Using a different thermometer, I went ahead and did another heat comparison between the Nurecover and SaunaBox. Here are the results: ua-cam.com/users/shortssT1D6Ged_Qs?feature=share
I just want to state here that I own the Nurocover and just got it to 60c (140F) today on setting number 9 after 20 minutes. I’m not sure if there is a problem with your steamer machine or it’s your biased review since you are affiliated with the other company.
@@theom3854 technically "affiliated" with both companies and ran the test twice. I could just say they're both great and 2x commissions, but I don't do that. My whole platform is based on transparency. Unless they've come out with a better version, the differences in insulation are significant. One reason I believe it doesn't get as hot. Also, keep in mind, that when I did these tests, they're outdoors and the outside temp at the time was around 70. Naturally, as it's getting warmer outside, the temp inside is able to get hotter.
@@Recovatech Fair enough! I really wished you had this video when I bought my 3 months ago as I did a lot of research, since I’m in Canada the Nurocover was significantly cheaper due to shipping. I just wanted to say that it does get very hot, just didn’t want the viewers to assume it only got to 100F. Thanks for your feedback and video
Hey man, how does the Nurecover TropicPro compare? Its triple insulated unlike the original, 15% larger, and 40% more powerful with the prosteam device. Does this beat the saunabox now?
@@jamesm12000 haven't been able to try it yet. Seems promising! That said, SaunaBox updated their sauna tent too. Includes more insulation, a phone and towel holder, and a better window. I have one on the way to try out.
Awesome comparison. I was debating between the two brands today. My buddy has the SaunaBox and loves it. I tried it last night and decided I need one too. The larger footprint of the Nurecover had me leaning that direction, but I thought I’d better UA-cam some review videos first. This was the first video to come up, and it answered all my questions. Done deal. I’ll be ordering the SaunaBox through your link and discount code now. Thank you!
I really appreciate that, thank you! I've seen number of people mention that they bought the Nurecover because they thought it was wider. I was shocked to see that just wasn't true. Enjoy the SaunaBox!
Thanks. I was contemplating the choice and this helped.
Glad to hear! I had someone mention that I seemed a bit too biased, but that was only because I had already had time with both of them. The differences in quality is immediately apparent. The temp test is perhaps the most surprising difference.
Thanks for the great review/comparison. This is exactly what I was looking for since I was considering both saunas. Your video helped me finalize my decision. I just purchased the SaunaBox via your link. I look forward to trying it out. Thanks again!
I really appreciate that! Thank you. I think you're going to love it.
same.. great video... purchased via link as well.
@@lisakeene323 I appreciate that, thank you!
Great review, I was set on the Nurecover but I am definitely going to go with the SaunaBox now!
Thank you!
This video just made my decision for me and I’ll be sure to use your link. Nurecover has crazy marketing trying to pressure you into buying plus the portable ice pod and red light therapy. But if you think about it, they’re adding bells and whistles to compensate. That temperature difference had me sold 🥵
Just ordered the saunabox because of your review. Used your link. Thank you.
I really appreciate that, thanks!
Awesome review!! Will use your link.
Thank you!
Wow, i thought the smaller nurecover will be better at temparature. You are learned me something better. Thank you! I will definitely order the Saunabox! Huge Thanks to you!!🎉
I think it really boils down to the thickness of the cover. It's just too thin comparatively.
Awesome review 👍
I am glad I bought the SaunaBox. I had looked at the Amazon choices, and that made my decision easier. I’ve used it the last two days, and I am quite happy. I bought an IcePod pro last summer, and extra insulation is worth paying for, that is, if you truly want to get hot and sweaty. Nice review.🌻❤️
Hey Dale, thanks for commenting. I think a lot of people are like you and they're shopping around. It's hard to tell if something is "better" than others when they all look very similar. The SaunaBox is still going strong for me after all this time (7+ months).
