If you're interested in buying an infrared sauna, you've probably noticed that there are countless ways to acquire one.

Especially online, you'll find a variety of infrared sauna manufacturers all trying to sell you an incredibly healthy wellness experience, often at unbeatable low prices.

This not only complicates the product selection but also raises many questions. Which infrared sauna is actually the best? What should you look out for, and how does a cheap product differ from a high-quality heat cabin?

We want to make buying an infrared sauna a little easier for you and therefore compare different manufacturers and heat cabins.

This article focuses on the products from HomeDeluxe and Dewello.

The All-Rounder HomeDeluxe

HomeDeluxe is truly an all-rounder when it comes to turning a house or apartment into a home.

Because, unlike other infrared sauna manufacturers, HomeDeluxe's focus is not so heavily on them.

Both in physical stores in Germany and in the online shop, you will find not only saunas and infrared cabins but also entirely different products, such as furniture, whirlpools, wall cladding, air conditioning units, or doors.

This fact alone suggests that HomeDeluxe may not be the best place to go for infrared cabins, as the provider is better known for its diverse furniture range.

With a total of 20 infrared cabins, labeled with sizes S, M, L, and XL, consumers still have a certain choice.

S is recommended for one person and XL for up to 3 people. Those looking for larger products will not find them here. Unfortunately, the range does not include outdoor infrared cabins, but there are larger corner models.

Every HomeDeluxe infrared cabin features a built-in car radio with USB port and an ozone ionizer. Even if the manufacturer declares it harmless, you should be aware that ozone in the air can be harmful to health.

Some products even offer light therapy or integrated Bluetooth.

Furthermore, there is also a selection of extras for a HomeDeluxe infrared cabin:

  • Bathrobes and towels
  • Ergonomic backrests
  • Additional full-spectrum heater
  • Neck rests
  • Scent pads for the integrated ionizer

For example, you could turn the HomeDeluxe Redsun M into an infrared sauna with a full-spectrum heater. Other available extensions are only for HomeDeluxe saunas.

Although it should be entirely possible for private individuals to install an infrared cabin at home themselves, HomeDeluxe also offers assistance with assembly and installation.

We would gladly explain more about the heater technology used in a HomeDeluxe infrared sauna, but no information on this can be found on the website.

However, since the provider advertises excellent customer service, more information might be available in a phone call or personal conversation.

Affordable Infrared Saunas from HomeDeluxe

If you want to buy a heat cabin, you should remember that the price also reflects the quality of the product.

At HomeDeluxe, you can get 1-person infrared saunas for as little as around €1,500, which sounds tempting, but may not offer a long lifespan or optimal functionality in the long run.

All HomeDeluxe infrared saunas are made of Canadian Hemlock spruce wood, although no information on quality, such as an environmental certificate, is provided here.

Furthermore, the manufacturer does not provide information about the glues and varnishes used, which can mean that unpleasant odors or even harmful substances are released at high temperatures.

In addition, all HomeDeluxe infrared saunas only come with the legally required 2-year warranty, but no guarantee. This normally offers less protection and security for users.

The fact that there is no information on the heater technology suggests that these are low-quality products.

Cheap products are often associated with high repair costs, rapid wear and tear, or poor quality, which can lead to long-term disappointment with an infrared sauna.

This means that while you save on the cost of an infrared sauna when you buy it, you'll be paying for repairs in the years to come.

The Dewello Online Shop

Dewello operates an online shop offering a wide range of infrared saunas and saunas. Unlike HomeDeluxe, Dewello is truly all about infrared saunas and saunas.

The website conveys a serious impression through its appealing design, an informative blog on the topic of infrared, and eye-catchers such as 3D models of infrared cabins.

Regarding the product range, Dewello offers a Basic-Line and a Professional-Line with various infrared cabins. However, it is not clear what distinguishes the products in these lines.

A Dewello infrared sauna is usually equipped with various functions to provide a pleasant wellness experience.

For example, the heat cabins have built-in speakers and an integrated Bluetooth connection. You will also find LED color light therapy and an ozone ionizer in the cabins. With the latter, however, you should consider that the use of ozone ionizers in small spaces is controversial and may be harmful to health.

