Hi Sonni,
We have a CE-4 that we bought for our home just this past March. I have been meaning to right and express my thanks. Thanks for your product, thoughtful service and help in picking the sauna that is right for my family. We got the sauna for several reasons-to help me with chonic pain from various injuries related to a motorcycle accident, to help with weight loss, overall mood improvement and moving to a more healthy lifestyle.
On all fronts this sauna has proven to be the right choice. We could not be happier. My spouse loves the sauna especially in the winter and spring and I have had reduction in pain and improvement in my sense of well being as a result.
We got the CE-4 because we wanted aspen wood and it looks fantastic. And we love the low EMF readings that was very important to us. We use it at least once a week and often every day. It's where we go to sweat the work day away and it is a wonder at doing that. We don't know what we would do without it or why we waited so long....
We also love the true wave technology which we think is superior.
We looked hard at a lot of saunas including Therasauna and Sunlighten. Money was not a factor so we looked at features and performance. After a lot of careful research and more than a few emails to the companies to get even more information we decided on Clearlight. That was the right choice and I tell anyone who will listen that they should get one whenever asked.
I think your product is the best in terms of quality, technology and price and I would buy again if I ever needed another one.
Thanks again,
JR
Bruce,
Iâve owned and used my Clearlight CE-3 sauna for about three months, now, and thought Iâd let you know my impressions regarding its effectiveness and value.
I absolutely love my sauna! Thank you for selling such a wonderful and effective product! My Clearlight sauna has made a very positive and significant improvement in my overall health and quality of life. I have only one major regret - I wish I had purchased it many years ago, so I could have started reaping the benefits of using it that much sooner. The main benefits Iâve noticed from using the sauna are:
1. Better recovery from exercise - I used to have sore shoulder joints after weight training (Iâm 54). Now, I hit the sauna after weight training and I donât get sore shoulders anymore. I also seem to recover faster from exercise (my muscles donât get sore).
2. Increased well-being - I now have a tremendous amount of energy. I seem to need less sleep and I feel full of life. I attribute this improvement to the resultant reduction in body toxins from using the sauna.
3. Decreased body fat - After using this sauna for three months my waist is about one inch smaller than before. This could have been caused by a variety of factors (such as all the extra water I drink in the sauna), but the fact is that I didnât lose that body fat until after I started using the sauna.
My Clearlight sauna is an outstanding value. It is a first-class product and it works every bit as well as you claimed on your web site. If I had known how well these saunas were built before I purchased one, I would have bought a larger, more expensive model. However, I had never seen a Clearlight sauna in-person until mine was delivered, so I bought the smallest, least expensive model that would suit my needs. Now that Iâve owned and used a Clearlight sauna, I look forward to purchasing another sauna from you sometime in the future... and this time Iâll buy your top-of-the-line model. I trust your company and product that much, but only because youâve earned that trust. Thanks, again, for selling me such a terrific sauna!

Hi Andy,
We put our sauna together with no problems. Have used it and love it. We don't know how we did without one all these years! Before purchasing our sauna, I had researched extensively by going to several sites that sold them and often not quite impressed with what was offered, how they looked and the wood they were made of. I knew I wanted no other wood but Cedar.
On the day I found Clearlight Infrared I was both impressed with the looks, warranty, and wealth of information I got in talking with Heather. I certainly had a lot of questions. By the time I got through talking with Heather, I knew we would be buying our sauna from you.
The workmanship, quality, and most important, the excellent customer service I've received have made this purchase a pleasing experience. Andy, thank you for your great customer service and please extend my thanks to Heather as well, she's truly an asset to your company.
Have a great day!

I have never felt so alive and I am young and never thought I was unhealthy. I haven't had any cold symptoms, headaches or any minor problems since using it and ridding the toxins. I have recommended your particular sauna to everyone interested or not knowing about infrared technology.

I am using the sauna 5/7 days/week. I just love it. There are now some mornings when I wake up and feel no pain in my neck and shoulders. I look forward to more days like this. I am someone who is always cold to the touch, and now my family tells me to 'Go to your cabin' whenever I complain of being cold. I enjoy my time in the cabin. Sometimes I listen to the radio and do Sudoku puzzles, other times I read a novel. I enjoy my quiet time.
Last weekend I did hours of gardening that would normally leave me pretty sore, but I went to 'my cabin' and I feel that it diminished the soreness that should have been present. Thanks for your great product and excellent customer service.

