I recently bought a different model sauna from JNH on woot. Although I ran into some initial difficulties I have to say JNH made good on everything. I now have my sauna and my family is very happy with it. It is a good quality product.
What is considered a “safe” level of EMF? How many times a week should an infrared Sauna be used?

FROM CUSTOMER Q&A ON AMAZON:
I just called JNH directly and asked for the EMF rating. Joyce was the ladies name I spoke to. She states that the EMF rating is 2-4mG when the sensor is 4" away! Really high. Comparably, the Rocky Mountain saunas are 0.6mG when less than one inch away. The Sunlighten is rated at 0.03mG when one inch away,FYI

As a point of scale, the EMF ratings for personal computers varies from 2mG to 20mG and for hair dryers from 10mG to 70mG. This information can be found in Consumer Reports.

How high is this, not 39"s… Is the interior wood unfinished (not painted)
So it is a box with heaters? Doesn’t sauna imply some level of humidification?
On the question of “humidification” in saunas, you are thinking of the ages-old traditional sauna, which, with various method to heat the air in the sauna, heated the person via air contact. One way to enhance the heat transfer was to put water on the very-hot elements in the sauna. The water became steam, and said steam not only increased the rate of heat transfer, but also added an additional experience for the participant. This sauna is as much like the original one as perhaps a Stanley Steamer was to a gasoline-powered automobile of that age. This one indeed heats the interior of the sauna, but that internal effect on the wood inside the sauna is almost a secondary effect: the person is heated by the far-infrared radiation, much like we get some heating from the sun, but without the UV. The “frequency” of the far infrared is - happily - the same frequency range as our own bodies have as heat emitters (each of us gives off about as much heat as does a 75-watt bulb), so we’re absorbing the energy internally, even a centimeter or more down, not - as in a traditional sauna - just on the skin surface. I’ve not yet actually tried one, but I’ve done all the research, and am eager to do so. Because the far-infrared sauna forces one’s body to sweat from deeper levels than the much-hotter-by-temperature traditional saunas, the far-infrared one claims to have far-greater health effects. Hope this bit helps…

Ambrosia that was the best explanation of a modern heated sauna. Makes it sound even better than the dozens of sauna I enjoyed during over two years in Finland. Now if only I can convince my wife!
I recently purchased this sauna. JNH is a stand up company. Everything couldn’t of gone more smoothly. Quick shipping from CA to NY. excellent packaging and the sauna itself is everything they say it is. I am very pleased with this purchase.
I bought this one during the recent Woot-Off and it has been great. Here is a review I posted on the JNH site.
I have a membership at a very nice health club with a sauna and steam room, however I rarely used either of them. I guess I wasn’t the type to just sit in a big room and sweat for some amount of time.
During a recent Woot-Off the JNH Joyous 2 Person Infrared Sauna was offered for $999. The price at that time on Amazon and elsewhere was $1399 to $2999. The reviews looked great and I really wanted to try this for the health benefits, so I “took the plunge” and bought it.
The unit arrived a week later on a palette. I had my son help me carry the boxes into the basement (home-theater/work-out area). Set-up was very easy and soon we had the sauna running through the pre-use steps and later that night we started using it.
After playing tennis or ice hockey, I come home, turn the sauna on to 130 for 59 minutes (maximum). After 15 minutes for warming up to the proper temperature I go in and reset the timer to 59 minutes and watch an episode of Game of Thrones. The sauna is great. The only thing I need to do is to position the sauna better for watching the TV :-). Today I am running in an audio cable to have the TV sound playing on the internal speakers.
I plan to use this as much as possible and either watch a TV show or listen to an audio book. I’m getting used to the 130 degree setting and will ramp things up to 140 degrees (maximum). I have added the Oxygen Ionizer, Backrests, and headrests for a perfect set-up.
I am placing this review after using the JNH Lifestyles 2 person sauna for about 1 year. I purchased the sauna in February 2016. It was promptly shipped out and I received it in a little over a week. The initial setup was very easy; my wife and I had it up and running in less than 2 hours. It can easily be taken apart and moved as it snaps together using buckles. We had the sauna setup in an upstairs bedroom for several months but decided to take it apart and move it downstairs where we had setup an exercise room. It was easy to move with no problems.
Before buying the sauna I had done some research on the benefits since I had never used a sauna. After reading the numerous benefits, decided to see for myself. I have had a history of moderately high blood pressure and problems getting a good night sleep. The benefits of sauna use were verified at my last visit to the doctor when my blood pressure was in the normal range! I have also noticed that I have been getting better sleep and waking up feeling more energetic.
I was a little skeptical about spending 1000 dollars on the sauna, but after using it for the past year, I would highly recommend it. I have not had any problems with the sauna, it is well built with good quality materials. JNH Lifestyles Customer Care is always very friendly and helpful.
