I purchased this sauna to see if I even liked using one before diving in to purchase an outdoor wood one. This is a great unit for the price. It is small so fits easily in my bathroom. With about 20-30 min to warm up it gets plenty warm and stays warm over the next 30 minutes so I can work up a sweat. I added a few additional small hanging lights as I like to read in it and changed out the chair for a shower chair as the one that came with the sauna was a bit low for me. Great unit for the price and it was just what I needed to try out infrared. I just ordered the permanent outdoor wood model from Salusheat. Their customer service responding to inquiries is fantastic.
I was a little skeptical given the great price point but have zero regrets. Have been using almost daily for almost 3 months. I put it together myself - caution that you need to have some clearance at the top to make some of the wiring connections. Mine heats up from 65 to 149 in about 30 min (I do a separate redlight treatment during that time). I definitely get a good sweat. I love the panel on the inside of the door since I have bad knees and know they are getting targeted treatment. Super happy with this sauna.
I recently received the Maxwell-909XH/R 1 Person Ultra-Low EMF Infrared Sauna. The sauna works great - heats up quickly and gets plenty hot. The chromotherapy lights and bluetooth speakers are a nice touch. I’m rating it 4 stars because the assembly was very difficult. The instructions were not clear and the pieces did not fit together easily. If not for my very handy husband I would have had to hire someone to assemble it or return it.
I purchased a set of these tiles to use for entry/exit from my indoor Salus 1-person sauna, and I am very happy with the results. Look great, easy to put together and modify as-needed.
This sauna is amazing! I had one of those pop up cheap steam tent saunas as a gateway into this before, but this dry sauna blows that out of the water. It gets so hot, that with in 10 minutes. Minutes I'm pouring sweat, and I can only hang out in there for 30 minutes. Seating is comfortable for me alone, and I'm a big guy. My son got in there at the same time, and we can make it work with two, but if you're bigger this will be plenty of space for one, or two smaller people. Wood is high quality, there was only some minor damage on shipping, nothing that a few brad nails couldn't fix. It was packed well and instructions pretty easy to follow.
One suggestion I might make would be to stick numbered flags on the electrical cables for underneath the bench to make it easier to connect them. The picture is kind of small, and we had to look at it several times to make sure it was connected correctly.
Takes about 30 minutes to heat up to full temperature, but it maintains its heat well. Bluetooth speakers are good quality, and the lighting inside is very nice.
Did have to contact customer service but they have been extremely helpful, and quick to respond. This was about delivery issues, not anything related to the sauna itself.
If you're on the fence about whether this is a good buy, I would wholeheartedly endorse it. Even my wife who is our style judge likes the look of this in our home.
As a traditional sauna user, I was hesitant to purchase an infrared sauna because I have grown accustomed to the high temperatures of traditional saunas. After two months of using this sauna, I am in love with it. I use the sauna daily and am completely drenched in sweat within 20 minutes of use. I was a skeptic but the infrared sauna technology is the real deal. My core temperature seems to go up more than a traditional sauna so I find that I sweat a lot more. I am also able to stay in longer because the heat is even and consistent, not overwhelming like the centralized heating element in a regular sauna.
I was also worried about how fast the sauna would heat up. I keep the sauna in the basement, which is typically around 55-60 degrees in the winter and very dry. Within ten minutes the unit heats to over 100 degrees and at fifteen minutes reaches about 120 degrees. The unit reaches the 140s within the next ten minutes. In the summer time I believe it will heat even faster with the warmth and humidity.
I let the sauna run for about ten minutes before hopping in and have yet to make it past the 40 minute mark. For those worried about the 140 temperatures being too low, I can assure you the infrared technology hits your body differently. The infrared panels seem to produce heat from within my body, instead of externally, which leads to more sweat and release of toxins.
For those worried about assembly, my wife and I put the whole thing together in less than 30 minutes. She also helped me maneuver the pieces down to the basement which was the hardest part.
My last concern was my electric bill. Even with daily use for about an hour per day my electric bill has been relatively unchanged.
With regard to SalusHeat, I did my research and this is definitely the best bang for your buck. Plus they offer a lifetime warranty which I did not see anywhere else at this price. I also feel safer knowing this particular sauna emits an extremely low EMF.
