Ice bags get old fast. Once you’ve hauled 40 pounds of ice to the garage a few times, a tub with its own chiller starts looking reasonable. The RECOVEREX 88 Gallon Pro Grade bundle pairs an inflatable canvas tub with a 1125W chiller. Amazon listed it at $2,049.99 when we checked in October 2026, and the price moves around.
That’s a fraction of what hard shell plunges cost, but it’s still real money. Here’s what the spec sheet tells you and where the compromises are.
Key Features
Chills to 41°F
The 1125W chiller cycles to hold whatever target you set, down to 41°F, with no ice required.
WiFi app control
Set the temperature and check the tub from your phone. The unit also shows Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Two stage filtration
Built in filtration keeps water circulating between changes, and two spare filters come in the box.
Portable setup
RECOVEREX says setup takes about 15 minutes. The tub packs into an included backpack and the chiller has carry handles.
Who It’s For
Daily plungers. If you get in the cold four or more times a week, a chiller pays for itself in time and ice money within a season or two. You get in, it’s already cold, you get out.
If you plunge once a week, skip it. A $60 to $300 tub and a few bags of ice cover occasional use just fine. Our budget ice bath tub picks cover that route.
Things to Check Before You Buy
- Power: the chiller is built for standard 100 to 130V, 60Hz US outlets. Running it on the wrong voltage can damage it and void the warranty.
- Winter storage: RECOVEREX says to bring the chiller indoors when temperatures drop, so plan a spot for it.
- Inflatable tub: the canvas tub is UV resistant and built for daily use, but it’s still softer than a rigid plunge. Keep it away from sharp edges.
- Review count: about 33 ratings so far. The average is high at 4.9, but that’s a small sample.
Chiller Plunge vs Ice
A bag of ice runs a few dollars and drops an 80 gallon tub only so far, especially in summer. Daily plungers can easily spend $30 to $60 a week on ice. A chiller also holds a steady temperature, so every session feels the same, which makes it easier to build a routine.
Pros & Cons
What Stands Out
- Holds water as low as 41°F without ice
- WiFi app for temperature control
- Filtration with two spare filters included
- Packs down for moving between rooms or the gym
Worth Knowing
- About $2,000 is a lot for an inflatable tub
- Only about 33 ratings so far
- Chiller needs indoor storage in cold weather
- US 100 to 130V outlets only

Final Verdict
The RECOVEREX 88 Gallon bundle is a reasonable way to get a true no ice plunge at home if you’ll use it most days, thanks to the 1125W chiller, 41°F floor and WiFi control. At around $2,000 for an inflatable tub with only a few dozen ratings, occasional plungers should stick with a cheap tub and ice.
