Top Amazon Reviews

🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


Both reviewers praise Bob the Dummy, stating they're excellent for conditioning and practicing different punches and techniques when you are unable to attend physical classes or sessions. The product is described as durable, realistic, and efficient, allowing them to push their boundaries and intensify their training. One reviewer even commended it for helping him lose fat while the other has found noticeable improvement in his punches.

Pros

  • 🥊 Bob is durable and can withstand strong punches and kicks.
  • 🏋️‍♂️ Pain-free way to lose or maintain weight in a fun manner.
  • 💡 Perfect for practicing different techniques you've learned or to mimic the style of professional athletes.
  • 🚀 Fast and adjustable setup; easy to move around.

Cons

  • 🥴 Head shots seem to be less pleasing than body shots due to the physics involved.
  • 🎯 You need to focus where you are kicking to avoid hitting the hard plastic base.
  • 🤸‍♀️ Base tends to wobble and move around, which could be inconvenient if you have limited space.

Should I Buy It?

If you take your conditioning seriously and want an enjoyable, physical activity beyond just running or jumping rope, purchasing Bob the Dummy seems like a terrific idea. According to the reviewers, it requires boxing gloves and some practice to avoid minor inconveniences, but overall, they highly recommend it for all martial arts, boxing, or training regimens.


  • Love the set. Everything was as described.
Style: BOB XL & Wavemaster
I don’t know what to add that other people already haven’t (about set up, water vs. sand, etc.). I will say it arrived days before the delivery date, packaged appropriately, no damage, exactly as expected. I am very pleased with the set. It’s better than I expected really. Because of some reviews about his head being too soft, it moving around too much, or being too loud, I was hesitant prior to purchasing. I live on the upper floor of a condo building so this was a small concern for me. But it’s not loud at all imo. Putting it on top of foam padding also helps (and looks better :) ). For me and my size, it’s perfect for what I need right now. I am not a large powerful man. I am a tall woman. The entire setup is perfect for me, weight is perfect at my level. I’m just starting out with Mauy Thai and find it extremely useful and helpful to review what I learn in class/training more, at home. It’s helpful with body conditioning, endurance, cardo at home, reviewing what you learned that day or week in training. Anyway, it’s been around for a long time. As a newbie, I recommend this set, find it valuable, and am happy with the purchase and shipping process from this seller. ... show more

  • A decent stand-in for a heavy bag
Style: BOB XL
Truth be told, I wanted to get a heavy bag but had nowhere to put it. I got Bob at the end of 2019 but put him into semi-retirement because punching him always ended up with my wrists getting hurt and the insides of my fingers getting scraped. I am a long-time MMA fan and had gotten some 4oz UFC gloves to beat on Bob. 4oz gloves really aren't adequate, nor are bare fists advisable against Bob unless you punch with the strength of a baby. Fast forward to quarantine and I ordered some 14oz Hayabusa T3 gloves, and Bob is a whole new experience. I've been beating on him about every other day for the past month and he's helping me to lose fat in conjunction with diet modification. I put on some heavy metal and go to town on Bob for about 30 minutes as hard as I can. Great stress relief and I always work up a sweat. Fat is coming off and my diet can stay a little closer to maintenance since I'm getting the cardio in. The best thing about Bob / a heavy bag is that the cardio is actually fun. I HATE running and I hate jumping rope. Most forms of cardio really suck. But beating the living hell out of this mean-mugging dummy really doesn't get old. You can get creative to keep it fresh. Sometimes I will blast his stomach with a hundred punch jab/straight combo just to max out my heart rate. Other times I will practice slipping into hooks. And still other times I will get elaborate and technical, maybe start out with a jab to the face followed by a 4 hook body combo and ending with a thunderous shovel hook to the head. I've given Bob my best spinning backfists and teep kicks and he still sits there with that mean mug, ready for more! It's also fun to emulate fighters. Pretend to be Nick Diaz and throw a pitter patter smattering of body and head hooks, or pretend to be Dan Henderson and throw a lights out Haymaker. Bob can take it all! Bob is very durable and setup only took me about 30 minutes all told, just filling up the base with a hose. The worst part about Bob is that even if he is fully filled with water, the base will scoot around as you beat on him. I know this can be mitigated with sand, but I have him in a small corner of the room and I don't want to exert myself super hard if I ever want to move him outside or into the living room. HOWEVER, I have figured out a way to somewhat deal with the scooting. Once Bob has scooted somewhere you don't want him, all you need to do is "clinch" him and then scoot him clockwise or counter-clockwise in little circles. For instance place your left hand into Bob's right shoulder and PUSH and then put your right hand onto the back of Bob's left hip and PULL. This will scoot him in a counter-clockwise circle. This way you are using leverage to scoot the base around rather than manually trying to get near the ground and scoot the base. The wobble can also be mitigated by going to the body more. If you whack the head really hard, this causes the base to displace more than if you hit the body just due to the physics involved. Doesn't mean you can never hit the head, but you'll just have to be aware that if you do, the base will move more. So if you want to go full power for an extended period without worrying about resetting, attacking the body will be to your benefit. Of note, the full size version has thighs, and it is fun to sink kicks into them. Probably my favorite thing to do with Bob is to body-kick him though. A flush roundhouse body kick feels amazing and realistic. I highly recommend Bob if you are serious about losing fat and hate running, biking, jumping rope, etc. Just make sure you get a pair of good quality boxing gloves so that you can hit Bob and not screw up your hands or wrists. Also beware that he will scare the sh*t out of you and others for the first couple months lol. He cuts a very convincing silhouette and looks mean as all hell. I've seen videos of Conor McGregor beating up on Bob, so if Bob is good enough for Conor, he should be good enough for all of us. ... show more

  • Why didn't I buy this thing a long time ago? It's Awesome!!
Style: BOB XL
Wow where can I start? Its life size and adjustable. so you can simulate fighting someone taller or shorter then you. The base is huge, and when its full of water it makes this thing sturdy but it does give it a kick back so it feels real when you hit it. The body is dense and slightly squishy so it doesn't hurt when you hit it full impact with bare knuckles. When you kick it in the sides with round kicks it feels great, I love seeing the six pack so you can target perfectly right where the stomach is. And the best part, you can grab it by its head, pull it down and give it a good knee to the stomach, chest or head. I never had to do that to someone but man it makes you really imagine how good that must feel. You can do so much more with this thing then a normal punching bag. Punching it in the face just feels awesome. The best part is you don't have to mount it from the ceiling so it works great for being in a house. For those of you with anger issues, get one of these and tear it up It took about 8 minutes to fill up with water using a garden hose. It's very realistic looking I am just amazed. The muscles, and face have some pretty freaky details. Negatives: Jumps around (moves) when you hit it hard so it requires you to have to move it back which gets distracting. I took a 3 foot board and set it on the floor between the base and the wall (wood panel around the floor/wall to stop this. Also what works well is grabbing it by the head while you're in beat it up mode and it moves back on its own magically. on another note: It will scare you or your friends coming in the house late at night. Looks like some mean buff dude is in your house. Might come in handy for Halloween ha. I love this thing, best work out ever, you can take out some aggression, practice your martial arts kicking/punching and body conditioning for you legs/feet and knuckles. I have never seen anything like it, best purchase i've made in a long time related to exercising. ... show more