I would recommend to anyone who is willing to listen! Believe the hype.
Since I reside in FL. I have my Airy-601S Mini Portable Sauna outside. I was overwhelmed to experience the more than adequate flow of steam to complete my 45 minute de-stress session. The product is fantastic and customer service is superb. This product truly enhances the health detox benefits that come with steam sauna therapy. Highly recommend.
I did a lot of research on saunas before my purchase YT and FB groups etc. I found this one and I am glad I pulled the trigger. It hits a high 149 which is more than enough to get a tremendous sweat going. Low EMF Heaters so I am happy about that. The door heater is a good bonus.
Delivery was quick and easy no issues.
I assembled this in about 30 mins get a helper though makes it easier. The panels are way lighter than they look.
Build quality is fantastic, heats up to full temp in my unfinished basement in about 30 mins. I got my friend to buy one; he had the same experience as me.
I purchased this a few months ago and have experienced excellent customer services with questions/concerns. I just started using it recently as it was warm in CA until recently. The quality is very good. The assembly was easy. I particularly like the smell of red cedar. So far everything is working very well.
We ordered this unit while it was on sale, the unit shipped pretty quickly after it came back in stock. Shortly after the order was placed we got an email with the instructions which are pretty short, but clear enough to assemble. The assembly is very easy for 2 people to assemble, definitely need 3-4 hands available. The unit seems to be well constructed and the provided hardware and fasteners are decent quality. All in all, it took 30-45 minutes to assemble and have running. We live in Western Montana and the unit seems to have no issues heating up even when the temperatures outside are approaching 0º F. We ordered the extra weather protection cover for the unit and that makes a huge difference in how fast the unit warms up and also seems to make the unit feel hotter inside. Without the cover we typically were running at around 140º and now with the extra cover, 130º seems to be very effective. Very happy with the purchase and hope to get many years of use out of this unit.
We happened upon a home show in our town and were intrigued by the infra-red saunas on display. I did about 2 months of research and came upon this model. First the delivery was great and as advertised with everything coming in good condition. While on a work call/meeting I was able to take all of the components out and put together by myself only needing assistance to put the roof of it in place. Second I think this is the appropriate size as it gives a bit more space than the 1-person but is small enough that it heats up in our basement in about 20-30 minutes. I traditionally use it in the morning and feel much better when rolling into work. So we have owned this for almost a year with no issues.
Bottom line: great sauna for the price.
I sauna regularly to include wood and electric Finnish sauna as well as steam saunas. This particular sauna takes about 20 minutes to heat to the top temp of 140. Takes me about 10 minutes to sweat, but after 20ish minutes I’m at a sustained heart rate of 120-130 bpm. I typically sweat for 40-60 minutes and I feel like goals are achieved.
Assembly is very easy and intuitive. From opening boxes to power on was about 30 minutes. Easy to clean and maintain.
**Video was taken during “reheat” (happens every 15 minutes or so)**
Smaller than anticipated but works well. Love having a personal sauna in the basement.
I purchased this sauna for my wife for Christmas. It was easy to put together with the help of my 15 year old daughter. The electrical parts were easy to connect. And, there is no need for anything but a standard wall outlet. The lighting is fun. The panels heat up quickly. My wife doesn't even use the highest heat setting because it is too warm for her. No problems or issues. We would buy it again.
It was a super easy install! Took less than an hour. It worked with no issues at all. Now we are using it weekly. It looks really nice and works very well. We are very happy with our purchase. We bought it in December.
The sauna is attractive and works well. The sound connection to device for music works well and is of decent quality output. The unit was delivered 7 September 2024. On first rain the finish significantly washed off making the finish look bad. I will have to re-stain and finish it with a better quality clear sealant. The door gaskets have also fallen off the glass and do not hold when put back on (expansion from heat?). I will need to glue them on to hold them to keep air from easily passing through. Otherwise, functionally it is good, smells nice inside and is comfortable.
I have wanted a sauna for years, but limited space has prevented me from purchasing one. When I came across the Purity-909MH 1 Person Side Door Infrared Sauna and read the dimensions, I grabbed my tape measure, confirmed it would fit in my space, and happily placed my order!
