Once plunging, testers found the Ice Barrel 300 to be quite roomy.
Translation: Depending on your climate, your ice baths will stay chilled for up to 24 hours.
For under $200, we think the Polar Recovery Tub gives beginners the best bang for their buck.

The 105-gallon capacity is among the largest we saw when researching.
At 55 pounds, the empty tub may not qualify as lightweight, but its relatively easy to use.
However, at nearly $1,200, testers were disappointed that this tub isnt fully insulated.

The material is high-quality, thick plastic, but you shouldnt expect your ice to stay frozen for hours.
The Coleman SaluSpa can be used as a cold plunge and a hot tub and its inflatable to boot.
You dont have to do your cold plunges solo.
Another nice note: Its fully assembled before delivery, so no setup is required.
Plus, the stainless steel water tap will last longer than the plastic ones we saw on other models.
Plus, the chiller is inside the tub, so it doesnt take up valuable floor space.
Luckily, with a three-step self-cleaning system, the Supertub Cold Plunge makes sanitation a breeze.
Further, Bent notes that cold plunges or ice baths can reduce inflammation and increase immune function.
Bent says your cleaning routine depends on the model and how many people use it.
