The verdict
The MiHIGH blanket is a cheap way to try infrared heat at home: $179 on sale for cream, down from $399. MiHIGH gives a 25 to 75°C range but no wattage, and it names only CE, not ETL or UL. Both colors were sold out on Oct 13, 2026, and an opened blanket can't be returned.
The trade-off
You can't check its power draw or a US safety listing, and you can't send it back once it's opened.

About this price
Sale price for cream on MiHIGH's US product page on Oct 13, 2026, shown as 55% off a $399.00 regular price. MiHIGH's online store lists black at $199.00 against the same $399.00 regular price. Both colors were marked sold out, with no restock date. MiHIGH's store lists no other sauna blanket. The price is before tax and shipping. The product page says orders ship in 3 to 8 business days, while the FAQ says to allow 7 to 10 business days for US delivery.
A GOOD FIT FOR
You want a low-cost heat blanket to try at home and can wait for a restock.
- You want to try far-infrared heat at home for under $200, and you can wait for a restock
- You have no room for a cabin and want something that plugs into a normal outlet and folds away
- You have a heat-proof surface to lay it on
- You're up to 77 in tall and 330 lb
THINK TWICE IF
- You need one now: both colors were sold out on Oct 13, 2026
- You want an ETL or UL safety listing on something you lie inside
- You want a power-draw figure or a tested EMF reading before you buy
- You want the option to return it after trying it, since opened or used blankets aren't eligible
- You're pregnant or breastfeeding, have a pacemaker or other implant, or have heart disease: MiHIGH says to ask your doctor first
What still needs checking
- Power draw, voltage and amperage, so running cost can't be worked out
- Whether the controller has a timer or automatic shut-off
- Width, folded size and weight
- What the heating element and waterproof lining are made of
- Whether the exterior is Poly Oxford or leather, since the product page and FAQ disagree
- Whether a test report backs the CE claim, and whether any US safety listing exists
- EMF readings, and the distance they were measured at
- When, or whether, MiHIGH will restock either color
- Whether a carry bag or a brochure comes in the box, since the product page and FAQ disagree
- What a replacement controller costs
- Whether cream and black differ beyond color, since MiHIGH's online store gives them different version codes (V4 and V3)
The practical details.
| Exact variant | portable far-infrared blanket, cream or black |
|---|---|
| Heat and temperature | Far infrared, 25 to 75°C (about 77 to 167°F) in 5°C steps. MiHIGH suggests starting at 50 to 60°C (122 to 140°F). Full heat takes 10 to 15 minutes |
| Power | US/Canada standard plug. Wattage, voltage and amperage aren't stated |
| Size and user limits | 70 in (180 cm) long, for users up to 77 in tall and 330 lb. Width isn't stated |
| Sessions | 30 to 60 minutes on the product page, 2 to 3 times a week in the FAQ. No timer or automatic shut-off is described |
| Certification | CE approved, per the product page. No ETL or UL listing is named |
| EMF | "Low EMF heating" is claimed on the product page and in the FAQ, with no figure or test |
| In the box | Blanket, handheld controller and carry bag, per the product page. The FAQ lists the blanket, controller and a brochure |
| Cleaning | Wipe the waterproof interior with a cloth and a spray of water and tea tree oil, or a natural cleaning wipe. Let it dry before folding |
| Dimensions | 70 in (180 cm) long. MiHIGH recommends it for people up to 77 in (196 cm) tall and 330 lb (150 kg). Width, folded size and the blanket's own weight aren't stated. |
| Materials | The product page lists a Poly Oxford exterior, a waterproof interior and what MiHIGH calls non-toxic fabrics. The FAQ instead describes a "high-quality leather exterior" and says all heating layers are protected with fireproof insulators. MiHIGH doesn't name the lining material, the heating element or any fabric certification. |
Before you buy
InstallationNone
None. You connect the controller to the blanket and plug it into a wall outlet, according to MiHIGH's FAQ. The blankets have US/Canada standard plugs, and MiHIGH says it has only tested them on those electrical standards. Voltage, amperage and power draw aren't stated, and nothing says whether it needs its own circuit. The FAQ says to lay it on a heat-proof surface.
