Who should buy which
Buyers testing whether they'll commit to a cold plunge habit, or those who want the cheapest credible vertical immersion.
You plunge daily, ice is expensive where you live, or you want horizontal full-body immersion.
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.