I hadn’t watched the very end where you compared temperatures. I just got done with my third day, 20 minutes and on 7. I took a recovery shower. I am spent. Was this worth $350 to me? Yes.🌻🔥120 degrees, sure feels like enough to me.🤪
I LOVE LOVE MY SAUNA BOX! I recommend it 1000% . Nice video! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for helping me make a choice
For sure! That said, I hope you like it.
the height did it for me :) thx for the video!
Definitely makes it feel more cramped. i just got their new PRO model in to test out. I'll let you know if it's any taller. It's supposed to be "15% larger" or something like that.
I just bought one and used it discount code thank you I can’t wait to get to
Wow, thank you for the support. I do hope you like it as much as I have.
Would have been helpful to take a temp reading of the outside of the fabric to understand the thermal characteristics better of the covers. Thanks for the video
Good idea! FYI, SaunaBox just updated their tent and increased the insulation, so it gets even hotter.
Great video thank you
Thanks for watching! Hope it was helpful.
Thanks, This helped immensely and I ordered from here with the cold plunge.
Ah, thank you! I do think you'll be a lot happier. I tried ordering their new PRO version to try out and a month later, still waiting. SMH
What do you think of the ice barrel 500
@@92584wa I have the IB300 and like it a lot, especially how well insulated it is. That said, the extra room of the IB500 would be appreciated. If you're interested, I think I have a 10% off code. Let me know if you want it.
@@Recovatech I would like it. I’m trying to decide between the 400 and the 500 and then the best price for a chiller cause this all adds up thank you.
@@92584wa I would not do the 400. It has zero insulation and you'll need a much bigger chiller. If you go with the 500, you could get away with a 1/3HP chiller. I have a DIY video that shows you how to put it all together for $500 or less. Here's a link for Ice Barrel. Discount should apply automatically, but if not, the promo code is RECOVATECH. Thanks and let me know if I can help with anything else. www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=1095125&m=106685&u=2829660
Great review!! I bought a serenelife steam sauna recently and was wondering if you had an opinion or comparison to the saunabox? After watching your review im debating of sending it back and purchasing the saunabox. Thanks for any input you can give me.
No, I have no experience with it. Have you already used it and if so, how was the experience? Does it get hot enough? If it does, returning it and buying the SaunaBox might not be worth the hassle. Then again, based on the photos I'm looking at, it looks a bit cheap. Hard to say.
I just got it yesterday. I did use it and it was only getting to about 104 degrees. My other concern was the material it's made from and if it may be toxic. It was from Amazon so a return should be simple. I think for a little more money I would be better going with the saunabox, for the heat and the fact they had 3rd party testing for bpa and other toxic chems
@@per930 Oh yeah, in that case do the return. I think you'll love it.
Thanks for the video, now I know which one to buy! Please tell me, do they send to Uk as I try to buy one but it showed me Canada or USA? Thank you
I believe they do. Here's their policy: saunabox.com/policies/shipping-policy
Dont Ship to the uk & cant find any stock of this Sauna box tent anywhere else
Heyyyy! I just received my Saunabox. Does anyone know if I can wear my waist trainer?
Wow amazing video
Thank you for your review, made my decision. Will use your code
Thanks for that! You'll definitely be happier. I think as it gets closer to summer, it's going to get even hotter inside. I could only do 15 minutes yesterday and normally do 20.
Sold me on suanabox. Well done review.
I appreciate that! I tried to remain objective, but some of the differences were comically obvious. Thanks for watching.
Hey man, how does the Nurecover TropicPro compare? Its triple insulated unlike the original, 15% larger, and 40% more powerful with the prosteam device. Does this beat the saunabox now?
curious a well...
I have a Tropic Pro coming my way within a couple days. Full review hopefully soon. Funny enough, SaunaBox just released an updated version of their sauna with better insulation. They haven’t advertised the improvement on their website. Just published that video though.
I would have loved to get the Saunabox, but sadly, they don't ship it to germany :/ I guess I'm forced to try out the cheaper ones available here.
The steam unit outputs a fixed quantity of steam per minute. As a result a smaller tent volume should actually be an advantage (beyond the lower head height issue) however clearly the poorer insulation means this possible advantage is lost
Does sauna box have red light Therapy like nurecover ?
