I appreciate that! I'm definitely looking forward to warmer temps outside. That said, I hopped in today and it was about 60 degrees out and the tent got HOT! I'm really curious to see how it will be in the summer. I'm guessing I won't be in there for more than 10 minutes.

Windows made from fiberglass is an upgrade from vinyl due to its durability in temp changes. If the poles are indeed fiberglass they should do fine

I should be receiving my saunabox and cold plunge combo today! Super stoked. I was going to set it up in the garage so hopefully it doesn't cause an issue with too much moisure in the house but I was going to just open the garage and setup a fan to help vent/dry it out. One thing I would recommend is using distilled water only to prevent calcification and all that crap gumming up the machine. Idk if you mentioned that or not. Solid review ty.

The SaunaBox contains the steam really well, so the only time it will air out is when you open the door. Honestly, I don't think it will have any more impact than if you took an extended hot shower in your bathroom. Yeah I agree, air it out with a small fan and you should be good. Great point about using distilled. Not a bad idea all around. Thanks for commenting!

How do you think this would do in a finished basement? Is it best to have this outside?

@Recovatech

2 ай бұрын

Totally doable. The sweat mat does a great job collecting most of the water/sweat, but I would still place it on something that could stand up to some moisture (no carpet). As far as the steam, it's really well self-contained in the tent and when you do open it, it's a quick burst of steam and then it dissipates right away. No more than a shower if that helps. When you're done, open it up all the way and use a fan to dry it out for an hour or so. Very low maintenance overall.

Any word on if they will add infrared in the future? Leaning towards nurecover for that reason

Still no word. That said, I'd be really curious to test that red light strip to see if it, in fact, does transmit 660nm wavelengths. To be clear I don't have anything against, Nurecover. Just curious to know. BTW, I noticed they now have a PRO sauna with extra insulation. That might be worth trying. If you go that route, this will get you 20% off anything: www.nurecover.com/discount/RT20

So if i keep in garage which can get into low 90’s in Florida , it should not be affected by “ cooler” air

Not a chance. I've noticed as it's getting warmer outside that I'm actually scaling back the amount of time I spend in it. I've always kept it on the highest setting and could go 20+ minutes. Now I get to about 15 and I'm done. Just feels so much hotter inside.

So.. I feel like I have to turn on off every time I want to use the sauna. Reason being is the water doesn’t travel to water collecter. Have you have you had this issue?

@Recovatech

You're saying the steam doesn't travel through the tube to the collector? I'm not sure what's happening there, but no, I haven't had a single issue.

It has a mat on the bottom to protect from ripping etc. I was gonna do nure but after everything I’ve watched and read the sauna box is what I’m going with. I wanted the nurecover cause it has a read light therapy one and it said it’s wider but again it doesn’t look like it really is

For long-term longevity, I'd minimize the amount of direct exposure to the elements, especially if it's getting covered in ice.

Is this safe indoor/basement? Guessing it needs to be by a window or a fan to flow the steam out?

@Recovatech

3 ай бұрын

Sure you can. The steam is pretty much contained while the door is closed, but once you're done, be sure to air it out really well. You could simply use a fan to dry it out. I know a lot of people are concerned about the steam causing damage, but it's not much different than taking a hot shower with the door closed.

Can it be used inside our bathroom? We have a ton of space

@Recovatech

4 ай бұрын

Absolutely! You can use it anywhere indoors. I would just make sure you have good ventilation to air it out afterward. That could simply mean to run a fan to get rid of the condensation inside the tent. You just don't want it sitting there and not drying out.

Indoor, level 4, 30 mins,,,cooks me out,,,nice wet sauna !

Is it ok to use it indoors ?

@Recovatech

2 ай бұрын

Absolutely, as long as you use caution. The sweat mat does a great job at absorbing water, but I'd put a waterproof mat underneath the entire thing. Also, just like outdoors, you want to make sure you air it out really well afterward. Otherwise, the steam is well contained and once you do open it, I don't think it's more than what a hot shower would put off.

Do you leave yours outside? Or if anyone else leaves it outside, I'd like to hear how everyone protects it from the elements?
