The I-Spa-L worked just as advertised. My wife has fibromyalgia and when she gets in the relief is in minutes. The only problem we have was the misleading control panel shown on line. The I-Spa came with a "Much larger" control but, it does not effect how it works. Another change we made for comfort reasons was to add a better chair. Now rather than running to the Gym to get in the sauna my wife can setup in any room and get relief.

The sauna does a great job on my sore muscles and arthritis. It also helps me control my weight. It is a wonderful stress reliever after a hard day and is very easy to set up and care for. I recommend it very highly.

I get a good sweat in 30 minutes in this unit. The manual is poorly written, but there's not really much to it. After you press the "on" button on the control box, you need to press the right button and then the plus one to set your desired temperature (go for the maximum -- 150 degrees). Then get in, and over the next 15 minutes it will slowly rise to that temperature. You won't start sweating for a while, but I do around 25 minutes, and I usually stay another ten. I did notice some stitches coming loose around the zipper -- and reinforced those. For $200, I think this has been a good buy, given the cost of going to a local sauna or buying a wooden infrared.

I bought this for my daughter. She has heavy metal toxcity which brought on fibromyalgia. She is taking neutraceuticals and detoxing. This sauna has been the perfect solution. The only thing she hates about it is the buzzer that starts 5 minutes before the timer shuts off. She will be so relaxed and then the buzzer starts. There is no reason for that that we can think of. If it shuts off and you sit in there longer so what. That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

I bought the sauna to help with the muscular-skeletal pain, and it is helpful. The chair that came with the product is useless, as it is very uncomfortable, but I like the rest of the sauna. I use my own more comfortable chair. The portability is nice. I use it in my TV room each evening while watching my favorite show. Although not a cure for my lyme disease related pain, it certainly has helped. Other saunas are certainly more beautiful, but I like the fact that I can do something else while taking a sauna. The price was right too, which was definitely a factor, given the expense of lyme related treatment overall. The four stars are due to the uncomfortable chair. The one pictured was not the one I received.

I just received my sauna. The sauna arrived quickly, but it didn't look anything like the sauna I thought I was purchasing. I contacted the manufacturer's website on the box and I found out that I could have purchased "this particular sauna" for $46 less. I feel a little ripped off. The sauna works fine, but I am extremely disappointed with this seller.

I was skeptical about purchasing a space-age looking hot box, but was pleasantly surprised to find it works as it should. (I think it was cheaper when I bought it, so I guess the price has changed a bit.) I let it preheat, then get in and start sweating within 20 - 30 minutes. The chair inside is paltry, with a metal frame, so put a towel on it if you don't want to sear your thighs. I don't know if this is the main reason, but I can tell you I haven't had a cold or flu since I started using it over a year ago, and I used to get everything that came around the bend. Every time I feel a tickle in my throat, I know it's time to cook it out in my lovely silver sweatlodge. It's very relaxing, and people who come to visit think I'm nuts when they see it sitting in the corner, but they're also intrigued. It folds up, in any case, so you can stow it away if you'd like to avoid the "What is that?" commentary. Cheaper in the long run and more private than a day at the spa.

Buying a portable infrared sauna was a good investment for me. I have a very busy work schedule and could never find enough time to go to the gym. I love a sauna and can now enjoy one in the privacy of my own home whenever I can find the time. I can also take it with me wherever I go.

Cyber Planet initially sent item to New York instead of El Paso, Tx., thus delaying delivery by over a week.

Then Cyber Planet shipped a less expensive model of the Portable Sauna while charging for the more expensive model, stating that they did not have another model in stock.

This item was never used by me or my wife because we sent it back for a refund, mainly because it was not the model that we ordered. The model we ordered stated that it also had a foot pad warmer. The model we received did not have a foot pad warmer, which essential for people with foot problems. The foot warmer can also be used by men to sit on for prostate benefits.

This could almost be word for word the review I read, probably posted just above this one, prior to purchase. The control is a bit funky but usable. The chair is uncomfortable but works. I wish I had purchased the large instead of regular and I'm only 5'7" but it's OK. This being said, for the price and the wonderful heat therapy it provides, I'm quite good with it. Next time, when this wears out, perhaps I'll be able to purchase a better one but I'm already almost addicted to my time in the "envelope" as I call it. I put my laptop on a tv tray and watch Netflix movies or catch up on email, even though sticking your arms out is a bit awkward. I could not hold a book. :)
