Cold plunging has been a regular part of my wellness routine since I took my first ice bath at a biohacking conference in 2021. Since then, I've installed multiple cold plunge tubs in our home spa, testing them for comfort, temperature, and a range of other factors.

This video lists my top five picks based on testing and first-hand experience, broken down into the following categories:

5:51 - Cold Plunge: The Ice Bath With the Best Design
8:32 - Morozko Plunge: The Coldest Ice Bath
9:56 - Ice Pod Pro: The Most Budget-Friendly Cold Plunge
11:32 - Ice Barrel: A Middle-of-the-Road Cold Plunge
14:29 - My Closing Thoughts

If you’re looking for general information about cold plunges, you can learn more in my in-depth article on ice bath health benefits: michaelkummer.com/health/ice-bath-benefits/

Correction: Morozko Forge offers a three-year warranty for its standard tub. Only the more expensive Pro version features a five-year warranty. I misspoke in the video.

    I actually bought the IcePod Pro with the Pro water chiller (1/2 HP), and it's really quite fantastic, especially for the money. I'm 6'3, 250lbs, so the Pod was just a little tight, but completely usable for someone my size. I ended up swapping out the Pod for an inflatable tub off of Amazon for about $700, which connected seamlessly to the chiller. I did keep the Pro Pod, in case I want to take the chiller system on the go, since it will be much more mobile than the paddle board material tub. Hope this helps anyone who is thinking about this option.
  • Great review, thank you. The Ice Barrel 500 just came out, maybe do a review of that one and also, cold plunging on a budget options like setting up a Rubbermaid or galvanized iron livestock feeder hooked up to a 1 hp water chiller.
  • @pytheus
    Thank you for another great video!! Question regarding the Ice Barrel 300: please, would you make some suggestion for a chilller, maybe ones to consider and/or ones to avoid?
  • I got the ice pod chiller with the tub for under $1,000 and it works fine even in 100 degree weather (just the basic 1/3 hp chiller) It stays cool at 55 where I set it and is just big enough. Eventually I would get a nice tub when I want to spend $4,000

    @MichaelKummer Great video, sir! Thank you. I'm new to cold plugging, and this was very helpful. I live in Alberta, Canada, and in the winter, it gets cold outside. Right now, the high is -9°C, and overnight it goes down to -25°C. Any recommendations to keep a cost-effective tub around 3 degrees? Should I just set up inside?
  • I live in Costa Rica and it is always sunny and hot here. Concerned about the chiller lasting and being able to get to 37 degrees. I would get the therafrost except I think the black color will retain heat and make the chiller work much harder and not last. Any one have any thoughts? thanks
  • Hi Michael, I was looking at the pod company tub and chiller. I see you recommend the pod company tub but what about the pro chiller they offer? 2. Do you have a review on their chiller? 3. Is having an ozone generator necessary to keep the water clean and germ free for 6 months? 4. Iv heard having an ozone, it has to be in well ventilated area, it will be in my house so it’s not outside well ventilated. 5. Are there substitutes for ozone? Can you use H2O2 in a rubber pod tub? 6. Does H2O2 effect and parts inside chiller /filter? 7. I’m also considering a Penguin chiller/filter, can I use that with a rubber pod company tub? I’m a newbie as you can see, I appreciate your help and patience with all my questions. Thank you!!!

    Great detailed video, with the TheraFrost, what is the drainage like? Is it possible to hook up a hose to the drain connection to run it a few metres to outside if the plunge is going to be setup indoors? Beautiful German Shepherd too 👌🏼
  • I see that you're wearing a CBG monitor - please can I enquire how the ice baths have benefitted or effected your condition? I too am interested in how it may effect me - cheers in advance
  • The insulation is an important factor to be considered as you don't want to run your pump and chiller 24/7. Because of that in my view the Modplunge is unbeatable, price/performance/maintenance wise.
  • @philw9120
    You left out Renu Therapy that, I think is still the best
  • @arisejeff
    mmmm should i get a car or cold plunge tub?
  • @DrScottLehr
    $5000 for an inflatable? Seriously, that is a scam.
