Game changer! I’m 1.98 m and fit super comfortably. I use the IcePod every day and only need to add ice every 3–4 days as the water stays super cold even in the summer.
Came with the new 2000 Watt heater. Currently using in ambient temps of 5C. It reaches 85C / 185F but I had to place a heavy blanket on top and a mat on the cold floor tiles to hit this. Overall, it's great and really enjoying it. Highly recommended.
My only suggestion to the Pod Company is to release a dedicated insulation cover for the top as it clearly needs this and it would be a neater solution. Also consider making the window smaller and/or having a fabric window cover that can be closed as that is the other point where it loses heat.
The sauna pod is super easy to put up and down. It heats up super fast (faster than a regular sauna). I thought I’d feel claustrophobic in it but it is super comfortable and there’s plenty of space for one person. The chair is also super comfortable and easy to wash.
From ordering, delivery, set-up and follow up customer service our Sauna Pod experience has been AMAZING! Set up took us about 20 minutes and we were able to use it right away! The temperature gets hot and within 10 minutes of my preferred temperature I am sweating and feeling better. I sleep better and feel less bloated/inflamed. Highly recommend!
The sauna arrived in 3 days. I put it in the bathroom where the temperature is around 22 degrees Celcius. It heats up super fast: in less then 10 minutes reaches 70 degrees and in 15 minutes 80 degrees Celsius. We love it!
The Pod is really simple to assemble and it arrived very quick. The materials are quite OK and easy to maintain. We've been using it 3-4 times a week and it reaches temperatures of 80-82 degrees Celsius which is OK, in about 20-30 minutes. I only wish it would be about 10cm taller. Other than that I can't complain.
It was a bit strange having it set up in my living room, but health comes 1st! After using it for a week, I really notice the benefits. I’ve only managed to get up to 20 mins so I love that it’s a process to build up your time. The best experience for me is after a workout. I take a shower before I take the sauna as I feel it’s more enjoyable, then a cool shower afterwards. I feel a million dollars! I am sending it to family members and friends that I know will benefit from it. 🫶
Astăzi am primit Sauna Pod - 01.2026
Prima impresie a fost foarte bună, toate componentele sunt atent ambalate. A fost o surpriza tare plăcută.
Montajul este relativ simplu, se poate realiza de către o singura persoană în 30-40 de minute. Ar fi de preferat sa te ajute cineva când montezi / așezi husa peste cadru. Este destul de fixa. Atentie când montezi pilonii sa verifici ca pilonul pentru încălzitor e așezat corect (cu săgeată în sus). De altfel e greu sa le montezi greșit.
Banda led deși are doar rol decorativ (nu e cromoterapie) arata foarte bine. E posibil ca atunci când o montezi sa ai nevoie de niște prinderi suplimentare fata de cele deja existente.
Am setat 85 grade Celsius și 60 de minute. Am întrat după vreo 15 minute și deja era ok. Am verificat cam după 30 de minute și temperatura în interior în partea de sus era într-adevăr 85 de grade Celsius. Temperatura exterioara era de 10 grade Celsius (în garaj unde am montat sauna).
După 60 de minute aeroterma s-a oprit și temperatura a scăzut treptat. După 15 minute încă erau 50 de grade Celsius.
Câteva observații:
- Aeroterma, deși este fierbinte o poti atinge în părțile laterale;
- E bine sa te poziționezi cu aeroterma "între picioare" altfel ai senzația mereu ca te vei atinge de ea. Ideea e ca după ce închizi ușa poți sa repoziționează scaunul, astfel încât să ai aeroterma în fata.
- Atentie va totul se încinge înăuntru. Inclusiv banda led. Dacă vrei să o repoziționezi sau sa o miști riști sa te arzi la degete. La fel și cu termometru. Are cadru de metal și frige.
- Când montezi banda led ești tentat sa o montezi cu cablul de alimentare pe direcția aerotermei. Atentie ca se încălzește foarte tare firul de alimentare și în timp e posibil sa cedeze. Poți sa poziționezi cablul de alimentare la banda led mai în lateral, fata de aeroterma.
- Se aduna apa (transpirație) jos. Poți sa pui un prosop sau sa ștergi la final.
Concluzii:
Una peste alta, am făcut cam doua sesiuni de 25 de minute cu o pauza. Nu s-a răcit foarte tare când am ieșit/întrat.
Prima experiență a fost foarte ok.
Later edit:
Deja am făcut 5 sesiuni. Totul este excelent si senzația e apropiata de sauna uscata finlandeza.
Am achiziționat suplimentar un scaun de lemn, înalt (scaun de bar) si temperatura se simte mai puternic la înălțime.
Sunt foarte mulțumit de achiziție. Mă gândesc destul de serios sa iau si un Ice pod Kiler
For me it's a dream come true, having a sauna inside my apartment. It doesn't take much space and I can use it any time I want.
In terms of quality, the sauna is pretty solid. It warms up pretty well. When set to 85 degrees Celsius, the inside thermometer shows it reaches that temperature, although, that seems to only be in the upper part of the sauna, but the middle part is warm enough.
What I would improve in a future version would be having the floor also made from insulated material, as the floor is cold now, and that can be felt in the lower part. Right now I am using a folded thick towel on the floor, but the feet don't warm up as well as the upper part of the body.
