I originally purchased a different sauna from amazon for $189, but the emfs were a concern. I returned it after it set off my emf meter big time. I dont have that problem with this one. Dont get me wrong, there are emfs, but they are minimal.

I let my sauna heat up for a few minutes before using it, although I have read where you can warm up with the sauna. Its a wonderful sauna, no emf issues. I did have a few questions so I called Therasage and the person that answered the phone was very helpful, very knowledgeable, actually uses the sauna and even invited me to try out the one there in Boca Raton if I was close by. The customer service is very helpful!

Oh yes, the chair is very sturdy. I am so glad I purchased this sauna!

I've been using this sauna everyday for about a month now. It works great and haven't had any problems. Setup was easy. I get a great sweat, exactly what I wanted. I do about an hr on level 5 and start sweating at about 25 mins. I have made some adjustments, I don't use the chair, but enclose my entire body and cover opening with a blanket. I sit on a large towel. I have also fitted a piece of cardboard in the top to keep the top from sagging down on me. Works for me. Either way, it's a great sauna with different options for use. My skin is much softer, noticed immediately, and though the scales haven't registered much difference, but some(so it's not all water weight), my pants fit much better than a month ago. I do turn it on about 10 mins before I'm ready so it will be nice and toasty when I get in. Bottom line, a great little portable, convenient sauna that I'm so happy I tried. You will sweat. Very pleased. PsI'm 5'4, if you're tall, you'll be a bit more cramped, but still very usable.

I have been searching for a while to find a sauna that not only looks good, but IS good. I finally found one that fits the bill. I am always worried about fly-by-night companies that exist somewhere else in Asia and beyond. Therasage actually has an office in the USA that you can call and speak to an actual person. The sauna is very well made--I could tell as soon as I took it out of the box. It was shipped very well, and didn't smell of toxins upon removing it from the box.

I set it up in seconds and turned it on. No crazy off-gassing, no terrible smells--manual is easy to read and understand--obviously written by people with a grasp of the English language! After the 5 minute heat up I got in the sauna. Not uncomfortable in the least. At about minute 17 I was sweating profusely. It continued this way until my time was up and it beeped.

I LOVE this thing! I can fold it up out of the way if I need, it doesn't use too much electricity, doesn't smell, AND I know from watching someone online with an EMF meter that the emf's are very low for this sauna.

All in all, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this to everyone. While it is not made in America, it has the qualities of a stateside product, and with a company I can actually call, it makes all the difference in the world.

I have had expensive saunas in the past, and this stacks up to them completely, but with low emf's.

The chair is comfortable, the build quality is great. I will use this thing for a long time. Highly recommended.

Love this Sauna. I never could break a really good sweat in a dry Sauna, once I would start to sweat the heat would overwhelm me. With this Sauna I turn it up all the way watch TV or a movie for a hour and when I'm finished I'm wet from Sweat. Storage is easy, setup is easy. One thing to note, the instructions are not great. There is a black piece of insulation that when you unpack the unit seems to fit on the back wall of the Sauna, you need put this on the bottom, also there are plastic tubes in the front that fold down to lock the frame in place. Once these 2 items are in place the Sauna is very stable.

Grab a towel and start sweating, it's great on cold days.

I bought this sauna about 2 months ago from a different site as I was able to get a better price. I LOVE this unit. As someone who suffers from Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, I have tried many modalities to rid my body of pollutants and toxins that we get bombarded with every day. This sauna has made a HUGE difference in my life. I use it almost every day. The first few times was kind of tough because I experienced Herxheimer reaction/crisis of healing where the symptoms are more intense initially as the body is detoxing from all of the chemicals it has been exposed to. Felt like a very nasty flu. But, since I got through that phase, I have been able to maintain a healthier existence by using the sauna almost every day.

A couple of extra things I do that helps is to dry brush my body before using the sauna. I take a quick shower after brushing and before the sauna to get rid of the powdery substance/skin. My most comfortable and effective setting is #3 for the heat and I stay in it anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. I take a shower immediately afterwards using a brown sugar scrub as it is recommended to NOT use any kind of soap, etc. and I want to finish the exfoliating process. During the sauna, I have to use extra towels. I have a couple on the chair and several on the floor because I sweat like I have never sweat before. I cover my head with a towel so that the heat rises around the neck hole and I am able to get a face sauna as well.

