E7 4-Person Outdoor Barrel Sauna

A 4-seat thermowood barrel at $5,190, 2 percent under the barrel median per seat, but with no heater power or warranty stated.

E7 is $1,298 per seat and 15th of 37 barrels. At 70.9 by 80.7 inches it is a fair size for four, and the 84.6 inch height is more than the 75.4 of the Almost Heaven Watoga and Audra. It weighs 1,213 pounds.

The price is competitive: the Pinnacle (cedar, $5,303) is $113 more, and the Watoga $525 less. The SaunaLife EE6G, a glass-front barrel, adds 5 years of stated coverage for $800 more, so E7's cost advantage partly reflects the missing warranty. Neither the warranty nor the heater power appears in our data for this model. A sensible choice if thermowood rather than cedar is what you want and you have confirmed the heater. Topture is the only store.
