Hits the mark 1 photo
I received my sauna from Nordik Recovery this week and assembled it this afternoon. My thoughts: The sauna is very attractive once assembled. It looks exactly as advertised. Assembly of the sauna was relatively easy - Nordik Recovery released a YouTube video with a full walk through that explained the process fairly well. The sauna works as advertised. Once assembled I fired it up and was obviously excited to try it out. Once it was finally up to full temperature of 65C it lived up to my expectations and I got a wonderful sweat. The features such as lighting and the stereo are nice. Don't expect high performance out of the stereo or speakers but it works well for what it is. I received a nice Nordik Recovery robe as a gift for having to wait for my sauna which was a nice touch. For the price I think this IR Sauna hits the mark. Great looks, relatively easy assembly and it works well.

A sauna snob, won over 1 photo
Ok, so I didn't have high hopes for this type of sauna. Self admittedly, I am a sauna snob, and will be building a custom sauna in my garage this summer. I bought this to use in the mean time and let me tell you, it's actually pretty good! The steam was not great the first use, but after a few times and playing with how the hoses are positioned, it's rocking now. Add to that I swapped out the seat for a higher stool (ikea outdoor stool) so you sit higher in the steam pocket and I'm really enjoying this sauna. Also, it's a Canadian product! Love it!

An essential part of my day
Honestly, unsure how we were actually surviving without a good steam session! Significant improvements in muscle aches and joint pain, glowing skin, and the ultimate sleeps. Only regret is not purchasing it sooner!

Fabulous!
I was excited to try out this portable sauna and the wait for it to be delivered was worth it. At first I thought it was not working properly, but after working with customer service we identified that the heater lid was not properly locked and steam was escaping. After troubleshooting the sauna works perfectly and is part of my recovery protocol.

I love my Sauna 1 photo
I absolutely love my infrared sauna. I use it almost every day. It was fairly easy to assemble, except when it came time to install the door and hinges. The structure doesn’t seem sturdy enough to keep the door and hinges properly aligned, so I ran into some issues. It took me quite a while to install and straighten everything, and I’m actually still having some problems with that part. Other than that, the product is excellent and very high quality. I really appreciate it.

I absolutely love my new sauna from Nordik! Well worth the wait. Assembly wasn't too hard with the video guide. Heats up fast, I have used it many times already. Bonus, now the wife always knows where to find me.

So happy!
Just wanted to say how happy I am with my 2 person sauna and cold plunge tub. Both pieces came with clear instructions and guidance. They were so easy to install and put together. These will make my workouts easier to recover from! Keep up the great work!
