Hi Matt, I can’t find anything on Vital Health Saunas, have you ever tested them? I’m trying to compare this to the Clearlight Pemier and Sanctuary. Thanks

All right, we’ve got a blog comment question here on the certified sauna list.
It says, “Hi Matt, I can’t find anything “on vital health saunas.
“Have you ever tested them?
“Trying to compare this between “Clearlight Premier and Sanctuary Thanks.”
Let me see, let me see, let me see if this is the one that I think it is.
It is.
I’ve never tested a vital health saunas and I probably will never test a vital health saunas unless they wanna send me one.
I’m not gonna buy one and here’s why.
I think I’ve done a video on this before actually because people have asked about these.
There’s two things that turn me off to the vital health saunas right out of the box.
The first thing is the way that they portray EMF.
I talk about this with other companies.
It’s not unique to vital health saunas.
A lot of sauna salespeople do this and this is incorrect, completely incorrect.
Let me pull up the website and I’ll just read it to you ’cause I’ve seen this before but I don’t remember exactly how they state it.
Vital health saunas.
Here we go right here.
So they have a picture of a Trifield 100 XC meter testing the saunas and it reads, I don’t know, something under one milligauss.
That’s just the magnetic fields.
That’s not testing electric fields and I’ll get to that in a second because no sauna that has an outlet plug in it right next to your body is ever going to pass the EMF requirements to be on the certified sauna list.
It’s just not gonna happen.
You’re introducing way too many magnetic and electric fields right next to you by putting an outlet right there for it to ever pass the stringent levels that I’ve set for the guidelines.
But I’ll just read this to you.
And it has in quotes, super low EMF levels.
Vital Ray’s Gen 4 heaters are the newest and most advanced carbon heaters on the market.
They transmit up to five times less EMF than any cell phone.
What’s good, what good is a full spectrum sauna if it’s not safe, right?
I can’t stand this stuff.
Other companies do this to customers all the time.
You call into the call center and other companies will say, you know, the average cell phone has an EMF level of 20.
Our sauna is less than 10.
This is all nonsense.
Just like this statement is completely nonsense.
A cell phone emits RF radiation.
A sauna emits primarily magnetic and electric fields unless it has a smartphone controller, a Bluetooth module or a wifi module in it.
There is no RF radiation emitted by a sauna.
So you’re talking about apples to oranges here.
It’s not even in the same ballpark.
You wouldn’t even use the same EMF meter to measure both things.
If you tried to measure a cell phone with a Gauss meter, which is what you’re using to test the sauna with, it’s going to measure zero because it doesn’t pick up on those frequencies.
So to me, this is not educating the consumer or the public in the correct way.
I think of it as very deceptive, even though there really isn’t anything deceptive about the statement other than it’s just not true.
How can you say something is five times less than any cell phone when it’s not even the same type of emission?
So if there’s something that you can’t even measure with the same type of tool or meter, how would you say that it’s five times less?
Because you’re comparing two things.
That’s like, I don’t even know how I would create an analogy of that for you to understand, but it just doesn’t make any sense at all.
And I don’t like sauna companies that do that.
I feel like most customers talk to call centers and they’re just trying to push, push, push, buy today before the price goes up.
We’re having a sale, dah, dah, dah, dah, just trying to get the order, right?
And people ask about EMF because they want it to be safe and they want the build quality to be good and they want the warranty to be good and they want it to be reliable.
And they just want a sauna that’s good enough to give them the detoxing sweat that they need to improve their health or keep their life on track or whatever without paying an absorbent amount of more money than they need to, right?
And so they start asking about the safety and the EMF.
Is it okay to put the kids in?
And these people just gloss over the idea and tell them whatever will make the sale that day.
But nine times out of 10, I get calls and emails from people that have bought a sauna like a week or two later and they’re second guessing it or they’re worried about it or they’re like, you know, that just didn’t make sense or it doesn’t feel right or I bought it anyway ’cause I felt pressured and dah, dah, dah, what do you think about this?
So I think that it’s inappropriate, rude and flat out wrong to misinform people with bad information.
And so anytime stuff like this comes up, I usually get all pissed off and I shout obscenities and I’m just like, ah, you know, I kind of freak out.
It’s because it just happens over and over and over, right?
And it doesn’t take any more effort.
Let me tell you this.
It does not take any more effort to put out a good product versus a subpar product.