Not only am I feeling better and am able to do much more than I was able to do just 3 short months ago, but my 58 yr old skin is looking much nicer... moisturized. The biggest reward is no more migraines. It is nice to not have to live in a "cave" to minimize the pain and nausea. Along with that is the fact that the body aches and pains are gone as well. After the first 15 minutes, I just sort of melt into the chair. The sauna takes about 2 minutes to set it up or take down. Of all the things I have done for my health over the years, this is by far one of the best.

The other positive thing with this particular unit is that the EMF is rated much lower than comparable models. As someone who is sensitive to electromagnetic fields and is using this modality to get well, I especially want to avoid "bathing" in EMFs.

The only thing I am going to change is the chair. It is just not that comfortable, but is quite sturdy and works until I can find something that will work even better.

update: 08/06/12 I found a chair that works quite well with this sauna at my local home depot for thirteen dollars and 88 cents. It is called an oversized folding bag chair and is made of the same materials as the chair that came with the sauna, but is larger, is padded, and has arm rests. It just fits in the sauna and allows me to completely relax now whereas before I always had the feeling that I needed to "hold myself up". I see that Amazon has a selection of this type of chair, but did not see a padded version.

another update: 08/31/12 One of my boys (7 yr old black lab) was feeling poorly so I decided to try putting him in the sauna and it seemed to work great for him. I removed the chair, covered the floor with old sheets and he went right inside and layed down with his nose sticking out. Since I couldn't zip it closed, I again used old sheets that were thick enough to contain the heat and draped them across the top and down the front allowing an opening of about 10 inches to be left at the bottom. He was able to leave anytime he wanted and elected to stay in for about 15-20 minutes each time. After the 3rd time/day, he was feeling much better... running around and playing tug of war with his brother. No proof that the sauna helped much &/or that he wouldn't have just gotten better over those 3 days without the sauna, but I do know that animals tend to find what they need and since he decided that he needed/wanted to be in it as much as he was... I believe it did help to some extent. especially since I offered to him again this morning and he refused.

Reviews of Holmes HM1865-U Comfort Select Cool Mist Humidifier

Customer Ratings:

I've had a number of humidifiers and this one fairs favorably to most. First, it uses a cool air wick rather than a sonicator (which puts the water contaminants on your furniture and in your lungs) or a heater (which is inefficient, gets horrible mineral buildup which is very difficult to clean, and can cause fire hazards). It has a huge tank. And it has a humidistat so you can just turn it on and forget about it, aside from refilling it every day or two. It will get the humidity where you want it not too dry, not too humid. For these reasons, I recommend this unit.

The downsides: It is not as nice as the model it replaced (which I also have) which looks almost exactly the same. The controls and display are a little less obvious they added more functionality with too few buttons. That is easily dealt with by deciding how you want to use it and then always putting it in that mode. I like to set the fan to low or medium (so it is nice and quiet and you hardly hear it) and then set the humidity to 30, 35, or 40. As others here have mentioned, the hygrometer is a bit flaky. At times it is stable. At times it jumps around a bit. This can lead the system to turn on and off in response to changes in the measured humidity. It still gets the humidity to roughly what you set it to (as I've verified with a separate hygrometer). And if you don't have the fan set too high, you don't really notice that it turns on and off a bit more than it needs to. Mine has not turned on and off in short succession that frequently, although sometimes it does. It doesn't appear to impact its efficacy or accuracy, although if the fan is high and the room is quiet, it might really bug some people on the occassions it cuts on and off. Some people here report more aggressive cycling than I've observed. Sunbeam really should fix this and ponder a user interface tweak. The improvement over the previous model is that it continuously reports the hygrometer reading, which is really nice.

I'm giving this 4 stars because I still greatly prefer this over all the other humidifiers I've ever owned (and about the same as the model this one obsoleted).

