The Plunge Pod takes the chiller and app from Plunge's flagship and puts them in a smaller upright tub, which makes it the pick for apartments, small patios and garage corners. Plunge lists it at $4,890 during its Black Friday sale against a comp value of $6,990. The acrylic tub has a reclined seat, measures W 63" x D 30" and gives full immersion to people up to 6'7". The Pro Chiller cools to as low as 37° F, and Plunge says the Gen 2 version cools up to 12ºF per hour and is 35% more efficient. An insulated lid, maintenance kit, safety strap, phone holder and skimmer net come in the box, and it runs from a 120 volt, 15 amp standard GFCI outlet. The limits are the same as The Plunge: a 1-year base warranty, an extra $500 for heating and a price tied to the current promotion. If you want a laydown tub, pay the extra $1,055 for The Plunge.
