8000 Reserve 4-Person Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna

• Heater configuration: Documented by Golden Designs as 6 + 3 — 9 heating elements in total
• Heating technology: PureTech™ full spectrum
• Wavelengths: Golden Designs states the panels use near, mid and far infrared wavelengths to deliver full spectrum heat while maintaining a near zero EMF standard
• Floor heater: Included
• Rated power: 2,700 watts
• Capacity: 4 person

What full spectrum means here: a far infrared-only cabin emits a single band. A full spectrum cabin adds near and mid infrared — near infrared is absorbed closer to the skin surface and warms the cabin faster, far infrared penetrates further and provides sustained background heat. Golden Designs publishes the 6 + 3 configuration but does not publish which count corresponds to which band, so Wellari does not state a near/far split for this model.

Golden Designs classifies the 8000 Reserve full spectrum range as Near Zero EMF.

Why we do not publish a number. Golden Designs' current V26.0 documentation, all issued on the same date, states different Near Zero EMF measurement figures for its full spectrum range in different documents — the model-family sheet, the full spectrum sheet and the dealer workbook do not agree with one another. Because those figures conflict, Wellari publishes the manufacturer's classification and does not quote a milligauss value for this model until Golden Designs reconciles them.

If a specific measured EMF figure is a decision criterion for you, contact us and we will request it from Golden Designs in writing.

When comparing sauna models generally, always compare the stated figure together with the distance at which it was measured. A lower number taken further from the panel is not necessarily a lower-emission cabin.

• Rated power: 2,700 watts
• Electrical service: Two separate 120V / 15A non-GFCI outlets
• Configuration: Two dedicated circuits — a single 20-amp circuit is not sufficient for this model
• Installation environment: Indoor use only
• Designated use: Residential

Two circuits means two independent runs from the panel. At 2,700 watts the cabin exceeds what one household circuit can carry, so Golden Designs specifies two separate 15-amp circuits, each with its own breaker and outlet, and specifies non-GFCI outlets. Two receptacles wired to the same breaker will not satisfy this.

Have a qualified electrician confirm that two separate dedicated circuits can be run to the installation point before you order. This is the most common cause of delay between delivery and first use, and running a second circuit is far more disruptive once a 4-person cabin is assembled against the wall.

• Himalayan salt: Integrated Himalayan salt bar
• Wood: 100% reforested Canadian Hemlock Fir
• Colour: Natural
• Glass: Bronze-tinted tempered glass door
• Assembly: Clasp-together panel construction; Golden Designs states the cabin is assembled by two adults
• Country of manufacture: China

The salt bar is a Reserve-series feature fitted across the range. Capacity, footprint, heater count and electrical service are what actually differ between Reserve models.

• Control panel: Touch-screen control panel
• Radio: FM station, integrated into the touch-screen panel
• Audio: Bluetooth connectivity
• Auxiliary audio: MP3 auxiliary connection
• Chromotherapy: Oversize colour therapy lighting with red light
• Exterior lighting: Exterior accent lighting

The oversize colour therapy system is fitted to the larger Reserve cabins — GDI-8030-03 and above. The two smallest models use the standard-size system.

• Exterior dimensions: 70″ W × 41″ D × 75″ H
• Roof overhang: Adds approximately 5″ to the depth
• Capacity: 4 person
• Assembled weight: Approximately 475 lb

Wide but shallow. At 70″ wide and 41″ deep this cabin needs a long wall rather than a deep alcove — it is nearly a foot wider than the 3-person GDI-8230-01 but 9″ shallower. Allow approximately 5″ beyond the 41″ body depth for the roof overhang.

Measure the full delivery path as well as the installation area: doorways, hallways, stair turns and tight corners. At approximately 475 lb assembled the cabin is not practical to reposition once built, so decide the final location before assembly begins.

• Freight method: LTL freight
• Delivery: Curbside only, on a pallet, by a freight carrier
• Cartons: 3 cartons on 1 pallet
• Shipping weight: Approximately 560 lb
• Assembly: Clasp-together panel construction, assembled by two adults

Plan for curbside delivery. The carrier brings the pallet to the curb and does not move it into the home. With 3 cartons totalling approximately 560 lb, arrange at least two people and ideally an appliance dolly to move them from the curb, and confirm a freight vehicle can reach your address before ordering.

Warranty terms, coverage and claim procedures are set by the manufacturer and may vary by component. Review the manufacturer's current warranty documentation for the terms that apply to your unit, and keep your purchase documentation for future support reference.

Natural wood notice: Grain, tone, knots and other natural characteristics vary between individual cabins and may differ slightly from product photography. This is normal for solid Hemlock Fir and is not a defect.

Usage: This sauna is intended for indoor residential use. Place it on a level, solid floor and operate it according to the manufacturer's instructions and electrical requirements.

Hydration and comfort: Stay appropriately hydrated, and leave the sauna immediately if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, uncomfortable or otherwise unwell.
