Finally! Over the past couple of years

Over the past couple of years, I’ve done a ton of research on saunas and cold baths. I originally planned to invest in premium options for both and even considered a full home renovation to support a contrast therapy setup as part of my wellness routine—but that turned out to be impractical.
After putting the idea on hold for a while, I finally decided to explore the more portable alternatives, and Vital Plus really stood out compared to the IcePod and others. The experience has been incredible—my sauna sessions are intense, the sweat pours off, and the ice bath feels amazing. I’m feeling better than ever and saved a significant amount without sacrificing quality or results.
I even brought both units with me on a two-week vacation—they’re that easy to set up and use! If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate. Vital Plus delivers a premium experience at a fraction of the cost. I even had a minor issue and a concern and Joy and the owner made sure I got it all working and sent a back up part. Thank you!

Customer reassurance

I didnt want to buy a Vital + unless i knew their future included investing into a chiller that was capable of heating. Carl told me about the future projects Vital + were working on and the compatibility assurance of the one i was to purchase

Order never arrived

Update after the reply from the company: No one has reached back to me with an update. The CS bot is giving me this generic message you are reading below. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE ITEM. I HAVE NOT BEEN REFUNDED. I ordered in November, we are now in January. Check the reviews on FB. Users report all sorts of issues. I wish I can attach a screenshot, 56% of users do not recommend their product.
I've ordered a sauna on black Friday. It never arrived. The item simply disappeared from the tracking thread they provided. I've been back and forth with customer service for weeks, initially they advised me to track down the item myself via the currier companies (??). I haven't heard back from the curriers either so Vital+ proceeded to sending me generic repliers "we apologise for your inconvenience". They refused to refund or send a new item. I finally had to have my bank initiate a dispute on their end. Just the sheer effort of it.. you know. Not worth it.

Hi Gea,

We are really sorry to hear this and I understand how frustrating it can be when parcels are delayed.

To clarify for those reading, this parcels tracking information has not disappeared. The tracking is still active, it states it has cleared customs and has been handed to the postal carrier for onward transportation and delivery.

In circumstances where a parcel is delayed or appears stuck in transit, the courier must complete their investigation process before they will formally confirm whether the shipment is delayed, misrouted, or deemed lost. Until that confirmation is issued, carriers typically won’t authorise a refund or replacement, because the parcel may still be delivered or located in their network.

That said, we understand this doesn’t make it any less frustrating. However, please know we’ve been actively pushing the courier for a definitive outcome, and as soon as they provide their formal determination, we will act on the next steps immediately.

Kind regards,
The Vital+ Team

Thanks Vital plus for great customer…

Thanks Vital plus for great customer service in resolving a small issue i had with their discontinued original chiller. I’m extremely happy with my new upgrade from the original chiller to the Ultra X2 chiller with built in ozone sanitation and I can control everything on my phone which is so convenient!! Massive upgrade from the last chiller way more beefed up in size with a black moderne sleek look and cools the water down super fast. So far I can’t fault anything about it as my water stays clean for up to 6-8 weeks with my hydrogen peroxide top ups every now and then combined with the built in Ozone. Highly recommend Vital plus for your cold plunge products!

Hi Mahan,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience, that’s not what we want for any customer.

To clarify, our support team includes real agents. Your case has been handled by our team, and we’ve been trying to progress your request since the 28th November, but we haven’t been able to move forward without your reply.

I have sent a follow up email today, as soon as we hear back from you, we’ll prioritise getting this resolved for you.

Vital + Infrared Sauna Issues

Sometime on April 2025 I bought the Infrared Sauna. I previously bought the Steam Sauna from Vital + but due to microplastics concerns I decided to upgrade to the Infrared. Upon delivery and after assembling, I had my first try of using it. I noticed that the temperature would reached only to 62 degrees not 65. Out of curiosity I check the timer as well, I use my iPhone timer and set it to 30 mins. When the iPhone timer was finished the Infrared Sauna timer has still 10 mins left. As I continue using for a few more days, I noticed that the timer was getting stuck for longer on random minutes before counting down to the next number. I had a conclusion that the temperature and timer are not accurate. So I contacted their customer support. After a few emails and waiting they finally offer a replacement unit less the infrared heaters. When the replacement arrived, I removed and replaced the old one. Tested….and same issue with the timer and heater. I send another email telling them about same issue with the replacement. And until now I haven’t got a reply from them.

