Assumptions: electricity at $0.17 per kWh (US average), cost per session over 3 years at about 1 session per week (price divided by 156), sauna running cost at a 30-minute session. These are estimates for comparison, not quotes.
| Ownership | What it means |
|---|---|
| Upkeep | A dry microfiber wipe over the diodes with the device unplugged, and airflow kept clear: the panel is not run pressed against soft furniture, and the fan intake is kept free of lint. Cords, housing and hinges get a longer look about once a week. |
| What you rebuy | Nothing |
| Service life | Diodes are rated around 50,000 hours, which Mito Red states for its own panels under a 2 year warranty. The sources are explicit that the diodes are usually not what fails first: dust, blocked airflow, hot storage and cord stress are what end a panel. No source states a percentage of output lost per year, so none is given here. |
| Where they fail | Fans clogged with lint, and heat trapped by running the panel against a soft surface; Power cords and plugs, stressed by being pulled at an angle; Internal switches, batteries and housing, which the sources put ahead of the diodes |
These apply to the class, not to this record alone, and they are sourced from the manufacturer guidance for it. Anything a source does not state is left out rather than estimated.
