Cheap Saunas Under $2000 – Reviews of 5 Affordable Infrared Units

We looked at a number of cheap saunas to see what kind of value was out there in home infrared units for consumers on a budget. We found several models that came in just under our $2000 limit but they were only so-so in appeal. But we also found a couple of cheap saunas made by Dreamline, and a Malibu sauna, that came with extra accessories such as an oxygen ionizer and color therapy lighting at no extra cost. Now that’s more like it!

Over-priced Budget Saunas

The Ironman 2-Person Carbon Tech Sauna at $1999 has many standard features for a cheap sauna as far as interior lights, control panel, and 5 carbon-fiber heater elements. It also comes with a full glass door and window, and an AM/FM and CD player and speakers. Assembled Dimensions /Weight: 47"L x 41"W x 75"H; 308 lbs.

Hefei SouthAsia Sauna is a company in China that popped up in the mid-90s and their product is the SaunaKing 2-person Infrared Sauna which is listed at $1900. (Hefei’s SaunaKing is nearly identical in size, shape, and design to the Heathmate’s Ironman unit.) The unit features include Hemlock wood, tempered glass door and window, digital inside controls, and CD and AM/FM radio. Assembled Dimensions /Weight: 47"L x 41"W x 75"H; 320 lbs.

Better Quality, More Cool Features

At $1895 the Malibu Infrared Sauna is a very attractive model among cheap saunas. The features include Hemlock wood, tempered glass door and window, digital inside controls, a convenient vent within reach (it’s not on the ceiling), AM/FM/MP3/CD player, and Color Therapy Interior Lights (Red/Yellow/Blue/Green). Want more? It includes an oxygen ionizer, cup and towel holders, and you can opt for cedar wood over hemlock. Assembled Dimensions /Weight: 47"L x 39.5"W x 75"H; 375 lbs. We really like this one, but the only drawback is it’s got carbon emitters. The Dreamline unit below has better quality ceramic emitters.

Your best bet for a budget sauna is the Dreamline Deluxe 2-Person Infrared Sauna (DLSIH-02G), which sells for $1999. It’s a good-looking unit with lots of nice gizmos such as CD/AM/FM Stereo, digital controls, recessed interior lighting, ceiling vent, and towel rack. The unit has 5 high quality ceramic heating elements that are superior to carbon emitters as far as delivering effective infrared rays to your body. Assembled Dimensions/Weight: 47"L x 41.25"W x 74"H; 350 lbs. If this sauna is too large, try the Dreamline 1-Person Sauna at $1648.

Consider a Smaller Unit?

The Keys Infusion 1-Person Infrared Sauna is a $1599 one-person sauna which is easy on your budget and space. If you’re not concerned about taking an infrared sauna with your spouse since a session usually lasts no longer than 20-30 minutes anyway, you should consider the cheaper alternative of a one person unit. This infrared sauna doesn’t give you that claustrophobic feel and it comes with a digital control panel, magazine rack, reading lamp, carbon heaters, and an AM/FM stereo with a CD player. Assembled Dimensions/Weight: 42.5"L x 38.5"W x 68.7"H; 180 lbs.

As you can see, these budget priced home infrared saunas are surprisingly affordable and work well as infrared units because the small cabinet size puts the emitters closer to your body. In addition, all of these relatively cheap saunas are completely portable, and can be assembled or disassembled by two people in under an hour.
