Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 171 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers appreciate the effectiveness of the products, such as the red light therapy mats and chillers, finding them beneficial for pain relief and overall well-being. Reviewers also frequently highlight positive interactions with customer service, noting prompt responses, helpfulness, and efficient resolution of issues, with some even praising specific representatives. The quality of some products is also mentioned positively, with people finding them to be of good standard and effective for their intended use. However, some customers express significant dissatisfaction with the products, citing issues like faulty units, leaks, and poor design, leading to concerns about safety and durability. A notable number of people also report negative experiences with customer service, mentioning unresponsiveness, difficulty reaching a human, and a lack of resolution for their problems.

Decent product, it keeps my ice bath cold and I’ve used less ice since having it. I like my water temp around 40 degrees. Customer service responded quickly and helped with the error code I had.

We love our nuvio chiller. The cold plunges are a great health tool. We took extra steps to keep the water clean like adding an extra, separate filter with a UV light to kill bacteria. Using a dob... See more

Chillin in Florida

I have used Nuvio chiller for quite a while now and have been able to achieve my goals. More importantly I ran into a small issue and they 100% stood behind their product and I’m back up and running. Maintaining 40/45 degrees here in Florida
Thank you Nuvio

Product never worked

Product never worked. Was promised a refund that has never been received. When I continue to email them (no phone number avail). They say that there's a hold up in their system because something was filed against my purchase. That's their response, but it's just a delay tactic.

Hi Todd,

We're really sorry to hear about your experience and completely understand how upsetting it can be.

I can assure you there is no tactic or intent to delay your refund. Occasionally, when a dispute or claim is filed through a payment provider, it can temporarily pause our ability to process things on our end. That seems to be what happened here, but please know we’re actively working to resolve it.

I’d also like to personally take a closer look at your case and understand exactly what caused the issue, so we can make sure it’s fully resolved and help prevent it from happening again.

If you can share your order number or reply to our last email, I’ll make sure this gets the attention it deserves.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding.

Kind regards,
Nuvio

Customer service is actually great

Customer service is actually great

I have read that customer service sucks, I have had the opposite experience, they have been so good, every issue I have had they have taken care of. The issues have largely been my fault, such as an incorrect order, but they have resolved it. They are very responsive. I give their customer service an A+, so far I give the chiller an A-minus. Doesn't cool as fast as they say, but it does get the water to a consistent 45 degrees (takes about 12 hours), but I'm also in a very hot climate.

I bought a Nuvio chiller and it stopped working after only a couple of months, and all 3 of my attempts to reach out to Nuvio Customer Service lead to no calls or emails back. Do not buy this product. Spend the extra $100 on a different chiller and save yourself the hassle in the future. Very dissapointed.

I was 7 days past the 30 day return on an unopened boxed and they refused to compromise on a return. I offered to cover shipping. Box was in perfect shape. totally unbending.

The chiller started leaking (pouring out water) 7 months after having it. It never recorded correct temperatures. Whe I reached out to them about the leak, magically at 6 months they stop guaranteeing their products. Even though their website says 1 year from delivery date. Customer service is awful. There are a ton of chillers out there. I wouldn’t recommend Nuvio at all.

Hi J Benedict,

Thank you for taking the time to share this, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience with the chiller especially after just a few months of use. That’s understandably frustrating, and I can see why you’d be upset.

This isn’t the kind of experience we want for anyone, and I’d like to personally review your case so we can get a clearer picture of what happened and how best we can move forward.

If you could send over your order number, I’ll make sure this gets the attention it deserves. We truly appreciate your patience and the opportunity to make things right.

Kindly,
Nuvio

Great Chiller & Great Customer Care

Nuvio is my first experience with a chiller. I had an ice bath already and enjoyed it, but I got tired of always having to get ice and wasn’t sure that the temperature was low enough to be effective.

The Nuvio chiller has been amazing at helping my bath to maintain a low temperature! I love that it is portable. I have used it outside and inside!

When I had an issue and needed help from customer service, they were quick and consistent in communication until my issue was resolved! It took them less than a month to figure out what I needed and patiently walked with me throughout the process!

Thank you for a great product from a great company!

This unit has had issue with the temperature reading. I have attempted to get service for several months now. The unit temperature gauge climbed until an alarm sounded
The one non automated response was not to use it. The still do not respond back with an actual human.

Chiller and sauna purchase

We purchased the chiller and the sauna. My husband uses them everyday as part of his routine. I’ve had to contact customer support(Matt) a couple of times with questions and concerns both of which they resolved quickly. Our experience has been excellent from every angle.

chiller + pod = 😎 🥶

One week into using my chiller + pod and I love it. Haven’t tried maxing out the temperature, but I did two mins in 46 degree water yesterday. Such a great way to start the day!

Nuvio chiller replacement pump

I purchased the Nuvio chiller and when it came a piece was broken on the pump. I contacted their customer service and they responded immediately and took care of the problem. They sent me a new pump and I had it within 2 days. Very fast and very thorough. Most companies make it difficult, this was a great experience.

Device stopped working after 2 months

Device stopped working after 2 months. It never really achieved the 39 degree promised, but got cold enough to work. When my partner torn his hamstring, it was a great opportunity to use this to help with rehab. Sadly, it just died. The temperature gauge says it is getting colder, but an actual thermometer shows the water has not changed. The pump completed ceased up. Am so disappointed with this thing.

Hi Tim,

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience with the chiller, especially when you were counting on it for rehab. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our customers.

Very happy with performance

Ive got both the chiller and the sauna from Nuvio and I have been very impressed so far. I've been using daily for about 30 days now and they perform just as I need them to. There are more professional chillers available on the market but they are easily 2-3x the price

The customer service is beyond

The product is great. The customer service was extremely generous about the boundaries of their warranty and I think it is rare to find customer service as kind to their customers as nuvio was to me.

Temperature gauge inconsistent

My chiller began reading temperatures inconsistent with the actual water temperature. The water temperature was perfect at 42-43 degrees but my chiller would show the water temperature at anywhere from 48-100 degrees. As time went on the readings kept getting higher and higher. Victoria was very helpful giving me troubleshooting solutions from the technicians; however, nothing corrected the issue. The chiller continued to chill my water but would display a water temperature much higher than the actual water temperature in the tub. Nuvio has sent me a replacement and I hope to receive it soon.

LIES! 30-day money back guarantee

Awful customer service, all AI generated. I've sent several emails requesting return tags 2 days after receiving the product (30 day money back guarantee) and can't get anyone to respond. Unbelievable!! I don't recommend doing business with this company.
