Trans-portable Compact Saunas...
...mobile, but not portable

Compromise means not having the biggest and the best. But when it come to saunas that might be just what the doctor ordered!

There's a 'middle tier' of sauna that everyone should consider when buying a sauna. But when a person starts to research saunas the confusing world of terminology can get too much to handle.

Let's set the record straight.

 About Us

In another article we touched on the common phrases, or marketing descriptions, but to help make things easy they will be repeated here, but with more detail.

Technically, it's correct when a manufacturer or retail outlet state the compact capsule style saunas are portable, but please be aware of the true meaning of portable.

Portable Sauna
These are terrific, because they are truly portable. Generally, any portable sauna is able to be assembled or folded away into a very small parcel and stored away, or even taken on holidays. Be aware that some 'portable' saunas made from fiberglass type materials that be classed as portable. Though they are compact, in reality they are only trans-portable.

Transportable Compact Sauna
Also known as capsules or mobiles, these should not be confused with portable saunas. A simple example is: 
A home could be 'transported' from one location to another, but you certainly would not call it 'portable'.

Meaning, when reading information about a home sauna be sure not to confuse portable with transportable. Be aware that some ' portable' saunas made from fiberglass type materials, even timber, can be classed as portable but in reality they are only 'compact', and not truly portable.

But the fact that they are compact is what draws some people to this style of sauna. They are more robust and stable than the portable sauna, but not as large or as permanent as a normal sauna. Of course, you can't fit the family in it, but for a lot of people this is not a concern.

Quality of these saunas is what stands out, but that also means they are a little more expensive than the fold-away portable sauna...but are clearly not as costly as the complete saunas.

Don't be deceived by their size, the health benefits are just as effective as larger saunas.  The only downside is that your head needs to be kept out of the unit.

Though the vast majority come with temperature and time controls be sure to check before you buy.

As seen below both steam, and heater, styles are available.
