CryoSauna Buying Guide
The coldest (peak) temperatures that a cryosauna can reach can be very misleading. I am concerned with the constant temperature. A second session will always be colder. Just like a steam room on the first session when the walls are not hot yet. The steam condenses on the walls instead of staying in the air.
Most of the Cryosaunas out there do not have even distribution even though they claim they do. Maybe just a few seconds before the saturation point. It is hard for people to really know what they are buying until they have compared different brands.
Some cryosaunas are regulated while others aren't. The UL listed ones usually have a different type of nitrogen valve control type system and consume less nitrogen. Some cryosaunas to get to the same constant temperature consume 1.3 liters per minute while others consume closer to 1 liter per minute. A lower fluence cryosauna will use up less nitrogen but is perfectly fine if the nitrogen is evenly distributed. I only recommend higher fluence types if I know the nitrogen will not at any time blow at the body.
Note: I urge people to ask about the type of nitrogen direction the cryosauna has. The ones that go down to the ultra low temperatures must have this whirlpooling movement especially when they release more than 1.3 liters or more per minute.
Note: Most cryosaunas go down to -220 degrees. UL listed ones can go down to -280 degrees.
Cryosauna types:
The early generation types do not have the whirlpooling vortex type nitrogen output. If you go into one and it feels much colder by the feet it does not have the latest generation type output. Nitrogen naturally goes to the bottom as it is heavier than air.
Safety features to look out for:
Dual cut offs: The older generation types only had one cut off. The newer types have a cut off switch so that if the person in the cryo sauna wants to turn it off they can.
Security: Newer types have password restricted access. You can't turn these on like the earlier ones. The earlier ones had not restrictions. Managers after the clinic closed would get tips to let people go in so they could pocket the money. Many clinic owners complained about how they were losing money and soon after this feature was added.
15 vs 20 amp cryosaunas: a 20 amp type is always going to be more powerful and use more current to do what a 15 amp model is not capable of. The 20 amps are capable of having the whirlpooling vortex and a more even flow. They can also lift heaver people (up to 400 pounds). 20 amp models are much more expensive than the 15 amp models.
Under rim protection sensors: Some people get so cold that they fall sometimes. A feature to look for is when the head falls below the cryosauna top rim for a few seconds, they have monitor sensors that will instantly open up the door and release all nitrogen vapor. This feature is not on the earlier generation types.
