I don't usually write reviews on Amazon, but I've been using these Iron Core Fitness bands for just over a year (purchased June 14 2021) and have been a happy user. However today, the second largest one (purple 40-80 lb) snapped while exercising with it. Fortunately I was wearing workout gloves so it didn't injure me, but just imagine doing anchored pulldowns, pulling the band toward your face, and having it snap on you… I'm a decently in shape guy, but I'm no Arnold Schwarzenegger, so it wasn't my heroic strength that broke the band. Unfortunately when one band in a set breaks, you're stuck as the bands all complement each other (as anyone who uses bands will know). They've been reliable until today, but I didn't think I was buying a set for just 1 year. So fair warning: if you're considering buying these, think of the price more as the "rental" price than the purchase price and you'll be making the right evaluation. I gave it two stars instead of just a single star because I did get a single year of use and not nothing.
UPDATE: I reached out to the company about the snapped band and I got a response within one day, asking for a picture of the snapped band and my shipping address so they could send a replacement. The next day (I live in a city) I had a replacement delivered in good working order. Based on that I am revising the rating up to 4 stars as any product can have failures (and this one did), but they stood by it and promptly fixed with minimal hassle. Based on this, I would buy from them again.
