[@NavyBluesandShoes]

I want one of these but I believe I’d just have a mold problem with all the moisture being released in my home everyday.

[@Eddie-3466]

If more people testing out those portable sauna tents actually used a thermometer inside, it would make their reviews way more believable. You know, showing the real temperature people are dealing with in there.

[@geodude6244]

The one I got says 140 and it feels close to that I wish I had a thermometer around

[@Reutzel507]

They are crap. They don’t even get hot enough to get the benefits of a sauna.

[@Eddie-3466]

@@Reutzel507 Thanks!! thats why I think none of them giving reviews used a thermometer inside to show people how hot it gets.

[@Eddie-3466]

@@geodude6244 Seriously? You've got everything covered, but no thermometer? I mean, come on! People want to know how hot it can get. Don't just talk about it, show us! It's one of the most important things to include in a review, you know?

[@Bfekson]

I got one and I for sure get a good sweat. Haven’t used thermometer to measure temp. But 15 minutes in I’m dripping sweat on lvl5

[@Localdave310]

Amazon has similar products for around $200 and they work great. 🤙

[@TravelWithYandR]

i just ordered the sauna box and used your code. Thanks for helping with the discount. Your video helped me make the decision to get this. I'm looking forward to using this when it arrives. Thanks again for the info.

[@wellnessdaddy]

of course! thanks for supporting the channel!

[@TheJaiNetwork]

Just FYI, these things aren’t new. I’ve been using them for probably about 10 years now and I bought mine off of Amazon for much cheaper. Christie needs to cover her butt. I’ve also always used my own camping chair the type that you pull out at events where you want to sit outside and they fold up. I also use Abolene to increase sweating and weight loss as boxers do.

[@LauraTryUK]

How hot does it get? Did I miss that info?

[@wellnessdaddy]

i think 130, but becaues its steam it feels like 200

[@dabstudios4]

I have everything sealed and plugged in but I just doesn’t steam up, 1-5 as well 😢

[@SteveLipmanMusic]

I've owned the Saunabox for about 2 weeks now. Regarding assembly, a small amount of Vaseline in the joints will go a long way in aiding the assembly. If everything is seated properly, I don't believe the bowing of the substructure that you observed will occur. I did not experience that. You do have to use care in placing the tent over the substructure. If you are patient and allow the material to adapt, it really goes together quite easily. Once assembled, the entire tent is very strong and can be easily lifted and moved. Regarding the steamer, I disagree with the "cheap" comment. I really don't know how you define this. I found the steamer well-made and basically functioning as advertised. I've settled on a 30-minute session on level 6. I really don't use the chair and instead do various functional moves while in the steam. Distilled water is necessary, and I advise buying a good distiller for this purpose. It can truly save a ton of money, and for me it's been working out well. Be sure to thoroughly wipe down the tent after each use and be sure the sweat mat is periodically cleaned. I would also advise, about once a month, checking and gently cleaning the tubing. Biofilm can form in the moist environment when the unit is not in operation, and this should be addressed. Overall, I just love the Saunabox. I work out daily and I find my trip inside the Saunabox my reward. I'm definitely noting physiologic changes that are very beneficial. For the relatively small investment, this is a no brainer. A word of warning. I've noticed saunas on the market moving into the redlight and infrared arena. I do believe the benefits of both of these modalities, especially after long exposure truly hasn't been well defined in the literature, especially compared to wet steam saunas which the benefits are well documented. I was a dentist for 38 years, now retired and my advice to all is that there are no magic bullets. Be careful out there. The Saunabox is a win for me.

Ordered mine for 120 euro ido wonder if the plastic tube isnt poisenous even though they claim its good

[@christineesteves8062]

Thanks Kyle for the discount and your video was informative.

[@wellnessdaddy]

glad it helped!

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

Isn't the cleanup a major pain in the ass? Won't mold start to grow in there if you don't get the moisture out every day? What about mold growing indoors, due to all the moisture released inside your house every day?

[@PMart317]

Same thoughts exactly. I would have mine indoor and would be concerned too

[@usarmyveteran177]

Get a dehumidifier. Keep windows open when operating your sauna box. The sauna box dries relatively fast, even in wet humid Humboldt County where I live. No mold problems.

[@david894]

So it's a SUANA that is heated by steam, but is it a "dry" heat? A steam room is wet and a sauna is supposed to be dry. Just wanting some clarification. Thank you.

[@wellnessdaddy]

i'm more of wet sauna than anything

[@david894]

@@wellnessdaddy Ok, but this really doesn't answer my question about this particular product. So is it wet like a steam room?

I purchased a padded card table chair it works well Padded with a back rest, and sturdier

[@angelavalos9115]

When you say wipe it down. Is cleaning it up after all that sweat a pretty tough chore? How long is cleaning that sauna taking after every session? Great job btw.

[@wellnessdaddy]

it takes less then five minutes, just grab another towel and dry things off, then make sure to leave it unzipped when your done so it can air out

[@13thbiosphere]

A sauna tent does not need to be that big just big enough to fit a chair a smaller tent does not require poles and much easier to heat

[@dan.devilbrand]

Couple problems that I see which has kept me from buying one. Mold and bacteria buildup from both sweat and excess water. Chemical release from the heating of the materials inside of the sauna. Must purchase distilled water for each use because you wouldn’t want to inhale tap water, and it would also put excess pollutants and mineral deposits inside of the steam tent.

