OMK Portable Ice Bath Tub, Cold Plunge Tub with Lid, 185 Gallon Ice Plunge Tub for Home Therapy Ice Bathtub for Athletes and Adults (Black)

As an athlete and aviator, your body gets pretty beat up. I am 5'10", 175lbs and I fit very comfortably in this tub with daily use for 3-5 minutes with the chiller set to 39 deg F.I primarily stuck to ice baths in my bathtub because it was easy, but not convenient. Ice gets expensive if you do it 2-3 times a week. I wanted to do them daily for 3-5 minutes but ice wouldn't work. I looked at Ice Barrel but $1000 for a tub alone is ridiculous. I also looked at most of the name brands with the same high price tag. I also looked at plastic and aluminum stock tanks but they require drilling and insulation. This stand-up inflatable tub was not what I expected. It is amazing! Do your research, most of the inflatable name brands are made in "China" anyways but charge you way more...Pros:Super sturdy and comes with 3/4" copper female fittings to hook up my chiller/pump/filter.Never had the tub lose air pressure or leak.My 60lb kid likes to sit on the edge and it holds up no problem (obviously not recommended)Insulation is incredible, cannot feel the cold through any of the walls AT ALL.Saves electricity because the chiller has to work WAY LESSCons:If anything...the floor can get a little cold near the tub because the bottom is not insulated. I have mine in the garage, but I also have it on a thick mat so it's not on the bare floor. Problem solved lol.If you're looking at cold plunging, just get one of these and save yourself the countless hours of headache "DIYing" a tub. For the price, you're not saving time or money making a tub. This has been running nonstop for over 6 months with no sign of wear and tear.

This bathtub was incredible. I'm 5'6 and something something hundred pounds. And the basic bathtubs that are built into houses or so tiny my knees are at my chin. In the house I rent the bathtub literally is hanging over just dirt and rock under the house so every time you want a hot soaking bath the water turns so cold so quickly you're constantly having to feed hot water in it. This bathtub fits quite well in my bathtub built onto the house. I used it for the first time last night with apple cider or soak for 25 minutes and my skin I have issues felt so much better. My joints are in so much pain and my muscles are in so much pain that I barely sleep. Well this bathtub allowed me to float it was deep enough that I actually could float my body and that helped my spine to align properly and when I finished with my job my spine pop my gave my arms and shoulders a massage that broke down the muscle that are in ropes. This bathtub is the best therapy I've come across so far for my joint, muscle and spine pains. If you're in pain, or have somebody who is physically bed bound, this bathtub is perfect for water therapy at home while you wait for appointments for other water therapy. Benefits are beyond measurable.

I’ve been cold plunging every day for over two years now and this is the best tub I have ever had. I started with an old wine barrel which was a tight squeeze and only good for the winter months outside. I’ve gone through (3) of the insulated soft side tubs but found they just weren’t very durable. This drop stitch inflatable tub is great. It has plenty of room and is easy to get in and out of. It is very sturdy when filled with air and seem to insulate well to keep my water cold. I use a chiller with it and keep the temperature at 43 degrees.

The media could not be loaded. Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is for how much the sides bow when full of water. I know it’s an inflatable but they bow so much that the lid doesn’t make contact on the sides. It’s hard to see in the video but that’s with the lid centered and there are openings on both sides. I also made sure the pressure was still in the 8-10psi range to help it keep its shape. Other than that, it’s a great tub and I don’t see a reason to return it for that. It’s huge and I fit great in it. I have very broad shoulders and other tubs I’m usually squeezed by the sides. This one I can stretch out. I can also completely straighten my legs and still have the water up to my chin. Great tub!!

This inflatable tub had been working great for our little recovery area. I was going back and forth with other barrels vs. inflation. I needed the ability to move it around but wanted better insulation to keep the chiller from overworking. This works great and it doesn’t have to heavy condensation puddles like a portable tub has. The plumbing is solid fittings and brass threads for internal and external connections- it’s very rigid when inflated and you really can sit on it when the lid is on. I have some small delaminated parts on the underside of the lid but they seem to not pose any issues with leaks at this time. I think the lid could be replaced if needed, I’ve reached out to the manufacturer but have yet to see a response. Other that that it came in great packaging and well protected, the air pump works well and it’s good workout pumping it up, easy to drain and refill as needed. I’ve recommended this unit to those looking for a solid portable cold tub.

Previously, I had a couple of the entry-level ice bathtubs. They were very flimsy and overtime did not hold up. I had received a chiller as a gift. And needed to upgrade my tub. I did a lot of research and came up with this one. I am so happy with this tub. It is super sturdy. Seems to be super durable. It is big. Plenty of room. The threads for the insert chiller piping are brass. Quality all around. I had a couple questions and contacted the seller and I got responses back immediately from Milisa. If you’re looking for an inflatable tub like this one, this is the one to get. Hands-down.

Unit is generally very solid and aesthetically appealing. As mentioned in other reviews, it does bow repeatedly despite tightening valves and reinflating, refilling, etc. Unfortunately, since the top is rigid, it cannot properly cover the tub. My unit was outside and exposed to regular tree and foilage debris that required constant cleaning -- not something that's appealing or a catalyst to cold plunging. I know this is a common problem. Having a more flexible top may have caused me to keep the unit.
