What is the difference between Dynamic and Maxxus saunas?

Both brands are manufactured by Golden Designs Inc. using Canadian Hemlock construction. Dynamic is the value-focused line with Low EMF FAR carbon heating panels (5–10 mG at panel), while Maxxus is the step-up line featuring Near Zero EMF heating technology (under 1 mG at panel) for EMF-sensitive buyers. Warranty, assembly system, and wood quality are comparable.

Are Dynamic and Maxxus made by the same company?

Yes — both Dynamic Saunas and Maxxus Saunas are brand lines of Golden Designs Inc. That's why their build quality, clasp-together assembly, and warranty structure are so similar. The meaningful difference is the EMF rating of the heating panels.

Is Maxxus worth the extra money over Dynamic?

If you're EMF-sensitive or simply want the lowest possible EMF reading, yes — Maxxus' Near Zero EMF panels measure under 1 mG, near background levels. If you're comfortable with Low EMF levels (5–10 mG at the panel, well below common household appliances), a Dynamic model delivers the same heat experience for less.

Do Dynamic and Maxxus saunas have the same warranty?

Both carry a 5-year manufacturer warranty on heating elements and electronics and a 1-year warranty on the wood structure for residential use — valid only when purchased from an authorized dealer like Iridescent Home.

The one fact that simplifies everything

Both brands come off Golden Designs Inc. production lines. When you compare a Dynamic and a Maxxus of the same size, you are not comparing two companies' build quality — you're choosing between Low EMF carbon panels (Dynamic, 5–10 mG at panel) and Near Zero EMF panels (Maxxus, under 1 mG), and paying the difference for the shielding technology.
