Low EMF Saunas

Low EMF in this catalogue means 5 to 10 mG, and eight of the 21 cabins here publish that figure. Six of them state the distance they measured at — 2 to 3 inches from the heating panel — and that distance is the part that matters, because the field falls off sharply as you move away.

The 21 here

$1,999 to $6,495, median $2,699 — the most affordable of the three EMF tiers. Dynamic Saunas supplies 12, Maxxus 8 and Finnmark Designs 1. Nineteen state a capacity, one to four people. Eighteen listings mention Canadian Hemlock, though only seven name it in the product title, so check the spec if the wood matters to you.

How the tiers compare

If you want lower, ultra low EMF is 3 to 5 mG and near zero EMF is 2 to 3 mG. These are three separate specifications, not three names for one thing. Thirteen of the 21 here publish no mG figure at all, and one that does measured at 6 to 8 inches rather than 2 to 3 — a longer distance reads lower and is not comparable. Ask for the number and the distance together. We checked what competing brands publish, and not one puts the figure on the product page.

Delivery

Free shipping to the lower 48, no minimum, and it stops at the curb — the crate is left at the end of your driveway. Getting it inside is a $600 white-glove upgrade. Getting it inside and assembled is $1,800, which covers everything except electrical work: we recommend you hire a local electrician for that, because the wiring has to meet your local code and pass local inspection. Service fees are non-refundable: if the sauna goes back, the installation does not.
