Buying an infrared sauna, but what should I look out for?
You don't buy an infrared sauna every day. So what should you pay attention to? A number of things are very important when buying an infrared sauna. The infrared heaters are a very important part of the cabin's engine. But the type of wood and model choice also play an important role in the purchase. But the company where the cabin purchase the place where you put it to are important.
Different types of wood for the cabin
There are different types of wood from which an infrared sauna can be made. Canadian red cedar is definitely the best quality. This type of wood has a number of advantages, including the fact that it naturally kills fungus and bacteria. This prevents bacteria from settling in the infrared sauna. Canadian red cedar also has a wonderful aromatic smell and is suitable for use in damp spaces such as bathrooms, basements or garden huts. Unfortunately, this wood species does cost more than most other wood species such as Hemlock, white cedar or spruce wood. This is because this wood species is actually only found in North America.
A good alternative file for Canadian red cedar is white cedar or hemlock. This wood species does not have the fungus and bacteria-killing properties. But it is otherwise a fine wood for infrared cabins and much cheaper. Optionally, you can buy an extra sauna cushion for this type of wood so that perspiration can never penetrate the bench of the cabin. Click here for more info on maintenance...
Infrared heaters most important for infrared sauna operation
When buying an infrared sauna, I personally think the infrared emitters are the most important thing to consider. There are different types of emitters on the market and there is no single way of saying that a particular type of infrared emitters are the best. It depends on the reason for which you are buying the cabin. Nowadays, fortunately, it is possible to combine different types of infrared emitters in one cabin. For example, you can combine shortwave (IR-A), mediumwave (IR-B) and longwave (IR-C) together in one infrared sauna. At SuperSauna, we can also combine plate heaters (especially for treatment of shoulders and back) and tube heaters. Click here for more info on the different types of infrared heaters.
Information on buying and pricing an infrared cabin / infrared sauna
There are huge price differences between the various infrared saunas; at DIY stores and online shops, they can often be found between 600 and 1000 euros. In addition, there are also brands such as Armstark, Sunlighten and Health mate which only start at 2500 euros and above. What is important to consider when buying an ir cabin is that it is a product that will be used for a long time. This makes not only the purchase price important, but also the cost of any infrared radiators that need to be replaced outside the warranty period. What is the lifetime of the radiant heaters? At SuperSauna, we use Infraheat radiant heaters with more than 20,000 burning hours and a 10-year warranty. A cheap cabin can therefore end up being an expensive one if the heaters fail after a few years and you have to buy new ones because they are no longer under guarantee. With enduring brands, like expensive cars, you also pay a portion for the brand name and all the promotion and advertising around it. Because of this, I think SuperSauna is a good middle way with an affordable product for excellent quality.
Iedere bedrijf heeft goede garantie en service voorwaarden, tot u er echt een beroep op moet doen
Een cabine is een investering in uw gezondheid en bedoel om jaren plezier van te hebben. Mocht de infrarood sauna om wat voor reden dan ook kapot gaan, dan is het zeer belangrijk dat het bedrijf waar u de cabine gekocht heeft hem ook kan maken. U kunt de infrarood cabine niet zo gemakkelijk mee terug nemen naar de winkel of website. Het is dus van belang dat het bedrijf een eigen servicedienst heeft welke bij u de storing kan komen verhelpen. Wie gaat het immers anders doen? Dit is het probleem van de meeste internet winkels, deze webshops versturen het product met pakketbedrijven zoals Post.nl, DHL of UPS. Prima als u een samsung telefoon koopt, want als deze kapot gaat stuurt u gsm gewoon direct terug naar Samsung (waarna u meestal ook lang moet wachten). Voor een infrarood sauna natuurlijk anders, iemand moet bij u thuis komen om de reparatie uit te voeren. En wat gaat men er dan voor vragen? Internet maakt alles transparant, google voordat een u een aankoop doet op de naam van het bedrijf om meer over dat bedrijf te weten te komen. Dit is een grote uitkomst met het huidige internet
