QUICK VERDICT
The home cryo system that doesn't require liquid nitrogen - CryoBuilt Everest uses electric refrigeration, which changes the install + operating economics dramatically.
- Best for
- Home buyers wanting daily cryo without the nitrogen logistics. Family offices building dedicated wellness rooms. Athletes who want session-on-demand without commute to a cryo studio.
- Drawback
- The -166F floor is warmer than the -200F that nitrogen commercial cryosaunas hit, so buyers who specifically want the coldest possible exposure will not get it here.
- Editor score
- 8.7/10 (how we rank)
Most cryotherapy chambers operate at -200°F using liquid nitrogen, which means recurring nitrogen tank deliveries ($300-600/month at home), an evaporator install, and the safety overhead of cryogenic gas. CryoBuilt eliminated that with electric refrigeration - the Everest reaches -166°F using a multi-stage compressor system, no nitrogen, on a 230V, 70 amp electrical supply.
The trade vs nitrogen-based systems: lower temperature floor (-166°F vs -200°F). Operating cost drops from $300-600/month (nitrogen) to ~$5-10/day (electricity). Maintenance is comparable to a high-end chest freezer.
For home buyers, the Everest is genuinely the practical pick - the nitrogen-based competitors require infrastructure most homes can't easily accommodate. CryoBuilt (founded 2015) launched the Everest in 2020, so it has roughly six years in market, and the manufacturer cites hundreds of installations to date, predominantly commercial rather than private-residence.
Home buyers wanting daily cryo without the nitrogen logistics. Family offices building dedicated wellness rooms. Athletes who want session-on-demand without commute to a cryo studio.
You need below -166°F floor (rare for non-clinical use), or you can't accommodate the 230V, 70 amp install and the 9 by 4.5 by 3 ft chamber plus CryoBrain.
Pros
- Electric multi-stage refrigeration reaches -166F with no liquid nitrogen, which eliminates the $300 to $600 per month tank deliveries, the evaporator install, and the asphyxiation-risk overhead that define nitrogen cryosaunas.
- Operating cost drops to roughly $5 to $10 per day in electricity, and maintenance is comparable to a high-end commercial chest freezer (annual coil cleaning, occasional refrigerant top-off, door seals every 3 to 5 years).
- CryoBuilt states the chamber reaches as low as -166F (-110C), with a perceived exposure of up to -175F at Level 4, so buyers give up temperature headroom versus -200F nitrogen units.
- Credible, in-market US manufacturer: CryoBuilt was founded in 2015 and launched the Everest in 2020, giving it roughly six years of field history and a manufacturer-cited install base in the hundreds, predominantly commercial.
- A 230V, 70 amp electric install, listed by CryoBuilt at 9 by 4.5 by 3 feet for the chamber plus CryoBrain, with no evaporator or cryogenic plumbing. CryoBuilt lists it at $115,500 (Essential) to $135,500 (Elite) on its product page and sells it direct by quote (the product page reads Request Equipment Information and asks for a Purchase Authorization Code at checkout), so confirm current pricing before buying.
Cons
- The -166F floor is warmer than the -200F that nitrogen commercial cryosaunas hit, so buyers who specifically want the coldest possible exposure will not get it here.
- Whole-body cryotherapy as a category rests on a modest independent evidence base for longevity outcomes, so this is a comfort, recovery, and routine purchase, not a proven clinical intervention.
- Six-figure entry, a dedicated 230V, 70 amp supply, and a wellness-room footprint put it out of reach for anyone without the space and budget for a permanent install, and the manufacturer's install base skews commercial rather than private-residence.

CryoBuilt Everest - buyer FAQ
CryoBuilt Everest vs Impact Cryotherapy - which one?
Not really a head-to-head anymore. The CryoBuilt Everest is a current electric (no-nitrogen) whole-body cryo chamber that hits -166F and runs $115,500 to $135,500. Impact Cryotherapy made liquid-nitrogen commercial cryosaunas, ceased operations around 2022, and its line is now serviced by Cryo-XS - so it is not a current buyable product. If you want a new whole-body cold setup, the Everest (or another electric no-nitrogen chamber) is the relevant choice; Impact is only relevant if you already own a unit.
Why pick electric cryo over the nitrogen-based commercial systems?
Three reasons. (1) Operating cost: ~$5-10/day electricity vs $300-600/month in nitrogen tank deliveries. (2) Install simplicity: a 230V, 70 amp electrical supply vs nitrogen evaporator + outdoor tank + safety review. (3) Safety: no cryogenic gas asphyxiation risk. The trade is a higher temperature floor (-166F vs -200F).
How much maintenance does the Everest need?
Comparable to a high-end commercial chest freezer. Annual coil cleaning, occasional refrigerant top-off, replace door seals every 3-5 years. CryoBuilt covers parts, labor and remote support under its Protect program for the first 1 to 2 years depending on package, with continued enrollment available after that. No nitrogen logistics means no recurring delivery fees and no tank rental.
