1. General Information

We anonymously purchased this set of two adjustable dumbbells from Braingain. As an independent testing institute, we carefully evaluated this product, from ordering to use.

Assessments are based on a points system, with a maximum of 100 points per section. The final grade is the average of the sections, weighted according to their importance. Details of our assessment process are available on our website.

Each stage of the parcel's journey was clearly notified, and when a delivery attempt failed, contacting the carrier was quick and easy, and rescheduling was simple.

For our order placed on Amazon, customer service was handled directly by the platform, which is known for the quality and reliability of its returns and refunds system.

However, we tested several contact channels on the brand's website: the online chat feature, located at the bottom right of the page, proved to be very responsive and professional. It appears to be powered by powerful artificial intelligence, capable of effectively answering all our questions.

Customer service scores 100/100.