I have epilepsy and went for my 6 month check-up and the doctor walks in and first thing he says is wow you look great! You have a glow about you and look so healthy. I told him about the sauna and how I am sleeping better and feeling good. He said to keep it up and he is wants to get one for himself.
Also just got over the H1N1 flu and the doctor said to live in the sauna
being good for the lungs to clear out, it did help to take the aches
and chills go away.

Hi Andy!
I just wanted to thank you for being SO helpful before AND after we purchased our sauna. We have had it about 6 weeks and I wanted to let you know why I am so happy. If you have children, you will relate to this story. My 18 year old son has battled acne for 2 years now. His face has progressively gotten worse and there was not a single 'non-blemished' spot on his face. He was very, very depressed.
I took him to the dermatologist and he has put him on topical and internal medications, Acutane (bad, bad stuff!) and yet nothing worked. We have also unsuccessfully tried Murad and ProActive. The doctors were perplexed and he sunk into deeper depression. We put him on a healthy diet and supplemented with liquid minerals and vitamins, but to no avail. I am VERY pleased to tell you that for the first time in 2 years, his face is COMPLETELY blemish free.
He is SO happy and so are we. He uses the sauna every day for 30 minutes and is even afraid to go off to college next month where he has a scholarship to play soccer. I told him he can't take the sauna with him :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you
If the sauna helps me get rid of my tumors and cycsts, then I will be happy but to help my child is SO amazing.
I have so many friends that come over to use it that my husband wants to know how many KWH it is using so that they can pay for the electricity! (He's an accountant) I couldn't find it in the manual so could you tell me it power usage rating?
Thanks again,

I never thought that I would become a sauna person, but here goes. I did the research, and gradually the skepticism of buying an infrared sauna changed over to being convinced of the benefits. I looked locally and thoroughly scoured the web - Clearlight's quality stood out. From ordering to delivery to set-up (easy!) to the actual product - we have been very happy!
Now for the use - We bought the three person sauna, and have been using it daily for about one month. Everyone in the family, even the Havanese - loves it. I cannot wait to get up in the morning to use it. I turn it on and after biking or using the elliptical, its ready to go. The physical health benefits are very real. The relaxation and other psychological benefits were a pleasant surprise. I am invigorated. It seems silly, but we love this sauna. Clearlight - thank you.

Our Clearlight IR sauna arrived a few days ago. My 17 yr. old son and I put it together in about 30 minutes. It is just beautiful, like a piece of furniture. My whole family has used the sauna several times and it is wonderful. I will admit that I was initially a bit skeptical about having a good sweat at lower temperatures. Now I am totally converted. My wife never liked traditional saunas because they are such a hot and "hostile" environment. She has used our Clearlight sauna everyday since it arrived and loves it.
As a healthcare provider, I have been familiar with the health benefits of IR light for years. I appreciated that Clearlight saunas didn't just talk about the potential benefits but provided references for the recent research regarding these benefits.
Thanks again for all your help. It was a pleasure working with you. Your customer service is beyond my expectations. That is something that doesn't happen very often.

Hello Andy!
Just to say thanks for all your help in my infrafred sauna decision making. I have to tell you that my gut instinct was Clearlight from the beginning and that became more and more clear in my conversations with you and in comparing other companies. It is such a comforting feeling to know for sure that I made the right choice - hands down.
My sauna is up and running as of last night and I can't tell you how thrilled I am. One of my massage cllients had the privilege of using it today even before I did. As soon as she left I was in it and I'm as impressed as she was - I'm pretty confident you will be hearing from her soon. My client's sister is in the market soon for a sauna as well and was planning to buy one from Sam's Club. Not anymore though - she has been enlightened.
Also my sister from Arizona is visiting this weekend and I have a feeling they will be customers as well. I told my son I was going to "sell" enough saunas to pay for my own! Wouldn't that be nice! I do love to promote what I believe in.
Anyway, thanks again. I know you must be very pleased to be involved with such a quality company.
Sincerely,

