Medical Saunas is a newer player on the block that we though was worthy to include.
Medical Sauna is a division of a company called Medical Breakthrough. When you visit the company's website they have a number of massage chairs for sale, which we believe is their flagship offering.
At any rate, getting back to the Medical Sauna site, They offer 4 different models on sauna: the Medical 3, 4, 5 and 6 Plus. There is also a custom sauna option.
They are supposedly made of natural hemlock (hemlock is a cheaper wood that is inferior to Mahogany or Basswood), have anywhere from 6-12 heating units depending on which model you choose, and have various trademarked "technologies" depending on which model you choose.
As you move up in the lineup, you get additional features and capabilities, including chromatic therapy, audio system and thicker paneling.
The Pros
There are a number of pros here to discuss. It is a nice looking site and they seem to offer some discounts to various groups as well as no sales tax in 49 states.
We like the fact that they offer custom saunas, something that you don't find often. You can get a custom infrared, traditional or full spectrum sauna to your specifications.
The company is also open 18 hours a day 7 days of week so it's easy to get in touch with them. They are also transparent with their pricing so you don't have to call up to find out how much anything cost.
The Cons
After examining the schematics, heater quality, and engineering, Medical Saunas appear to be inferior compared to premium brands like Sun Home Saunas. We tested out a Medical Sauna and determined that the heaters were not very powerful and there will several 'cold spots' throughout the unit which translates to poor heater design. Their warranty is also only 3 years, where Clearlight by Sun Home Saunas is lifetime.
The Bottom Line on Medical Sauna
There are plenty of excellent options out there for those looking to make the significant investment in a sauna. Medical Sauna is a lower cost alternative that we would consider 'middle-tier'. If you don't have the budget for a premium sauna like Sun Home Saunas then we would consider a Medical Sauna.
