Typically, in the wonderful world of retail fitness equipment, you tend to get what you pay for, or at least that's what we think most of the time.I've found, on average, that 30-40 lb. kettle bells cost between $50-75 when purchased from a local chain/store (checked Target, Sports Authority, and Big 5).This ProSource 30 lb kettle bell has been a fantastic value (purchased mine for about $38 shipped in January 2015) and it feels much better than the more expensive ones. I've been very satisfied with this kettle bell, which is great considering its one of the lowest price ones available online or in store.The finish is top notch. It looks to be enamel coated and baked on for durability. It's got a slight glossy shine that makes it smooth, but not so smooth its slippery. The coating is rough enough that you can grip without squeezing for life. There aren't any bubbles, imperfections, or that infamous "seam" that tears up your skin, so that's great. I'm glad to report that I don't have to wear gloves using it and have had no blisters.It's also very nice that there is NO smell/odor out of the box and after constant sweaty use and no color residue rubbing off over time. Some kettle bells make your hands smell like you've been counting pennies all day. Rubber/vinyl ones sometimes make your house smell like tires.A huge plus is the handle is wider on the ProSource than most of the iron ones I've tried in gyms and local stores. I have small to medium hands and I have a bit of room to spare on the ProSource. My knuckles would hit each other on other kettle bells, that's probably frustrating for people with larger hands. I guess it makes sense for those companies to make smaller grips because it would save money on material. The round diameter of the grip is nice too, not too big or small.I don't throw my weights around, so I can't comment on the wear and tear that could come from rough use.On level concrete, this kettle bell doesn't wobble, its quite level. I know these things can be hit or miss and it seems like more of a random quality control issue that we've seen more in cast iron than molded plastic.Also, to the reviewer that says this is not iron and actually "concrete": I took a magnet, attached it on the handle and all over the body, and stuck all over the kettle bell with the same attraction strength, so its definitely ferrous throughout (or at least the surface areas).This is a really good kettle bell and it was a great value when I bought it.Good valueThe kettlebell itself is great: non slippery grip, enough room for a two handed grip, stable on the bottom, attractive matte finish. However, I was trying to match my set and the one I received did not match the picture in the listing as it was missing the logo. It also arrived with multiple chips and looking quite beat up. Disappointing since I paid over $100 Canadian. Since it seems to be only 35lb prosource KB available in North America (!!!) I’ll be keeping it.I use these constantly and I should mention right off the bat that I am not looking to replace them. However, if anyone is shopping around for kettlebells I thought I could provide some insight on these.First of all, they're a basic kettlebell. You lift them and you do stuff and they work fine...But the paint does come off over time. Once it does you will notice it's not all cast iron. There is filler to achieve the shape (none in the handles as far as I can tell). I don't know what it is nor do I really care but it looks like cement.Even though it has filler you're not getting cheated out of iron. I have two of these 40lb kettlebells; 1 weighs 41.6 lbs and the other weighs 42 lbs. for reference my similar weighted CAP kettlebells are all less than 1lb over their stamped weight.The last thing to note is that the bottom is not perfectly flat. It's flat enough to do push-ups or even renegade rows, but not with total confidence so if you have stability concerns this is something to be aware of.So we ordered this kettle bell in 20 pounds. It arrived in packaging not adequate for a 20 pound kettle bell. The box and packaging was completely flimsy. So of course the kettle bell was damaged. Chipped all over! So we sent it back. They sent a new one and the packaging was even worse. We grew tired of going without a kettle bell so we kept it anyway and used a marker to color in the chipped paint. So the kettle serves its purpose and the price is good. But if your someone who doesn't want damaged product even if it still works you might pay a little more and go with a company who at least packages their product appropriately so that it makes it to you looking as nice as the picture. I gave it 3 stars only because it's still usable.I searched and searched all the available KB's amazon offered. I read reviews and compared prices. As a newbie to KB's I wasn't sure what separated one from another and why some cost 3x as much as others. This KB has a solid, one-piece build. It doesn't have a coating of paint to chip or latex that will tear. It's balanced and won't roll away bc it has a nice flat bottom. It looked brand new when I got it. I mean, it's a lead ball with a handle big enough to fit both my big hands on (mens XL glove size) and it's as thick as any handle I've ever felt on other bells. I don't only recommend these bells, I'm buying more...40 lbs kettlebell. I use it indoors or on grass. I am cautious to avoid breaking the handle. Paint has remained on it.Take your time when using it and learn how to master the basic movements. My only issue now is it's too light. Otherwise great product and has not broken, as other reviewers have indicated.