UPDATE:
Just a quick note (now that I've been using the sauna for a few weeks) to let you know how appreciative I am of the IS-2 sauna and of Sauna Works. I have used the sauna almost every evening (maybe missed twice) since setting it up and am thoroughly enjoying it. Every day I anticipate my evening sauna experience. What a wonderful time to contemplate, mediatate, reflect and just quiet the mind. Also you were so right about our skin. It definitely improves and doesn't take long to start seeing the results.
My 19 year old son has managed to come over almost every day to use the sauna and of course I am thrilled he is because I know it is probably one of the few healthy things he does! :) His skin has definitely improved. When I asked him what he likes about using it he told me it just makes him feel good and happy. So far he has been using it consistently and I hope it continues.
My sister was just here for a 9 day visit and every night we sat in the sauna and she is really wanting to get one. Everyone who has seen or used it has been really impressed. I can't say enough good about it. It is truly a blessing to have and to share my sauna.
Thanks again,

I feel such a difference in my mental clarity and in my musculature since using the Clearlight Infrared Sauna! My yoga practice is changing in a very positive way and I feel light, refreshed, and energized! What a wonderful addition to my practice. Thank you.
In choosing a Sauna, I shopped the Internet. CLEARLIGHT was the obvious
winner for nice designs, state-of-the-art sauna technology and quality
construction. Believe me, I checked them all.
I ordered the unit and received it within a week. I set it up easily with my
son in an hour. The beauty of the sauna is striking, and the aroma of the
cedar is like being in another world. The CD player is built in, at no extra
cost, so are the lights and the remote control.
If you want a state-of-the-art sauna that looks like a work of art and
creates a micro environment that's totally relaxing, I recommend CLEARLIGHT.
About two weeks after I got it, a representative of the company contacted me
to make sure everything was OK. What a company!
Thanks.

You know, it's been I think like three weeks since our sauna arrived and I apologize that I've yet to sit down and tell you "thank you" SO much for providing such an incredible product! Until yesterday, I had not missed even ONE day of relaxing in this gorgeous sauna...and since I did miss yesterday, you can bet that it's warming up right now as I type this to you.
You were so helpful as I took so long making my decision. This is truly a beautifully built piece of furniture. As you know, I had that little snafu with the shipping company and the steepness of my driveway, but whatever you did - it worked - they were out here with a truck the next afternoon.
The sauna was an absolute dream to put together. It took us longer for my husband and I to unpack all the pieces and carry each one around the outside of the house and into the bottom floor (several trips) than it did to put it together. All I can say is that the design is absolutely ingenious.
I'm amazed that I set the temp and timer, and then I make some tea...I usually wait about 15 minutes, get in and within another 10 -15 minutes I am sweating like crazy. I've been staying in between 40 and 60 minutes. It is glorious. I just really want you to know how thrilled I've been with the sauna.
I've been a serious Type A for a very long time. But now I actually have a friend who calls me "sauna girl" because - now don't laugh- I keep saying how it's changed my life. I used to work all day (very long hours), come home, make dinner and then sit at the computer and work for two or three more hours every single night! But now, I'm SO much more relaxed. I usually take my sauna before dinner, and then I might - just might work for an hour in the evening, but then again - I might just read a book and relax instead!
I could go on and on - thankfully, I won't because I can hear that sauna calling my name!
Andy, thank you again...

Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the IS-2 sauna.
This past Saturday I finally had the time to unpack it and set it up. It really went together quickly and easily. I cannot believe the quality of the sauna. There are so few companies out there that dedicate themselves to quality control in products and in customer service. I wish more companies shared your zest for business.
The workmanship is outstanding!

We installed our corner unit a week ago and absolutely love it!!! I am battling breast cancer and believe your high-quality sauna will significantly help my health. Glad we decided on the spacious corner unit because Leo, our cat, insists on joining us during our daily sauna sessions. I checked on the Web and it appears saunas are even healthful for dogs and cats. Good thing, because he loves it!
Thank you for making available such a high-quality, easy-to-assemble product.

My husband and I ordered your CLS-2 last May. Unbelievably, we set it up, but did not have a chance to use it until this week!!!! I just want you to know how much we LOVE it! I have been using it about 2-3 hours before I go to bed and I have been sleeping like a baby! I do have one question, though. What is the recommended number of times to use it per day? Would it be advantageous to use it once in the morning and once at night - or is that too much? Count us amoung your ecstatic customers!

We did receive the sauna in great condition and absolutely love it. We try to use it everyday and can't believe how good it makes me feel. Before and since my purchase I have seen many different brands of sauna's and the Clearlight beats them all.

