Ice Barrel

Ice Barrel manufactures upright, fully insulated cold-plunge barrels in the USA in two sizes: the Ice Barrel 300, shorter and wider at 35.5" W x 30.5" H and 61 lb empty (700 lb full), which fits most users up to about 6 ft and is easier to step into without a stool; and the Ice Barrel 500 at 57.6" x 30.7" x 42.1" and 106 lb empty (900 lb full), which fits users up to 6'9" and adds built-in stairs and an interior seat. Both are fully insulated with built-in chiller ports and fit through a standard 31-inch door, which the company positions for apartments and balconies. Its separately sold Chiller is app-enabled, rated under 55 dB, and removes the need for ice runs; the Ice Barrel 500 + Chiller bundle lists at $5,749.98 and is FSA/HSA eligible. Maintenance is a drain spout that connects to a standard garden hose, with water changes recommended roughly every four weeks. (Source: icebarrel.com, fetched 2026-08-07.)
