We Tested an At-Home Infrared Sauna to See If It's Worth the Hype

AOL spent two months evaluating a popular at-home infrared sauna (Make Life Easy EZ Life 1-2 Person) to see if the hype stacks up. Infrared saunas heat the body more directly at lower air temps (vs Finnish saunas) and can offer cardiovascular, brain, and stress‑reduction benefits when used regularly (roughly 2–4 sessions/week, 10–20 minutes). The unit is easy to assemble, runs on standard 120V, and fits two people, but delivery is freight-only, there’s no backrest, and the claimed red-light therapy isn’t medical‑grade. Prices hover around $3,000, with a potential 30% restocking fee for returns. Overall, it’s arguably worth it if you’ll use it consistently, but it’s not a guaranteed wellness shortcut for every buyer.
