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.

I have been using nuvio products since 2024

I have been using nuvio products since 2024, chillers pods and now the red light mat. There was a small issue with the mat but as soon as I contacted nuvio they were on it and once i sent the pictures, they shipped out a new mat! It was quick and effective and I was back to my recovery routine for training in grappling. It’s very important that a fast response was happening because I need to recover from the hard training (bjj, wrestling, judo, striking) 5 days a week. The cold plunge chiller has been a lifesaver, and the red light mat was added 3 weeks ago and used it every day. I have a sauna but not their brand but may look to get there sauna sometime soon just to complete my line up. Since they have been great to use and work with I can’t recommend them more

Dishonest on their website…

They are dishonest on their website about what all is included with your purchase and when you push back they just default to the owner manual being more clear. But by that point you’ve already purchased it. They also do not care about early adopters of their tools at all.

Abysmal customer service via email and chat bots

I have spent the past 5 days attempting to return a red light mat. It started as a simple price adjustment question since the mat went on sale for approximately $50 less between my purchase time and the ship time. When I asked about the price adjustment the product had yet to ship. They refused a price adjustment so I chose to return the product. They then wanted to know if it had been used (they hadn't shipped it yet). I let them know it hadn't been shipped and could be canceled vs returned. I even reordered it at the available sale price. Well, they've shipped it, they still haven't provided a return address. It feels like stalling tactics gone wild. They send one email communication a day, resulting in a simple request taking an entire week to accomplish. They frequently re-ask the same question for confirmation so no progress is being made. I have no confidence in the company anymore, and consequently no confidence in their product. Save yourself a headache, and an attorney generals dispute, and better business bureau dispute. Use a different product.

Due to the high demand for the new red light mat I’ve yet to receive it for maybe another week or so but the communication between the customer service department and me is exceptional, not sure it it’s AI or human as I always have a name on the correspondence and really don’t care because I get a honest answer

Nuvio Infrared Mat is my new best friend

I ordered the Infrared Therapy Mat from Nuvio when it was on sale, and I'm glad I did. I have health conditions that make it hard for me to work and I rarely have a good day when I'm feeling good, and I've tried just about EVERY gadget available, relief creams, supplements, OTC and RX and got very little relief. I am a big fan of Infrared Therapy and have a few smaller items which are great but I thought if I can get one for my whole body I would have more relief. It came packaged well with easy instructions, dark glasses to protect the eyes and seems to be professional therapy quality. I really feel a difference in using one for the whole body over the smaller infrared belts that I try to move around (but it takes so long to use it on different areas). I used the Nuvio mat for a half hour. I have it set up in a separate room and I think I'll have no problem adding it to my nightly routine. I felt completely relaxed after and felt much better. I was able to purchase it using my medical FSA funds and it has been the best purchase. Now I want to get one for my mom, and I would definitely recommend ordering from Nuvio. I had a question about delivery and customer service responded quickly and let me know when to expect it. I will also recommend this to friends, coworkers and my physical therapist in case other patients are interested. And by the way, I have received no compensation for writing this review.

AI-Generated/Fake Reviews on Website

I asked an AI to assess the likelihood of the red light mat reviews being legitimate (versus AI-built) product reviews. Based on what it told me, there is an incredibly high likelihood that the product reviews on their site are AI-generated/fake.

Don't believe me? Ask your favorite AI the following question followed by a sample of your choice of the red light mat reviews: "You are an expert in identifying and distinguishing AI-built product reviews from real product reviews. There is an incredible similarity in the lengths of these product reviews, which caught my eye. What's your take on the likelihood of these being legitimate (versus AI-built) product reviews?"

Follow it up with the following: "Here is the entire corpus of their reviews - please break down the linguistic markers and compare them to known AI-generated text patterns:" and attach the entire set of reviews.

My AI tool came to the following conclusion: "Based on linguistic, structural, and corpus‑level analysis, the probability that this entire review set is AI‑generated or AI‑assisted is extremely high. The consistency is too perfect, the phrasing too repetitive, the narratives too templated, and the reviewer identities too uniform for this to be a natural collection of human reviews."

If Nuvio can't be trusted to post real reviews, can they be trusted with their specs, their return policy, their warranty, etc.? Not with my money, thanks.

WARNING NO REFUND POLICY ONCE YOU OPEN

WARNING NO REFUND POLICY! We purchased our chiller in Dec 2025 and received it very quickly. It worked great and that is not the issue. After researching and believing cold would help a lower back issue it actually made it worse and after about 2 1/2 weeks we can no longer use. I thought I saw you could return within 30 days. Well in the small details that is only for unopened and unused and you pay the shipping.