Hi Andy,
I've been so busy over the last few weeks that it has been difficult to even
e-mail you. Thanks for the part. I received it and installed it. But THANKS
even more for the sauna. My wife and I have been using it (twice daily
sometimes) and it has exceeded all of our expectations. In fact it is so
wonderful that we are being selfish for a while and we have not introduced
our relatives and friends to this marvelous experience as yet. We'll
probably not have a chance for ourselves when they begin coming over.
I can't begin to express our gratitude to you, Andy for all that you have
done for us. We will certainly give Clearlight Saunas (and you!) the highest
recommendation. You can definitey look forward to references coming out of
Trinidad and Tobago.
I have received my first (and only) newsletter dated 7/22 and I have found
it very useful and informative. Are there any more issues of the newsletter?
The information will be great for our visitors as well as it reduces the
amount of explaining that we have to do.
Thanks again Andy, and I'll keep you posted as we go along.

We received our sauna in excellent shape, it was easy to put together, a task my wife and I accomplished in about 40 minutes without any arguments or heated discussions, a first for us. :)
We have used the sauna frequently and throughly enjoy it. I highly recommend this Sauna, and I have looked at a lot of them prior to my purchase.

The following is a reference email to a new customer by one of our existing customers who did extensive research into far infrared saunas before making a decision on what brand to buy. The new customer asked several questions and the questions and answers are below:
Dear A-
I was given your name and e-mail by Andy at Sauna Works. We are contemplating buying an infrared sauna from them this week. We are located in San Rafael CA (just north of San Francisco) and plan to place it outside in our backyard. I have a few questions which Iâd like to ask of you, if you donât mind.
How long have you had the sauna? I bought it the week before Christmas. I ordered it on a Friday, late afternoon, it arrived in Kansas City on MONDAY, i scheduled delivery for Wednesday and the local shipper put it in my garage. I could have gotten it sooner if I was able to coordinate delivery with work schedule.
How do you like it? It's AWESOME. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Do you use it very often? I'd like to use it every day now that Holiday travel is done with. The night I put it together I got in at 10pm and was awake until 4:30, because my system was energized. Definitely a sign it's doing something. I'd suggest using it first thing in the morning to get the day started off right, or after work to wind down before going to bed. I have friends, in-laws, etc that are begging to use it.
Which size unit do you have? I have the IS-2. If you are looking at other saunas, pay attention to INTERIOR dimensions as some 2-person saunas are 8-10" narrower and 4"+ shallower which is NOT adequate for 2 people. I'm 6'-1 and find it quite comfortable, though I can't stand up in it, that's not really necessary. It's in my basement and is 3-4" below the dropped ceiling so I wouldn't want it much taller.
How has the service and support been from the company? FANTASTIC!!!! Andy and I exchanged dozens of emails in my extensive research to find the "best" sauna.
Have you had any problems with the equipment? Not at all. All components are covered by a LIFETIME warranty, something only a few other companies match.
Any other comments or suggestions are most welcome. As I previously wrote in my email that crashed... I could write a book! You mentioned putting it outside. I'd DEFINITELY go with cedar for it's hot/cold expansion, resistance to decay and pests, aromatic smell and ability to weather the elements. A cover is a MUST as the roof isn't waterproof, and it's more like a piece of furniture.
Other saunas use "hypoallergenic" basswood or poplar. Not good for exterior use or interior really. I used basswood for woodcarving as a kid because it's so soft and easy to work with, therefore not the best for a sauna to hold up well in my opinion.
Clearlight has some of the best ceramic emitters on the market based on my research. Others use tiny incoloy rods or small ceramic heaters with deflectors that I've heard alter the FAR wavelength and create hot spots on your back. The larger the surface area the more FIR that can be emitted without having to be extremely hot. I use mine at 115-130 degrees.

I just wanted to let you know that the Sauna was delivered on Wednesday morning. The box was in great shape. I was shocked as it had traveled such a long way.
We were able to unpack it and assemble in Friday afternoon. It is beautiful. The assembly was as easy as you said it would be and all the components are working great. We have already used it many times over the weekend and have invited friends over to try it out tonight. Thank you for all of your assistance.

