Poorly constructed, horrible customer service
As soon as your warranty runs out, things will start breaking. This product is trash, the customer service is horrible, and it will be an endless frustrating money pit. This product is far too expensive to be constructed so poorly. It feels like something new breaks every few months, and the cost to replace it is always a few hundred bucks. This time they want over a hundred bucks just to diagnose the issue. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS COMPANY, THEY ARE UNRELIABLE.
I’m obsessed with the the Plunge all in Gen 2. Bought it before my hip replacement surgery and it dramatically helped reduce my inflammation and significantly increased my mental toughness before the surgery. Started with 1:30 at 50 degrees and I’m up to 3 min at 48 degrees. Taking the bath twice a day and look forward to using it post surgery. Great product in first week of use.

Hi Trevor, thank you for sharing such a powerful story! We are incredibly honored to be a part of your pre-surgery preparation and so glad to hear the Plunge All In Gen 2 has helped with inflammation and mental toughness. 3 minutes at 48 degrees is impressive! Sending you our very best wishes for a smooth and speedy recovery post-surgery—we look forward to helping you bounce back!
Happy Plunging!

Sauna Mini
I own a Plunge Sauna Mini. Although the product itself has had some issues, the customer service team has been quick to fix them. I would and have recommended it to many friends.

The quality of the motor and the…
The quality of the motor and the chiller are substandard cheap parts from china and the warranty is pretty limited. Motor broke about 2 years after purchase and the chiller about 30 months. They want to charge a fee of $135 just to speak with you. Honestly all parts are after market and not high quality. For what you pay, I’d expect more. Won’t buy from plunge again.

Follow up
I had some issues with my two units: 1 stopped working after about 6 months, the other shortly after. The company contacted me and provided solutions and help. Still working through getting things resolved, but it's looking promising! Will keep you posted.

Plunge xl pro chiller
I’ve had my plunge for a few years and it’s become a staple in my routine. I use it pretty consistently to assist with a back injury/ maintenance and also post gym.
Some mornings I’ll dip first thing in the am to wake me up.
I’ve noticed a difference and I’m glad I purchased the plunge with its easy operation and cleaning schedule. The app is great to get my tub ready for use whenever I need it.
Customer service is always readily available and assist me with whatever I need and are great at following up to make sure my issue is resolved.

It’s amazing to hear how the XL Pro has become such a reliable staple in your morning routine, post-gym recovery, and injury maintenance. We're also glad to hear you're loving the app functionality and our support team. Cheers to many more years of refreshing dips!
Happy Plunging!

The Worst Company and Customer Service Ever!
Last winter I had flooding from my Plunge tub that ruined my hardwood floors. After a month of back and forth (always at least 1 week between responses I'd get from the company!), they finally sent a repairman out. He showed up late. I sent the text exchange that I had with the service rep to Plunge (evidence that he was hours late), to which the Plunge rep said "he said he was on time". Really??? Already upset with the lack of responsiveness and helpfulness, this really started to tip the scales. Then the service rep didn't reinstall the chiller properly, resulting in worse flooding. I asked to have my case escalated to someone else at Plunge. The service rep said he would escalate it to himself. Are you serious?? I found multiple exec and reached out to them on LinkedIn and asked to speak directly to them but they refused. Another 1.5 months later they finally replaced the chiller (and I had to replace all my flooring!).
Now, 6 months later the replacement chiller has just stopped working. Hoping I might get better service, I reached out to start a claim. It has been 17 days, I have received one response saying "i'm sending this to our engineers" and I've heard nothing else.
It's unbelievable. I'm going on a crusade now to tell people to: STAY AWAY FROM PLUNGE! It's just not worth it.

Absolutely horrible customer service
Absolutely horrible customer service. I’ve been through two chillers already. I suppose if you never have any issues and never have to deal with their customer service your experience might be OK but like many people online I’ve had nothing but issues in the two years Ive had my Plunge. Given the investment it takes to buy one of these I would stay away from this company and go with a different company.

Terrible support
I bought a first generation cold plunge and there have been two issues in the first 2.5 years. The support for the product is terrible. It has been three weeks and my issue remains unresolved and it is largely from a lack of response and caring from this team. I got an initial response and sent in videos and it took two weeks to hear back that they think I need a new pump and would I like an invoice and instructions. Well, yes I would but why has it been a week since that response and I still don’t know pricing or how I would fix this. DO NOT BUY

Plunge repair support is terrible
Plunge repair support is terrible. Everytime I have a problem with my unit the support process changes, which tends to be about every 6 months! The current repair process requries you to submit a repair ticket. But, you have to have an external warranty ticket number from XCover in order for the the process to move forward. Older customers like me aren't registered with XCover. If you aren't registered with XCover then the process ends. Also, if you try to set up a call for assitance you have to schedule one and they are weeks out from any open times. I did have commumications with a gentleman at repairs@plunge but he kept asking the same troubleshooting questions over and over. It seems like they have no idea what they are doing. And now I haven't recieved any further word from him for over 4 days. I advise you to find a cold plunge that has better customer service...someone you can actually talk to immediately.

Developed a leak about a month after installed. I have been trying for 6 weeks to get it repaired. Unable to talk with anyone in support. Sales staff answers phone and says to fill out online support request. This results in 2-3 day delay with subsequent request for photos and videos. After submitting these they ask for more videos that appear unrelated to the issue. They want to see where plugged in. Then they send a part to me after another 10 days. The problem is- not the area where the leak is located so still leaking. Start process over. They ask for more videos but the email bounces back saying not monitored and need to start a new ticket. Probably another 2 weeks before they will respond. Beyond frustrated. May try to send the whole thing back for a refund and try a better company.