I can understand the tubing and pump attachments which are minimal. The main cost is the chiller motor box and there is no way that should not be returnable.

I agree after looking at several reviews their customer service is absolutely zero stars. No way to speak to a human email or text. They responded to one email saying sorry nothing we can unless it's not working and never responded to my text. Very concerning on how they are operating.

Zero stars

I couldn’t give it zero stars, or I would. December 31, 2025 they took my money. January 3, 2026 they said they ran out of stock and wouldn’t get more for 12-18 days. January 6, 2025 I asked for a cancelation and refund of my purchase price. They offered me $75 cash back and I rejected. Said I just want a cancelation and refund. Then they offered $80 cash back. I said no, I just want cancelation and refund. This morning I chatted online and was told my order had not been fulfilled and was assured I could get cancelation and refund. Then this afternoon I receive an email stating my order has been shipped. UPS label created after 3:00PM today after I was told 8:00AM I would receive cancelation and refund. I’m returning as soon as I receive, that is, if they’ll respond to me in a timely enough matter for me to be within the return window. I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone. Very poor customer service.

We love our nuvio chiller

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 dobie pad, we lightly scrub the inner surfaces periodically whenever it feels a little slimy and we use a fine mesh net to scoop out any floating scum. These steps keep the water clean far longer. Recommend the tub vs the pod as you can stretch out in the tub. Once we made these fine tunings the product serves us well.

Great Company!

My experience with Nuvio has been fantastic. I have the Red Light Therapy Mat and The Chiller and have really benefited from both products. My interactions with Customer Service have been great as well. I have been able to communicate with their representatives quickly and efficiently and have had my questions and concerns addressed promptly. I like Nuvio's list of available products and plan on trying more as time goes on. Thank you Nuvio!

Red-Light Therapy and Customer Service

While I cannot comment on my Red-Light Therapy mat that I ordered, as it is on back-order, the Customer Service follow-up has been wonderful on status of their fulfillment. I will come back to this review once I receive my order and had the opportunity to use it.

Terrible company

Terrible company! Bought a pro chiller and in less than 2 weeks the pump stopped working, 2 weeks later and I have been unable to speak to a human, all correspondence is AI with no resolution. The website and Instagram are both misleading showing raving reviews it’s only when you research deeper that you realize that away from these platforms the reviews tell a completely different story. Sadly after so many bad reviews this company doesn’t seem to care for their customers and have no desire to improve. Look elsewhere for similar products who care for their customers

Very positive service experience

We have been using the Nuvio chiller for over a year now. It has worked great. It DOES take longer to chill than stated on the website. BUT I also have a 320gal ColdPod so I wasn't expecting rapid-chilling. When it gets to temperature it cycles on and off as it should.

I just had my first service issue with the unit. I received prompt service and support. I was engaged in an email thread with a support person within 24hrs. I sent a video of my issue and they determined it was a temp probe failure. The part was $8! I paid for it and they immediately shipped it. I also received a tracking number right away. While it was in transit they sent me three videos showing the replacement process. The shipping scared me at first when I saw it coming from China and was through "17track.com"or something like that. It took 8-10 days to get to me. Once it got to the States and through customs it got to me very quickly. I am competent with tools and it took me less than 30min to gvet my machine up and running again.

Customer service on the chiller

The customer service that I received from Nuvio (Charlie)was awesome! He diagnosed the issue and sent the replacement part for my chiller. It is working like new again!

What a terrible customer service and…

What a terrible customer service and company structure. I ordered the wrong chiller and immediately sent them the request to make the change, they said all good and to wait till the email came which then said no, but we will give you 10% to keep it or pay the shipping to send it back.

That is frankly terrible service. Let's hope the POS actually works as stated.

I bought the chiller in June

I bought the chiller in June. It worked until September. It stopped chilling the tub. Contacted customer support. Multiple emails back and forth. 24-48 hour response time. Multiple videos sent to customer service. They finally said I needed a new pump. They said it will come in 5-7 days. 14 days later attach new pump. Same problem as before.
Contacted customer support. Took more videos. They contact me after 48 hours. Say I need a new pump. I show them the two pumps side by side. I ask for a trade , my chiller for a new chiller. The answer is we do not provide replacement chillers.
My response to anyone is as the other bad reviews. Do not buy anything from Nuvio. Nuvio equipment is garbage. I even bought a tub.$500.00. Cheap plastic that bends in at the sides. Cost about $2.00 in China where I assume Nuvio is located.
Do not trust , contact , buy anything from the dishonest and evil company.
