The prior owners had purchased it new a year earlier for just over $5000 with the optional 'starlight' ceiling, in addition to the standard CD stereo, reading light, backrest, 20 amp outlet and towel set . I purchased it used for less than 1/2 of the original price. This is a very well built unit. It went together flawlessly, heats up easily, is clearly build to last with excellent attention to detail. The 'starlight' ceiling option is relaxing -- little pinpoints of light that range through colors red, green, blue, white in a pattern, or you can leave them at one color. There is also a reading light inside if you prefer to read. The heaters work well. The 3 person unit needs a 20 amp outlet (wired for 20 amp service). Mine is set up in the garage and I live in Wisconsin where it is cold in winter. Hence, it can take an hour to heat up to 150 degrees. The unit can be set for temperatures up to 170 degrees. The inside bench is just under 5 foot long which allows one person to stretch out on it with your knees up, or to lean against the side wall with your legs out in front of you, which I enjoy more than the 2 person models. The back rest goes against the side wall, where it does not interfere with a heater, rather than the back wall which contains two heaters. The whole unit contains a total of 5 heaters. The stereo radio works very well as does the CD player. The control panel is well designed, with the exception of the reserve feature which only allows a preset heating time of 30 minutes (that would be fine if you had the unit in the house, but it is not long enough for an outdoor warmup in the winter months in a cold climate. You can set the preheat time for normal use for up to one hour, but the reserve feature only allows a preset 1/2 hour warmup time. I have a bad hip, and this unit has been excellent for easing stiffness and pain. I use it almost every night. I would recommend this unit, although the price for the used unit was certainly more affordable than a new unit would be. I recently bought a used Healthmate sauna NSE-3.

I used to own a 2 person healthmate sauna but sold it to buy a hot tub - which I regret to this day! Anyways - I am now in the market to buy a 3 person healthmate sauna. I would love to be able to get a deal like Michelle got according to her posting. I live in Ontario, Canada and if anyone knows of a 3 person healthmate sauna for sale that is in like new condition for a good price - please contact me. I would be willing to pay for shipping if the price was right. Thanks Paul. Jackie Hi Paul. I used to own a 2 person healthmate sauna but sold it to buy a hot tub - which I regret to this day!
