I have purchased multiple pairs of these dumbbells and intend to purchase more soon. Regarding the common complaints, let's address them here:
THE WEIGHT: An online search shows that it is extremely common for hex dumbbells to have slight weight variations; most manufacturers specify an approximate weight tolerance of +/- 3%. For Example: this means a 50lb dumbbell could actually weigh anywhere from 48.5 lbs. to 51.5 lbs. and still be considered "well within spec" for mass-produced fitness equipment. From many of these reviews, Amazon Hex Dumbbell's are only around a 1-2% tolerance, that's pretty damn good.
THE SMELL: These things are rubber and yes, they are going to have a rubber smell, all rubber hex dumbbell's do when new and are coated with an oil during the manufacturing process. Put some dawn dish soap in a bucket with water, wash them, dry them and the smell will go away quickly. This will also remove any of the oil from the manufacturing process.
SCUFFS: I can understand the complaints regarding deep gouges, chips, cracks and any significant damage during shipping. I am just surprised at the reviews mentioning slight scuffs from shipping. Come on, you are going to scuff these things up using them over time anyways, get over it. Put them to work and use them to get the results you bought them for. You didn't buy them to let them sit unused and look pretty, they are weights.
Overall, I am extremely happy with these dumbbells, and for the price you can't beat them. They are great quality and easily compete with dumbbells that are double the price. For what they are the price is pretty unbeatable. Hopefully this review helps you out and covers any concerns you may have.

Great value, arrived perfectly clean and virtually zero offensive odor
I have purchased 15, 20, 25 & 30 lb pairs so far. Each has arrived in perfectly clean condition with virtually zero smell. They went straight from the box to the rack, no need whatsoever to clean them first.Regarding smell, they’re made in China, put into a plastic bag then sealed in a cardboard box and then shipped via container ship (that slow boat from China, from the old saying) before sitting in a few warehouses before making it to your doorstep. Of course there is going to be some degree odor from the rubber, but it’s amazingly minimal with these dumbbells.There is no hint of oxidization (rust) on the nicely knurled and plated handles, and I have found no imperfections in the rubber moulding.Regarding weight accuracy, all weigh -.5 lbs on my non-calibrated digital bathroom scale, which leads me to think my bathroom scale reads -.5 normally.All in all, I’m extremely happy with my choice to go with these Amazon Basics dumbbells and will definitely buy again.

Great dumbbells with one tiny issue
These are good quality and have no off-gassing smell. I bought a pair of them at the same time I bought a pair of CAP dumbbells. The rubber on these is a little softer than the CAP, but the CAP dumbbells have a terrible off-gassing smell. The little thing that bugs me about these is that they have “lbs” after the number on the dumbbell. So these say “15lbs” 4 times on each dumbbell. I also have some Amazon 40s, and they do the same thing. I would much rather they simply put the number and not put “lbs” on them at all. It’s a waste of space and visually distracting. I don’t need to be reminded every time I pick these up that they aren’t kilograms. I bought my dumbbells and have none in kg. I’ve worked out in many gyms and never seen dumbbells in kg. Even if these were in the gym, it wouldn’t be hard to figure out they aren’t 40kg. If the CAP dumbbells weren’t so stinky, I probably would have given these 4.5 stars.

great dumbbells!
These are great! Comfortable to use for at home workouts and has good grip. My only complaint is the super strong rubber smell they come with, it made my whole house smell bad. I had to wash them with soap and vinegar to try and reduce the odor.

Classic weights that do the job well
Classic hand weights that do what they need to do without any frills (are there frills to weights?) Sturdy and feel like they will last forever. Comfortable to hold for my yoga workouts. Price was good, too! I recommend.

I started incorporating weights into my home workout routine and decided to try the Amazon Basics Rubber Encased Hex Dumbbell. I couldn’t be happier with my choice! This 20-pound dumbbell is perfectly weighted for various exercises, allowing me to build strength effectively.The rubber casing is a fantastic feature—it prevents damage to my floors and reduces noise when I set it down. The hexagonal shape is also a great design choice; it keeps the dumbbell from rolling away when I’m not using it, which is super convenient.The grip is comfortable, and I appreciate that it feels sturdy and well-made. I’ve used it for a range of exercises, from curls to lunges, and it holds up wonderfully. Plus, the compact size makes it easy to store in my home gym without taking up much space.Overall, this dumbbell offers great quality at an affordable price. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their strength

Bargain dumbbell, great value for money but as several have mentioned they have a strong lingering rubber smell. After a few days the smell seems to dissipate.