The Reviews are here to help you!
Before you buy from Plunge, PLEASE do your homework.
Go to BBB and Trustpilot and filter for the 1-star reviews.... not the glowing early reviews, because I wrote one of those once too.
Then ask yourself one question: if something goes wrong with my unit, does this sound like a company that will make it right?
And based on those reviews, things do go wrong. More than you'd expect for a product at this price point.
I've been a Plunge customer for several years. Over that time I experienced MULTIPLE product failures that Plunge serviced, under a warranty they later claimed didn't exist.
When I pushed back, I was met with silence. I emailed the CEO directly, multiple times, and never received a single response.
My only option was small claims court.
I represented myself. Plunge sent an attorney from Lewis Brisbois, a national law firm, to argue against me. The judge awarded me $5,000. Plunge has since appealed.
I'd be curious if you do the math on what that lawyer cost versus simply honoring a warranty.
I'm sharing this not to relitigate anything, but because the pattern matters. Read how Plunge responds to complaints on those review sites, not just that complaints exist. On the positive reviews you'll often see an enthusiastic "thank you, we love our customers." The negative ones are frequently left without a response at all. They know these reviews exist. That silence is a choice.
One last thing: Plunge blocked me on Instagram and removed my comments directing people to those same BBB and Trust Pilot reviews. So when you're scrolling through and things look mostly positive, understand that the negative comments and anyone saying "check BBB or Trustpilot" have been actively removed. What you're seeing is a curated version of reality.
Then ask yourself: is this a company you want to deal with if something goes wrong?

The Plunge Support System is…
The Plunge Support System is infuriating. There is no way to reasonably get in touch with a live human being. I submitted my service tickets and have waited months to get anything repaired more than once. I cannot even schedule a customer service phone call for over a week. I received an email from support asking for specific feedback, responded, then got an email stating "this email inbox it unmonitored." I wish I had never purchased plunge. Addendum-it is now 7/3/2026 and we are still waiting to hear back from plunge repair to schedule a repair with their team.
This is an update on a previous post. After being contacted by Brian Shannon from the Plunge Repair Team, he personally guided the necessary steps to get a new chiller sent to our home. When that didn't resolve all the problems, he arranged for a technician to come out several times until all the issues were resolved. I am happy to report that our Plunge is now up and running and am grateful that we were able to resolve these issues. It has restored my faith in this company and feel that through this process, the owners of Plunge listened to the concerns and did whatever they had to do to resolve them. Thank you Brian for your patience and understanding through this process and for addressing my concerns in a professional manner. We are once again able to enjoy the benefits of our investment. Thank you.

spent 10k on this useless plastic tub
I spent approximately $10,000 on this system because I wanted a high-quality product that would last. There were much cheaper options available, but I believed paying a premium would mean receiving a better product and dependable support. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience.
The unit was delivered near the end of summer 2024, so I did not have an opportunity to install and use it until 2025. Once I began using it, I encountered several problems. I contacted customer support and attempted to troubleshoot the issues, but we were never able to reach a resolution.
I followed up again in the spring of 2026, and since then, my calls and support requests have gone unanswered. The company states that it responds within 24 to 48 hours, but that has not been the case for me.
My biggest complaint is not simply that the system broke. Products sometimes have problems, and I understand that. The real issue is that when something goes wrong, there appears to be no reliable service or support available. This is not a standard appliance that can easily be repaired by a local plumber or technician. Without assistance from the manufacturer, the customer is essentially stuck with an extremely expensive plastic tub that cannot be properly used.
At this point, I may be forced to purchase an entirely new system—not because this one cannot necessarily be repaired, but because the company will not respond or help me determine what is wrong.
Before purchasing, understand that the true value of a premium product is not only the product itself, but the service available when something goes wrong. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend spending buying the plunge all in one cold plunge. There are many competing products available, including less expensive options, from companies that may provide more dependable customer support.

SO HAPPY WITH PLUNGE INSTALL OF MY MINI-SAUNA
I just want to say my buying experience with Plunge and my installation experience with my new mini-Sauna went GREAT! Plunge was proactively in touch with me about shipping, the installation, etc. Plunge Install, the people who were going to actually build and install it (different people delivered it) were also super responsive and really took care of me. It was an outdoor installation and we've had so much it had to be rescheduled a couple of times and they were SO polite and responsive, it was great. Then, even today, when they installed it, rain was predicted (again). But Plunge Intall (Gio) found a 2 hour window during which it didn't rain and they made it happen. They even helped one of my employees set up the Plunge app, and showed us how to use the app and explained the manually operating elements of the sauna. It was GREAT! Thank you Plunge and Plunge Install!

Thank you, Tara! We love hearing this! Thank you for sharing your experience. Our team works incredibly hard to ensure delivery and installation go smoothly—even when the weather doesn't want to cooperate.

I cannot recommend Plunge based on my…
I cannot recommend Plunge based on my experience. The chiller has developed a major leak multiple times, specifically after water changes and once the cooling cycle begins. The amount of water lost is substantial, and the leak appears to originate from somewhere inside the unit, making it extremely difficult to diagnose or repair.
What makes this even more frustrating is that this is not an isolated incident. The exact same problem has happened repeatedly. I’ve spent countless hours draining the tub, inspecting connections, disassembling components, and attempting various fixes, only to have the leak return again. At one point, the unit sat unused for weeks before it randomly stopped leaking, which suggests there may be a deeper design or quality-control issue.
Customer support has been disappointing and has not provided a clear or permanent solution. For a premium product at this price point, I expected far better reliability and much stronger technical support.
When the system works, the cold plunge itself is great. Unfortunately, reliability is what matters most, and repeatedly dealing with major leaks has turned what should be a wellness product into a recurring maintenance headache. Until Plunge addresses these issues, I would strongly caution prospective buyers to do their research before purchasing.
