I’d like to look closer at the pros and cons of personal portable saunas.

Pros

A portable sauna is totally convenient. It is also easy to set up and no special wiring is required for power.

The portable sauna is of course very lightweight. Weighing just 15-65 pounds on average almost anyone can pick one up and move it wherever and whenever they like.

The portable sauna is the cheapest way possible to enjoy the benefits of a sauna. A full size sauna would cost many times more than a portable sauna.

Heats up very quickly. Full size saunas can take up to 30 minutes to heat up completely, but a portable sauna is heated and ready to go in just 5 minutes.

They are easy to store. Because they are so small and compact they don’t take up much space and you can store your portable sauna in a closet or unused corner of your room.

Some people don’t like saunas because of breathing the hot air. This is not a problem with a personal sauna as you typically lie down or sit with your head outside the sauna. Of course if you do like your head covered most models offer an optional head cover.

Cons

I can think of just two possible disadvantages to a portable sauna.

You don’t really get the intense type of heat that you would from a traditional sauna. If you enjoy this intense type of heat you might not like a portable sauna because the intensity just won’t be there.

If you are claustrophobic you may not like being confined in the small space of a portable sauna.

So, you won’t really get the full experience of a sauna. However, if you want the health and relaxation benefits of a sauna and if you need something small and lightweight that is cheap and easy to use a portable sauna could be just right for you.