Dear Andy,
The sauna arrived so quickly I could hardly believe it. It was easy to assemble and so far we love it! It is so beautifully made. I've been in it every day and feel better already.
Thank you for taking time to answer all of my questions. It was so helpful. You have a great company!

Hi Caroline!
Just received the cover today. Fits perfectly and looks terrific. We all
gave the sauna a try last night. Everyone loved it!!!!! The smell of the
cedar was fantastic and we all sweated profusely as expected. Afterwards
everyone commented how refreshed we felt and how our skin was soft and
smooth fully hydrated. My daughter who has ongoing rash issues noticed an
immediate improvement and my wife's skin just glowed. Thanks for offering
such a fine quality product. We're looking forward to many years of
increased wholeness and health.
All the best,

Dear Caroline,
Sorry for the delay in responding. We were not home much in the first two weeks after the sauna was delivered. We would like to say that we were quite impressed with the ease of assembly and the quality of the finish work on the sauna.
Everything is in good working order. We have now used it 6 or 7
times and are completely loving it! Thanks to Clearlight (special thanks to Andy for all his help) for making this purchase easy and rewarding.
Cheers,

Hi, Andy,
 Â
The sauna is up, assembled, plugged in and we started using it over the weekend. We are thrilled with it. I really could not be happier.
Â
My doctor had recommended that I try one at a local bodycare place before we invested in our own. The one they have there is an Airwall and it's fine but the Clearlight is much nicer.  The Clearlight just seems to be higher quality overall. It's better built and more comfortable as well and the interior controls are a huge plus. I am glad we got the three-person size. When G and I are in there together we have room to spread out a little.
Â
A contractor friend of ours was over to visit and he pointed out details in the woodworking of the cabinet I would not have noticed otherwise. He was very impressed.
 Â
Thanks!

This note is from a customer who bought a competitors sauna made in Asia, returned it due to problems and bought a Clearlight IS-3:
February 23, 2006 - I must tell you that the sauna is more than I expected. The workmanship that you put into your saunas are excellent. I had no problem putting it together either as a matter of fact it only took 30 minutes and that included unpacking it. I have used it almost every night since I put it up and I must tell you I feel like a new person. Once again thank you for such an exceptional product and your expertise on the Clearlight Infared Sauna.
I would recommend Clearlight Saunas to anyone with an interest in purchasing one.
P.S. My mother said WOW!!!!

To whom it may concern,
This is just an update about my IS-3 sauna. It's been 4 years since I
purchased my sauna from Sauna Works and I have no complaints at all. The workmanship of this product is amazing. I beleive when you say lifetime warranty that's a fact. The sauna will outlast me in my lifetime!!!!
Thanks once again,

Yes we received it and it was in great shape. I was very impressed with the workmanship and the attention to detail. It went together very easy and everything fit perfectly. I think it took me about 30 minutes to assemble, it actually took me longer to uncrate it than it took me to put it together.  It is evident that your staff takes pride in their workmanship. I want to thank your company for an excellent product.

Hi Andy,
Our sauna arrived yesterday; it's beautiful! My husband had it put together
and in use within an hour of his arrival home from work. He loved it and
can't wait to use it again tonight when he gets home. Thanks again for
making such a great product and for making it in the U.S.!
I just wanted to let you know we received the sauna ok. Â It came undamaged and it took longer to unpack than it did to put it together. Â My wife and I both love it, and I being very particular about quality can say I can find very little wrong with it. Â If I had to find something that could use improvement.........it would be the radio/cd players volume control. Â When you are sitting quietly inside the sauna, and would like some soft background music, I find the lowest setting is still too high for my tastes. Â I have overcome that by setting the reverb to a negative number. Â
But I wanted to thank-you and congratulate the entire staff for putting together a quality sauna. Â The feeling of quality will far outlast the feeling of low price. Â Please pass this on to your staff.
You may use me as a reference should the need arise.
God's Blessings to you all,

Dear Caroline Ryan,
We love the Sauna and it arrived in great shape. I had to moved it
up stairs since the porch was to cold.
My family and I are in it at least 5 out of the 7 days of the week.
Very relaxing.
What do we need to do for the inside as for cleaning it?
Thanks you so much again for a great product

We love our new Sauna. I think it was one of the best investments we could have made.... My husband and kids are going into it nearly every night. It takes the chill out of those days where the weather doesn't get above 0 degrees.
