Q: Can this be used on a floor with carpet?

I use mine on carpet, and I keep the foot pad turned on. I've never had any problem with liquid inside OR outside the sauna. Also never a problem with smells. Don't know where that comment is coming from. The only thing different that I do is put a hand towel around my neck. This is an awesome sauna at a great price.

Q: is it actually EMF free? many claim to be but are not. Is there any evidence of testing on this product for EMF levels?

No it is not. No infrared sauna can be completely emf free. It is false advertisement.

Question 1

what is the EMF level?

Accepted Answer

Glad you asked! I actually purchased a Gaussmeter to find out. I used a TriField model 100XE meter (available here on Amazon) and found the following.  EMF: interior and above (where your head would come out) ranged between 5 - 15 milligauss. Same outside, except on the round power distributor thingie, which actually sometimes pinned the meter at > 100 milligauss--but thanks to the inverse square law (or something), as I said, 5 - 15 milligauss where your head goes. This is not as low as the Swedish standard, but by comparison, it's 15 - 20 milligauss at my computer, and 10-15 milligauss by my refrigerator. In fact, I was stunned that my whole house is 5-15 milligauss. In the sauna, it was only occasionally higher than 5-7 milligauss, so I'm probably better off sitting in the sauna than casually lounging around my house.  For ELF, I never got higher than 40 volts/meter.  So, I think this sauna is the real deal. I was worried b/c it's from China, but now I'm comfortable with it. I'll probably also get a permanent, expensive cedar sauna that has <3 milligauss, mostly because I have to hide the Durherm from the cats and can't have it set up in my bedroom where they'll stick their little claws in it and make the wiring all hazardous. But in the meantime this does the trick. Hope this helps. BTW the sauna feels just great. I sit in it and read. It does look like a giant toaster cover, but so what? Best of luck.

Question 4

Has anyone dealt with this company for warranty? They seem like a fake company.

Accepted Answer

They don't seem "fake" to me....When I was having trouble getting the post office to deliver, they were in email contact, even though it was really Amazon, not them, who were screwing up. My sauna is working perfectly, so I haven't had any need to deal with them for a warranty. I do know my brother has had his sauna for quite a while, and no problems. I'm not sure if this helps you...