For those saying they aren't sure if it humidifies their room, get a hygrometer. You know, those digital temperature/humidity sensors with the LCD panel. I have one from Honeywell. This humidifier is able to keep my humidity at 40% in a LOFT apartment in Nebraska winters. We're talking below zero, frozen and humidity in the teens without a humidifier. In a single level apartment, it can get us to 50% but I keep it at 45. It is about twice as capable as a warm mist humidifier that can't get the room above 30%. PLUS, the warm one requires about 230w of electricity to run vs about 30w for the fan in this one. PLUS, the heater block in the warm mist unit must be soaked in white vinegar and have the minerals scraped off of it periodically. Pain in the butt, and not worth it.

The downside? The filter must be washed in a bucket of soap water every so often or it accumulates pink/black mold and smells funny. It won't hurt you, but it is unpleasant. That's the only reason I don't give it 5 stars.

I like the automatic setting. I want 45%? It will hold it there. That way I don't have to touch the thing until its running empty.

Use distilled water ONLY for the best results, as with all humidifiers.

Pros:

-Humidifies large rooms for a low price.

-Auto humidity regulation (great for our guitars which need ~45% all the time)

Cons:

-I have exclusively used Brita distilled water on this, and the filter still needs to be cleaned/changed at least once a month.

Other thoughts:

-We fill the tank once every three days to keep a 300 sq ft room humidified at 45%

-We have three acoustic guitars that we can leave out and not worry about with the regulator

-We had to get used to the continual on/off's throughout the day because we run it on "Auto 1" at 45% humidity

Cleaning the filter:

-Place the filter in the sink or bucket, fill with warm water, add some bleach (and stir), let sit for 15 minutes, rinse with cold water, stick back in humidifier damp

Honest reviews on Holmes HM1865-U Comfort Select Cool Mist Humidifier

No, it is not the quietest humidifier on the block, but its no worse than a box fan in the window in the summer. I find it very effective at doing its job and it is easy to maintain. With regular use and recommended filter changes, mold is not an issue and it removes some of the dust from the air. The only reason I'm replacing it is because I damaged the one I've had for 3 years when I moved. Getting another one just like it.

I bought this in mid December to replace an earlier version of this humidifier that ran for at least a decade (the humidistat on the old one is a slider knob...). I learned with the first unit to religiously use the bacteriostat, which I can buy at the local bed and bath store that sends those never expiring coupons. Other than that, I pretty much neglect the unit until end of season, when the wicking filter gets the vinegar treatment and I decide whether or not it will make it to next season. It's used mainly in a 12 x 14 bedroom, although the door is always left open. Definitely provides needed humiditydry air nosebleeds are gone. It sits on a braided area rug, which helps absorb some of the sound from the fan. After seeing the buildup of white, sticky mineral deposits inside of my stereo and other electronics from my ultrasonic humidifiers, I switched to these wicking style machines years ago. I'd rather the buildup occur on the wick than in my lungs, on my skin, and all over the house.

As others have written, the fan can cycle frequently, especially when you first start it up. I think this digital humidistat is more sensitive than my old, analog slider, and sometimes causes the fan to cycle more frequently. Like other sounds in your house, you learn to ignore it, but I think it helps if the unit is on a sound absorbing surface rather than a hard floor or hard tabletop.

For the money, I am happy with this machine. I hope it lasts as long as the first one did.

Reviews of 10 Cup High Speed Intellichef Coffee Maker by Cook Essentials

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $59.99

After several happy years with my Bunn (10 cup/thermal carafe) coffee maker, it started leaking if multiple pots were brewed in a day. While comparing prices of other 'rapid' brew drip coffeemakers, found the low price of the Cook Essentials Intellichef Coffee Maker too low to resist. After initial set-up, the first pot brewed a full 10-cups in under 5 minutes. In addition to being spoiled by the rapid brew cycle of the Bunn, the temperature and flavor (regardless of brand of ground coffee) was always superior to Mr Coffee, Deloghni or Black & Decker brewers purchased and then given away. This unit seems to be well constructed and offers a sleek design. At 14 1/2" tall, easily accessible for adding water without moving the unit from under wall cabinet above countertop placement.

