SPORTINATOR Machine Dumbbell Set with Case review

The only set in this family that publishes a bore. Cast-iron plates, chromed bars and a full plate breakdown for each of three versions, supplied in a case — and the iron is what makes the breakdown worth having.

The bottom line The set in this family that can actually be planned around. Cast iron is thinner per kilogram than everything beside it here, the 0.5 kg plates give the finest step on the shelf, and the published Ø 28 mm bore means an addition can be matched rather than guessed at. That last figure is worth the price difference on its own — provided the 28 mm is read as 28 and not rounded up.

What the maker publishes

Three versions, each with its plate list written out:

  • 15 kg — eight plates of 1.25 kg, four of 0.5 kg, two dumbbell bars.
  • 20 kg — four of 2.5 kg, four of 1.25 kg, four of 0.5 kg, two bars.
  • 40 kg — two of 5 kg, four of 2.5 kg, six of 1.25 kg, six of 0.5 kg, two bars and a connecting bar.

The plates are cast iron, the bars are chromed, and the maker publishes a Ø 28 mm hole diameter so that the plates match the bars.

Everything arrives in a fitted case.

The figure nothing else in this family gives

A bore. Four of the five sets on this shelf publish nothing about the hole in the plate, which means a later addition has to be guessed at or measured off the product once it arrives.

SPORTINATOR publishes 28 mm. That is a number to compare against.

But read it as 28, not as 30

The common spinlock figure sold elsewhere is 30 mm, and 28 is not 30. They are close enough that a listing search will return both, and far enough apart that a plate can be loose or will not pass.

This site does not round a published figure toward a familiar one. The maker wrote 28 mm, so 28 mm is what the page carries.

Why cast iron changes the arithmetic

Cement in a shell is roughly a third of the density of iron, so a cement plate takes about three times the thickness for the same mass. Every other set in this family is cement or plastic.

On a bar whose loadable length is not published — and none of these publish it — thinner plates are simply more room to work with, and that is the practical difference between this set and the ones below it.

Availability

About 64 € on the German Amazon store, on the one reading this page rests on.

The French Amazon store was asking more than 1.6× the cheapest country. A gap that wide normally means stock shipped in rather than a seller on the ground, so that figure sits outside the range above.

The American, British, Italian and Spanish Amazon catalogues list the reference with nobody selling behind it.

Strengths

  • The bore is published — Ø 28 mm — and it is the only set in this family that gives one
  • Full plate breakdown published for all three versions, down to 0.5 kg
  • Cast iron rather than cement, so the plates are far thinner per kilogram

Compromises

  • No bar length and no handle diameter published
  • Ø 28 mm is not the 30 mm figure most spinlock plates are sold against, so extension needs care
  • Cast iron marks a floor in a way the cement sets in this family do not

What buyers ask about this one

Why does the published bore matter here?

Because it is the only one in this family that exists. Every other set on this shelf leaves the figure out, which means no additional plate can be matched from the listing. SPORTINATOR publishes Ø 28 mm, and that is a figure somebody can buy against.

Is Ø 28 mm the same as the 30 mm standard?

No. They are close enough to be confused and they are not the same figure, and this site does not convert one into the other. Anyone adding plates later should compare against the 28 mm the maker published rather than against the more common 30 mm.

What do the three versions contain?

The maker publishes a breakdown for each: 15 kg as eight 1.25 kg and four 0.5 kg plates, 20 kg as four 2.5 kg, four 1.25 kg and four 0.5 kg, and 40 kg adding 5 kg plates and a connecting bar. All three include two dumbbell bars.

Who this one is for

Somebody who wants fine steps and thin plates, and who reads the bore before buying more
