| Sauna | EMF claim (brand's words) |
|---|---|

Start with your outlet. On a standard 15A outlet: the JNH Tosi 2 for two people on a budget, or the Clearlight Premier IS-2 if you want a lifetime warranty. The cheapest we found is the one-person JNH Joyous 1 ($999 when we checked, 1-year warranty). With a dedicated 20A outlet, the Sun Home Solstice 2 and Peak Everest 2 publish prices and give 7 years.
Many do. Of the 20 indoor infrared saunas we compared, 8 run on a standard 15A outlet, 9 need a dedicated 120V / 20A circuit with a NEMA 5-20 plug, and 3 larger cabins need 240V. Check the model, not the brand: Clearlight's Premier IS-2 runs on 15A while its Sanctuary 2 needs 20A.
One with near, mid and far infrared heaters, rather than far infrared only. The heater column in our table shows which each sauna uses: some (like the Sun Home Solstice 2 and Dynamic Barcelona) are far infrared only, and SaunaSpace uses near-infrared bulbs.
We can't say. We list each brand's claim in its own words. Sunlighten names its tester (Vitatech Electromagnetics); most others give no testing details.
