ lists the plates as powder-coated cast iron, the handles and cradles as anodized aluminum, and the plastic parts as ABS and nylon polyamide. NÜO also notes that the weight shown on the handle can differ from the exact weight by up to 5%.
Nuobell Models Compared
| Model | Range per hand | Weight settings | Plate system | Length listed by NÜO |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nuobell 550 | 5 to 50 lb | 10 | Two rotating half-weight plates, plastic and nylon parts | 15.6 in |
| Nuobell 580 | 5 to 80 lb | 16 | Two rotating half-weight plates, plastic and nylon parts | 19.1 in |
| Nuobell S 560 | 5 to 60 lb | 12 | Four rotating half-weight plates, stainless-steel connectors | 17.1 in (in the cradle) |
| Nuobell S 5100 | 5 to 100 lb | 20 | Four rotating half-weight plates, stainless-steel connectors | 21.6 in |
Lengths are NÜO's millimeter product dimensions converted to inches. NÜO says the S 560 figure is measured in its cradle and does not say how the others are measured, so leave extra room around the cradles when you plan storage. NÜO describes the 550 and 580 as its quieter, smoother design. The S models are reinforced for heavier workouts, and NÜO notes they may be slightly louder.
Which Nuobell Size Should You Choose?
- ✅ Nuobell 550: lighter work, higher reps and accessory lifts, or a first adjustable set. It tops out at 50 lb per hand.
- ✅ Nuobell 580: pressing and rows where you expect to pass 50 lb. It reaches 80 lb per hand.
- ✅ Nuobell S 560: the reinforced S build in a 60 lb range, for lifters who want the sturdier design more than a higher top weight.
- ✅ Nuobell S 5100: the heaviest option at 100 lb per hand, for strong lifters who want one set to cover the whole range.
Cradles come with every set. A floor stand is optional and raises the dumbbells for easier storage and weight changes. NÜO sells expansion kits made for specific models, so use the kit listed for your exact set. NÜO lists these dumbbells for residential use only.

Nuobell Adjustable Dumbbells FAQ
Are Nuobell adjustable dumbbells good?
They suit lifters who want space-saving dumbbells with quick weight changes. Garage Gym Reviews calls the twist adjustment the quickest its reviewer has tested. That review and a Sports Illustrated Showcase review (2024 update) both covered the original plastic-connector design and flag those connectors as the part to protect. NÜO's S models use stainless-steel connectors.
Do Nuobell dumbbells use magnets?
NÜO describes a patented twist-handle selector: you turn the handle to a weight and lift out only the selected plates. NÜO's product pages do not describe magnets.
Where are Nuobell dumbbells made?
NÜO says Nuobell is born and designed in Sweden. Its own pages do not state where the units are manufactured.
Can you drop Nuobell dumbbells?
