SereneLife Portable Sauna Box for Home, Infrared Sauna Tent with Heated Foot Pad and Folding Chair, Remote Control In-Home Spa, 38" x 32” - (Silver)

I was really surprised by how much I enjoy this infrared sauna. It is such a nice thing to have because of quick it is to set up and take down. It folds absolutely flat and doesn’t require much setup other than unfolding it and plugging it in. It feels heavenly to sit inside and I was surprised how quickly it warmed up and I worked up a good sweat. It is a warmth that I feel to my core, not just like laying on a heating pad. This arrived just in time, when I was suffering from a chest cold and probably some allergies as well. I’ve been using it in the evenings to help me decongest and detox. To use it, just pop it open and unfold the 2 horizontal support rods, lay the foam pad and foot warmer down, put in the folding chair and it’s ready to go. The top support rod is honestly unnecessary in my opinion, so I don’t bother with it. The electronics are on the back of the sauna and there is a cabled remote from there which can be stashed in an easily accessible front pocket. It doesn’t take too much power to run, which is nice. I can use it in any standard outlet. I can’t recommend this sauna enough. It is compact and very effective.

I was skeptical that this could have the effect of a sauna but after using it for a couple of months I find it to be very hot, I sweat a ton and I feel a lot better for it. It’s a lightweight quilted box with bars that snap into place to frame it out, I don’t fold it up so I can’t speak on that but after siting in the provided chair, I snap the bar across the front which gives me support to comfortably hold my phone or watch tv. Don’t hold and press buttons in controls, press and release quickly to turn it on. First time I did 8 min, I now do at least 20 min, if I’m well hydrated, 30 min. I sleep better, have more energy and highly recommend if you have health issues… even if you don’t! It’s easy to move around when I have company, very happy I have it since I have Lyme because heat kills bacteria and parasites.

***Updated*** The sauna died just weeks before its one year anniversary with me, hence why I am knocking off a star. While that is frustrating, I still had a great experience with it. For me, the cost for this unit per use was nothing compared to how much a sauna session at a wellness center costs.Original Review:Under dr's orders, I'm supposed to be visiting an infared spa multiple times a week for the foreseeable future. (Trying to heal late-stage Lyme disease.) That's a tall order both financially and in terms of convenience/time. When I ordered this thing, I honestly presumed I would regret it but instead I find myself recommending this thing to everyone I know! Honestly, spending time detoxing in an infared spa is a great wellness endeavor for EVERY human body. And this little thing makes it affordable and easy for practically anybody. I'm a complete convert.I've been using it daily for about a month and have had zero issues. Like others have mentioned, it takes about 10-12 minutes to warm up to full strength, which is impressive to me. (It takes professional units at the gym hours to warm up to 140 degrees.) It has an automatic turn-off feature after an hour, which I appreciated the one time I forgot to turn it off. I got the gray color, which makes it not utterly unattractive.As others have mentioned, the foot pad gets HOT AS HELL. Absurdly hot. It's a nice feature but I do keep it on the lowest setting every session. I see someone in another review managed to burn a towel on it. That doesn't surprise me honestly. I wouldn't put ANYTHING below it or above it. Just use it as directed inside the tent with no additional layers on it and that will likely help to prevent overheating. I've got this tent sitting on top of an antique area rug over wooden floors and I've repeatedly checked to see if its causing any damage and the answer is no--the tent is so well insulated that it barely makes the floor/rug underneath warm. (But again, that's with keeping the separate foot warmer on its lowest setting.)I'm only 5'3" so I have a ton of room in it. (There's a bar inside that you are supposed to use each time to pop out the spa to its maximum fullness, but you have to lift it up out of your way to enter and exit the tent. It's no biggie to do that but I'm lazy so I don't bother to use the bar and still the sides of the spa don't collapse and touch any part of me.) My husband is only 5'10" ish and he has lots of room in it (without using the bar) as well. So don't worry if you're worried about a claustrophobic feel. (I LOVE that this has a hole for your head to stay outside the sauna for that reason. I can breathe easily and I don't feel "trapped" in any way while my body cooks for 40 minutes a day.) If you're tall/larger and are worried about the size I think it's still likely to work for you. First, you can use the bar to pop it out to its full capacity and its very roomy, but you could also make some very easy modifications and still have it work for you. For example you could just choose to not use the small folding chair it comes with and throw in a shorter/smaller stool or even milk crate or something.Also, if you don't like the feature that allows your head to pop out, there is a flap that closes over the head hole efficiently enough to seal in the heat and you can remove the chair it comes with and just crawl into the thing like a tent.Before I purchased, I was also afraid of the hygiene of this thing but I've had zero concerns with that after a month's use. What I do is throw an incredibly absorbent towel over the chair and I sit on that and it collects all my sweat. I also wrap a microfiber gym towel around my neck and that not only seals the space around the head hole from leaking heat, but it also absorbs my neck sweat from seeping into the cloth collar of the spa. And once I'm done with the spa each night, I leave it completely unzipped to allow any heat/moisture to evaporate in case any of my sweat didn't make it onto my towels. Per my worries about the foot pad heating up like a blazing sun, I never draped a towel over that but I've given it a wipe down with a cleaning wipe maybe once or twice a week when it is cool and dry and I'm telling you this thing is emitting zero odor. And that's with me using it 40 min a day, 6-7 times a week. And it's sitting in my living room because sadly there was no other place to put it so trust me people in my house would notice any smell. The directions say you can wipe down the inside with cleaning wipes and now that I've been using it for a month, I'm just going to go ahead and do that for my own peace of mind. But I've been utterly shocked that there isn't the hint of odor etc. I think it's because honestly all my dirty sweat and toxins run straight into the towel that gets thrown into the laundry bin after every use.If you need something like this or are remotely interested in this product, do not hesitate. It's awesome sauce.
