Choose a home sauna by its heating system, exact model specifications and installation requirements. The MAJUS HF1 listing describes a 1-person infrared cabin rated at 1,350W and 120V, with 7 graphene heating plates and a listed maximum of 150°F. The MAJUS HY8 listing describes a 2-person traditional cabin with a 3kW heater, 240V supply and a listed maximum of 90°C. These are two specific models, not universal specifications for every infrared or traditional sauna.
1. Compare the heating systems and listed specifications
An infrared cabin uses heating panels; the traditional model compared here uses an electric heater and stones. Start with the experience you want, then check whether the particular cabin is practical for your home. A higher listed temperature does not establish a better product for every buyer.

2. Check the installation before comparing extras
- Electrical supply: match the delivered unit’s rating label and installation manual to your local supply. A voltage number alone does not specify the required circuit, outlet or wiring.
- Space: obtain external dimensions, assembly clearance, door swing and ventilation requirements. Advertised user capacity is not a room-size specification.
- Placement: confirm indoor or outdoor approval for the exact model. Do not infer outdoor suitability from the wood type.
- Delivery: request packed dimensions, shipment weight and delivery arrangements before planning access through doors or stairs.
Bluetooth and lighting may help you compare otherwise suitable models, but they do not replace installation information. Request the current manual rather than borrowing clearance or electrical instructions from a different sauna brand.
3. Shortlist the model that fits your use
- One-person infrared shortlist: compare HF1 if you want a panel-heated cabin and can accommodate its confirmed dimensions and electrical requirements.
- Two-person traditional shortlist: compare HY8 if you want a heater-and-stone cabin and can meet its confirmed installation requirements.
- Uncertain about the room: send measurements first. Confirm seating dimensions instead of assuming that a nominal 2-person cabin provides the space you expect.
Does infrared automatically mean a normal household outlet?
No. The exact model’s manual determines the connection requirements. The catalog contains different voltages and power ratings; do not extend the HF1 specification to another infrared model.
Which one warms up faster?
The reviewed MAJUS listings do not provide a verified, comparable warm-up test for these two models. Ask for testing conditions, starting room temperature and target temperature before comparing a warm-up claim.
Is the more powerful model always more expensive to run?
Rated power alone cannot establish a typical session cost. Operating time, heater cycling and your electricity tariff also matter. Compare documented energy measurements when available.
Send your available room dimensions, intended user count and installation country through our contact page or website chat. Ask for the manual and specification sheet for the exact model before ordering.
How a distributor can position the two sauna types
For a home-wellness range, the right comparison depends on the customer and installation brief. A compact infrared cabin may suit a retailer serving apartment owners who need a single-user product and a confirmed 120V configuration. A traditional cabin may suit a larger home, hospitality room or wellness project where the buyer requests a heater-and-stone experience and can confirm its electrical and ventilation requirements.
- Ask first: intended application, user count, destination market and available room.
- Compare next: heating system, rated voltage, rated power, cabin dimensions, bench layout and package information.
- Approve last: the exact model documentation and installation requirements for the quotation.
This decision path reflects how manufacturers and dealer-led sauna brands organize product choices; it does not imply that one system is universally better.
