So rare these days to find a product online that isn’t over promising and under delivering. the saunapod delivers! Incredible quality, no plastic smells, premium cotton garment, sauna heats up to 185F as advertised, super comfortable chair I could go on. I’ll usually only write online reviews when it’s a negative one, but credit where credit is due, this sauna is an amazing invention, truly the same experience as a wooden sauna, you have all my respect well done, game changer!

Upgraded from another companies cheaper pod and immediately noticed a different in both quality and lay out.  The new one is bigger and I absolutely love the chiller, that is a game changer and worth every penny

Game changer! I've used the ice pod every day since i got it. only need to add ice every 3-4 days as water stays super cold even though it's summer here (got the PRO 2.0 version with extra insulation).

The Sauna Pod has been amazing so far. It gets to 185F very quickly (15ish minutes) and at 6’4” 200 lbs I still fit in it comfortably. The “window” off of the front allows me to watch my TV in my garage where I set mine up. Easy to clean, takes up minimal space, and works as well as any sauna I have been in before. Actually, this gets hotter than other larger, more expensive wooden/glass saunas priced $2500+. You rocked it with this product!

I got the ice bath, chiller, and cover set. They are all incredible! Water is consistently at 50F (give or take 1F) and it's quiet, clean, and was easy to set up. Fit perfectly in my outdoor gym, and have used it every day so far. Really glad I got it; so far completely worth it!

Worth every penny! No longer worry about buying bags of ice and can just jump in every morning. Definitely recommend for anyone who lives in a warmer area or doesn’t want to spend the time and money buying bags of ice.

I got this as a birthday gift for my husband who has daily back pain (had back surgery years ago). I noticed him taking pain reliever daily, and thought, “we have to try something else”. He LOVES it and has used it at least once daily since setting it up, AND has skipped the pain reliever. We are so grateful not only for the pain relief, but for the other effects- mood boost, more energy, better sleep. I am expecting, but can’t wait til I can jump in!

Out of the many benefits cold therapy has, my favorite is the mental discipline it takes and the changes it can have on how you handle stress. I’m so glad I finally purchased The Ice Pod, my body and mind feels amazing every day!

I have been eyeing the IcePod for so long and I finally went for it. I thought I’d be the only one super excited about it but my entire family has been utilizing and benefiting from it. We have a 13 year old soccer player and 10 year old gymnast. My husband and I are both active as well. The muscle recovery, energy & mood boost, and stress reduction benefits have been so incredible in the short amount of time we’ve used it. My one and only complaint is that the water hasn’t stayed cool in the summer heat. We really want the water chiller, but weren’t really prepared to spend $$$ on that just yet. It was extremely easy to set up, fill up, empty, and use. 10/10 would recommend for affordability and ease of use.

As someone who suffers from arthritis, joint problems, back pain, and general inflammation, my Ice Pod has been a revelation. Not only does it make me feel refreshed and more clear-headed when I plunge, but my body feels younger and stronger. The Pod is well built, easy to transport, and overall an incredible value.
