- Heater coverage. Panels on the back, sides, front and under the bench heat you evenly.
- Published test data. Look for EMF readings and where they were measured. See low EMF saunas.
- Wood and glue. Ask what wood is used and whether low-odor adhesives are used.
- Warranty length on heaters and controls.
- Public pricing. Brands that publish prices are easier to compare. Sunlighten shows starting prices; ask for the price of the exact size you want.

Questions people ask
Which infrared sauna brand is best?
It depends on what you value. Clearlight had the lowest far infrared prices in the 2 and 3 person sizes, Sun Home had the lowest full spectrum 2 person price, Peak Saunas publishes wattage and circuit for every model, and Sunlighten offers the widest range of types.
Are expensive infrared saunas worth it?
Higher prices mostly buy full spectrum heaters, added red light, better wood, app control and longer warranties. The basic far infrared heat is similar across tiers.
