Sun Home Solo Infrared Sauna

Verdict: A well-built single-person hardwood infrared cabin that runs on a standard outlet — the entry fixed-cabin upgrade for buyers graduating from blankets, if you'll truly use it daily.

Specs that matter

What you get

• Standard outlet — no electrician, saving the $400-$1,200 most 240V cabins add
• Wood durability — looks the same in year five; tool-free 60-90 min assembly
• 7-year heater warranty + low-EMF certified — published third-party testing

What you give up

• Single-occupant — two-person model is ~$1,500 more; brand-direct only, no price competition
• Real footprint — needs ~5x5 ft usable plus 4 in clearance for heat dissipation

Buy it if you've committed to a daily ritual and have a permanent location. Skip it if the habit isn't established (a $699 blanket verifies use first) or your space can't fit the clearances.

Finnish-sauna evidence (Laukkanen 2018, Mayo Clin Proc; KIHD cohort; Hussain & Cohen 2018) uses 80-100°C hot-air saunas; infrared-specific work (Tei 2009, Circulation Journal; Beever 2010; Pilch 2014) is real but smaller-scale. Most owners average 2-3 sessions/week regardless of equipment quality.