The infrared cabins are available in various sizes and designs. In addition to smaller models for one person, there are also larger infrared saunas that can accommodate up to 4 people.

The advantage of the smaller infrared cabins is that they fit into any home, as their dimensions are quite compact.

In the larger heat cabins, you can sauna with your loved ones. Special models for outdoor use are not included in Dewello's product range.

A special feature of Dewello infrared cabins is the dual heating system, which combines carbon and ceramic heaters.

You can also equip your Dewello infrared cabin with a full-spectrum heater. In addition to spare parts, you will also find accessories for your Dewello infrared cabin on the website:

  • Bathrobes
  • Towel holders
  • Shelves and additional storage surfaces
  • Foot massagers
  • Ergonomic backrest
  • Scent pads for the ionizer

The Quality of a Dewello Infrared Sauna

Dewello advertises that their infrared saunas are very easy to assemble thanks to a modern click system. The products are mainly made of cedar wood or hemlock fir and impress with their elegant appearance.

The price of a 2-person infrared sauna from Dewello is approximately €2,500. This makes the products significantly more expensive than those from HomeDeluxe. Larger models are, of course, somewhat more expensive, and if you want to equip your infrared sauna with some extras, you have to factor in additional costs.

Interestingly, Dewello also offers B-goods, which are available at a reduced price. According to the provider, these products are thoroughly checked beforehand and sold exclusively in good condition.

Unfortunately, we could not find any information about the warranty for the infrared saunas. This suggests that only the statutory warranty applies when purchasing a Dewello infrared sauna.

If providers do not offer a guarantee on their products, it indicates that they may be of inferior quality and you may not be able to use them flawlessly for too long. However, we can only speculate about this.

If you are considering buying a Dewello infrared sauna, you should therefore thoroughly inquire about the warranty service, the technology of the infrared heaters, and the use of the ozone ionizer beforehand.

Which is the best infrared sauna?

Many consumers ask this question, and we would like to answer it here.

Both Dewello and HomeDeluxe offer a wide selection of infrared saunas.

While HomeDeluxe primarily convinces with low prices, Dewello relies on innovation in some models, such as the DUO heaters.

The idea here is that different infrared heaters provide more effect in the heat cabin.

However, it is overlooked that the placement of the infrared heaters is crucial to experience the full effect of the infrared heat.

Clearlight infrared saunas excel here, guaranteeing a 360° effect and maximum legroom thanks to optimal heater placement.

It is striking that neither provider offers a guarantee on their products. If we compare this with a Clearlight infrared sauna, another shortcoming becomes apparent here.

Clearlight offers a lifetime warranty on all products for private use, which significantly reduces the risk for you as a consumer when purchasing and provides security.

To emerge as the best infrared sauna in comparison, further health aspects should also be considered. Especially the ozone ionizers used in Dewello and HomeDeluxe models are highly controversial.

Furthermore, neither provider discloses any information about the electrosmog caused by the infrared heaters.

This colloquial term refers to electromagnetic fields (EMF) and extremely low frequencies (ELF). These emanate from any electrical device and can negatively affect our health.

Clearlight's True Wave™ far-infrared and full-spectrum infrared heaters have by far the lowest EMF and ELF values on the market.

This makes the wellness experience of a Clearlight infrared sauna absolutely harmless and relaxing.

Another special feature of the patented True Wave™ technology is the fusion of carbon and ceramic in an infrared heater. Here you will also find the essential difference to Dewello's dual heating system, where the two types of heaters are simply installed next to each other.

With Clearlight, however, they are combined, so that the infrared heaters have the same heat output and heating power as a ceramic heating tower, but also the properties of efficient carbon heaters with their longer wavelengths.

As you can see, the quality of a Clearlight infrared sauna, just like with other providers, is reflected in its cost, among other things.

It often pays to spend a little more upfront and then enjoy the heat cabin for a lifetime. Especially cheap products often cause headaches and additional financial expenditure after just a few years of use.

It is therefore advisable to be careful when buying an infrared sauna and to opt for high-quality products.

We hope that this article has helped you with your decision and that, based on the information and your wishes, concerns, and budget, you can make a well-considered decision for your personal infrared sauna for your home.
