Too Bad
First, I will say my unit did not work upon arrival. The chiller truly wouldn't even have water flow. It somehow magically started working a day later. Second, they prompt for reviews by sending free products. I got a whole pod (not chiller, but still) just for leaving an initial positive review. I am 5' 6" and 110 pounds... and a woman. I expressed my concerns to them and they would only POSITIVELY reguritate what I had said back to me what I had said, (including my height, weight, and what I was doing as a routine), and then tell me to check with a doctor. What typical doctor is going to know the true ins and outs of plunging? Especially for a woman? There is no information given with the unit and there was no telling me in the multiple emails we exchanged that I was doing it very unsafely, which I was, even at 54 degrees. I am too thin and they should have, as a company that solely sells plunging equipment, been able to tell me that it was unsafe. I made the decision to stop on my own after further diving into literature (the very little that is out there) and asked for a refund. They made it sound very difficult to return the equipment, saying it had to be in original condition. How is it in original condition if I've been using it? They also told me they would not cover return shipping "as a small business". Just pass. There are other companies out there that sell things that look literally just like theirs. Don't think you're limited!
