Why We Like It

The AURGOD 2-Person Red Cedar Hot & Cold Plunge combines the warmth of natural wood with the convenience of a modern temperature-controlled immersion system. Its Canadian red cedar exterior, stainless-steel interior and oval shape give it a premium spa-inspired appearance that should coordinate especially well with an outdoor sauna or backyard wellness retreat.

We particularly like the 37°F–107°F temperature range, which allows the same system to transition from cold immersion to warm soaking. The included 1HP chiller/heater, filtration, UV water treatment and protective lid also make this a more complete package than tubs that require these components to be purchased separately.

Best For

Homeowners looking for a premium wood cold plunge with warm-soak capability and enough room for one person to spread out comfortably or, according to the manufacturer, accommodate up to two users.

It's especially well suited to a backyard wellness space, sauna area or dedicated home wellness room where natural materials are an important part of the overall design.

Features Worth Considering

• 37°F–107°F temperature range: Provides both cold-plunge and warm-soaking capability.
• 1HP chiller/heater included: Temperature-control equipment is included rather than requiring a separate purchase.
• Canadian red cedar exterior: Gives the plunge a natural, upscale appearance particularly appropriate for sauna and outdoor settings.
• Stainless-steel interior: Creates a durable immersion surface and contributes to temperature retention.
• Generous oval design: Approximately 51"W × 36"D × 28"H provides a spacious alternative to narrow vertical plunge barrels.
• Up to 2-person capacity: Manufacturer describes the tub as suitable for two users, although individual comfort will depend on user size.
• Integrated filtration: Chiller incorporates a filter to help manage water during regular use.
• UV water treatment: Adds another component to the system's water-management process.
• Digital controls: Large-screen interface provides direct control of temperature settings.
• Mobile chiller unit: Wheels on the temperature-control unit make repositioning the equipment easier when appropriate.
• Insulated construction: Cedar exterior and stainless-steel interior are designed to help reduce temperature loss.
• Protective lid included: Package includes a black cover/lid.

Things to Know Before Buying

AURGOD provides unusually useful information regarding cold-weather operation, which is important for anyone considering this plunge for year-round outdoor use.

According to the supplied information, heating efficiency can decline when ambient temperatures fall to approximately 40°F or below, with performance also affected by humidity. In freezing conditions around 25°F and below, the system may not achieve the selected water temperature.

More importantly, the manufacturer states that the chiller is not designed to operate below 5°F ambient temperature, because extremely low temperatures may affect the unit's lubricating oil and potentially damage the equipment. Buyers in cold-winter climates should plan accordingly and follow AURGOD's winterization and operating instructions carefully.

The manufacturer lists the tub as accommodating two people, but at approximately 51" × 36", this will be a relatively intimate two-person configuration. Buyers primarily interested in maximum personal space may find it better suited to single-person use.

The supplied information does not specify the voltage, amperage, water capacity, dry weight or filled operating weight. Confirm these details before preparing the installation site.
