The best cryotherapy machine for home use is a fully electric, whole-body chamber that plugs into a normal power point, and our #1 pick is the KRYO KUBE UNO: the most affordable and most energy-efficient fully electric whole-body chamber in the world.
Whole-body cryotherapy used to mean booking a session at a recovery studio. Now more people want it at home, on their own schedule, with no drive and no queue. The problem is that "home cryotherapy" covers very different machines, from nitrogen cabins to ice baths, and they aren't interchangeable.
This guide explains what to look for, how the main options compare, and why we built the UNO specifically for the home.
What to look for in a home cryotherapy machine
A home is not a clinic, so the checklist is different. These are the six things that matter most.
Cooling method. Electric chambers cool the air with a refrigeration system. Nitrogen cabins use liquid nitrogen, which must be delivered, stored and vented. At home, electric is simpler and removes nitrogen handling from the equation.
Power supply. Many commercial chambers need three-phase power or a dedicated high-amp circuit. That can mean an electrician, a switchboard upgrade and extra cost before you've had a single session. Look for a chamber that runs on a standard household outlet.
Whole body or partial body. In a true whole-body chamber your head is inside the cold air too. Many nitrogen cabins leave your head out. The experience is different, so know which one you're buying.
Running cost. A chamber that runs around the clock needs a low power draw. Check the rated wattage, not just the purchase price.
Footprint. Measure your space. Height matters as much as floor area, so check ceiling clearance and the path in through doors and hallways.
Local warranty and service. If something goes wrong, you want a technician in days, not parts shipped from overseas. Check where the chamber is built and who services it.
Home cryotherapy options, ranked
#1 — KRYO KUBE UNO (fully electric whole-body chamber)
Best overall for home use. Nitrogen-free and built in Australia, the UNO runs on a standard 10A wall outlet. It is rated at just 300W, making it the most energy-efficient cryotherapy chamber in the world. And from AUD $35,000, it's the most affordable fully electric whole-body chamber in the world. Full details are below.
#2 — Imported electric home chambers
Reasonable technology, higher landed cost. A small number of overseas makers now sell compact electric chambers for the home. The best-known US-made model lists from USD $29,500, about AUD $42,800 before freight, import costs and GST. Some need a dedicated high-amp circuit, and warranty support may depend on an overseas manufacturer.
#3 — Nitrogen cryosaunas
Lower entry price, more to manage. These cabins cool with liquid nitrogen and usually leave your head outside the cold. You need regular nitrogen deliveries, safe storage, good ventilation and oxygen monitoring. That's manageable in a staffed clinic but a lot to take on at home.
#4 — Cold plunges and ice baths
Cheapest, but a different thing. Water immersion is a popular cold-exposure routine, and a good tub costs a fraction of a chamber. But you're getting wet and sitting in water at a few degrees above zero, not standing in dry, sub-zero air. It's a different experience, not a cheaper version of the same one.
#5 — Localised cryo devices
Spot cooling only. Handheld and wand-style devices direct cold air at one area of the body. Useful for targeted cooling, but they aren't whole-body cryotherapy.
Everything you need to know about the KRYO KUBE UNO
The UNO is the residential model in the KRYO KUBE range: a single-person, 100% electric whole-body chamber designed for private homes.
Power and efficiency
Runs on a standard Australian 10A single-phase wall outlet. No three-phase power, no dedicated circuit.
Rated at 300W, drawing about 1.3A. That's less than a typical microwave and a fraction of a kettle.
Built to run 24/7, so it's ready whenever you are. Overnight, set the fan to Low or Off and it draws less than its rated wattage.
Even at full rated draw around the clock, it uses at most 7.2 kWh a day. At typical Australian tariffs that's under $3 a day.
Energy efficiency drove the design from day one, alongside purchase price. The result is the most energy-efficient cryotherapy chamber in the world.
The cold
The cooling system is set to −120°C, factory-preset as part of the system.
Sessions take 2–3 minutes.
Fully electric and nitrogen-free: no deliveries, no storage tanks, no nitrogen handling at home.
You'll see some visible mist when the door opens. That's normal for any very cold chamber.
Size and design
Footprint: 900 mm wide × 800 mm deep, 2,600 mm high. Check your ceiling height before ordering.
Front glass: 500 mm wide × 2,100 mm high.
Finished in White only, designed to sit cleanly in a home gym, bathroom, wellness room or garage.
Cork flooring underfoot, with reusable gloves and masks rather than disposables.

Can I run a cryotherapy chamber on normal household power?
The UNO runs on a standard Australian 10A wall outlet. Many commercial chambers need three-phase power or a dedicated circuit.
Is an electric chamber better than a nitrogen cryosauna for home use?
For most homes, yes. Electric chambers need no nitrogen deliveries, storage or handling, and a whole-body chamber includes your head in the cold air.
How much power does the UNO use?
It's rated at 300W. Even at full rated draw 24 hours a day, that's at most 7.2 kWh a day.
