PROTECT YOURSELF FROM MAKING THE WRONG DECISION

Too many deceptive claims are made by sauna sellers regarding their infrared heaters.  For this reason, it makes it extremely difficult for a buyer to make an educated decision based on facts.   Don't be fooled by marketing gimmicks, our results are based on thousands of real infrared sauna owners.

 

Tecoloy heaters were the highest rated from our survey results.  However, this particular heater may not be suitable for your specific needs.  The runner up was carbon heaters, rated second best.  There are several manufacturers we can recommend with the highest rated carbon fiber heaters that may be more suitable for your needs.
