Rank #4 in Best Kettlebell 2026: The Handle Nobody Measures
Phoenix Fitness Vinyl Kettlebell 4kg with Ergonomic Wide Handle, Green
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Phoenix vinyl kettlebell is 4kg for £22.99, rated 4.1 stars from 4,411 ratings — with 9 per cent one-star, the worst record in this ranking.
It takes fourth because its 2.7cm handle is the narrowest published here while the title calls it wide, and because the same model with the same barcode is on sale at £28.99 on a second listing.
How those 4,411 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.1 stars.

Questions people ask
Why is the handle narrow?
Because the vinyl shell needs clearance from the body, so a 2.7cm handle is what fits.
Is it cast iron?
No: it is a vinyl-coated bell, which is why it costs less and grips differently.
What is it good for?
One-handed swings, halos and floor work; two-handed swings are a squeeze.
Why does the same bell cost £28.99 elsewhere?
The same model and barcode are listed twice at two prices; check both.
Why is it fourth?
Because the sample is large but the record is the worst here and the handle is the narrowest.
How many ratings does it have?
4411 at the time of collection, averaging 4.1 stars, with 63 per cent five-star and 9 per cent one-star.
