What buyers actually choose
Our best-selling sauna isn't the biggest model on the floor — it's the $1,499 one-person compact. Most first-time buyers start at the entry tier, confirm the daily habit sticks, and size up later. If you're agonizing between tiers, that's worth knowing: the cheapest sauna you'll actually use every day beats the impressive one you talk yourself out of.
The costs nobody mentions (mostly $0)
A sauna is unusual for a major home purchase: with a 120V plug-and-play model, the sticker price is essentially the whole price.
Delivery
Free curbside freight on every order. The carrier calls ahead to schedule. No minimums, no surcharges.
Installation
Clasp-together assembly in 60–90 minutes with a helper. No special tools. "Took longer to unpack than to put together." — Angie B., sauna owner
Electrical work
$0 for most models — they run on a standard 120V outlet. Some larger 3–4 person units need a dedicated 240V circuit (one-time electrician cost $150–$400). Always listed in the product specs.
Running cost
A daily 30-minute session on a 1,500–1,800W heater costs less per month than one spa visit. No water, no chemicals, no maintenance contracts.
The number that matters: cost per year
Most people comparing sauna prices are really comparing against the spa habit they already have.

- Shared equipment, shared sweat
- Stop paying, lose everything
- Unlimited sessions, twenty steps away

- Lasts 10–15 years with basic care