Warranty12 months from the date the blanket is dispatched, not delivered
12 months from the date the blanket is dispatched, not delivered. MiHIGH chooses the remedy: repair, a new controller, a replacement blanket (or a similar model if you agree) or an exchange. To claim, you email support within 30 days of noticing the defect, with photos and a description. MiHIGH pays shipping both ways if you follow its packing instructions. Misuse, poor maintenance, ignoring the instructions, wear and tear, cosmetic damage and continued use after a defect appears aren't covered. Commercial use voids it, and it can't be transferred. The refund policy gives a shorter window to report a faulty item: 14 days from noticing the defect. The terms come from MiHIGH Pty Ltd in Australia and fall under Queensland law. The product page only links to the warranty page from its footer.
ReturnsThe product page says: "Not for you after 30 days? We'll refund your entire purchase…
The product page says: "Not for you after 30 days? We'll refund your entire purchase, no questions asked." The refund policy is much stricter. A return must be unopened and in its original packaging, and an opened or used item isn't eligible. You pay return shipping, and there's a 15% restocking fee (about $27 on the $179 cream blanket). You have 30 days from delivery to start a return by email. MiHIGH issues the refund once it has checked the return, which takes 7 to 14 business days. The policy calls this a full refund but doesn't say how the 15% fee fits with that.
More about this assessment

What will it cost to own?
Change the assumptions to fit your use. Leave an unknown cost blank. Add water, subscriptions, cleaning, shipping and taxes if they apply. Use average operating power, not the maximum rating.
3-year known subtotal
$179.00Incomplete: energy use. This is not the full ownership cost.
Energy component: Unknown
Purchase + installation + years × (annual consumables + annual other) + watts/1000 × hours/day × 365 × years × $/kWh. Annualized allowances, not an exact replacement schedule. Excludes taxes, shipping, finance and resale unless entered.Replacement parts & cost assumptions
Recorded recurring parts and refills:
- MiHIGH Experience Kit (optional): $65. Sale price against a $125 regular price. It holds a sweat-absorbing towel insert for inside the blanket, three microfiber towels, a spray bottle and a headband. MiHIGH gives no replacement interval, and the kit can't be returned unless it's defective.
- Purchase is the $179 sale price for cream on Oct 13, 2026. Black is $199. Neither could be bought that day, since both colors were sold out.
- Installation is $0. You connect the controller and plug it into a wall outlet, and MiHIGH describes no wiring or dedicated circuit.
- Annual consumables are $0 because nothing has to be replaced on a schedule. The optional $65 Experience Kit isn't counted. MiHIGH suggests cleaning with water and tea tree oil or a natural cleaning wipe.
- No subscription is mentioned, so other annual costs are $0.
- Energy cost is unknown because MiHIGH doesn't publish the power draw.
- Hours per day is 0.27. That's the midpoint of MiHIGH's guidance: 2 to 3 sessions a week (FAQ) of 30 to 60 minutes each (product page), or 2.5 sessions of 45 minutes.
- Repairs after the 12-month warranty aren't priced, and MiHIGH's store doesn't sell a spare controller.
Evidence & sources.
Are saunas good for you? Our evidence review grades the research as Moderate. That grade is about the claim, not about this product.
- Manufacturer claimSize, user limits and session length come from MiHIGH's product page. The temperature range, warm-up time, session frequency and plug type come from its FAQ. Both pages cover materials, box contents and cleaning.16 From MiHIGH's own pages. None of these figures was measured independently, and MiHIGH links no manual. The two pages disagree on the exterior material and on what's in the box.
- Manufacturer claimPrices and stock status come from the product page and MiHIGH's online store. The store listing shows no other sauna blanket.13 MiHIGH's online store gives each color's price, regular price and availability. It carries no size, user limits or other specifications.
- Manufacturer claimMiHIGH's product page says the blanket is CE approved. It names no ETL, UL or other US safety listing.1 The product page gives no certificate, file number, test standard or lab. No certifier directory was searched, so a listing could exist without appearing on MiHIGH's pages. If a US listing matters to you, ask MiHIGH before you buy.
- Manufacturer claimMiHIGH says its blankets were made specifically with low EMF heating.16 No EMF or ELF figure, measuring distance, lab or report is given. No independent EMF measurement of this blanket was reviewed.
- Manufacturer claimThe product page says you can burn up to 300 to 600 calories per session. It also makes recovery, mood, sleep and detox claims.1 The page cites no study, method or participants for these claims. No published trial of this blanket was reviewed.
- Manufacturer claimMiHIGH's FAQ says to ask your doctor before using the blanket if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have metal or other implants such as pacemakers or breast implants, or have heart disease.6 The FAQ also lists photosensitivity, recent surgery, osteoporosis and malignancy, among other conditions. These are MiHIGH's precautions, not evidence of a benefit.
