Dumbbells
Dumbbells

Dumbbells are made with a variety of materials. Vinyl or plastic coated dumbbells cost a bit more, but are easier to clean and do not flake like iron dumbbells. Iron dumbells are extremely durable and less expensive, but can chip and flake. There are also several dumbbells on the market that are "adjustable." They use some type of system that adds more weight to a bar. They are more expensive, but take up less space in a home gym.
