Ice Bath Tub Cold Plunge: Portable Bathtub Icepod with Cover Large Folding Recovery Bucket Icebath Barrel Arctic Pod - Ice Bath Tubs for Athletes Adults

I was very impressed with the quality of the material! A must have if needing a good ice bath after a workout!

This is a really good size tub. The only con is that the thermometer doesn't work. Shows same temp for 6 days.

I wanted to get my first cold plunge -to use at home in my second bathroom that has a tub. This one didn’t have many reviews but the description and all the points that were made about and the cheaper price made me ultimately choose this one.It took like 5-7 mins to set up, super easy. And most importantly it fit my 24 inch wide tub though this plunge tub is listed at 33-34 wide. It was easy enough to manipulate to go right into my tub and fit without being perfectly round, but plenty of room for me to get in and out of and keep filled.The material is strong and it’s everything I expected to be and more. I was expecting cheap, flimsy material based on all these other reviews of other similar products but this one completely hit the mark.I would highly recommend this for your needs in terms of size, price, durability.

Solid material and construction, easy to setup. If you’re looking for a low cost portable tub this is as good as it gets.But…for anyone else whose life situation is like me, a portable tub is not adequate for cold plunges. With 5lbs of ice i could only get it to 60F (on a 62F day). It felt cold! But was far from the 40-50F range I was targeting… perfect if you have a large freezer space to keep a continual supply of ice blocks. With a family that’s just not an option for me.

Got mine yesterday and used it this morning. Good size easy to put together, well thought out design. It’s basic but anyone that does cold plunge usually is pretty basic. I freeze water bottles and dump them in about 30 minutes before use. Cheaper than buying ice. Best perk, it comes with the floating thermometer. I like the soft rail around the top that I can relax my head against and meditate.

I was genuinely surprised how sturdy the seems and sides were. The insulation/padding in the side give the tube a nice rigidity, coupled with the plastic leg inserts and all worries about the tub tipping or buckling were completely gone. The bottom was also padded, at least doubled from what is in the sides. While I wouldn’t want to sit on it all day, the short amount of time in the cold plunge is perfectly acceptable.My biggest concern ordering the tub was if it was going to be big enough to fit me (6’ tall, 280lbs). The diameter is more than fine, spacious even. I do wish the tub was slightly tall as I have to hunch slightly to get the water up to my neck, but the trade off would be making it more difficult to get in and out of.Overall, very happy with the tub and would recommend if you’re interested in trying out a cold plunge.

Having explored various ice bath solutions, I recently tried the Icepod - a portable, freestanding bathtub designed for cold plunges. At first glance, it resembles other ice baths on the market, but two key features distinguish it from another model I own.Firstly, the inclusion of a thermometer is a noteworthy advantage. This feature, often absent in many ice bath models, is crucial for those serious about their cold therapy routine. The ability to monitor the water temperature precisely allows for a more effective and controlled ice bath experience.Secondly, the design of the pole end edges sets the Icepod apart. Many models have square or awkwardly shaped poles, but the Icepod's poles have rounded ends. This subtle yet impactful design choice significantly eases the assembly process. The rounded edges allow for smooth insertion of the poles into the plastic channels, reducing the usual struggle and frustration associated with setting up a typical ice bathtub. While it may seem trivial, this design enhancement greatly improves the user experience, especially for those who set up and dismantle their ice baths regularly.Beyond these features, the Icepod ticks all the boxes of a quality ice bathtub. It's spacious enough to comfortably accommodate someone six feet tall, making it ideal for recovery and therapeutic sessions. The tub's foldable nature is a bonus, offering convenience for those with limited space.Additionally, the tub comes with a cover, a thoughtful inclusion for maintaining water temperature and, more importantly, cleanliness when not in use. This is especially beneficial for users who prefer not to change the water frequently.

We wanted an ice bath to use along with our sauna.This ice bath fits well in the unfinished area of our basement, and is sturdy to hold many gallons of water safely.The emptying hose+valve is easy to use; I do wish the hose extended a bit longer to give me more options for emptying into the floor spout.You may want a small mat and a safe step-stool to put outside the tub, to make it easier to get in and out, especially if you have short legs.
