FLYBIRD WB5 Weight Bench
Foldable adjustable weight bench, -30 to 90 degrees · Reviewed by Drew · amazon.com live, Sept 24 2026
Why it scored a 82
This is a bench, not a dumbbell set, and at $149.98 it is the cheapest item in the category and the best value, scoring 93. It backs that with volume: 26,122 ratings at 4.5 stars put satisfaction at 90 and reliability at 88. The backrest runs from -30 to 90 degrees, the seat adjusts too, and the frame folds to about 9 inches wide. Warranty is the weak spot at 55, since the frame is covered for 1 year, with parts covered for 3. Quality sits at 78 because this is a folding consumer bench, not a commercial flat-to-incline. It ranks #3 of 10.

Should you buy the FLYBIRD WB5 Weight Bench?
The FLYBIRD WB5 Weight Bench is for anyone who already has dumbbells, or is buying them, and needs incline and decline angles in a small apartment. At $149.98 it ranks #3 of 10 in our Adjustable Dumbbells & Home Gyms category. Pair it with the PowerBlock Elite EXP Stage 1 (5-50 lb) for a full free-weight setup under $550. If you want a machine with a built-in seat instead, the Marcy MWM-990 Home Gym covers presses and leg work.
Where it earns its score
- Best value here. At $149.98 it scores 93 on value, the highest in the category and the cheapest entry point.
- Huge rating base. 26,122 ratings at 4.5 stars is the largest sample in the group, which is why reliability reaches 88.
- Full angle range. Decline to -30 degrees and upright at 90 covers flat, incline, decline and seated press work.
- Stores flat. It folds to about 9.06 inches wide, narrow enough to slide beside a sofa or into a closet.
What to know first
- Warranty is the lowest factor at 55. The frame is covered for 1 year; parts get 3 years, so a bent frame after year one is on you.
- Capacity numbers conflict. The title says 800 lb and the spec table says 1,000 lb, and one bullet names the FB800, so confirm the model on the page.
- Folding trade-off. A 28.5-lb folding bench moves more under heavy presses than a fixed commercial bench.
Our verdict
The FLYBIRD WB5 Weight Bench scores 82, a Good Buy and #3 in our Adjustable Dumbbells & Home Gyms category. Value (93), satisfaction (90) and reliability (88) lead, while a 1-year frame warranty holds it back. Buy it as the bench for any dumbbell set here. For the dumbbells themselves, the PowerBlock Elite EXP Stage 1 (5-50 lb) scores 88.
