Home EMF and ELF Safety
Bedrooms need documented low EMF — how to read home seated tests
All powered home saunas emit electric + magnetic fields. For home bedrooms adjoining kids' rooms, demand seated-position magnetic-field readings (in mG) plus ETL/UL listing — empty-cabin numbers understate home exposure.[1] Brand-to-brand spread is enormous — independent buyer's guides report EMF varying 100–500× between sauna brands, with typical imported heaters at 20–100 mG versus engineered low-EMF designs under 0.2 mG at the seated position.[3]
| Home tier | Seated mG | Home meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Best home (shielded system) | ~0.20 mG avg (SaunaCloud home stated) | ~20× lower than budget home imports |
| Good home | <3 mG seated | Accepted low-EMF home threshold |
| Budget home import | 5–100 mG mfr-stated | Avoid for nightly bedroom home use |
Home verification: ask for seated photo with meter at bench + ETL label photo + wiring/shielding explanation. See verification checklist.
