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.
@Recovatech 4 ай бұрын
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!

What mat would you recommend for the floor. I just did my first sauna and noticed a good amount of sweat outside the box on the floor. Not going to lie I was a bit disappointed but overall super impressed with the capabilities and features of the new improvements.
@Recovatech 3 күн бұрын
And you have the sweatmat on the floor inside while using it? Also, are you feeding the steam through the hose and into the included steam diffusor/cup? Not exactly sure what they call it, but that should collect any of the extra water. If I have those two things in place, the bottom is never wet afterwards. That aside, any rubber mat would work. You could pick up a gym floor tile or horse stall mat. Either would work.

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.
@FitnessWithDarius 2 ай бұрын
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.
@rubengonzalez5573 3 ай бұрын
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 3 ай бұрын
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.

Any word on if they will add infrared in the future? Leaning towards nurecover for that reason
@Recovatech Ай бұрын
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 it’s freezing temps outside and some wetness on the sauna when it is left outside in freezing temperatures, will the ice damage it?

For long-term longevity, I'd minimize the amount of direct exposure to the elements, especially if it's getting covered in ice.
@PMart317 4 ай бұрын
Is this safe indoor/basement? Guessing it needs to be by a window or a fan to flow the steam out?
@Recovatech 4 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.

@Recovatech 7 күн бұрын
Never tried it. I did have a sauna blanket from HigherDose and I think they'd be similar. I thought it worked well. I kind of didn't like just lying on the floor for 45 minutes, sweating in a bag. In the end, not my thing. At least in the SaunaBox I can sit/stand and move around a little.

If you don't have distilled, then purified water for sure. You're breathing in that water vapor so you want to make sure it's as pure as possible.

Is it ok to use it indoors ?
@Recovatech 3 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.

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.

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

I don't think so. Contrast therapy is pretty popular, where people will get in a suana and immediately jump in cold water afterwards. You'll be sweating so much, a shower is a must, IMO.
