    Status:
    Answered
    The business sold a product/feature they knew didn't work correctly. The description of the product reads: "The state of the art digital sauna control works in concert with our sleek tablet/smartphone app to gives you the ability to control your sauna remotely."-- iOS/Android Smartphone Control, is still the first bullet point in the unique features list of the sauna on their website.However, despite their marketing, the feature does not work. They have been promising a solution for nearly a year and still no official remedy in place. This lack of this functionality is massively reducing my satisfaction and overall experience with my purchase. I feel this business is falsely advertising their product and misleading customers. If I had know the feature did not work, I would have purchased from a different company.

    Unless you want to put up a ton of money to wait around for a minimum of 4 or 5 months shop anywhere else.I wish I would of looked here before placing my order as I'm far from the 1st person to find out that when you order they will just hold your money indefinitely with little to no concern or effort to get an inventory.After 4 months they say there still not in ************ looked into the other types of wood and there totally out of stock with all them too. Not sure why they even advertise as why would you want to annoy more people by holding there money up when you can't even keep up with the back ordered items.In my neighborhood many people have been waiting to see this imaginary sauna.....so instead of losing a sale for 1 person, now a entire neighborhood will be hearing about the ClearLight Treatment.In about 4 weeks I'll be getting my Radiant Sauna as they assured me they have inventory all located in the ******************* .So if I would of just went thru them to begin with I would of had a sauna months ago.......I think by law any company that takes your money and sits on it with no ambition to deliver a good should give you INTEREST back when you had your fill. I would of had about ****** dollars in interest has I left it in my own bank.Its so interesting that I write them a one star review and within 30 mins they had their public relations write back trying to play damage control......why hire a team to surf the internet all day when you could be paying people to build these saunas to sell? Seems to me in my opinion their efforts to persuade the public's perception of being a quality company is more important than building the products to have in stock to sale!

    Hi ****, we are very sorry you feel that way and can understand your frustration of waiting for the sauna model you chose to arrive and then get a delay on it. We actually give everyone the choice of paying a fully refundable deposit or if you pay in full for an out of stock sauna you get an extra discount. That is still fully refundable if you cancel your order. We never ask anyone to pay in full unless they want the extra discount. We do have many different sauna models in stock and we always tell customers an estimated time of arrival for out of stock saunas. Unfortunately, delays do still happen and it is as frustrating to us as it is for our customers. We always do everything we can to ensure our customers are happy and are updated with any delays as we hear about them. I hope your enjoy your Radiant Sauna, at the end of the day we just want everyone to get the benefits of infrared therapy and be healthy.
