Decent product, it keeps my ice bath cold and I’ve used less ice since having it. I like my water temp around 40 degrees. Customer service responded quickly and helped with the error code I had.

James - Philadelphia, Pa Infrared Mat not Delivered.

I paid about $900 for the double infrared mat that comes with a free mask. On April 6th I have received the mask but the mat was not delivered or lost I don't know.
There is know phone number to contact anyone only through there support email which I have already sent several emails with no response. I wish I had check this company out before I made my purchase now I have $900 dollars hanging in the wind.

Hi there,

We’re really sorry to hear this, we completely understand why you’d be concerned.

In some cases, items like the bag and mask can ship separately depending on stock and warehouse location, which is likely why you received one but not the other yet. That said, you should have had clear tracking and communication around this.

If you haven’t heard back via email, there’s a good chance our replies may have landed in spam/junk - but either way, we want to get this resolved for you as quickly as possible.

Please let us know your order details and I’ll personally look into where your bag is and make sure you’re taken care of promptly.

Best,
Nuvio

Hi Julian,

We’re really sorry to hear this, that’s definitely not the experience we want for you.

If the motor has failed that quickly, it should fall within our warranty, and our team can take a proper look at this and get it resolved - whether that’s troubleshooting or arranging a replacement.

Please let us know your order details, and we’ll make sure this is handled properly for you.

Best,
Nuvio

Great products (mat and mask). Prompt support via email. Willing to fix any issues to make it right.

I had an issue with face mask. Bossy in customer service sent an almost immediate reply from their support email. since the directions are not included with product (accessible on line), I wasnt using the remote properly. Works great now, and I love that AND the mat. I had multiple responses and a willingness by nuvio to do whatever was needed to correct any issues.
Based on the nanometer and irradiance level (that many others do not provide) this one is very effective. The silicone mask a huge improvement from my first hard mask. A+ service and product.

Love this, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share such a balanced experience.
You’re absolutely right, there are a lot of moving parts with these systems and small setup details can make a big difference. We're so glad to hear that Charlie was able to assist you in getting this resolved!

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service. There isn't any. No phone number. Can't not speak to anyone. Their customer service is AI. They do not respond to emails and SMS. Finally, after trying to reach a real person I was contacted through Messenger after about a month. They state hassle free returns on their advertising. Good luck. The return policy is designed so that you cannot return for a refund. They delete bad reviews on their FB ads. I saw one posted by a customer who received the wrong item and could not return because they opened the box!!! BUYER BEWARE this company is shady.

Hi there,

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, and we completely understand why you’d feel this way.

This isn’t the level of service we aim to provide at all. We do have a support team (not just AI, which is on our web chat), but delays can sometimes happen during high volumes - that said, a month is not acceptable and we take that seriously. Sometimes our replies can get misdirected to spam/junk inboxes, so we absolutely want to get this checked for you.

Just to clarify on returns, customers are absolutely able to inspect their items - we simply ask that they’re returned in re-saleable condition, for hygiene purposes, and our team is there to guide that process to avoid any issues.

We’d really like the chance to make this right for you. Please let us know your order details and I'll personally pick this up and ensure it gets resolved properly.

Best,
Nuvio

They took my money when they did not have the item

They took my money when they did not have the product to ship. They refused to indicate when I should expect it. It seems a recurring theme for this company and many other reviews are the same product was never delivered.

I requested a refund, but they said they can’t process a refund until after the item is shipped and then returned. So if they don’t get the item shipped, they just keep the money.

I am now out $810.

Hi Richard,

We’re really sorry to hear about this, we completely understand how concerning that situation must feel.

Just to clarify, in some cases orders can be held or split due to stock availability, which can affect shipping timelines - but you should always be kept informed, and we apologize if that hasn’t been clear in your case.

Regarding refunds, we don’t want anyone feeling stuck or out of pocket like this. Please let us know your order details so we can look into the status of your order and get this resolved properly for you as quickly as possible.

Best,
Nuvio

Warning - Return policy pretty much irrelevent

While I like the led mat, the customer service experience was horrible. First, I wanted to exchange for a more expensive product - I asked for the change before I ever used the product. However, if you take it out of the bag (which you have to do to even see the product or test if it works to your liking), then they will not give you a refund or let you return it. This is a warning to anyone who buys it - basically you are stuck with it if you don't like it for any reason. Second the response times were pretty bad (days to respond to email or chat) and all they do is ignore what you are asking and just keep restating their return policy over and over. I suspect they are just buying time to make the 30 days run out. Too bad for them - I actually was planning to spend more $$ with them, but because of this, I won't be buying anything else from them.

