" ... Easily fold the way and very convenient to set up and use daily. ... "
" ... I was looking for something personal, portable, and economically reasonable that could assist with soothing my aching bones and muscles and joints without taking all kinds of medicine, & I must say I hardly ever leave reviews and it took me a while to write this one because I know how much I buy an item I'm interested in mostly by the reviews and I wanted to give an honest answer. ... "
" ... I love to sweat out toxins (allergies, stress) and I get to do it every day in my own home. ... "
" ... Excellent product, I have a single criticism, namely that the chair should have a small pillow or cushion in the upper part, in order to insulate the upper part of the back from heat conduction coming in from the rear heater. ... "
" ... Other than that, it is nice and convenient to have and to use while in the comfort of you own home. ... Good for aches, pains, skin and detox ... "
" ... I don't know if that provides a health benefit but it seems to make me less sore by reducing inflammation. ... "
" ... I used it 3 times thus far and it feels great when you get out. ... Muscles feels good that are normally ache from daily work. ... "
" ... I feel very refreshed after exiting the Sauna. ... "
