Short answer: the Viking Premier is an upright plunge with a built-in chiller that cools to 35°F and heats to 104°F, priced at $6,990. It plugs into a household outlet and sets up in about 15 minutes, per the maker. The chiller’s power draw and the exterior dimensions aren’t published.
What can you plan without the missing specs?
Less than you’d like. Nordic Wave doesn’t publish the chiller horsepower, the amperage, or the full footprint. The listing says “standard household outlet”, but a chiller that also heats can draw a lot. Before you buy, ask for three numbers: the amps on the nameplate, the exterior width and depth, and the empty weight.
What we do know: it holds 95 gallons, which is about 792 lbs of water. Add the unit and you. It is rated for users up to 6 ft 4 in.
Why does the vertical design matter?
You sit upright, so the tank takes less floor space than a laydown tub. That helps on a balcony, in a garage corner, or in a bathroom. The trade-off is that you can’t stretch out.
Is hot and cold in one unit useful?
It heats to 104°F, the same ceiling as a hot tub. With 95 gallons and one seat, it is a warm soak for one person, not a spa. Switching between hot and cold takes hours because the same water has to change temperature. Hot and Cold Plunge Tubs vs. Cold-Only covers who benefits.
Run the numbers on the warranty
The tub is covered for 5 years and the chiller for 1 year, for residential use. The chiller is the part with a compressor, a pump, and electronics. So the expensive, failure-prone half has the short cover. Ask what a replacement chiller costs.
