The Equinox 2 is the infrared cabin we'd buy first. It heats strongly, plugs into a 120V outlet, and Sun Home publishes more EMF and air-quality testing than most rivals. You pay for it, and the warranty is good rather than exceptional.

Heaters and heat
Four far-infrared heaters do most of the work, with two full-spectrum heaters adding near- and mid-infrared wavelengths. Total draw is 1,880 watts.
Power and setup
It needs a dedicated 120V, 20A circuit and plugs in rather than being hard-wired. Many homes have 15A circuits, so check before ordering; adding a 20A circuit is a routine electrician job.
EMF and air quality
Sun Home publishes third-party EMF and VOC testing. An earlier Equinox measured 0.5 mG at seated distance in Vitatech testing. Sun Home notes that its current data comes from representative samples rather than each model, so read it as indicative.
Warranty
Seven years on cabinetry and heaters, three years on controls, one year on glass and audio.
This review is based on Sun Home's published specifications, retailer listings, independent testing where available and owner reports, compared against the other saunas we track. We'll add hands-on notes as our testing progresses.

Does the Equinox 2 need an electrician?