Hi there,

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, and we completely understand your frustration here.

Just to clarify, customers are absolutely able to inspect the product- we simply ask that returns are made in re-saleable condition, for hygiene purposes, but it should never feel like you’re “stuck” with something you’re unhappy with. We also appreciate your feedback on response times, as that’s clearly not the level of service we aim to provide.

It’s especially disappointing to hear this given you were looking to upgrade - that’s exactly the kind of experience we want to get right.

If you’re open to it, please let us know your order details and I’ll personally take a look at your case to see what we can do to help resolve this for you.

Pain Lessened

I’ve had my Nuvio red light therapy mat for about 2 months. I have used it almost daily and my inflammation has gone down significantly. My endometriosis flareups are less. My back and leg pain is less painful.

I bought sauna and red light therapy mat relying on their website reviews, Big mistake. I was disappointed right away when I opened the box. Strong chemical smell, very cheap, flimsy material, thin you can just tell right away it’s cheap. The sauna had a hole, stitches are poorly sewn, doesn’t heat up after two hours. I packed it back in the box right away and contacted their customer service. No response after two weeks, then received an email they have closed my case due to non response?!? I replied right away but been told I don’t meet their requirements to return. It’s so insane and scammy. Please don’t waste energy on their products. Seems like they are supplied by Chinese company that doesn’t care about the quality.

I am very disappointed

I am very disappointed. Ordered this red-light therapy bag and it took over 6 weeks to receive. When I got it I opened the box and there were no directions or guidance on opening or setting up. I could scan the QR code and read the directions--nowhere did it say that one couldn't open the plastic bags or it was non-returnable. Even when I had to open to see the FALSE ADVERTISING component. No plastic covering over the red light part for easier cleaning. When I commented about this to support, they advised I clean with a damp cloth and Isopropyl alcohol--that would be fine with a plastic cover, but with a foam cover that is not possible. Their advertising pictures show a clear plastic cover covering the lights. I advised them of this and wanted to return, and they will not accept since they have been taken out of the sealed plastic bags (that doesn't say anywhere that it is non-returnable if removed). They have a 30 day return policy that is prominently displayed, but then won't accept the return on something that one couldn't see without opening the bag AND is prominently displayed on their advertisement and instruction pictures.

Nuvio's Red Light Therapy mat is a great product.Both my wife an I use it daily (83 & 87 years old). It does work and is very easy and convenient to use.

We use the product, then go into our home sauna 5 - 7 days a week. The Red Light mat just enhances the overall benefits of keeping in shape. I recommend this Nuvio product to everyone.

I recieved my Nuvio mat and it would not power up. I contacted the support team and was instructed to try a few simple task to detirmine what the issue might be. I sent them a short video of the task and what it would and would not do. I recieved a new power pack/unit as promised within a few days and the mat start working as it should. The contact was via email, it was timely and responsive. In my opinion they did a great job!

I bought a smaller one from another company. I hated it. Then I saw Nuvio's ad. I thought about it for a couple of weeks. I decided to buy it and once I received it in the mail. Trying it was easy. 15 minutes on 1 side and 15 minutes on the other side. I did start with 10 min, then 20, then 30. I could tell it helped my pain after the 20 minutes.

I love my red light mat

I love my red light mat. The only reason I’m giving 4 ⭐️ is because it arrived with a faulty plug. However, I emailed customer service and they responded the same day with an apology and a quick remedy to resolve the issue. They shipped a new plug out immediately.

Excellent Product

We were skeptics because my husband and I both have shoulder, back, and sciatica issues. We do HIIT training three days a week and walk daily. When we saw the sale on the mat, we thought we would try it out. We lay on the mat daily for 30 minutes. We are feeling a difference. I am not sure why, but my night vision was horrible, but since using the mat, my eyes have gotten better and not having as many issues driving at night. Coincidence, maybe, but not sure. I'll take that as another win. I have also convinced our buddy to purchase a mat as well. He too is a gym guy and has pain issues. He loves it as well. If you have pain issues or just want to use this for overall well being, I encourage you to try this out, you won't be disappointed.