The same way it doesn’t take any more effort to educate people the right way on EMFs versus the wrong way and just schmooze things over.
How I know this is because there’s nothing special about me.
It takes the same amount of time for me to make this video and tell you about EMF in saunas the right way versus, you know, compared to the wrong way.
It’s the same amount of time.
I’m gonna be sitting in front of this stupid camera, right?
Because it’s just me in a room.
Do you know how old this gets?
These questions come in time and time every day, week after week, month after month.
It’s the same stuff and it’s being perpetuated by sauna companies and sauna salespeople that do not have experience with the saunas that they’re talking about, right?
And so I have to sit here in a room by myself talking to a lens to make it right.
You know what I’m saying?
So it gets frustrating.
That’s why I get mad.
That’s why people complain about the profanity.
I kind of have it under control today.
It’s not really bothering me that much.
But at the same time, misinformation or poor information where it’s not even in the right strat, it’s not even the same stratosphere of what’s true drives me nuts.
It’s crazy.
So second thing is you cannot put a 120 volt receptacle right next to yourself in a sauna and expect it to have low body voltage.
It’s just not gonna happen.
Unless you’re using a Moo Cord or Moo Cable, unless the step-down transformer is, I’m sorry, not step-down transformer.
Unless the sauna has really been tweaked and gone through, you’re not gonna have low magnetic fields, low electric fields, low body voltage and something like that.
If you did, they would be touting it to hell, they would be praising it like crazy on the sales page.
You know what I’m saying?
Because that would be a huge selling point.
I don’t see any of that.
So what is this?
Vital Health Saunas.
And the price is exactly the same.
I mean, a one person Vital Health is $3,095.
Clearlight Premier IS-1 is $3,020 or something.
They’re the same damn price.
Except you can go watch my video.
We tested the Clearlight Premier IS-1.
Anyway, it’s got low electric fields, low body voltage, low magnetic fields.
You can see for yourself on live video, not with just a tri-field meter.
And there is no nonsense about cell phones and comparing that to the EMF emissions of the sauna.
And there damn sure isn’t any electrical outlets in the sauna next to the bench where you sit.
I don’t know who thought that would be a good idea, but I think it’s a terrible idea.
Again, this is just my opinion.
I have not tested a Vital Health sauna myself.
I’m not gonna buy one.
But I don’t know if they’re running some type of paid advertising campaign or what, but people keep commenting on the blog.
I don’t know if it’s spam.
I don’t know what, but everyone keeps asking about these.
So needed to make a video about it so I don’t have to keep typing the same email.
I also generally do not like saunas with buckles.
When you have a sauna with buckles on the back two walls, you cannot put it together next to a corner or a wall.
I don’t know if this is the case with the Vital Health stuff or not.
It doesn’t matter.
What I’m telling you is when you have a sauna and you’re facing the front of it, if the back two walls have buckles on it, you can’t assemble the sauna in the corner of a room because you can’t reach your arms back there to fasten them.
It’s a huge pain.
You would never know this unless you put together 12 or 15 saunas like I have.
Go watch some of my sauna reviews.
It’s just me cussing in a room because you can’t get the sauna together without assembling it in the center of the room and then trying to slide it on carpet to position it in the corner of the room.
It’s always fun.
But anyway, it’s these fun facts that you never figure out until either you talk to somebody who has tested a bunch of these things or you listen to some of this stuff or you figure it out for yourself the hard way by buying the wrong thing and being unhappy.
So it would be my opinion that if you’re trying to compare a Vital Health sauna to a Clearlight sauna, there really wouldn’t be a comparison.
Clearlight sauna is gonna have EMFs mitigated on all fronts, magnetic, low electric, low body voltage.
But you might also like a different brand on the certified sauna list.
Google the list of certified saunas.
You can use my coupon code.
It’s mattjustice-500.
It’ll get you $500 off any sauna that you like.
I can’t tell you what to do.
All I can tell you is my opinion.
At the end of the day, pick the brand that’s best for you.
Don’t buy into any of this bullshit like buy now before the price goes up, some kind of fake sale, whatever, whatever.
Do your due diligence.
Find the sauna that’s right for you.
If you have other questions, I can help you.
But by all means, watch some of my older reviews and some of my other videos.
The Consumer Reports scam stuff is in there, so watch out for that.
We’ll see you in tomorrow’s video.
