What type of sauna is the Forge?

The Forge is a traditional Finnish dry sauna — not infrared. The Harvia® Vega Compact heater warms the air and the sauna rocks rather than the body directly. Water can be poured over the rocks to create a brief burst of steam (löyly), but the primary experience is high-temperature dry heat.

How hot does it get, and how long does it take to heat up?

The Forge reaches a usable 170°F in approximately 25 minutes and hits its maximum operating temperature of 200°F in approximately 40 minutes from a cold start, powered by its 3.5 kW Harvia® heater.

Does the Forge require an electrician to install?

Yes. The Forge is hardwired to a dedicated 240V circuit and must be connected by a licensed electrician. It cannot be plugged into a standard household outlet — there are no cords or adapters, and the setup is permanent.

What electrical circuit does the Forge require?

A dedicated double-pole 240V circuit, typically protected by a 20A double-pole breaker (confirm with your local electrician). The unit draws 14.4A, with a peak load of roughly 3,620W: heater (3,500W), lighting (60W), and ventilation fan (60W).

How many people does the Forge fit?

The Forge is designed and rated for one person, with a weight limit of approximately 300 lbs.

What are the dimensions and weight?

• Exterior: 2.05 m H x 1.10 m W x 1.05 m D (80.71" x 43.31" x 41.34")
• Interior: 1.85 m H x 1.00 m W x 0.96 m D (72.83" x 39.37" x 37.80")
• Internal Height: 6'2" — you can stand up inside
• Assembled Weight: 214 kg / 471.8 lbs
• Shipping Weight (crated): 259 kg / 571.0 lbs

Can I use the Forge year-round, indoors and outdoors?

Yes. The Forge is designed for both outdoor and indoor use. The matte black aluminum exterior over cedar framing is weather-resistant and engineered to endure the elements year-round, and the cabin also works well in a garage, basement, or dedicated wellness room.

What surface can I place the Forge on?

Any level, load-bearing surface — a concrete pad, composite or pressure-treated deck, pavers, compacted gravel, or an indoor floor capable of supporting the unit's weight. Do not place the Forge directly on soil or grass.

How difficult is the setup process?

Setup takes approximately 1–2 hours and we recommend having two people on hand. Only basic hand tools are required. The electrical connection is a separate step and must be completed by a licensed electrician.

What is FlowCore?

FlowCore is the Forge's active convection airflow system. A low intake moves fresh air in at floor level while a ceiling exhaust vent expels spent air, keeping the cabin comfortable during long sessions.

What wood is the interior made from?

Canadian Hemlock — a light-toned, low-resin, low-odor wood that is well suited for sauna interiors and stays comfortable to the touch at temperature.

What accessories are included?

The Forge includes sauna rocks, a bucket and ladle, an ergonomic backrest, a foot stool, and integrated RGB ambient lighting.

How does the Forge ship?

The Forge ships via LTL (less-than-truckload) freight in a single consolidated plywood crate measuring 216 x 151 x 96 cm (85.0" x 59.4" x 37.8"). A forklift or a two-person team with a pallet jack is required on-site. Standard delivery is curbside/garage-level and does not include indoor transport, room placement, or assembly. White Glove and Room of Choice delivery options are available at checkout.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes. The cabin is backed by a 2-Year Warranty covering the structural frame, exterior cladding, interior wood, door, hardware, and all cabin components against manufacturing defects. The Harvia® Vega Compact heater carries a 1-Year Warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Damage from improper installation, use outside the specified electrical requirements, or normal weathering and wear is not covered.

Always consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating sauna use into your routine, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. This is not a medical device and is not intended to be used as one.

How fast is shipping?

All orders ship via UPS from our warehouse in Los Angeles, California. After your order is placed, it takes 1-5 business days for processing. Then, an additional 2-5 business days for delivery for standard shipping. We offer expedited shipping services from 1-day or 2-day delivery.

How do I clean it?

The inside of the heat insulated cover is designed to help prevent mold and bacteria build up. A quick dry & machine washable absorbent sweat mat for the bottom of the sauna is included in every order. After use, we recommend leaving the door flap open to air out and wiping down the water vapor on the inside walls.

Can I use it indoors & outdoors?

The SaunaBox™ can be used both indoors and outdoors. If you leave it outdoors, we recommend having an appropriate cover such as a canopy, balcony, tarp, etc. The SaunaBox is NOT weatherproof. Leaving the SaunaBox outside for a long period of time will cause exterior cosmetic damage.

Does it need a power source?

Yes, it requires a standard 110 or 120V outlet.

How does it work?

Distilled or purified water is poured into the SmartSteam chamber and within 10 minutes, steam begins flowing from the chamber into the insulated tent.

What's included?

Included in Your SAUNABOX SmartSteam: Patent Pending Portable SmartSteam Unit With All Necessary TubingPortable Chair Fiberglass Sauna. Frame Heat-Insulating ThermoShield. Frame Cover SweatLock Floor Mat. Carrying Case Micro-Fiber Hand Towel. 2-Year Warranty Free US Home Delivery

How hot does it get?

