Infrared FAR IR Negative Ion Portable Indoor Personal Spa Sauna by Durherm with Air Ionizer, Heating Foot Pad and Chair, 30 Minutes Timer, Large, Silver

I was very hesitant to buy this because of the polarizing reviews on such an expensive product. I've been listening to Dr. Rhonda Patrick and she convinced me that this was worth the investment in my health. I have asthma and I can't do cardio without thinking I'm going to die, so I wanted an alternative way to improve my cardiovascular health without having to run. This does the trick, getting my heart rate at about 150 after 15 minutes.A lot of people complain that it doesn't get to 150 degrees. I think that's probably true, as I did bring a thermometer in with me and the highest it got was 120 degrees. There's a few things that I think people are doing wrong of they're not sweating. Aside from turning it on properly, I think people make the mistake of not sitting back close enough to the panel. The head hole is more comfortable if you sit in the middle, but I noticed I don't sweat as much if I do. Also, try not to use the arm holes because too much air escapes, no matter how tight you zip it to your arm. This thing gets way, way hotter when I keep the arm holes zipped and put a towel around my neck to block the air from escaping there. I use it 5 times a week and I stopped sweating as much after the second week. Now, after weeks of continuous use, I only sweat the last 5 minutes. I had someone else try it just to make sure it's working properly, and they were absolutely drenched in sweat in 15 minutes so I can only assume I'm getting healthier just as I wanted.I live in an RV so I don't have space to keep this out. I fold it up after every use and while that's annoying, I haven't seen any signs of wear from doing so.Lastly, I have seen such an improvement in my skin. It's radiant and soft. I have always had ashy legs and needed to use lotion all the time but that has completely gone away! I also haven't had any eczema fair ups since using it. It's been a great investment!

I love this sauna! Once it warms up you could be sweating big time within 2 minutes. Try that with a steam sauna. As for all the negative testimonials about the directions being hard to follow because it's in Chinese, I am totally puzzled by that. None of my directions was in Chinese. Of course it did not say much. It just said to plug it into an outlet and press the appropriate buttons on the remote. Well really it did not need much instructions. You just take it out of the box, unfold it, plug it in, get in and zip it shut and then press the buttons on the remote. That's all there is to it. Well you do need to move the foot pad to the bottom though. The foot pad was placed on the back of the sauna so that they can fold it up and ship it to you. So maybe they can put that in the instructions. I don't know. Maybe they made some changes since then from the feedback? Well it's really easy to set up and it works great!

I owned a portable sauna for 9 years before it gave up. My doctor recommended it and gave me the suppliers details. Unfortunately, I threw it out without saving the name of the manufacturer, It worked great until the very end. I went onto Amazon to find a replacement and selected this one because it stated XL and had read reasonably good reviews.I was busy and never got to opening and setting up the sauna until a month after it arrived. The set up was easy, they forgot to mention the use of the stick on the inside. The first day it took over 20 minutes at 150 before I started to sweat. I usually skip a day and went back in the sauna for 50 minutes at 150 and never got a drop of sweat. The first 30 minutes and then another 20 minutes before I determined that it was not going to happen. I know the drill and keep all the zips closed to keep the heat trapped inside. It is small and I am 140lbs 5'6", i moved the chair in the event it was hitting the back panel but it did not make a difference. I am so disappointed, I feel ripped off because I have passed the return date and I never anticipated that the sauna was so inferior and would barely work once. I heard it is a hassle to return and I will try but i am not prepared to pay 100.00 to return this. I will reach out to my doctor and see if he still has access to the information for the company he recommended 9 years ago and purchase another one from them instead of wasting money to return this. I plan on trying it one more time before its thrown out because I cannot believe that this sauna was a one time only sauna. If i have a different result, i will update this fairly.

I reviewed MANY saunas before I ultimately purchased this one. There are many that provide Far Infrared, but with the high level of portability, and the color (I wasn't a fan of bright orange, or pink!) I decided on this one. I am 5'6" and weigh 145lbs. and this is a perfect fit for me. However, it is still a bit cozy. This is a great sauna for my Chronic Neurological Lyme Disease as I need to detox as much as possible. The temperature is not 100% regulated, and does fall occasionally, but it is still a good sauna, especially for the money. I would recommend this, but this is not the most durable you can find around. I am still satisfied with my purchase!

This device is wonderful! I have used it almost every day for about a month now and it works great. It causes a lot of sweat and good detoxing. I combined it with a new exercise and eating healthier and have felt great and been dropping pounds. It really does relax you. And, unlike a large walk in sauna or those coffin-feeling ones at the spa, because you can poke your head out, it makes the heat so much more tolerable, enjoyable, and allows you to watch TV or read while you're in it. My only complaint would be it would be better with a small stool instead of camping chair because I worry it's not detoxing my thighs and bottom enough since it's blocked by the chair seat.
