## Buying guides
- [Cold Plunge Buying Guide: Chillers, Filtration and Space](https://recoverytested.com/guides/cold-plunge-chiller-sizing): A chilled cold plunge pairs an insulated tub with a chiller that cools and filters the water. Check the lowest temperature the chiller can reach in your climate, its cooling capacity (often quoted in horsepower), the filtration and sanitizing system, the power it needs and where it will sit. Ice baths without a chiller are cheaper but need ice for every session.
- [Compression Boots Buying Guide: Chambers, Pressure and Fit](https://recoverytested.com/guides/compression-boots-buying-guide): Pneumatic compression boots inflate in sequence from foot to hip, squeezing and releasing the legs. Compare the number of chambers, pressure range and adjustment, sizing for your inseam, session programs, noise and portability. Systems with more chambers and finer pressure control usually cost more; a simpler system can still suit most recreational athletes.
- [How to Choose a Massage Gun: Amplitude, Stall Force and Speed](https://recoverytested.com/guides/how-to-choose-a-massage-gun): Amplitude (how far the head travels) and stall force (how hard you can press before it stops) decide how deep a massage gun feels. Full-size guns with 12 to 16 mm amplitude suit large muscle groups and athletes; mini guns with shorter amplitude suit travel and lighter use. Then check speed range, attachments, noise, weight and battery life.
- [Infrared vs Traditional Sauna: Which Home Sauna Should You Buy?](https://recoverytested.com/guides/infrared-vs-traditional-sauna): Traditional saunas heat the air to roughly 70 to 100°C (160 to 212°F) and let you pour water on hot stones for steam. Infrared saunas warm your body more directly at lower air temperatures, around 45 to 65°C (110 to 150°F), heat up faster and often run on a standard household circuit. Choose traditional for the classic hot, steamy experience; choose infrared for lower temperatures, simpler installation and smaller spaces.
