Huntington 4-6 Person Canopy Barrel Sauna

A 6-seat canopy barrel at $6,252, the same price as the plain Princeton, so you get the porch for free.

The name says 4-6 person and the data lists 6 seats. At $6,252 for 94 inches, 8 kW and a canopy porch, it matches the Princeton on price and specs and adds the porch, which is why it comes out $1,042 per seat, 21 percent under the barrel median.

The Charleston has the same canopy and length for the same price but only 4 seats and 6 kW, so Huntington is clearly the better of the two. Against the 82-inch Almost Heaven Seneca at $6,191 you pay $61 more for the porch and more length. This suits families of five who want somewhere dry to change. Almost Heaven states a Limited Lifetime warranty for manufacturing defects; the Harvia heater has its own, 1 year on the elements and 5 on other parts. No weight is listed.
