I am in the market for a Cheap Portable Sauna I have seen them as cheap as $80 and Some have better reviews then others however they seem to be the same material made in china and the heater is essentially a china crock pot. I am looking for something for the next two months as I rehab my ankle, so nothing long term. Anyone have any real live experience other then the sometimes fake/inaccurate reviews on amazon?

I picked this one up from Sams Club on clearance a few months ago and it does the job.  Hot enough and holds a consistent temperature.  Gets really messy though so takes some time to clean up and wipe everything down inside after.  The included stool is on the smaller side so might need to bring your own.

I figured you weren't trying to rip a hole in the space-time continuum with a hot tub.... although I did suddenly become reminded of the fun that is Hot Tub Time Machine.

As long as you pronounce it correctly.  I have yet to meet an American who is not from the UP or part Finn pronounce sauna correctly.  

And when you take a sauna, you need to have a way to dunk in cold water (or snow).  Kind of a requirement.

Got it in the mail and took less then 15 minutes to setup. I would not call it a sauna (Dry heat), it's more of a steam room, because it just has a heater that boils water which goes through a tube into the structure. When I was done I wiped it down and it didn't seem to add any extra moisture in the basement. 

In the winter I was thinking about putting it in my screen porch to get both hot and cold.