[@paulc9322]

Steam is distilled water lol

[@dan.devilbrand]

@@paulc9322 No, distilled water is made from the collection of steam in an entirely separate vessel. If you’re directly inhaling steam from unfiltered tap water you’re also inhaling whatever chems and chlorine are in that water. Chlorine in steam is more dangerous than just in the water itself.

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

Mold is my big hesitation as well. Not only that, but you're releasing a whole bunch of moisture into your house every day you use this, which might encourage mold growth indoors due to high moisture levels.

[@freewillchoice8052]

The material is anti microbial, get a dehumidifier for the room you use it in, a water distiller is cheap to purchase or build, and keep it dry when not in use.

[@dan.devilbrand]

@@freewillchoice8052After all of that just get an infrared sauna. Dehumidifiers are costly to run, distilling enough water to fill that thing would likely take more time than it’s worth. Good solutions if you are that invested in a cheap sauna solution.

[@Apollo_Blaze]

Great review, Kyle! You did a great job putting it together too, from one short King to another 😎 lol

[@111dddcca]

Same cheap steamer that the cheap $70 portable saunas use. Don't like that this one costs so much more for just the tent, but good to know it doesnt have the DNA altering chemicals in

[@wellnessdaddy]

Yeah to me, that’s worth it

[@BarefootMediaTV]

do they have an inrared light version?

[@mikan1089]

I wonder about the plastic and heat being harmful?

[@DR-hn2dn]

If your concerned about the plastic steam container, use a metal pot. Drill a small hole on its side and insert the steam hose.

[@adamcamach1]

If this is outside, how much does the weather (winter temps near freezing) affect the ability to get and stay hot?

[@wellnessdaddy]

it's like 40 F in texas and it doesnt seem to affect it at all

[@KimboDogg]

I ordered one and I will do a review with thermometer

[@KimboDogg]

Just received mine today Took 20mins to put together I sauna quite regularly and this is by faaar waaaay better than the one at my gym which is a heated sauna with rocks. It takes only 15mins to heat up I couldn’t even lad 7 mins. I use spring water and this is an awesome investment I love it

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

@@KimboDogg -- Don't you have to wipe it down after every use? Are you worried about mold eventually growing? What about moisture released inside your house, with each use -- and the concern for mold growing indoors? Thanks.

[@KimboDogg]

Yes you have to wipe it down I have it in my carport so a lot of air circulating and I leave the doors open after I wipe it so it dries. The material dries quickly. First couple uses of it though it smelt really bad from the material so I let it heat up to try rid of the smell from the tent it’s now ok. I recommend not jumping in straight away fill the steamer up at least 5 times Before getting in that way it will break the tent in. I found myself breathing through a pipe I put through the window cause the tent was leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Other than that it makes me feel soooo good and revitalised it’s awesome Investment

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

@@KimboDogg Thanks for the reply. So you're saying run it 5 times to get al the chemical smell out, before going in the first time?

[@KimboDogg]

@@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow yup

[@MUNDOM316]

A very informative video, thank you. Been thinking of getting one of these myself only question I have is does it have to take distilled water? Can’t you use just regular tap water?

[@ryantetreault3447]

I think the issue would be that the minerals and other stuff in the water could damage the machine

[@vinodbadyal3333]

I have one and yes using tap water it's getting mineral deposit on the bottom of the unit. Will be using distilled water from now on

[@NG-qm5vr]

Very helpful and very much appreciated. Accurate and comprehensive description.

[@wellnessdaddy]

glad it helped!

[@peripatetic4024]

Each participant came out exclaiming the great sweat they got. Not. Maybe some sweat. Mostly steam. You'll get that same effect in a real dry sauna if you put lots of water on the rocks. Don't assume liquid on your skin, just because it feels hot in the room, means it's all sweat.

[@AndyS52]

do you know what makes it antimicrobial?

[@wellnessdaddy]

i don't, you can check the website though

[@geodude6244]

Because the steam probably gets hot enough to kill bacteria

[@zedslimes]

unfortunately not available in europe (yet).

[@Robot256k]

Looks like a pain in the arse to set up and maintain unless you have like designated wet room in your house for such a bulky item. Nice idea if you don't have access to sauna/steam room within 20 mins of your home.

Vast majority of reviews are shilling their own referral link. Therefore they aren’t brutally honest about the product

[@manuelvargas6701]

There’s another “box” I found that uses stainless steel polls instead of cheap plastic. I read it bows out after the first use because of this

Plastic poles won't bow after the first use. It will take hundreds of uses before bowing.

You could voice your concerns. Owners of the sauna can give you feedback

[@friedux2065]

Would much rather have the portable sunlighten sauna.

[@wellnessdaddy]

i'll have to review that one!

[@FreshAirRules]

Heat rises. Wouldn't it be smarter to have something that you lie down in, that is not tall at all? This is $350. You can buy a steam generator for about $50. The PVC tubing is very cheap at a hardware store. Then you need that fabric that is insulated. Or a tarp that isn't. But cutting the tarp and then reshaping it....challenging.

[@mraugur6096]

Is there any ventilation or are you just breathing in your own exhaled air?

[@AngkorianWarrior777]

damn so i have to buy distilled water everytime i want to use the portable sauna. might as well just buy a a gym membership
