JNH Lifestyles Ensi+ High-Heat 170°F 2-Person Far Infrared Sauna

1. Heat & research 30% of the rating 2 of 5

   Infrared only. The control goes to 170 °F (about 77 °C), but JNH’s FAQ says air in its cabins typically runs 105 to 140 °F, and infrared has no long-term outcome studies.

2. Materials 25% of the rating 4 of 5

   Species, no plywood, and untreated, unstained wood are stated and the glue is addressed, but the glue and insulation are not named and there is no emissions test.

3. Safety & EMF 20% of the rating 3 of 5

   JNH names its EMF lab, report and distances (0.02 mG seated), but we could not open the report, and the ETL listing names ten room codes while the product page gives none.

4. Trust 10% of the rating 3 of 5

   No recall, Prop 65 notice or warning letter found, but the page address says “zero EMF” while JNH’s own figures run from 0.02 to 0.32 mG, and its copy lists detoxification.

5. Value 15% of the rating 4 of 5

   About $1,000 a seat at JNH’s $1,999 sale price (list $2,999) on a dedicated 15 A outlet with no electrician; Walmart listed the same sauna, sold by JNH, for $2,399 on 2026-10-23.

The rating, 3.1 of 5, is the weighted average of these scores. See how we rank saunas and our standard.

• Walmart (opens in a new tab) approx. $2,399. Sold and shipped by JNH Lifestyles through Walmart’s marketplace, so the maker is the seller. The listing gives the 170 °F setting, eight carbon heaters and the same 47.3 x 39.5 x 75 in size, and shows none of the add-ons (ionizer, floor heaters, longer warranty). It was $500 below JNH’s own page on 2026-10-23. Amazon’s JNH Lifestyles store also lists the Ensi+ (model number HD2-E) at $2,199, but showed it as currently unavailable that day.

1. Canadian hemlock, tongue and groove, “FSC certified” per the maker (we did not check), no plywood, untreated and unstained per the maker
2. “Nonchemical furniture-grade” glue between the slats (not named, not tested)
3. Eight carbon fiber far-infrared heater panels, plus near-infrared emitters named in the warranty
4. Tempered glass door and a dual-wall build (insulation not named)
5. LED lights and Bluetooth speakers; an oxygen ionizer is an optional $99 add-on

• Maker’s own test Vitatech Electromagnetics (EMF, as reported by JNH)

  Report VTE-3155 as summarized on JNH’s EMF page: 0.02 mG at the seated position (18 in), 0.05 to 0.17 mG at 6 in, 0.32 mG at the heater surface near the power supply, meter EHP-50D, 10 Hz to 1 kHz. It tested JNH carbon fiber heater panels, not this exact cabin. The report is not published and shows no date, so we could not check it. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)

• Paid certification Intertek (ETL directory, for JNH International Inc.)

  Lists infrared wooden sauna rooms by code (JNH-01, JNH-12, JNH-02, JNH-3C, JNH-4C, JNH-H2, JNH-03, JNH-04, JNH-H4, JNH-06) to UL 875, with a sister listing to CSA C22.2 No. 164. The Ensi+ page shows no code, and an Amazon listing gives the model number HD2-E, which is not among the ten, so we could not match this cabin. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)

Does it really reach 170 °F?

170 °F is the control’s maximum setting. JNH’s FAQ (opens in a new tab) says its other models stop at 140 °F and that air in its cabins typically runs 105 to 140 °F, so expect it to feel warm rather than like a Finnish sauna at 80 °C.

Is it “zero EMF”?

The web address says zero EMF and the page says ultra-low. JNH’s own figures are not zero: 0.02 mG at the seat and 0.32 mG at the heater surface. The product page says Intertek and Vitatech tested the EMF, while JNH’s EMF page (opens in a new tab) names only Vitatech. We could not open either report.

Does the glue or the wood give off fumes?

JNH says the glue is “nonchemical furniture-grade” and will not off-gas, and that the wood is untreated, unstained, FSC-certified hemlock with no plywood. No emissions test is published, the glue is not named, and we did not check the FSC claim in FSC’s database.

Can infrared panels overheat?

A September 2026 CPSC recall (opens in a new tab) covers about 41,580 Sauna360 infrared saunas whose panels can short-circuit (67 reports, no injuries). It does not name JNH, and CPSC’s database showed no JNH recall on 2026-10-23. The page says its panels have built-in overheating protection and gives no test of it.

How long is the warranty?

Two years on electrical parts and heaters, one year on the glass and wood structure. Three- and five-year total warranties cost $249 and $449. The shorter wood and glass cover is the part to weigh.

• The low-EMF claim comes with detail. JNH names the lab (Vitatech Electromagnetics), the report (VTE-3155), the meter (EHP-50D, 10 Hz to 1 kHz) and the positions, and reports 0.02 mG at the seated position and 0.32 mG at the heater surface.
• It can be set to 170 °F (about 77 °C), closer to the roughly 80 °C of the Finnish studies than the 140 to 149 °F maximum of most infrared cabins.
• The page says what the cabin is made of: Canadian hemlock, no plywood, untreated and unstained, with the glue addressed in the FAQ.
• Intertek’s ETL directory lists JNH’s sauna rooms to UL 875 and CSA C22.2 No. 164, and we found no CPSC recall or Prop 65 notice naming JNH.

• Infrared heats the body with panels and has far less long-term research than a traditional sauna (see our infrared vs traditional page). JNH’s FAQ says the air in its cabins typically runs 105 to 140 °F, so the 170 °F setting may not mean 170 °F air.
• We could not open the Vitatech report, so the EMF figures rest on JNH. The product page quotes 0.32 mG “from the center of the heater”, while JNH’s EMF page puts 0.32 mG at the surface near the power supply.
• The ETL listing names rooms by code and the product page gives none. Ask JNH which code the Ensi+ carries and for the listing.
• JNH’s copy mentions detoxification. Our detox page says metals show up in sweat, but no trial shows a lower body burden.
• Wood and glass are covered for 1 year. Indoor use only. The price was marked clearance on 2026-10-23 and the page showed no regular price; Walmart listed the same sauna, sold by JNH, for $2,399, so compare both before you buy.
