Home sauna to feel good: four models and practical tips

My car. My house. My sauna. The dream of your own home is haunted in times of low interest rates in the minds of many people. And with him often two small dreams that can provide warm feet and good mood, especially in gray and cold autumn: a fireplace and a separate sauna. Now not everyone is lucky (and the money) to realize these dreams. If you still want to sweat a bit at home and relax from the stressful everyday life, you can do that. For a home sauna, there is a place even in smaller rental apartments. You can find out which models are available and what should be considered when sweating in the living room.

First of all, you should know that a mobile sweat booth has nothing to do with a classic Finnish sauna. As a rule, it is Or infrared cabins in which an evaporator heats the air to a maximum temperature of 50 degrees. As a rule, however, this is enough to open the pores a little, rinse unnecessary sebum, to maintain the stressed skin and just relax a little.

Classic Finnish saunas are usually closed wooden cabins and are operated via an (electrical) sauna oven. It first brings the sauna stones to temperature and later the saunas to sweat. 90 degrees and more are common in Finnish saunas. In a mobile home sauna, instead of an oven, a so -called steam generator with a water tank ensures the soothing warmth. Many operators also offer this in a slightly larger form. The generator for the home sauna initially heats the water. The resulting water vapor is led into the mobile sauna cabin via a hose and ensures a moist chubby warmth and real steam sauna atmosphere. Since the cabins are equipped with openings for the head and hands for safety reasons, the water vapor and thus the heat can constantly escape despite good insulation. This is why mobile saunas reach a maximum of the 50-degree limit.

The home sauna of Orbisana promises wellness in the living room. The mobile tent comes in a practical transport bag and is said to be built up in just a few simple steps and should be ready for use. A steam generator ensures the steam in the tent, which has to be filled with water before the first sauna. The water tank holds a maximum of two liters. After a warm -up period of about eight minutes, the water vapor flocks into the inside of the cabin over a hose. Depending on how warm it should be under the hood, nine levels can be set by remote. A timer is also integrated. Small catch: a chair or stool is not included.

Steam bath and sauna at the same time should be the portable sweat cabin of Newgen Medicals. With three adjustable temperature levels, the steam generator heats up the tent to a maximum of 46 degrees Celsius. Temperature and time (30 or 60 minutes) can also be adapted here via remote control from the inside of the cabin. The generator needs about eight minutes to bring the sweat bath to temperature. Tip: Drizzle a few drops of a essential oil into the water tank.

A little more sauna feeling could arise in the sauna tent from Smartmak. Instead of an opening for the head, the 124 centimeter high full body cabin was donated to a transparent viewing window, which can be opened by zipper if necessary. Important: With this mobile sauna, the be bought separately. Finally, saunas are sitting, although the chair is not supplied here either.

This mobile infrared sauna can do completely without a steam generator. According to the manufacturer, this sauna box is heated to more than 50 degrees via a heated float and in the cabin walls integrated in the cable walls to more than 50 degrees. Practical: a small folding chair is included. In contrast to the steam saunas, temperatures of up to 65 degrees are to be reached thanks to the infrared technology. Both the heat and the duration of the sauna session can be controlled using a remote control.
