Mikolo (5LB+2.5LB+1.25LB) SET Weight Plates Review

Our scorecard

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home gym and fitness equipment we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

The Mikolo (5LB+2.5LB+1.25LB) SET is a six-piece rubber change plate kit priced at $74.99, with a total item weight of 17.5 pounds. The set provides three denominations, two plates of each, giving lifters options for 1.25, 2.5, and 5 pound incremental additions to a loaded barbell. The white rubber finish distinguishes it visually from standard black iron plates.

200 monthly buyers choose this set despite its 21 reviews, which suggests active organic discovery and repeat purchasing. A 4.3-star average is at the lower bound for products on this site but still reflects positive overall buyer experience. The rubber construction protects both the barbell sleeve and the floor surface on contact.

At $74.99 for six plates across three weight denominations, the Mikolo set costs more per pound than bare iron change plates but delivers the convenience of a ready-to-use micro-loading kit. Lifters who train with progressive overload across multiple movements benefit from having all three sizes on hand rather than buying piecemeal.

Performance notes

Rubber change plates at the 1.25 to 5 pound range serve a specific, precision function in barbell training. The Mikolo set covers all three standard micro-loading sizes in one purchase, which is practical for lifters who cycle between denominations across different lifts or training blocks. The 17.5-pound total across six plates (two each of 5, 2.5, and 1.25 lb) confirms the weight math aligns with the model designation.

What buyers say

With only 21 reviews but 200 monthly buyers, the Mikolo (5LB+2.5LB+1.25LB) SET is newer to the market with a growing buyer base. The 4.3-star rating from early buyers is positive, though the small review count means it carries more uncertainty than higher-review alternatives. The strong monthly sales suggest buyers who find it are largely satisfied.
