Our verdict

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
A single 24 pound kettlebell tends to land in a household as a second or third weight, once someone already has a lighter bell for warmups and wants more resistance for swings and carries. The PROIRON PRO-HL24L fills that role at $36.97, built from PVC-coated material and marketed under a strength-training feature tag.
Its 4.6-star rating across 1,200 reviews puts it in the same range as the Sunny NO. 066-5, which holds an identical 4.6 stars but across a larger 2,600 reviews and 400-plus buyers a month. That gap in current monthly demand is the clearest difference: the PROIRON shows a 0-plus bought-last-month figure, while the Sunny, the BalanceFrom set, and the JFIT all report active ongoing sales. The Ader Premier Set remains the outlier at $1,448 with only 3.2 stars across 4 reviews.
The 1,200-review history behind the PROIRON's 4.6-star average is substantial and hard to dismiss, so the bell itself appears to have satisfied a large number of past buyers. But the flat current demand figure means shoppers should treat this more as a proven design than a currently hot seller, and check availability and current pricing carefully before buying.
Pros
- A 4.6-star rating across 1,200 reviews matches the Sunny NO. 066-5 for one of the strongest ratings in this comparison.
- At $36.97, it's priced between the budget single bells and the multi-weight BalanceFrom set.
- 24 pounds is a common progression weight for lifters moving up from a lighter starter bell.
- PVC-coated construction offers a different feel and grip than raw cast iron.
- 1,200 reviews is a large enough sample that the star rating reflects a genuine track record, not a handful of early opinions.
Cons
- Bought-last-month sits at 0-plus, the weakest current demand signal of any kettlebell compared here.
- The Sunny NO. 066-5 matches its 4.6-star rating at a lower $16.21 price and shows 400-plus monthly buyers.
- The BalanceFrom set and JFIT both show active recent sales that the PROIRON currently doesn't.
- A single 24 pound bell, like the others here, means no built-in progression to heavier or lighter loads.

Performance notes
24 pounds sits between a beginner-friendly weight and a serious training load, workable for two-handed swings, goblet squats, and lighter overhead pressing for someone who has already built some base strength. The PVC coating over the bell's core is a common approach for keeping cost down while protecting floors from the chipping that bare cast iron can cause over repeated drops. The strength_training feature tag on the listing signals it's positioned as general resistance equipment rather than a specialty tool for a single movement, which tracks with how a single mid-weight kettlebell typically gets used, swings, carries, presses, and squats rotated through a routine rather than one dedicated lift. Buyers should note the listing doesn't specify grip diameter or handle texture, details that matter more for two-handed grip comfort during higher-rep swing sets than the overall weight does.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star average across 1,200 reviews is a strong, well-established pattern, on par with the Sunny NO. 066-5's identical 4.6 stars across 2,600 reviews. That volume suggests the PROIRON has satisfied a large number of buyers over its time on the market. The notable outlier is the 0-plus bought-last-month figure, which stands apart from the Sunny's 400-plus, the BalanceFrom set's 700-plus, and the JFIT's 300-plus monthly buyers. Read together, the pattern suggests a bell with a genuinely solid track record that isn't currently moving at the same pace as its closest competitors, which could reflect stock timing, seasonal demand, or simply less recent visibility rather than any quality issue reflected in the reviews themselves.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the PROIRON show 0-plus bought last month?
That figure reflects recent purchase activity on the listing, not the quality of the bell itself. A 4.6-star rating across 1,200 reviews shows it has sold well historically, but the current bought-last-month count trails competitors like the Sunny NO. 066-5, which shows 400-plus.
How does the PROIRON's rating compare to other kettlebells?
Its 4.6 stars across 1,200 reviews ties the Sunny NO. 066-5's 4.6 stars, though the Sunny has more reviews at 2,600. Both sit below the JFIT J-VKB8's 4.8 stars, but well above the Ader Premier Set's 3.2 stars across only 4 reviews.
What is the PROIRON PRO-HL24L kettlebell made of?
It's made from PVC over its core weight, at 24 pounds, and listed under a strength_training feature tag on Amazon. That kind of coated construction is common for mid-weight kettlebells sold around this $36.97 price point, since it costs less to manufacture than solid cast iron.