My sauna was delivered quite quickly, even though I had ordered during the busy holiday season. The sauna came in two boxes on a pallet. Upon unboxing, I was pleased to see that all the parts were in great shape - great care was obviously taken during the packing/shipping process!
The assembly process was quick and easy. My husband and I worked together. The directions were easy to follow, and we had the sauna fully assembled in 25 minutes!
Using the sauna is wonderful! It's so easy to operate! The control panel is straightforward, and I can easily reach it to make adjustments while sitting in the sauna. The sauna heats up quickly, and also responds quickly when I make temperature adjustments on the control panel.
I love that I can turn the light in the sauna on for reading, or off if I want to enjoy the darkness. The sauna also comes equipped with Bluetooth speakers. I have an Alexa device and the sauna speakers paired easily with it. All I do is ask my Alexa to play some relaxing music, sit in my sauna, and I can enjoy an immersive, relaxing experience - without ever leaving home!
Since getting my sauna, I've noticed positive changes in my body and overall well-being. I have fibromyalgia, and the relaxing, penetrating heat produced by the sauna feels absolutely heavenly on my aching muscles! I'm sleeping better than I have in years!
I would confidently recommend this sauna to anybody looking for one, especially if limited space is a consideration. It's well-made, and has features I wouldn't have expected at this price point. I'm very happy with my purchase! I look forward to using my sauna every day!
I absolutely love this sauna! Heats to 149 (top heat) in about 25 minutes. Has controls inside and outside! Has Bluetooth speakers with really good sound quality, LED lights outside and inside along with color lights! Super easy to assemble and did it myself within 40 minutes. Soooo many heat panels, which is amazing because others don’t give you this many and their prices are 3-4x what this is. All that plus lifetime warranty and low EMF is just incredible! I would recommend 10/10! Everyone that has seen and used ours is equally amazed how great this sauna is!
Installed this sauna in under an hour with 2 people - great engineering, construction, and attention to detail. Everything fit together perfectly; electrical connections were easy and secure; all wood and surfaces are unblemished and really attractive. We have it in an unheated, uninsulated mudroom in the mountains of northern NY state. It gets to 149 degrees in about an hour at an outdoor temp of 12 degrees F. Everything works as it should and no weird odors from substandard wood like other saunas we've bought. The first guests to use it (it's in an Airbnb) loved how simple it is to operate and especially appreciated the Bluetooth speakers.
So far we're super happy with it - great quality sauna at a reasonable price!
We just got ours 3 days ago, but so far we are very pleased with delivery, set up, and the quality. Delivery was through Ceva and was fast. The delivery guys handled it with care. My husband unboxed it, carried it upstairs, and assembled it in 40 minutes. Easy!! Everything fit together well and it seems to work great. I will update this if we run into any issues.
I have used dry-heat saunas for years at my local gym. I was skeptical about infrared. It's fantastic. It is a different heat and sweat experience, but I feel the sauna drenched and feeling refreshed every time.
I as also skeptical about the price and quality of Salus Heat. I spent HOURS trying to vet the company and the product and then ultimately took a leap. It's an extremely high-quality product, goes together easily, and is everything as it is marketed. Buy one today.
Love it so far. Damaged a bit in transit in which they offered to take it back but I decided to just paint it black. Which I think it looks even better, also added a cedar shake roof.
Tested the EMF it does indeed seem to register what they claim. Gets up to 149F and overall love it so far
In the past have only ever used traditional dry saunas and originally intended on building my own with a kit from another company. After further research I decided that this sauna was the best fit for me.
Three separate boxes arrived quickly a week later and assembly was a breeze.
The quality and attention to detail surpassed my expectations. I use this sauna 4 times per week, it heats up quickly and all around still has the feel of a traditional sauna.
I bought this on the good reviews and it has not disappointed me. It was so thoughtful for the company to do so much assembly that literally all you need to do is fit pieces together. No tools required. It heats up wonderfully. The lights and speakers are great! My only regret is not buying the bigger one! I have noticed a slight air leak between the glass and the door jam, but it doesn’t seem to really affect the heat up. I plan to contact the company and am sure they will have a remedy for me. I highly recommend this sauna. I am so so pleased with my purchase
