While you can certainly hop into a frigid body of water in the winter months or even fill up your bathtub or a trash can with water and ice, companies like The Plunge and Polar Monkeys are offering a more luxurious way to go about cold plunging. Many people have chosen to ditch the traditional ice bath as it can be a hassle to dump a bunch of ice and water into a tub or trash can, and find the right temperature. Not to mention the waste that ensues from the two — which is something you don’t have to worry about from these two companies.
Simply set up your tub and select your desired temperature with the chiller located on the side of each of these. Plus, with each product, you also have a filter that, as you may assume, filters out any impurities from your water. While both The Plunge and Polar Monkeys offer a product that is similar in nature, there are a few distinct differences between the two — such as the materials used, the price, and the overall size of the tubs.

Polar monkey had raised all their prices almost $1000 while plunge has remained the same. With the price increase it makes the decision very difficult
-
To bad the prices for polar monkey has significantly increased since you made this video.
-
What are your thoughts/experience with the heating system on the polar monkey or plunge?
-
Do these plunge tubs heat up the room they are in by much? I have a small spare room but I also work in there. I'd like to keep the plunge in the room but worry the unit will heat up the room.
-
anyone has any idea where do they get their water coolers at? Or do they make them theirselfs?
-
fam, get a chest freezer, seal it using water proof sealants, and fill it with water.. Bam industry grade cold plunge for like $500
-
i opted to DIY my rubbermaid 150 Gal Tub. ordered the chiller and pump and a cover. i am going to insulate the tub as well. thanks for the ideas!
-
HOW DOES IT WORK? When you are exposed to cold water, your blood vessels constrict and get smaller, and when you get out of the water, the change in temperature causes them to rapidly re-open, which can help to flush the muscles metabolic waste products.
-
The 1 year warranty is pretty crappy. At that price point I'd want at least a 5 year.
-
The prices are ridiculous. I only need this for the summer when water is warmer
-
I Love my polar monkey. The only beef I have is that it sweats from the hot air in my garage. The water does take quite a long time to chill though. The smart plug turns it on at midnight and by the time I wake up, i'ts nice and 45 degrees.
-
Star treatment is now $12,900 hahaha
-
Star treatment is now 12k+++ like holy crap polar monkeys making up for lost sales 😳
-
thanks for the video... couldve been a 5min video tho
-
* keep them Indoor during the cold winter months. Lol.
-
I just got rid of my polar monkey portal. Took over two months to arrive from date of purchase, chiller stopped working after a month, and getting a new chiller kept getting delayed week after week. Customer support is non-existant, with replies once a day/every other day, with the only thing offered as a "sorry" being a free filter (approx $7 value). Like the comments posted, the portal sweats LIKE CRAZY. Water gets everywhere, including under the tub where mold and mildew grew. Overall experience with polar monkeys was the worst I've ever had with any other company.
-
11.5 ft long? What kind of giants are buying a plunge xl?
-
The xl is nowhere near as big as he claims. That was ridiculous. BTW I have the xl
-
why would i ever have to replace the water if i just keep it clean with the filter and some chems?
