If you want the ultimate cold plunge tub, consider the Sun Home Saunas Cold Plunge Pro. This luxury cold plunge tub features impressive performance, a high-quality build, and an aesthetically pleasing design.
The Sun Home Saunas Cold Plunge Pro cools water to as low as 28° F—the coldest temperature offered by any cold plunge tub on our list—thanks to the tub’s built-in next gen cooling system.
Our product tester first did a session at 46° F for several minutes, then tried a two-minute session at 32° F. They noted that quite a bit of ice formed in the tub at 32° F, and that while it was incredibly cold and challenging to endure, they really enjoyed it and were looking forward to using it again.
Weighing 345 pounds when empty, the Sun Home Cold Plunge Pro is the heaviest cold plunge tub our team has tested. The tub is delivered curbside outside your home, so we recommend having the means to move it or hiring someone to do so. It does come on caster wheels, so we would recommend uncrating the unit where it gets dropped off so you can easily transport it. It took four men on our team to lift the tub off the shipping pallet. Our product tester did note that you’ll likely need another person to help you roll it.
The Sun Home Cold Plunge Pro is heavy for a reason. Our product tester said it’s very well-built, with a sturdy and insulated stainless steel interior and a weatherproof exterior (sprayed with a number of LineX coatings). They rated its durability an impressive 5 out of 5 stars.
The rest of the setup is quick and easy, according to our product tester—just make sure there’s a power outlet nearby. The tub’s operation was fairly intuitive, and it came with clear instructions. It took our team 35 minutes to fill it with water.
Our product tester described the tub as “super easy” to drain and maintain. The tub has a built-in cleaning and filtration design—with a 20-micron filter, ozone injection sanitation system, and UV sanitation chamber—which helps keep maintenance to a minimum. Sun Home says you’ll need to replace the water and sanitize the tank once a month and clean the filter every two weeks, with residential use.
According to Sun Home Saunas, the Cold Plunge Pro operates at “minimal decibel levels,” for a quieter cold plunge experience. This is actually the most powerful cold plunge we've ever tested but also the quietest, a very rare combination.
This cold plunge tub is also pretty roomy, measuring 6.5 feet long. There are two vents that need 15-27 inches of clearance for proper ventilation, so given that and the tub’s size, you’ll need adequate space for it. Our tester noted that it measures 47 inches long internally, with plenty of room to stretch your legs out. They said it’s a great cold plunge tub for people of all heights, and that it’s also easy to get in and out of; though another product tester preferred using a small step stool to help them get in and out.
As one of the most luxurious cold plunge models on the market, Sun Home’s Cold Plunge Pro has a sleek and appealing design, with colorful interior and exterior LED lighting. The tub’s control panel is easy to use, according to our product tester. There’s also a padded headrest for comfort
While it’s one of the most expensive cold plunge tubs on the market at $9,099, our product tester says it’s worth the money, rating it 4.8 out of 5 stars for value.