For now, no. This is just my opinion, but based on the quality of their sauna, I'd be really interested to test those red lights to see if they're in fact, 660nm. That and I question the efficacy of a single light strip for overall healing. Just me thinking out loud.
Do you recommend the sauna box that is hotter over the red light therapy from nurecover personally ?
@@Eman-nd1yd I recommend the SaunaBox because it's made better, it's bigger, gets hotter, and has better accessories. Adding red light isn't much of a bonus if everything else about it is garbage.
Got it thank you !
How do you clean it?
Because it's just water vapor, most times I just open the door all the way and let it air out. Within an hour or so it's dry. Otherwise, just use something like a little vinegar and water and wipe down the sides.
Are there smaller size versions ?
Not yet, but rumor has it one MIGHT be on the way.
Wanted to order the Saunabox after seeing this video but unfortunately they do't ship to Europe, only US en Canada. 😪
Maybe try checking out heatpod? I ordered mine the other day and it seems to be the same product as the saunabox but with international delivery
Is the plastic safe in the heat for you?
Im also concerned about this because the tubing that transfers the steam is plastic
So here's my take and obviously there would be no way to say for sure without some independent testing. SaunaBox has numerous third-party safety certifications on their website, like BPA-free. I assume they're legit. From first hand experience, I don't notice any plastic off-gasing or anything of the sort. Although the air is hot, the walls of the tent are actually cool to the touch and covered in condensation when it's on. I suppose like any other steam room/sauna etc out there, you hope it's made ethically without harmful materials. Random comparison, but I think driving around in a new car on a hot day would be far more detrimental. Thanks for watching!
@@brandonrothsman2665 the tubing is actually silicone, which is normally considered safe to heat up.
In the sanua box take off the cap in the inside steamer and add essential oils makes it wayyy hotter !
Great suggestion for anyone reading! I do the same thing. In fact, for this video, the cap was off on both saunas just to make sure it was as fair as possible when it came to checking the temps.
Can these be used as dry saunas?
With infrared panels, yes. Not traditional Finnish unless you enjoy that melted plastic sensation on your skin😂
What is the cleaning process like?
Since it's hot steam, it almost self-cleans. When you're done, open the door all the way and let it air out. Mine will dry in an hour or so. You can also use a fan to help. Every once in a while you can use a basic vinegar/water solution and wipe down the walls. The mat you can wash with a hose or throw in the washer. I've had mine for quite some time now and it still looks new. No signs of mildew or anything of the sort.
@@Recovatech thanks I am going to buy it off your link. I appreciate it.
@@yamilegarcia1976 Thank you!
Hey I just received my Saunabox. Can I wear my waist trainer?
@@yamilegarcia1976 I don't see why not. It gets pretty hot in there, so perhaps get a feel for it first.
Wish this review existed months ago when I bought my nurecover
Me too 😒
Cut and dry video simple decision thanks
This video helped us choose which one we wanted. Thanks for the information, we used the link and are excited for ours!
Really glad it helped and thanks for the support! You're going to love the SuanaBox. It's getting hotter outside and I've gone from doing 20 minutes down to about 10-15 because it's getting so hot inside. Lots of sweat!
They send me the nurecover sauna with no heat steamer smfh
Dang, that's unfortunate. Perhaps it's coming in a separate box?
Code?
Thanks for watching! If you click on the link above, the code will automatically be applied.
MAN!!! THANK YOU!!!! I was about to buy the Nurecover and my card didn't go through because it thought what i was buying was a Fraud!! Luckily after researching on UA-cam about Portable Sauna Steamers I found your UA-cam !! I guess my guardian angel was telling me to not buy Nurecover !! HA HA HAAAAAA !!! 🤣 Amazing !!!! Thank you so much for making this Video Man!!!!!
If you were to buy the Nurecover out of ignorance and didn't know better, you'd probably be happy with it..mostly. But yeah, once you compare it head to head, the differences are super obvious and you'd have buyer's remorse for sure. I really appreciate you watching and commenting!
