Viking Premier Cold Plunge

I’ve owned a few cold plunges , and this one stands out as the most thoughtfully engineered unit I’ve used.

First off, the aesthetics are top-notch. It looks premium, clean, and modern, making it something I’m actually proud to have in my space.

The chiller performs phenomenally. Whether I’m heating the water or bringing it down to cold plunge temperatures, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do and maintains temperature consistently. One of my favorite features is the ability to control the chiller directly from my phone. Being able to adjust settings remotely is incredibly convenient and makes using the plunge even easier.

The filtration system is another huge plus. Having dual filters keeps the water crystal clear and dramatically reduces maintenance. The water stays sparkling clean, which gives me confidence that the system is doing its job.

What really impressed me, though, is the attention to detail in the engineering. The vertical tub design is extremely well thought out, and small touches make a huge difference in day-to-day use. For example, the floor of the tub is slightly angled toward the dedicated drain, allowing the water to drain almost completely on its own. That may sound minor, but it’s a game changer when it comes time to clean and maintain the unit.

My previous plunge from another company was a headache to drain. I had to disconnect hoses and physically tip the entire tub over just to get the remaining water out. With this setup, draining is quick,…

My new Viking Hybrid is IMPRESSIVE. I purchased it after researching options and knew it was well made but it impresses more in person. Setting it up was a breeze; the print and online guidance was almost overkill it was so simple. It took about fifteen minutes to connect everything and another fifteen to fill. I turned the chiller on and it was ready for plunge in less than an hour. HOWEVER, I'm not pleased with its size. The online specs indicate a footprint much smaller than the actual installed footprint. The online specs don't include how much room the valves and hoses require and the distance away the chiller ends up because of the hose length (I realize that also provides some flexibility in positioning and accessing the chiller but that isn't revealed in the online specs). I suspect others are also interested in the Viking Hybrid because of its small footprint and recommend Nordic Wave adjust its online specs to reflect the actual installed footprint dimensions.

I'm 6'2" and my wife is 5'5" and we selected the Hybrid for its easy access w/o requiring steps. The build quality is excellent and the chiller is very quiet. The setup was a breeze and took about 20 minutes. Sophie was incredibly helpful during the shopping phase. I was concerned about the size of the plunge and my height. She answered all of my questions thoroughly and eased my concerns about the Hybrid. We absolutely love it and it is the perfect size. Finally, Sophie continued to follow up after delivery as the plunge cover was on back order. If you're on the fence, don't be, this is a solid product with an excellent company behind it!

I was vaguely aware of cold plunging, but viewed it as something only NFL players did. Once I looked into it after reading an article, I discovered how it could benefit me as I am transforming my life with a better diet, regular exercise, and focusing on living clean. At 65 years old, I needed to drop 20 pounds and get my lazy butt moving. Many of my relatives and close friends are experiencing issues related to ultra-processed foods, lack of physical activity, and working towards a healthier lifestyle. I purchased a Nordic Wave Premier plunge and, with daily plunges, immediately noticed improvements in mental clarity, energy, and overall vitality. If you have never cold plunged before, I highly recommend that you start at 60 degrees and try to hit 1 minute. As a guy, your first plunge WILL result in you screaming like a little schoolgirl from the shock. After you hit your third plunge, you will learn to focus on the slow breathing and it isn't bad at all. Great investment.
