100%
Independent. We don't manufacture or sell any sauna — every pick is chosen from what's actually available.
We read the specs, compare the fine print and flag what a listing photo doesn't tell you — power requirements, footprint, delivery and warranty.
Dimensions, capacity, heating technology, wiring and warranty — not marketing lines.
Every recommendation carries an affiliate disclosure. Commissions never change the price you pay.
We describe what a sauna is and how it works — we don't make medical promises.

Infrared warms up faster, runs at lower temperatures and is usually easier to install indoors. Traditional saunas deliver real steam and higher heat but need more space, power and setup. Our infrared vs. traditional guide covers the trade-offs in detail.
A solid two-person infrared sauna typically starts around $3,000. Traditional outdoor barrel saunas and quality kits generally run $4,000–$8,000, while architectural cabins and luxury installations can exceed $20,000.
Often, yes. Many traditional heaters need a dedicated 240V circuit. Many infrared models run on standard household current, though larger ones may not. Always check the manufacturer's electrical requirements before ordering.
It varies widely by model and local energy rates — infrared saunas generally use less power per session than traditional electric heaters. Our guide on sauna electricity use breaks down typical consumption.