The SaunaBox can heat up internally to 130-140° F with near 100% humidity which may feel subjectively hotter and can elicit greater strains on the cardiovascular system. Why? Water has a higher heat capacity than air. When you're in a steam sauna, the air is saturated with water vapor which carries more heat energy to your body than dry air would at the same temperature. This is why the temperature is lower in steam saunas but the humidity can make it just as intense, if not more so, than a dry sauna

Is the entire sauna tent machine-washable?

No, all of the fabric is not machine-washable - it comes with an absorbent mat for the floor that is machine-washable along with a towel designed to wipe down the walls after use.

How long does it take to set up the SaunaBox?

The sauna takes about 10-15 minutes to set up and 5 minutes to take down. After you do it once, it gets easier to do it quickly - we compare it to setting up a small camping tent - we wouldn't recommend having the intention to set it up and take it down daily as that may be tedious. But, is it worth bringing on a trip for a few days? We'd give that a big “yes". It will come in a box roughly 11in x 11.8in x 40in (for comparison, this is around the size of a golf bag).

What are the key features of the SaunaBox XL?

The SmartSteam XL is designed to comfortably accommodate up to two people. It features a quick pop-up setup that can be completed in under 5 minutes.

How does infrared differ from traditional sauna heat?

Traditional saunas work by heating the surrounding air, which then warms your body indirectly. In contrast, our infrared sauna uses infrared heating panels to emit radiant heat that directly penetrates the skin and underlying tissues, raising your core temperature much more efficiently!

This form of radiant heat operates at lower ambient temperatures (typically 110–150°F compared to 170–200°F in traditional saunas). This lower temperature can enhance circulatory, thermoregulatory, and cellular responses with significantly less cardiovascular strain.

How hot does it get?

The Pulse Pro delivers up to 160°F of deep, dry infrared heat! Unlike most portable infrared saunas that max out around 130°F, the Pulse Pro is engineered with ThermoCell heating panels to reach these higher temperatures. This delivers a more intense sweat, deeper detox, and greater cardiovascular activation.

What kind of Red Light Therapy does it use?

The Pulse Pro features dual integrated light panels that deliver 320 total LEDs of medical-grade light. It combines 660nm red light and 850nm near-infrared wavelengths to support recovery, reduce inflammation, and promote cellular repair. The irradiance rate is an impressive 63.19mw/cm2 at the surface!

Is it non-toxic?

Absolutely! We take your safety very seriously.

• OEKO-TEX® Certified: Every layer of fabric is tested and proven free from harmful substances.
• PFAS-Free: The sauna fabric is independently tested and certified free from PFAS ("forever chemicals").
• Low-EMF: The heating system is designed with ultra-low EMF technology to reduce electromagnetic exposure.
• FDA-Registered: The red light therapy devices are produced in an FDA-registered facility.

How hard is it to set up?

It's a breeze! The Pulse Pro features a quick 15-minute assembly. There are no tools required, and no stress involved. Your sauna snaps together easily and is ready to use in minutes.

What are the dimensions?

The Pulse Pro is designed with a compact footprint that provides full-body comfort. It is sized at 36" L x 36" W x 68" H, allowing it to fit seamlessly into almost any space, from bedrooms to home offices.

How do I control the settings?

You can effortlessly adjust your entire session using the included remote control system. You can change the temperature, adjust the time, or modify the light intensity with a single tap!

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes! You can enjoy peace of mind with a 1-Year Limited Warranty backed by our dedicated U.S.-based support team.

How does infrared differ from traditional sauna heat?

Traditional saunas operate by heating the surrounding air, which subsequently warms the body indirectly. In contrast, the Solara utilizes infrared heating panels to emit radiant heat that directly penetrates the skin and underlying tissues, raising the core body temperature more efficiently.

This form of radiant heat operates at lower ambient temperatures (typically 110–150°F compared to 170–200°F in traditional saunas). This lower temperature can enhance circulatory, thermoregulatory, and cellular responses while placing significantly less strain on the cardiovascular system.

What is Full-Spectrum Infrared Therapy?

The Solara delivers near, mid, and far-infrared wavelengths. These three wavelengths work synergistically to promote circulation, stimulate detoxification, and support cellular recovery.

How hot does it get?

The Solara and Solara 2-Person go up to 158°F, with adjustable heat levels from 77°F to 158°F, so you can select the ideal temperature for relaxation, detoxification, or performance recovery. The system is designed to deliver consistent warmth without localized hot spots.

To set your Solara to its 158°F max:

1. Turn the sauna on.
2. On the control panel, press and hold the + and – TIME buttons at the same time (the pair to the right of TEMP, under the timer display).
3. Keep holding for about 8 seconds.
4. The display will change to show 158°F. Your sauna can now be set anywhere up to 158°F.
