Who should buy which
Budget buyers testing the cold habit at the lowest possible entry, and anyone planning to add the $899.99 Advanced Cold Chiller later instead of buying an all-in-one now.
You already know you'll plunge daily, in which case one integrated chillered tub beats buying a tub and chiller separately, or you want published dimensions and warranty terms up front.
Budget-conscious buyers who want chillered convenience (and built-in heat to 104°F) but can't justify a five-figure tub - accept an inflatable build and some warranty downside for the lowest chillered price.
You want a rigid shell, the longest warranty (Plunge or Renu), or maximum service-network depth.