3rd pot brewed on Day 1. Consistent brew time, (very hot) temperature and (bold) flavor. Pleased to be sure. I typically brew between 2-3 pots per day during the week, and 4 or more per day on weekend lots of coffee drinking visitors. I will update at some point in the futre as to continued performance and satisfaction. Basic fact, at this unit's price, I can buy 5 of these units and just equal the best price I found for replacing my beloved Bunn. Using that price point logic, no complaints if this unit lasts at least nine months before a replacement should be necessary. Since there is a 1 year warranty, hopefully, a non-issue.

Makes good coffee, but misses some essential functions to make it more user friendly and if for whatever reason the power goes out you have guarantee no coffee in the morning because even if the power goes back on it doesn't switch on the coffee maker so you'll have to wait a minimum of 20 minutes. You can't pull out the coffee carafe while it's brewing because it misses a simple stop drip feature and the heating plate under the carafe seems to burn the coffee in the carafe fast.

Buy 30 inch Tower Fan - 84001 Tower Fan

Customer Ratings:

I've used this fan for a couple of years and have had no problems with it. The design saves space. It is quieter than most fans. It features 3 speeds, a timer and can swing or not. I do not use the "night" or "natural" feature which turns the fan on and off every few seconds it seems more distracting than natural. It comes with a remote control though the same buttons are on the fan itself. A final consideration if you are looking for a fan with a high-power breeze this is not it, though I have been satisfied with the air flow.

These new tower fans are a significant improvement on the traditional airplane propeller style fans in that they occupy vertical space versus horizontal space. The squirrel cage design allows a higher output of air with less noise than a traditional propeller.

I have had this unit for a couple of years now and have for the most part be very pleased with it.

The base controls do what you need it to do; power, fan speed, oscillate. The timer can be useful if you are trying to save electricity. The sleep/breeze mode is mostly a gimmick due to the sound of the fan speed surging while operating in some of these modes. The remote control can be pretty useful, with a decent operating range from across a 10' room. The remote isn't very ergonomic and they apparently thought that writing out the button functions in English was a better alternative than using the icons seen on the actual fan.

I have two gripes though about the fan, one major and one minor:

The major problem I have with this fan is that after about 6 months, I noticed what appeared to be grease dripping from the base of the fan housing. Turning on the oscillation verified that the grease that kept the oscillation mechanism silent had emptied out and now it makes an annoying 'grinding' noise when oscillating. I have attempted to disassemble the outer housing to lubricate the plastic gears, but have not had much success in quieting it back down. The minor problem is that due to the age, the bearings holding the squirrel cage tower are starting to go, causing occasional wobbling sounds when the unit is operating. Most often this can be cured by turning off the fan and turning it back on.

Other than that, it does what it is supposed to do. The price is a little more than I would expect it to cost, being made in China and all, but I have been pleased with it where other floor fans have gummed up with dust and other debris, causing them to fail over the long haul.

What I like about it -

1. The remote is a great feature sometimes I get hot in the middle of the night and it's great to just grab the remote from my nightstand rather than have to get up.

2. The handle on the back makes it easy to move from room to room.

What I don't like about it -

1. It was wobbly when I first assembled it and there is no way to tighten it to make it not wobble.

2. I have no idea what the "night breeze" function is all about it just seems to switch on and off intermittently not sure what it is supposed to be simulating.

Overall, it works pretty well, but as I said in the headline, you get what you pay for it is an inexpensive fan, so don't expect the quality of anything more.

The fan is pretty good. Not too noisy, and puts out good quantities of air. The only reason I rank it 4 instead of 5 is because the 1st fan didn't work...which I wouldn't have minded, except I had sent it as a gift. Oops. 2nd one works perfectly though.

Reliable and functions. Much less expensive than "ionic breeze" or other yuppie products one might get at the S.I. Has three fan settings and is very quiet. Doesn't stir up dust and blow it around like a traditional fan does. Only draw back is that it does not have a filter.
