Ever wanted a combination shower-sauna?

Yeah, I thought so. This little appliance from DiVapor, featured on BornRich (naturally), will provide your bathing facilities with both an 8-jet steam shower and a personal sauna unit. Called the Utopia Steam Sauna, it'll only set you back $6,800.

The only beef I have with the design: it looks like you have to step out of the contraption entirely to go from the shower to the sauna or vice versa. But then again, I'm sure nobody who owns this thing will have much of a problem with freezing cold bathrooms to begin with. (Wirelessly controlled thermostats, anyone?)

Oh, and yes, it's created by the same people who brought us the TV-equipped Luxor Hydro Massage Bathtub. So if you're tired of watching 24 in your luxury bathtub, you can supplement it with one of these shower-sauna units and then you'll really get clean. (And spoiled.)

Steam Showers and Steam Spas

A complete steam shower spa can be purchased online for less then $3,000. A complete system would include the steam generator, vertical hydro jets, foot massage, TV, 2 hand held showers, and more. Way better then this system!

This system is covered by a factory warranty, and all units are shipped free.

Buying a steam shower from an Online dealer demands special attention, you want someone who knows about all the companies online and can answer the phone anytime you have a question or a problem!

My sister got a steam shower from an online company based in Kansas City, http://www.mybath.biz that carries these freestanding spa like steam showers. She got one of their best units (the 78 i think) that makes you wonder why you would continue to OUT to a spa instead of staying in if you have one of these in your home. You really have to see with your own eyes to see what I mean, but it's the closest thing having a spa in your own home. It's a steam room, got a builtin hot tub, three showerheads, acupressure jets for a massage from head to toe, TV, radio, mp3/,mp4 inputs for your own music, handsfree phone for us busy people, foot massage, and lots of other extras. You can also use aromatherepy in the steam box. Truely amazing. I want one!
