Great deal
We ordered the 4 carbon sauna but got the 6 carbon one in error. Set up was not too hard but you need 2 people. Seems to work well. Takes about 30 minutes to heat up to the max (149 degrees). I would recommend buying the weather strip and sealing the door. It does seem to leak a little air. Only con was the floor and leg heaters do not get as hot as the wall ones. I would buy it again.

    Great Little Sauna
    This is a great little sauna. I don't seem to have any gaps at the doors as described in other reviews. It heats up very quickly, gets up to 130 degrees in fifteen minutes with the temp in my garage at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Holds 140 and the speakers are better than expected. My only complaint was the 21 day wait from order to delivery. But it was definitely worth the wait.

    Very poor quality
    The sauna arrived and scheduled the drive was able to get it just in side my garage. It shipped from CA I assumes it was made there. It is made I China. The whole things pretty much snaps together. The unit I got the back panel was warped and it would not fit correctly. There was a big gap where the back panel met the side panels. At first the distributor was going to send me a new back panel. Then they change their mind. They wanted me to re drill holes to try to make it fit. Not doing that. The iPod holder is IN the sauna; you cannot take an iPod in to that high heat. Well to make a two-week story short. I took it back to my local Home Depot. Home Depot was VERY GOOD about resolving the problem and taking it back. I did save ALL THE PACKING MATERIAL. I am sure this made a difference in my ease of returning it. The sauna functioned fine; I saw posts about doors not fitting the door on this one fit fine. Over the thing just seemed cheaply built but is it much cheaper than comparable units I looked at. It was easy to put together except for the alignment issue with the back panel.

    I love my sauna!
    My sauna came and it was just as described. It took two of us to put it together but it only took about 30 minutes to do it. I use it set to 140 degrees and it does take about thirty minutes to get to that temperature but once it is there it stays within two degrees and I'm really satisfied with it! It's being used all the time and I love it!

    Love it!
    I had purchased a 3 person ceramic heater sauna a few years ago. However, in moving it from one room to another, the door shattered. So, when it came time to get a new sauna, I found the Sun Tech Sauna. Not only was it one third the cost, but it's so much better. It feels great with an even temp, which is something I found to dislike about my first sauna. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase..

      I got my sauna!
      I received my Sauna last week, I'm happy with it however I will agree with the previous reviewer when it comes to the gap on the door, the heat escapes from the doors. I went to home depot and purchased weather strip as the previous reviewer recommended, since I put it on the heat does not escape from the 1/4" gap from glass to wood now..only problem now is that the weather strip doesn't hold well with heat so we'll see how i can work around this issue until I can get it right...sauna looks great, speakers are a little week and static.

      Sauna
      No problems with delivery. The sauna arrived in excellent condition. Assembly required was two people; I did it myself in 2 hours, but I'm tall so it was no problem. Issues so far: 1) the amount of time it takes to warm up 2) and the gap around the glass door letting the hot air out. It takes about an hour to warm up. With the door gap, temp only rose to 127 F. When I installed simple weather stripping around the door, the glass door closed snuggly and the temp went up to 147F+. It's a great little sauna for one person about 5' 11''. The sound system is excellent. The lighting is great. Cord length is good too, plug in to any outlet. I haven't gotten my electric bill yet. But I don't care, after a week using this thing it's worth it. I feel great.
