2 person sauna, August 25, 2009
This review is from: Precision Therapy Hemlock 1 Person Ceramic Heater Far Infrared Sauna - ETL Approved (Health and Beauty)
I was excited to receive my sauna. After viewing the DVD on how to put it together, it seemed to be so simple. BUT actually doing it was another story.
My husband is a handyman by trade. This, as anyone would know, is a calling to be able to do odd jobs with skill in many areas. My husband is 60 years old and has been in this business all of his life.
With that said, there were 2 area in the construction of this unit that maybe someone who is not skilled in, would not have been able to figure out.
First, to place the ceramic units on the sides of the walls, were not shown on the DVD. In order to feed the electrical connections to the source, we had to get a wire coat hanger and electricians tape and GINGERLY feed the wire thru, to the main box in order to plug it up. An ordinary person may not have the know-how and could have really messed up.
Second, the door handle was extremely fragile. It did crack and break upon application. So, my husband had to glue it and place it on the door the following day. We could have bought another handle, but why?
Now this is what really upset me.......there were absolutley no instructions on how to use the unit. After many tries to contact the people who sold it, we finally connected. I was treated like some backwoods country bumpkin on the phone. By that time, we had figured out, somewhat, how to set the unit's temperature, and length. But we felt instuctions should have come with the unit.
I am a Naturopathic Doctor in Mississippi. I work out of a doctors office. With that said, why should I be treated insuch a manner, just because 'maybe' I sound country?
I'm not upset with Amazon. I'm upset with the treatment I received from the sellers.

Good For Basic Spa Use, December 2, 2010
This review is from: Precision Therapy Hemlock 1 Person Ceramic Heater Far Infrared Sauna - ETL Approved (Health and Beauty)
My friend operates a spa, and wanted to add a small sauna in addition to the massage, foot scrub and other services so she chose this one. It heats very well, can be used by one or two persons, although, if you are a larger frame person I think just one would be comfortable. These folks are Thai so you can fit 9 of them in it. Anyway, it has good lighting, CD player, and the temp guages are easy to use once you get the hang of it. We did not have too much trouble putting it together. One thing we did notice is the instruction booklet we received with it was very poorly written. Grammatical errors were particularly poor, numerous throughout, spelling was incorrect, and overall it was very shoddy. The pictures that were part of the booklet were also of very little help. We didn't have the DVD of all things.
