Buyers who weigh review count heavily before purchasing should look elsewhere first. At 62 reviews, this listing has far less of a track record than the 452-review Fitvids POG-2INIP-70SET, even though both share the same 4.6-star average.

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
Shopping for small plates usually means squinting at review counts and hoping the rating held up over time. The Fitvids QD-2INSTD-95Set offers a different kind of proof: 200+ units bought last month, a real-time demand figure that most listings, including its own sibling the POG-2INIP-70SET, list only as 0+. At $119.99, it costs about $45 more than that sibling set, and buyers should know what that difference is paying for.
The spec sheet explains some of the gap. This set totals 48 pounds across 10 black cast iron plates, averaging just under 5 pounds per piece, versus 40 pounds across 12 pieces for the POG-2INIP-70SET, which averages closer to 3.3 pounds each. That makes the QD-2INSTD-95Set better suited to slightly larger load jumps, while the POG set targets finer increments. Both use the same cast iron material, so durability expectations should be similar.
Where this set is thinner is review history. Its 4.6-star average matches the POG-2INIP-70SET exactly, but it is built on only 62 reviews compared to 452. That is a smaller sample to trust, even with the recent bought-last-month figure working in its favor.
Pros
- 200+ units bought last month, the only product in this plate comparison with an active recent-demand figure
- 4.6-star average, matching the higher-reviewed Fitvids POG-2INIP-70SET
- 48 pounds across 10 cast iron plates, averaging under 5 pounds per piece for moderate load increments
- Cast iron build, the same material used across the higher-rated options in this comparison
- Currently in stock with no listed availability delay
Cons
- Only 62 reviews, a much smaller sample than the 452-review POG-2INIP-70SET at the same star rating
- Priced at $119.99, roughly $45 more than the similar 40-pound Fitvids POG-2INIP-70SET
- 48 pounds split 10 ways still is not a substitute for full-size plates on heavier lifts
- No listed dimensions, so sleeve fit on a thicker bar is not confirmed by the spec sheet

Performance notes
Ten plates totaling 48 pounds average out to just under 5 pounds each, a step up from the 3.3-pound average of the Fitvids POG-2INIP-70SET. That makes this set better suited to moderate load jumps rather than the smallest possible increments. Cast iron is the material doing the work here, the same choice used across most of the higher-rated plates in this comparison, and it is known for holding its shape rather than wearing down the way lower-grade composites can. The black finish is a cosmetic difference from the POG set's grey, with no functional impact on loading or fit. Without listed dimensions, buyers stacking several of these on one sleeve alongside standard plates should double check clearance, since fractional-style sets can get tight when combined with full-size plates.
What buyers say
The standout number here is 200+ bought last month, a live demand signal that none of the other plate listings in this comparison report; everything else, including the 452-review POG-2INIP-70SET, lists 0+ for the same field. That suggests this listing is moving units right now. The 4.6-star average matches the best-reviewed option in the group, but it rests on only 62 reviews, a sample size that can shift more with a handful of new reviews than a 452-review listing would. Together, the pattern reads as a newer or currently trending listing with strong early sentiment, not yet the long track record of its sibling set.

Frequently asked questions
What does '200+ bought last month' actually tell buyers?
It is a recent sales indicator showing at least 200 units sold in the past month, a live demand signal rather than a historical rating. None of the other plate sets in this comparison report a bought-last-month figure above 0+, making this the most current confirmation of active buying.
Is this a better buy than the Fitvids POG-2INIP-70SET?
It depends on priorities. The POG-2INIP-70SET costs $45 less and has 452 reviews versus 62, but this set shows confirmed recent demand and slightly heavier plates at 48 pounds versus 40. Buyers wanting an established track record should lean toward the POG set.
How much weight does the QD-2INSTD-95Set actually add to a bar?
The full set totals 48 pounds across 10 cast iron plates, averaging just under 5 pounds each. That is enough for moderate load jumps but not a replacement for a full plate rack if working sets climb past 100 or 150 pounds.
