The Hot Box Sauna

Love love love this thing. Have had for almost a year, I use it every morning and evening. Gets super hot very fast and the wifi remote allows you to set a schedule so that it's preheated when I wake up and preheated when I'm ready to use it before bed. Every day I sauna, ice bath, then RLT and sauna is my favorite part. Very relaxing and gets an awesome sweat going. Just purchased one for my sister for wedding gift :)

I’ve had my 2 person HBS for about 6 months now and I LOVE the unit! Tell everyone about it and friends and family that visit all want one! The Western cedar smell is fantastic and the build quality is just excellent. The fact that I didn’t have to run alternate power was a big bonus.
My morning routine includes cold plunge, followed by exercise bike, followed by sauna. I do my meditation and reading in the sauna.
Can’t recommend this product enough. The customer service is excellent if you have any questions or concerns.

I’ve had a high-end portable sauna for three years before the cover fell apart. When I found this, it looked like the right upgrade even though I got to like having my head out to watch movies with my portable. I went with this one over another similar box because the other one used a metal rail, did not specify wood, or report EMF emission. I didn’t have to wait long for mine because I ordered it in the summer. When I received it, I too was impressed with the high quality and ease of set up as noted in other reviews. It took me longer to get rid of the crate and packaging than the build. I checked the EMF and it was nearly nonexistent in the sitting area of the sauna. My son and I have each been using it 4x a week over the past three months. We were both at first concerned about being immersed in such a small hot space but quickly found it to be a very meditative and satisfying experience—I’ll take the peace in the box over watching movies. The box heats up quickly and we both get a great sweat. I’ve re-oiled it with some coconut oil, which deepened the color. When the temperature is cooler, there is a very little draft but hasn’t diminished my opinion of this wonderful product. Overall, I’m thankful for such a superb creative and well built alternative in this sauna space. Worth every penny!

Received our sauna earlier this summer (standard build for both size & wood finish). I wanted to wait to get a couple of months of constant - nearly every day use from both my wife and I - to provide a meaningful review.
I can state with a high degree of confidence that this sauna is the real deal. We’ve been using a standard Finnish sauna for years but had been searching for a unit that could actually fit into our NYC apartment that we share with our two children and pup. We found it.
Key highlights for us:
1. Comfort: very comfortable for one person - we have the backrest which helps with the lumbar support; and my wife and I can even take one together when we are pressed for time (we are average sized fit people). I am 5’11”, I can sit with my legs fully straight and they ‘just’ touch the front. Find it more comfortable to sit with legs bent though and find that the sides of the sauna provide support for a comfortable posture (with each knee leaning on its side wall).
2. Heat: in our indoor setup, it heats to 170+ within 35-40 mins, getting to 190-200 takes 70-80 mins (takes longer to heat to the higher temps). The app makes it very easy to pre-heat when you are away from home, which we do often.
3. Size: can really squeeze it into most spaces and don’t need much clearance to enter/exit. We actually have it off to the side in our living / dining room area for now until we have a smaller desk in our room built so we can fit it in our bedroom area (for some privacy!).
4. The wood / overall quality: every element of the build is so obviously carefully considered: the handle to grip for entering/exiting, the ease of use of the sliding door, the metal plate above the heater to help retain heat, the beauty and scent of the wood. Also the ease of assembly: I am not too handy and it was simple - needed minor assistance at one step just to hold the sides in place that was all.

Last but not least, Brady (the founder/owner) was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Gave me a video tour, then another one for my wife, and was incredibly helpful before our order, during production and remains highly responsive. This is the kind of company you can feel great about supporting, and you are getting a truly unique and quality product.
