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.

There are several tips you’ll want to follow when buying a sauna online. Of course they also apply to offline sauna purchases, but become even more important if you buy your sauna online. Remember this is a major purchase and doing your homework will pay it’s dividends in the long run.

1. Start by checking ALL of the makes and models for the type of sauna you are looking to buy. I know this will take some time, but it’s going to be well worth it once you start comparing features and prices of the various saunas. And since this is an online purchase you can do it from the comfort of your own home. Go get your favorite hot or cold beverage and plan to spend several hours in front of the computer comparing all the different models of sauna out there. You’ll be glad that you did when it comes time to purchase your sauna.

2. Check to see what kind of wood your new sauna is made of. Cedar is by far the best wood for a sauna and you should look for saunas made from cedar. Your sauna will absorb a lot of water and other woods are not nearly as good at handling this as cedar wood. If you don’t want to deal with warping a cracking later make sure it’s cedar.

3. Once your sauna arrives I recommend that you have a professional install it. It might be a bit pricey, but it’s well worth it to have the peace of mind knowing that your new sauna is properly installed and you won’t have to worry later about leaking or electrical problems. In the worst case the sauna could be a tragedy waiting to happen if not installed properly. You can save money by buying a cheap sauna, but don’t skimp on installation.

Once you start looking and comparing I think you’ll agree that buying your sauna online is the way to go. No need to take yourself out to the store or deal with salesmen looking for sauna sales, just relax and research until you find the model that’s right for you. And then enjoy your brand new sauna!