I received a reply and blaming the setup and environment around the unit. This time no more to Vital+!

Hi JA,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

My name is Emily, and I’m the Customer Support Manager at Vital+. We would genuinely like to look into this further for you.

Our team consistently responds to all customer enquiries within our promised 48-hour timeframe, and at this point, I’m unable to see any outstanding emails relating to this issue.

I’ve requested your contact details through Trustpilot so we can locate your account and review this matter thoroughly. If you could please provide those details, we’ll be able to assist you directly.

It is certainly unusual to hear that the same concerns have occurred even after replacing the unit components, including the remote/timer. Please rest assured that your sauna remains fully covered under our 1-year warranty, and we would be more than happy to continue troubleshooting and arrange further replacements if required.

We look forward to connecting with you and resolving this as quickly as possible.

Kind regards,
Emily

Great customer service

Great customer service. Responded quickly and gave us direction to you tube videos which showed what we needed to do. I was so appreciative to get my queries answered quickly and accurately. Had my products for 4 months and love them.

NZ/UK/US/IE customers: DO NOT order from Vital+

DO NOT order from Vital+ if you are in NZ/UK/US/Ireland or any country other than Australia.

They pose as an NZ company with a separate NZ website, indicate that shipping will take 1-4 days, then weeks later I discover my birthday present for my mum (water chiller which I paid $1400 for including $200 of NZ GST) never arrived because it was shipped from Australia and has been held up at NZ customs until I pay an additional $300 including $200 of NZ GST taxes that I already paid to Vital+. I stretched myself financially to get an awesome present for my mum, and this was a totally unexpected cost that I did not factor in.

When I contacted Vital+ they told me I’d have to pay NZ customs the additional $300 out of pocket, and then they’d refund me the $186 taxes I already paid them, still leaving me to pay an additional $114 that I didn’t expect.

When I suggested this was unfair as it was clear they are aware of this issue and do not warn their customers on the sales page or at checkout, they told me they’d escalate the matter to their manager, then didn’t reply for a week while my mum’s birthday present stayed stuck at customs. Only when I emailed again did they reply, but they just restated that I’d have to pay the $300 out of pocket, and that the $114 import fees are my problem. It turns out that the import fee liability is stated in the fine print tucked away somewhere else on the website, but not made clear anywhere in the sales process. No where on the sales page or check out pages did it mention that I would be liable for $114+ extra in customs fees.

Less important but still a bit shady: the “huge 30% Black Friday sale” turns out to be a fake sale that always exists, so they also trick customers into thinking they’re getting an expiring discount when actually it’s just the regular price that’s always on some kind of made up “sale”.

From my perspective, if a company chooses to do business in another country, the import fees associated with doing business in that country are the company’s responsibility and should be included up front in the cost, not something that the customer should be left to deal with unexpectedly.

Failing that, it should be stated clearly on the check out page that significant additional import fees are likely and will be the customers responsibility, so customers can make an informed decision when purchasing. If I could return the chiller to Vital+ and order from a more honest, NZ based company without paying this customs fee, I would.

Since Vital+ is aware of this issue and has decided to leave their customers to be surprised with it, I feel they are not acting in fairness or integrity.

Hi Andrea,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry for the frustration and disappointment this situation caused, particularly as the order was intended as a birthday gift.

We’d like to clarify a few important points for transparency and accuracy:

All AU and NZ orders are shipped from our warehouse in Sydney, Australia. While we operate country-specific websites for customer convenience, we do not represent ourselves as a New Zealand–based company. We have local Warehouse in the US, UK and AU. However, we are opening a NZ facility early next year.

For New Zealand orders, our shipping policy clearly states that shipments may be subject to import duties, taxes, brokerage, or biosecurity fees imposed by local customs authorities, and that these charges are the responsibility of the customer. These fees are determined entirely by NZ Customs and are outside of our control.

