What's the difference between the Deeptime Smart Cold Plunge Tub and the Ice Barrel?

The Deeptime Smart Cold Plunge Tub and the Ice Barrel serve similar purposes in cold therapy, but they differ in design and features. The Deeptime tub is a larger, freestanding unit equipped with a cooling system, allowing users to set specific temperatures without needing ice. This makes it more convenient for regular use. In contrast, the Ice Barrel is a more compact, upright design that requires filling with ice and water to achieve cold immersion. While both offer effective cold therapy, the Deeptime tub is often favored for its ease of use and ability to maintain consistent temperatures.
