SereneLife Portable Full Size Home Spa| One Person Sauna | with Heating Foot Pad and Portable Chair (Steam Gray)

This is about the steam version. I read a bunch of reviews before buying and used several tips to make this thing really great, and something I used at least weekly going on about 3 months now. I doubt that pace will slow.The tips are mostly about comfort and ease of use, but they make big differences.1) Use distilled water; I read a lot about build-up in tubes and moldy smells over time. As said I use this weekly, but for me the cost of the water is offset by allowing increased usage without the need for intense cleaning.2) After use wipe-down; again just maintenance to avoid any buildup or odors, chances for mold, etc. I do it after I take the post-steam shower, takes two minutes tops, and between this step and the distilled water the thing still works and smells like new.3) Tiki bench; You will be sweaty, so the chair they include is no good. Get a comfy, waterproof (mine is just a simple tiki bench) chair that won’t suck up the water and hold the smells.4) Entertainment; I started first just using the water-resistant ear buds I have and listening to music with bluetooth. Easy. But… now I have a waterproof case for my tablet, and velcro that I attached just under the window. Now I watch in there, or sometimes just music - but now can skip songs without sticking my arm out of the tent.5) Just so I mention it, the steam unit itself has given me no issues. I read some comments that it isn’t the best but have had no issues. Might be the distilled water choice, or that I read the instructions for how to use it before trying to use it, but works fine. Warms up in about 5-7 minutes when half full, and was easy to set.6) The remote has never worked for me when inside the tent, which I found odd. It works when I am right next to the device, but at that point why bother. I think the range is maybe 5 ft, tops.Overall happy that I bought this, and am surprised by the durability to date. For the price it is 100% worth it, especially with the tips above (which were mostly borrowed from other reviews!)

Surpassed My expectations.My doctor recommended I try a sauna to help with stress, anxiety and insomnia~ Lacking time and space I decided to try this 2 person portable version.Hubby and I fit comfortably together~ provides great quality time too.This was the most affordable option I could findAnd I’m overall happy with it.Set up is easy and fast~ Works out for me since I have to take it down after each use.Lightweight and truly portable.It only takes about 10-15 mins to heat up.I’ve been using it 3 times a week for about 3 months and I am experiencing many of the benefits I hoped for. Including clear lungs, radiant & moisturized skin, lessens headaches, & better sleep and relaxation.It’s wonderful to use after a workout~ Soothes my muscles.I’m 5’ 3” 140lbs and hubby is 5’5” 190lbs.plenty enough space us.The remote control is a smart addition so I can control the settings without getting out.I have since recommended this to many friends and family. Very pleased~ well worth the money

One month in review (steam sauna)Some positives: if you are really desperate for a TEMPORARY sauna (steam room realistically), and have extra cash to throw away down the road (give or take a few years max), get it, it’s among the “best” in its market range. Gets around 110-115F at max level with towels on top to prevent heat loss. I didn’t think this that hot mentally, but It’s actually too hot and thick for more than 15 minutes at max to sit In because the heat is thick with all the steam/water in the air, and it’s hard to breath. you actually collect more water on you than sweat, so you’ll want a rag inside for your face. Be sure to get a fan to dry it after each use, a tall stool to sit on bc heat collects above, and a cheap Bluetooth thermometer to let you know when it’s hot enough to get in (15-20 minutes for steam pot to boil enough and temp to raise). Unfortunately You cannot add oils to the pot or it will malfunction as independent sale of it specifies.Negatives: rusting in poles in less than a month and mildew smell won’t go away despite drying. I didn’t realize that you actually have to lift up the sauna when you’re done because water gets under it as steam/drops escape and collect, so you don’t just dry the inside but the outside underneath. Taking care of this sauna is like taking care of a dog that keeps getting dirty, you love it but you hate the care.Ultimately I’m into longevity and sustainability and this doesn’t fit it, but it would do for a few months or a year as a temporary fit, but don’t forget to either thoroughly clean it for any real storage or the mold will take control. The rust is unavoidable, you won’t really notice it unless you take it apart.Other cons: the remote does not work inside the sauna, the signal won’t transmit. The floor of the sauna gets soaking wet, and the water is lukewarm on the ground so feels cold and so you’ll want to wear flip flops. At room temp half full, the steam pot will take about 15 minutes to pump steam out and 20-25 minutes to raise the temperature in the sauna hot enough. Have to do advance planning.All said and done this was fun for a month until I realized how untenable it was. I already have a dog and kids, that’s enough for me to care for and enjoy.
