            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

            [blurb] => The two major types of heat for saunas are electric and gas.
            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [blurb] => Pros: A Stand-Alone heater can be easily replaced if needed.  It can also be purchased separately and used to augment a Built-In heater or a Gas heater to get the suana up to temperature faster.
Cons: Not as cosmetally appealing as a Buit-In. heater.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [blurb] => The two major types of heat for saunas are electric and gas.
            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [blurb] => The two major types of heat for saunas are electric and gas.
            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [blurb] => The two major types of heat for saunas are electric and gas.
            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [blurb] => The two major types of heat for saunas are electric and gas.
            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [blurb] => The two major types of heat for saunas are electric and gas.
            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [blurb] => The two major types of heat for saunas are electric and gas.
            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

            [blurb] => The two major types of heat for saunas are electric and gas.
            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [blurb] => Pros: A Stand-Alone heater can be easily replaced if needed.  It can also be purchased separately and used to augment a Built-In heater or a Gas heater to get the suana up to temperature faster.
Cons: Not as cosmetally appealing as a Buit-In. heater.

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

            [blurb] => The two major types of heat for saunas are electric and gas.
            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [blurb] => Pros: A Stand-Alone heater can be easily replaced if needed.  It can also be purchased separately and used to augment a Built-In heater or a Gas heater to get the suana up to temperature faster.
Cons: Not as cosmetally appealing as a Buit-In. heater.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

            [details] => Gas can be either propane or natural gas and some models allow either. Some provide direct heat like a fireplace insert while others heat a collection of lava rocks.  Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

Those that heat a collection of rocks provide the option of adding steam to your session by pouring water over the rocks.

Electric is the most convenient and can be built into the structure or provided as a stand alone heater in either 120 or 240 volts.

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Most saunas are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, but some are portable, quickly assembled and disassembled and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.  Outdoor saunas tend to be more expensive and can require additional installation steps compared to indoor.  Portable saunas are less expensive than others but not as durable.

Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.

            [details] => Our Sauna Matching Methodology

Our sauna matching process is divided into two main parts - required criteria and optional features.

The required criteria produces a base set of matching items based on whether you want an indoor, outdoor or portable sauna, your preferred size and the maximum amount you want to spend.

This is where most guides stop.  But there are many more options that can further narrow your search.  

For optional features, this guide presents each with an explanation. and where appropriate, the pros and cons of that feature.  You can then indicate how important that feature is to you on a 5 point scale of 'Don't Want' to 'Must Have'. This covers features like heat type, steam, red light theraphy, infrared therapy, bluetooth and others.  

History

We also provide a history that shows each answer you've provided as well as how many matches we found in our sauna database and how many match your preferences at each step.

You can click any history answer to change it and see immediately how it affects your matches.

                    [2] => 240v
                )

            [blurb] => A 240v heater will bring the sauna up to temperature more quickly than a 120v.
Cons: Potentially higher costs, both purchase and using. Will also increase installation costs if you don't currently have 240v available where you plan to use the sauna.

                    [4] => Required
                )

            [blurb] => Pros: A Built-In heater adds to the interior appearance of a sauna and frees up floor space that a Stand-Alone heater occupies.
Cons: Potentially higher purchase cost.

            [blurb] => Pros: A Stand-Alone heater can be easily replaced if needed.  It can also be purchased separately and used to augment a Built-In heater or a Gas heater to get the suana up to temperature faster.
Cons: Not as cosmetally appealing as a Buit-In. heater.

            [blurb] => Welcome to MyPrefsGuide for Saunas

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions but we do have a few tips to help you get the most out of the guide.

[Link]Click for a few helpful tips.
            [details] => Tips For Maximizing Your Guide Results

This guide intuitively leads you through a series of questions and displays your answers as an answer card in a "My Preferences" section. 

Each answer card in 'My Preferences' displays two numbers on the right side as [## - ##].  

Both numbers reflect how many items match your answer.  The first is the database match - the number of matches in our entire sauna database. The second is the preferences match - how many items match the preferences you've provided so far. 

As you answer questions, the database match will vary; the preferences match will stay the same or go down.

If the preferences match reaches 0 or if you just want to increase it, you can edit any prior preference.  Click or tap anywhere on the card and that question will be presented so you can change your answer.  When that answer is updated in 'My Preferences', the database and preference matches could both change.  

Additionally, both matches will be updated for each answer card after the one updated. After that, the question following the last card displayed in 'My Preferences' will be displayed so you can continue with the guide.