All in all, it's a great product and I enjoy it almost every day!
Desde que me llegó, tanto yo como mi mujer la estamos disfrutando TODOS los días. Funciona muy bien, se calienta enseguida ya que esta muy bien aislada y no ocupa mucho espacio, aunque una vez estando dentro, la sensación de amplitud y espacio es real.
La mejor compra que he hecho en mucho tiempo!!
Ho aspettato di fare una decina di saune prima di dare il mio parere. Che dire... il miglior acquisto dell'anno a mani basse:
Assemblaggio facile.
Nessuna necessità di fare impianti elettrici dedicati (a differenza delle saune classiche).
Percezione dei materiali di qualità.
Benefici nell'uso regolare altissimi, specialmente con una doccia fredda a seguire.
In definitiva mi sento di consigliarla.
Consigli: Mettete un'asciugamano sia sulla poltrona, che sul pavimento della sauna, così evitate di fare dei laghi di sudore. Se vi portate in sauna il telefono tenetelo sul pavimento, così non si surriscalda.
I love it!
I assembled it myself which was simple. It is easy to move around. I have it on my balcony with a view of the Swiss alps! It heats up pretty quickly and delivers good heat so one can get a good sweat. It’s a truly remarkable piece of kit…..I would definitely recommend it to friends.
Just got my Sauna Pod from The Pod Company and I’m honestly impressed. Heats up fast, super comfortable, and feels like having a mini spa at home. Couldn’t be happier!
Just bought my Ice Pod from The Pod Company and I’m super happy with it! Easy to set up, great build quality, and the cold holds perfectly. Exactly what I was hoping for!
The assembly took longer than expected because the fabric needed to be stretched out but after that everything was smooth and nice. it is wonderful to be able to do heat and cold therapy in my own house.
Just couldn't be happier with my purchase.. it gets seriously toasty in there for sure. What a great way to start my day.. jump in there first thing at 5a followed by my Peloton class and finish off by jumping in my cold immersion tub at a reasonable 50 degrees for 5 minutes... Leave my mancave around 7a ready to tackle what the day brings full of gratitude and appreciation for the opportunity to start my day this way... Just AWESOME!!!
Works great!! The material looks and feels tough and the heater did its job perfectly. Love that it’s a dry sauna instead of an infrared or steam (obviously the reason why I went with the Pod Company). The only minor issue has been that the LED magnetic strip stopped working (and it certainly doesn’t stay very well, even with the four plastic clips). I contacted the company and I’m sure it’ll be resolved quickly with a replacement. The important thing is that the sauna functions exactly as described and I look forward to many sessions, sweatin’ it out!
The set up instructions could have been more detailed, which led to some confusion, but once it was set up, it worked great. It has kept my Pod at a steady 41 degrees.
This cover keeps the cold plunge 5-10 degrees colder than without it, even during HOT summer days. I love it because I can plunge during the day when its hottest for an intense cooldown to keep me from feeling the effects of summer too much.
Cold water immersion is hands down one of the best things you can do for your mental and physical health.

Stress / Anxiety Relief
Cold water therapy has been shown to decrease the stress hormone cortisol. This study found that regular ice baths helped massively reduce anxiety and improve the mood of participants.
Recovery / Performance
Cold plunge benefits extend beyond the mental and chemical aspects of your body. Sports medicine has utilized cold water therapy for years to help with the active recovery of your muscles.
Elevated Energy
If you're looking to kickstart your morning or need an afternoon pick-me-up, cold plunging is an incredible way to boost your daily energy. Not only is the icy water rejuvenating, but it also triggers the release of healthy stress hormones that promote alertness. A 2 minute ice bath feels like drinking 5 cups of coffee (just without the jitters).
Better Sleep
When you dip into an ice bath, your body triggers the autonomic nervous system - the system that controls your response to stress.
When you begin to control your response to stress, you'll likely find that you begin to control your relaxation and sleep.
In short it improves sleep by lowering body temperature, reducing stress hormones, boosting mood-enhancing neurotransmitters, and activating the relaxation-focused parasympathetic nervous system.
Boosted Mood
Researchers have known for a while that plunging connects to our daily energy. In particular, there is lots of evidence that hormone imbalance can contribute to depression, meaning that a cold plunge might help to reduce depression and improve overall mood.
The release of dopamine in the brain during ice baths also further gives you that "happy" feeling which lasts for hours. Additionally, ice baths raises your baseline dopamine levels, so you're likely to experience elevated mood in your day to day.
Stress Relief
Cold water therapy has been shown to be an effective supplemental treatment for stress relief by decreasing the stress hormone cortisol. This study found that regular cold showers and ice baths helped reduce anxiety and improve the mood of participants.
Pain Relief
Consistent ice baths have been shown to generate up to 5x the baseline amount of hormones and neurotransmitters found in the body and brain that alleviate stress. This neurotransmitter can dramatically reduce inflammation and help with chronic pain.
Weight Loss
Cold water immersion also activates brown fat — tissue that helps keep the body warm and helps it control blood sugar and insulin levels. It also helps the body burn calories, which has lead to studies showing significant evidence that cold water immersion is an effective way to lose weight and burn calories.
