Maybe the same health effects, but definitely not the same experience. A traditional Finnish sauna isn't just a hot room; löyly (the steam that is created by throwing water on the hot rocks of the stove) is a core part of taking a sauna, and that's missing in an infrared sauna. |

Bought a 3 person infrared sauna (through Costco) for about 1600$ 12 years ago.
There were periods we didn't use it but generally at least a couple times a week.
Gets you hot, helps you sweat, can be relaxing in itself.
But it's not same 'experience' as a traditional sauna.
I would probably say it was one of the best purchases I have made based on how much we used it, still running strong, has definately helped us over the years.
