Squatz SQKBSFT25BK Kettlebell Review
Our verdict
The Squatz SQKBSFT25BK is a 15.9-pound PVC and rubber kettlebell priced at $39.90, holding a 4.7-star rating, but that score is built on only 15 reviews and 100+ units bought last month, a fraction of the data behind competitors like the 2,600-review Sunny bell. The rating looks strong, but the sample is thin.

Best for lifters specifically wanting a mid-weight, roughly 16-pound bell in a PVC and rubber build, and who are comfortable buying from a newer, lower-volume listing rather than the most reviewed option on the market.
Skip if
Skip if you want a rating backed by a large review count before trusting it, since this listing's 4.7 stars comes from just 15 reviews, far fewer than alternatives like the 784-review JFIT or 2,600-review Sunny bell.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Say you need one kettlebell in the middle of the weight range, heavier than a beginner bell but lighter than a 45-pound advanced piece. The Squatz SQKBSFT25BK, at 15.9 pounds, sits in that gap, built from a PVC and rubber combination rather than bare cast iron.
At $39.90, it's priced close to the NEALFIT HL202504 and comfortably above budget cast iron options like the $16.21 Sunny NO. 066-5 or $18.99 JFIT J-VKB8. Its 4.7-star rating is the second-highest in this comparison, just behind JFIT's 4.8 stars, but that number rests on only 15 reviews, a small sample next to the thousands behind the cheaper competitors.
100+ units bought last month shows some real, ongoing demand, comparable in scale to the PAETA KB00's own 100+ figure, but well below the 2,000+ moving for the Fitvids set or the 300 to 400+ for JFIT and Sunny. The high rating is worth noting, but with so few reviews, it hasn't been tested by nearly as many buyers as the competition, so treat the 4.7 stars as an early signal rather than a settled verdict on quality.
Pros
- 4.7-star rating is the second-highest average in this comparison, just behind the JFIT's 4.8 stars
- 15.9-pound weight fills a useful middle ground between light technique bells and heavier 45-plus pound options
- PVC and rubber combination construction offers a cushioned base compared to bare cast iron
- 100+ units bought last month shows genuine, active recent demand
- In stock at $39.90, priced in line with other mid-tier coated kettlebells
Cons
- Only 15 reviews back the 4.7-star rating, a tiny sample next to the 2,600 and 784 reviews behind cheaper competitors
- At $39.90, it costs roughly double the $16.21 to $18.99 charged for budget cast iron bells of similar general use
- 100+ units bought last month is modest compared to the 2,000+ moving for the Fitvids set
- No handle diameter is listed, which matters for grip during swings at this weight

Performance notes
At 15.9 pounds, this bell sits in a useful middle range, heavier than a beginner or conditioning weight but well short of the 45 to 50 pound bells built for advanced swings and carries. That makes it a reasonable single-bell choice for goblet squats, presses, and moderate-rep swings for an intermediate lifter. The PVC and rubber build suggests a coated shell similar to other vinyl or plastic bells in this comparison, which tends to be quieter and gentler on floors than bare cast iron when set down between sets. At $39.90, the price sits above budget cast iron options at similar or lighter weights, which makes sense given the coated construction, but buyers should weigh that against the very small review sample backing this specific listing before assuming it matches the durability of more established, higher-volume competitors.
What buyers say
A 4.7-star rating puts the Squatz SQKBSFT25BK near the top of this comparison on paper, second only to JFIT's 4.8 stars. But the sample behind that number is just 15 reviews, dramatically smaller than the 2,600 reviews behind the Sunny bell or the 784 behind JFIT. A high rating on a small sample can still shift meaningfully with a handful of new reviews in either direction, so it carries less statistical weight than the scores on more established listings. The 100+ units bought last month does suggest real, ongoing sales rather than a stalled or brand-new listing, which is a reasonable, if modest, demand signal to pair with the rating.

Frequently asked questions
Can I trust the 4.7-star rating on the Squatz SQKBSFT25BK?
It's a strong number, but it's built on only 15 reviews, far fewer than competitors like the 2,600-review Sunny bell or 784-review JFIT. The rating is a good sign, but the small sample means it could shift more easily as new reviews come in.
What weight is the Squatz SQKBSFT25BK kettlebell?
It's listed at 15.9 pounds, a middle-of-the-road weight suited to goblet squats, presses, and moderate swing work for lifters past the absolute beginner stage but not yet training with heavier 45-plus pound bells like the PAETA KB00 in this comparison.
Is $39.90 a fair price for this kettlebell?
It's on the higher end compared to budget cast iron bells like the $16.21 Sunny NO. 066-5, but it's in line with other coated PVC and rubber kettlebells in this comparison, and the 100+ units bought last month shows steady demand at that price.
