Best Outdoor Saunas

How the score works
- 1
Each criterion is scaled from 0, the worst of these 69 models, to 1, the best. For price per seat, lower is better, so the lowest value scores 1.
- 2
Each scaled value is multiplied by its weight, and the results are added up to a score out of 100. Models with the same score share a rank.
- 3
A model is ranked only if it has its own page here and a value for every criterion.
Ranking
69 models scored 0 to 100. Each bar segment is a criterion, as wide as its weight.

How the score works
This ranking covers every shape. Each model gets 0 to 100 points on three criteria:
- Price per seat, 40 points: the lowest price we track for the model divided by its seats. Lower is better.
- Seats, 30 points. More is better.
- Warranty, 30 points. Longer is better. A lifetime warranty, including "limited lifetime" wording, counts as the longest and gets all 30 points.
For each criterion, the lowest and highest values among the ranked models become 0 and 1, and the rest fall in between. Price per seat is flipped so the cheapest seat gets all 40 points. The weighted results are added up.
Who is ranked
A model is ranked only if it has its own page here and a value for all three criteria. A model needs either a warranty length in years or a stated lifetime warranty. Read the maker's warranty terms to see what a limited lifetime warranty covers. Barrel, cabin and cube rankings are on their own pages.
What the score does not measure
Comfort, build quality, how the heat feels or how long the wood lasts. It rewards cheap seats and long warranties, so use it to shortlist, then read the model pages.
Price checks
Each price carries its check date. The newest date is shown with the ranking, which is rebuilt from the data.