In your case, GST was prepaid at checkout. Unfortunately, on occasion NZ Customs does not correctly recognise prepaid GST and requests payment again at the border. When this occurs, our process, which we followed, is to refund the GST originally paid to us once proof of border payment is provided. This refund has now been processed.

Additional charges such as import levies, biosecurity fees, and transaction fees are not GST, are not collected by Vital+, and cannot be refunded by us, as they are imposed directly by NZ Customs, which is why you cannot pre-pay them.

Regarding response timing, your case was handled by a human customer service manager throughout and was escalated internally for review. We apologise that the process felt slower than expected during a busy period, but we did continue responding and ultimately resolved the GST portion as soon as Customs payment confirmation was received.

As for promotions, our pricing and discounts are clearly displayed at the time of purchase and comply with applicable advertising standards.

We understand this was a frustrating experience and appreciate you sharing your feedback.

Excellent service and support

Excellent service and support. Irene quickly arranged a replacement bath, after a leak developed on corner seam. I would recommend VitalPlus based product quality and service.

Vital+ is fantastic! They always do right by the customer and they stand by their products. I had a minor leak issue and they were all over it doing what was necessary to make it right! Zia, especially has been a joy to work with. Incredible customer service and just a joy to communicate with.

Rotten company to buy from...

This is the worst company I've ever dealt with. I never received my pod and they won't do anything to replace it. Just because the shipping company says it was delivered and had a photo of a doorstep.... The same doorstep thats identical to the other 89 townhouses in my neighborhood. Piss poor customer service and I will never recommend them.

The carrier left it on "A doorstep" not my doorstep. A photo means nothing when all the doors are identical. Sorry excuse for a business. Pathetic actually... To take someone's money and disregard them like trash. Your owner is a scumbag and I hope everyone sees this review so they know not to waste their hard earned money on a sham.

Hi Laura,

We’re sorry to truly hear about this.

Our team has worked with you to raise an investigation with the carrier as per the required steps when this situation occurs. The carrier has confirmed delivery and provided proof-of-delivery photos showing the item was delivered and left in a safe location. Based on this confirmation, we’re unable to offer a replacement from our end in line with our policy.

We will, however, continue to assist with the carrier’s investigation where possible.

Challenge Resolved!

After significant research, we were super excited to purchase and receive our cold plunge and chiller from Vital+. Their promises of customer satisfaction and 7-day-a-week customer service, along with the great reviews here on Trustpilot, sealed the deal. But after we set up our unit, we noticed a constant, slow leak from the chiller. We reached out immediately via email (there is no phone number you can call), and it took several emails before an "AI" assistant responded, asking for our order# and ZIP code (which we had already provided, along with a copy of our receipt). We immediately provided this info and were told by the bot that a "human" would be contacting us ASAP. That was a week ago, and we have not heard ANYTHING from this company, despite our daily emails seeking support.

The cold plunge itself is excellent, and we'd love to use it, but the chiller appears to be malfunctioning. We want a replacement or repair; it is unacceptable to have it constantly leaking.

We are seriously disappointed, and unless the company resolves this immediately, we will be contacting our financial institution

EDITED 12/16/24:
We were contacted by the company's support manager in Australia who was appropriately apologetic and supportive in addressing our problem. She went out of her way to call us personally to evaluate our problems, then promptly dispatched a replacement chiller once it was determined to be faulty. We received the replacement in a timely manner, and they sent us a carrier call tag to ship back the faulty chiller at no expense to us. We are now very happy customers and hope to enjoy our plunge for years to come!

NOTE: The only thing this company lacks is a telephone number where they can be reached directly. I hope they will get this resolved ASAP.

Hi Kimberly,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we truly appreciate the feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the trouble you’re experiencing with your chiller, and we understand how important it is to have this resolved quickly so you can start enjoying your plunge.

I wanted to let you know that we attempted to call you earlier today and also sent a follow-up email this morning so we can work through this with you directly. Our team is here 7 days a week, and while we always aim to respond within 24–48 hours, response times can extend slightly during busy peak sale periods, but we’re committed to supporting you as quickly as possible.

We’re looking forward to assisting you and getting this sorted for you promptly. Please keep an eye out for our email or feel free to reply with a suitable time for a call, and we’ll make it work.
