Anybody here ever tried Powerblock? Getting it for someone as an Xmas present and I have heard good reviews, thinking of buying it for myself.
Mad space saving, it's not too bad on te wallet too
Well is it actually worth it?

I bought them when I first started working out, because it was cheaper and more time saving than driving 30 minutes to the gym each day.
I bought the 90 lb. dumbbells, then bench and the pullup bar.
The dumbbells are really nice and I'm glad that I got them, because now I'll always have them and they're a good design.
The bench is inferior quality and the pullup bar attaches to the bench.
All dumbbell work is phenomenal for perfecting all of your stabilizer muscles.
Not gonna lie, they seem fine as fuck. Quite costly, but then again, these got to last a lifetime, right? I mean what could even break there? I might actually get those instead of paying for a gym membership now that I will be moving into a big city where gyms have month memberships that costs a fortune.

How much do they cost? Just googled them and they look pretty cool but their site is annoying ambiguous about the price.
They're ~300 for up to 50 lbs on the expensive set, plus some more for the 70-90 expansion. The way I rationalize it is by comparing them to the cost and footprint of regular dumbbell sets from 5 lbs to 50lbs.

Take it back. Checked the price right now and they vary
Well, you need to make sure you're comparing apples to apples... There's a 50 pound version, an add-on that brings them up to 70, and another add-on that brings them up to 90. (and IIRC there's another add on beyond that.)
And IIRC they also sell a 45 pound version that DOESN'T allow adding on.

Yeah there is that 45 one, then one that I think goes to only 50, and then a 50 that goes to 90... I ordered the one that has the 90 expansion.
