Why these
Clearlight Premier 2
A 2 person far infrared cabin at $5,799, $600 under its regular price. It is the lowest priced 2 person cabin from the brands we track.
Sun Home Equinox 2
Full spectrum for $6,099, which is $1,200 less than the next full spectrum 2 person cabin on our list. It runs on a dedicated 120V, 20 amp outlet and carries a 7 year warranty.
Almost Heaven Madison
A traditional 2 to 3 person indoor room at $4,515, down from $6,450. Pick it if you want high heat and steam. Traditional heaters of this size normally need a 240V circuit, so check the spec sheet before you order.
How to choose
- Start with the outlet. It decides which sizes are plug-in for you.
- Decide on heat style. Mild and direct is infrared. Hot air and steam is traditional. See infrared vs traditional.
- Measure the ceiling. Cabins need clearance above and around them.
- Compare warranties on heaters and electronics, not just the cabinet.
