Free weights are better

It only works if you do.

As fsdsk says, free weights are better, but if space is an issue, a Bowflex would probably be fine.

The only advantage of the bowflex is that it applies accomidating resistance.
Free weights would be better, and cheaper. You would be better off with a 300 lb barbell weight set, and setting it on the floor. Only $100.
