FirzoneFZ-100 Portable Infrared Sauna

I bought this because I want to try thermotherapy as a treatment for a medical condition.Overall, I'd describe the design as basic, but well thought out. For instance, the neck hole has two washable zip-out liners to catch sweat running down, and simple fold down cover to retain heat when nobody's in there.The controls are very simple: you can set the timer, set the temperature and turn on or off the foot heating pad. A small folding chair is also included.I am 6 feet / 183 cm tall, and I just about fit into this. If I was any taller, I'd have to swap out the seat for something lower.

Good product and fast reply when I asked where the chair was! Not super comfy but good otherwise

It wasn't until I'd ordered it that I was alerted to the fact that many portable saunas have very high electomagnetic radiation readings, which is detrimental to health in the long-term, and potentially quite dangerous. I read a number of reviews which recommended other makes that are very low, but not available from Amazon. I tried to get accurate information on this one but it seemed to be unavailable at the time, so I sent it back since I did, in any case, already have a permanent sauna on order. I did read one review that said the person had measured the output with a meter and found it to be nothing like what the manufacturers claimed it to be.However, the manufacturers have since contacted me and said that this machine does NOT have high EMF and has been proven beneficial to many medical conditions. The manufacturers have also said that they have more up-to-date models with a very low output. This is a topic of very hot debate. But I would not sit in one of these unless it had been rated as very low by INDEPENDENT scientists. And I can only suggest that you do your own research.

I have been using this for about 3 months now and I can tell when I don't use it. I haven't experience weight loss from it but that isn't why I purchased it. I have M.E (CFS) Fibromyalgia and Hypermobility and I found on a holiday to Helsinki in Finland that the saunas helped. You don't get the full impact from this one as you do from the proper ones but I think for at home it is well worth it. There is a tad of discomfort from the chair as it is like a camping chair and narrow one at that (no arms though) but I find a cushion helps. and it does make me sweat. I saw a few people say it didn't them but it defo does for me. When I also get very tired I have taken the chair out and sat in it completely, like a proper sauna. I can't confirm that is actually safe but works for me occasionally. and it tidies away neat enough for me. Overall, a win. and make sure its Firzone as they have warranty. If I ever had to buy it again I think i'd try the laying down one as for my conditions it may be more suitable.

I suffer from a chronic health condition. My research showed that the FIR Sauna could help in many ways - increase my metabolic, raise my temperature to kill bacteria and viruses, excrete toxins - so I have been trying it out for a few weeks. I am absolutely delighted with my purchase and how easy it is to use. Having it in my bedroom means I can 'pop in' when I have the time. Initially I couldn't hardly sweat at all, but now I can hear the dripping sound of perspiration as it hits the floor.Unexpected side effects are of feeling really good afterwards and my chronic back pain is relieved for about 18 hours.It came in a flat cardboard box that would hold a modern TV, is instantly assembled so easily, and you sit on the canvas chair while you have your session. It is good to have a towel to sit on and one round your neck to soak up the sweat.

I have had this sauna for five months only used it 3 times it is good for relaxing and muscle tiredness but now it stoped working so i am going to see if i can get a replacement, So i am only giving it 3 stars

Not hot enough

I was impressed by the reviews and hoped for health benefits, such as detox. I was also interested to see if it would help with my recently diagnosed arthritis. The sauna arrived before it was even scheduled to arrive according to my order confirmation. Very impressed. It was very easy to put up, and the instructions are very clear. I had a query, which I submitted to the company, and they responded very quickly.I had read the reviews about not sweating, and it took me until my 4th session to sweat, but the first three sessions left me feeling warm and toasty. I am only 4ft 11ins tall, and so my feet would not reach the foot pad. So I put an upturned wooden box under the foot pad to be able to enjoy it. I had worried, that I could sit comfortbaly in the chair with my head out of the hole, but this was not an issue.
