Best for anyone who needs a light 5-pound pair for warm-ups, rehab movements, or accessory exercises at a low $35.99 price, especially those who value a 4.7-star rating backed by 1,258 reviews.
Skip if
Skip it if you need heavier loads for compound lifts, since 5 pounds per dumbbell is far below the PowerBlock's 50-pound capacity or even the Yes4All's 16-pound pair; this pair suits light work, not strength training.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
Not every home gym session calls for heavy iron plates. Light accessory work, physical therapy routines, mobility drills, and warm-up sets all call for something modest and easy to grip, and the EQUIPRO DB-Blue Dumbbells fill that role at $35.99 for a 5-pound metal pair.
Made of metal in a two-piece set, this pair is built for lighter movements rather than heavy compound lifts. Its 4.7-star rating across 1,258 reviews matches the top score in this comparison, tying the PowerBlock and Yes4All, and the review count is large enough to trust that pattern.
At $35.99, it costs far less than the $399.99 PowerBlock, though it runs higher than the $20.12 Yes4All pair and the $7.99 JFIT. The 2,000+ bought-last-month figure ties it with the Yes4All for the strongest demand signal recorded in this comparison, well ahead of the PowerBlock's 1,000+ and the JFIT's 500+, which points to a product moving in real volume at the light end of the weight spectrum, likely driven by its low entry price and broad usefulness for beginners, physical therapy patients, and anyone building a light home gym on a budget.
Pros
- 4.7-star rating across 1,258 reviews matches the top-rated PowerBlock and Yes4All in this comparison.
- 2,000+ bought last month ties it with the Yes4All for the strongest demand signal recorded here.
- At $35.99, it costs a fraction of the $399.99 PowerBlock.
- Metal construction in a two-piece pair keeps the design simple with no adjustable parts to maintain.
- 1,258 reviews is a solid sample size backing up the strong rating.
Cons
- 5-pound weight per dumbbell is far too light for compound strength lifts.
- No adjustability, so a heavier session requires an entirely separate, heavier pair.
- Blue color and metal finish are largely cosmetic details with no bearing on capability.
- At only 5 pounds, buyers progressing in strength will outgrow this pair quickly.

Performance notes
The specs list a metal build at a 5-pound weight per dumbbell, sold as a two-piece pair. That weight class puts it firmly in the light-load category, well suited to shoulder raises, wrist and forearm work, physical therapy exercises, or warm-up sets before moving to heavier equipment. It is not intended to substitute for the 50-pound capacity of the PowerBlock or even the 16-pound Yes4All pair, both of which serve heavier compound work. The blue color coding follows the same convention seen across fixed-weight dumbbells, where color signals the load at a glance. Because it is a fixed weight rather than an adjustable system, there is no mechanism to increase resistance over time with the same pair, so buyers who progress in strength will eventually need a second, heavier set to keep advancing.
What buyers say
A 4.7-star rating across 1,258 reviews matches the highest score in this comparison, tied with the PowerBlock's 4.7 stars from 2,782 reviews and the Yes4All's 4.7 stars from 18,568 reviews. Even though this product's review count is the smallest of the three top-rated options, it is still a substantial sample. The 2,000+ bought-last-month figure ties it with the Yes4All for the strongest recent demand, well ahead of the PowerBlock's 1,000+ and the JFIT's 500+. Taken together, the pattern points to a widely purchased, consistently well-rated product, likely helped by its low $35.99 price making it an easy add-on purchase.

Frequently asked questions
Is $35.99 a fair price for a 5-pound pair?
Yes, especially compared to heavier options like the $399.99 PowerBlock. At this weight class, the closest comparisons are the $20.12 Yes4All and $7.99 JFIT, both fixed-weight pairs. The 4.7-star rating across 1,258 reviews suggests buyers find it a reliable light-weight option at this price.
Can this pair replace heavier dumbbells for strength training?
No. At 5 pounds per dumbbell, it is far below the PowerBlock's 50-pound capacity or the Yes4All's 16-pound pair. It works well for light accessory movements, rehab, or warm-ups, but a heavier set is still needed for compound strength work.
How strong is the demand for this product?
With a 2,000+ bought-last-month figure, it ties the Yes4All for the highest recent demand in this comparison, well ahead of the PowerBlock's 1,000+ and the JFIT's 500+. Combined with a 4.7-star rating across 1,258 reviews, the pattern suggests steady, high-volume popularity at this price point.
