Excellent product, we use it every day. It looks great also. Quality is excellent and definitely value for money. Best investment I've made in a long time
We bought the Polar unit to enable us o create an Ice Plunge barrel out of an old whisky barrel to go along with our other facilities at Cabins at The Coach House.
We’ve had it running in a test mode for about a week now and really impressed with the chiller. Even in this hot weather it’s keeping the barrel a cool 6c and it’s in direct sunlight.
Hope to more it into its final position next week whereupon our guests can start to enjoy the frosticles!!
Easier to assemble than all the naysayers on reddit would suggest. There are really only three connectors to attach plus the fixed plate and filter to the side. No leaks other than on drainage valve on ice bath, probably need to replace a washer - my bad. A waterproof cover for wet weather would be nice, currently using cover from previous ice bath as stand in. Filter housing dripped initially while running but after cleaning and retightening problem resolved. Colder, cleaner water to plunge in during the four months of summer makes it good buy imo.
Brilliant product, service and great company to deal with. Would highly recommend
To start with I was skeptical and purchasing this unit, but it has been a game changer. First of all, I don’t like going to the gym. I prefer steam over dry heat. I ordered the unit from the US but when I receive the unit, the steam unit is set up for 220 which is not available here in the US. I contacted Polar to make a long story short. They made it right and reimburse me the cost of a converter unit.
The sauna provides excellent steam, and heat and recovery for muscles has been amazing. I’ve used it during the winter months, which can be quite cold here in Michigan. I use essential oils like eucalyptus and frankincense and it’s helped with taking care of a few minor cold symptoms, stuffy head and congestion issues. I would definitely recommend this company as the unit outputs plenty of steam for the size.
Excellent service from when we ordered to when it was installed. We were kept informed throughout the process and the two guys who installed our sauna were very friendly and professional throughout. We have been using our sauna for approximately 2weeks and can certainly feel the benefits and my disabled partner has said it’s helped with her arthritis and pain relief
Revolutionary idea to use Ice baths to regenerate the body and mind fester!
Especially the polar Recovery Ice bath is of really good quality and I would always prefer the thicker 2.0 Version, especially the price Difference is not that Big at the moment!
The poles are made of synthetics and could eventually broken after years of working, due to sun Light and physical pressure... but the material and the construction of the Ice bath itself is solid!
Have fun and change the present!
Happy with it if the chiller was cheaper I’d get one
We are 100% pleased with our super stylish barrel sauna. Took a while to come but worth the waiting. Customer service was superb. Thank you.
Design is beautuful, solid craftmanship and great space inside. The harvia heater heats up fast and holds the temperature.
The whole experience is premium and it's a centerpiece in our backyard.
Had this sauna working for a week and thoroughly enjoying it. The Harvia Spirit heater looks lush and the WiFi feature works seamlessly to provide total control over timing and temperature whilst away from home. The team at Polar Recovery were in contact throughout the build and set up whenever needed to iron out and quickly resolve any issues or questions.
Couldn’t be happier with this IR Sauna. Met my expectations 150% in ( Heat , comfort & looks )The lads who put it together were professional and Very helpful. Onwards and upwards 👌
After visiting Iceland and Norway and experiencing, enjoying and feeling the benefits of sauna and cold plunge I was desperate to have something I could use as often as possible. I bought the cold plunge ice bath and steam sauna for circa £210. Absolute bargain for what is quality equipment. Easy to set up and easy to use a perfect combination so much so that I’ve built a sauna room from timber and old pallets and have my own little space to simply relax, detox and recover. Don’t hesitate, just buy one. You will not regret it.
We decided on an infrared outdoor sauna after trying one out on holiday. Polar Recovery have been excellent on every step of the way from deciding which one to choose, ordering, advice on groundworks and electrical requirements. The installation on the day was smooth and quick, with the team taking away all the packaging and explaining the controls and use.
After a couple of weeks in a high wind the glass door flew open and smashed. Mike and his team arrived the following morning with a new glass door and a temporary answer to lock the door shut whilst they investigated a more permanent solution.
I cannot praised Polar Recovery enough, they have been first class every time we needed them and so would 100% recommend them to anyone.
Thanks again.
Received the Mini Chiller and very happy with the quality. Bought it just in time with the warm weather we are now having. Had a nice 4.5c plunge with the warm sun on my face. Doesn't get much better! :)
Am thrilled with my Polar recovery tub ,
Am new to ice bath therapy but have used my recovery tub a number of times since i got it and its an amazing feeling during and after i have used it .
No doubt the befits of ice baths will increase the more i use it . Excellent purchase 👍
I love this thing. Training for long distance arctic stuff. I need recovery and inflammation reduction in the knees and legs. This definitely does it for that. Fully recommended. Weirdly about a minute or 2 after I get out. My sex drive goes off the scale. Total bonus.
Great service from start to finish
Kept me informed on my order which arrived within a few days as promised.
So easy to set up.
Extremely pleased with my purchase it goes well with my polar recovery sauna my wife had bought me for my birthday. I have converted my outhouse to my new recovery room as I love to run long distances and workout regularly. If you’re serious about cold plunge this is what you need.
I get a wellbeing allowance from my work. I saw a person who is struggling on insta and found their path using ice baths.
I had a little look into them and saw the benefits such as recovery, alertness and more so resilience and mindset.
I thought nah these are going to be expensive then researched. It was between polar and another well known brand. I took the plunge...get it and went for a tub 2 with mat and thermometer.
It was not the easiest to set up and still haven't got the perfect circle...there are many kinks and feel this could have been easier. I watched the YouTube video and she presented like it would be really smooth.
Anywho, realistically I don't need perfection. I use the tub every other day at around 8 degrees. Read into it and I feel no need to go colder as already reaping the benefit. I'm doing 11-14 mins a week, I feel my mindset and alertness has improved. I can concentrate and control my breathing.
The tub itself is very sturdy, I can't see how it would get damaged unless abused. It's comfortable and easy to clean. The adapters on the side are handy as helps me empty the water bits at a time.
The lids so far have kept the water out....and it's been really windy and stormy.
Love the tub, love the mat...great wording which I read and say every time I get in. Stop thinking...get in. That's it. No hesitation, just do. I used to be a faffer but no...in straight away!
Thank you for making it affordable for such a good, sturdy product!
What a great set up. Recently converted my garage into a gym. I hunted for a sauna for a while and this and another competitor was in my top two. I had a few questions and emailed both companies. After this Mike was my point of contact, he blew me over with his great customer service so i brought one. Delivered with ease, took a day longer but hey these things happen sometimes. The sauna was very easy to set up, that being said push the polls right into the connectors to make it easier for the tent to go on the frame. 10 to 12mins for the steam unit to heat up and bam, good to go. I didn't think the seat would be so comfortable but dam for a foldable chair i sat and had a 30min sauna with great comfort. Nice to take the chair out and use standing too. For the money and what you get I'd say its a winner. One other point that won me over was this sauna's steamer is 1500w comparing to others it has more power at the price point and preforms very well. Thanks polar recovery and man like mike!
Fantastic ice bath, great service, Michael in customer service was great - had a puncture in the rim when delivered and he sorted it and has a new one in days!
Definitely recommend for future.
Great product, delivered efficiently perfect weather at the moment! I’ve been smashing the ice just to get in. Very good
Thanks to the team, very helpful before purchasing and installation was made easy by the team.
Great work
Works perfectly, happy to tip toe onto this bad boy after doffing my sliders just before taking the epic daily plunge.
