IronMaster are good. Looks like regular dumbbells. Unlike powerblocks they won't break if you drop them occasionally. They can be slightly off on weight but that's not a big deal for me. Powerblocks have more accurate weight tolerances.
The cheapest option is to get spin lock dumbbell bars from a company like NY Barbell and buy plates. If you have a strong table or are willing to make one at hip level it's quick and easy to make the dumbbell of your choice. I did this for years and could make dumbbells up to around 100lbs. Many think the bar poking out is a real problem but it isn't. For inclines dumbbell benching or flat benching if you angle the dumbbell on your thigh prior to kicking them into position it's no problem what so ever.

Ironmaster are the best.
I had the bowflex 10-90 but sold and upgraded.
Trouble is, they sell out fast, and you have to enter a lottery to buy.
Can be found on secondary market though - FB marketplace and such.

I've got a set of powerblocks that I keep in my office, the old square ones.
Always thought the Ironmasters would be nice and you wouldn't have to treat them like fine china like the powerblocks.
