Wonderful sauna

I got this last week. It was very easy to assemble. It does take 2 people as it is heavy and one needs to hold the walls while another affixes them. I have used it once so far. It took about 35-40 minutes to heat up. Bluetooth connected to my iPhone very easily and it was fantastic. I got good heat and sweated a LOT! Felt great. I was skeptical because it only had two reviews, but decided to get it anyway. So glad I did. So far anyway.

Great purchase

I purchased then 2 person Ryan a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it . We go in after a work out and sleep like a baby . I'm recovering from hip surgery and my acupuncturist recommended I detox from the anaesthetic and relax the muscles with an infrared sauna . Some of the reviews complain that it only gets to 130 degrees but that's all you need for infrared . It works differently than a Swedish sauna . I'm so happy with mine .

Stay Away! You Have Been Warned!

If I could give Sam's AND Backyard Discovery negative stars, I would. We ordered the 2 person sauna in mid February and noticed it arrived in Columbus, Ohio, 2 hours from my home, on February 25th. We still have not received it nor will anyone call me regarding this order. Do not buy this item from Sam's or Backyard Discovery, go with a Dynamic Barcelona or Maxxus Seattle from another vendor.

Our New Daily Routine!

Its been about a month now and no regrets here with our Rylan Infrared Sauna purchase. Super easy to put together, well made, and that cedar smell is nothing short of amazing. 20 minutes at night for me and 20 minutes in the morning for my Husband has been become our daily routine. We have been especially enjoying the benefits of the red light therapy and have been feeling amazing. We have ours set up in our bathroom; heats up pretty quickly and is well insulated. The panel allows you to set the heat up to 150; ours once in has gotten up to 155 the highest so far!

Great sauna for the cost

Have had this sauna about one month. We did a lot of research and this was the best for the cost, that we could find. Love the infrared, and the lack of humidity to contend with. It takes about 20 minutes to get to temp, and we find that a 30-40 minute session gets us a nice sweat in. I like the bluetooth audio feature for listening to podcasts or spa-type music. It does randomly shut off once in a while - but can be turned back on with no other shut downs... that may be a "dedicated breaker" issue, so consider that when you place it.

Great quality

⸻ I absolutely love my indoor sauna with red light therapy—it’s honestly one of the best investments I’ve made for my health and relaxation. The sauna heats up quickly and maintains a consistent, comfortable temperature that helps me fully unwind after a long day. The red light therapy is a game changer. I’ve noticed improvements in my muscle recovery, skin, and overall energy levels. It adds an extra layer of wellness that makes each session feel even more beneficial. I also appreciate how easy it is to use and maintain. The setup was straightforward, and the design fits perfectly in my space without feeling bulky. It’s become part of my daily routine and something I genuinely look forward to. If you’re considering an at-home sauna, I highly recommend one with red light therapy—it’s relaxing, rejuvenating, and totally worth it.

Rylan Two-Personal Infrared Sauna

I have only used the sauna (no music, no lights) and it has been amazing! It takes well over an hour to reach 140 degrees but as long as I remember to turn it on while I work out it’s not a problem. I looked at a lot of different saunas and kept coming back to the Rylan 2 person sauna and I’m so happy I bought it. I use it at least three times a week and would love to be able to get in there even more! It’s well worth the investment. Company is great.

The best sauna you can buy!

I’ve used a lot of recovery tools over the years between owning a gym, training hard, golfing, and juggling a pretty full schedule, and I can honestly say this Backyard Discovery 2 person infrared sauna has blown me away. The first thing you notice is the build quality. This is not a flimsy, heat leaking box like some infrared saunas I’ve tried before. The thicker solid cedar, double wall construction, and the heavy tempered glass door make a real difference. It heats up fast, holds temperature consistently, and there are no cold spots. You feel enveloped in heat instead of chasing it. The extra infrared panels absolutely matter, you can tell this thing was designed for performance, not just looks. Assembly was shockingly easy. Everything arrived pre built, pre drilled, pre wired, and clearly labeled. It went together cleanly and quickly without frustration, which I appreciated more than I expected. If you can handle basic furniture assembly, you can handle this. The extras are where it really shines. The integrated red light therapy has become part of my regular recovery routine, especially after hard training days or long rounds of golf. The chromotherapy lighting adds a calm, almost meditative feel, and the Bluetooth speakers make it easy to throw on music, a podcast, or a guided breathing session. It turns recovery into something I genuinely look forward to instead of something I feel like I should do. What really gives me confidence long term is knowing the entire sauna is backed by a comprehensive five year warranty. It reinforces that this was built to last and that the company stands behind the product, which matters when something becomes part of your daily routine. Bottom line, this sauna delivers on everything it promises. Better construction really does equal better performance. I’m honestly amazed at how good this sauna is, and it’s quickly become a non negotiable part of my recovery and health routine.

We are happy with our purchase.

We are very happy with our sauna - it takes about 40 minutes to heat up to 140 degrees, so we turn it on before we do weights and it is ready when we are ready. It really is more a one person sauna - I would not want to be in it with another person and I wish it was just 6 inches wider because then I could lay on my back with my legs up - that's why I didn't give 5 stars... I just want a little more space. The Bluetooth speakers are great - you can listen to music or mediation while recovering. Also worth noting, my husband set it up in about an hour with me helping just twice on the larger sides.

We love it!

It seems to be well made, and looks great in our space. We love the red light feature and the bluetooth speakers. The only thing missing we wish it maybe had is an app to turn it on, but that isn't really needed. We have no complaints at all! Love it!
