Ice Barrel 300 review

The Ice Barrel 300 is the budget way into a rigid, insulated cold plunge. Ice Barrel lists it at $1,449.00 with an insulated lid and protective cover, or $5,149.98 with the Ice Barrel Chiller. At 35.5 × 35.5 × 30.5 in and 61 lb empty, it fits apartments, balconies and garage corners, and its 30.5 in height means you can step in without a stool. It holds 77 gal (292 L), weighs about 700 lbs filled and has an internal seat for upright sitting, though Ice Barrel says it suits body sizes up to 6' tall. The barrel is made in the USA from recycled materials, ships within 2-3 business days and carries a limited lifetime warranty on material defects. The trade-off is the same as the 500: without a chiller you cool the water with ice, and the chiller costs $4,299 on its own. Taller users should step up to the Ice Barrel 500.
