Solaris 4 Outdoor Traditional Sauna

A pre-assembled 4-seat thermowood sauna at $36,299, the dearest per seat in our data at $9,075, with a 6 kW heater and a 3-year warranty.

Solaris 4 costs about six times the all-model median of $1,532 per seat. The median 4-seat sauna we list is $5,990, so you pay $30,309 more. It is 68.9 by 90.1 inches and 94.5 tall, about 43 square feet, and weighs 1,698 pounds. That is 10.8 square feet per seat against 9.4 typical. The 6 kW heater is 1.5 kW per seat, exactly the typical figure.

What the money buys is assembly: it arrives pre-assembled, one of five models that do. The Auroom Garda, also pre-assembled, seats six for $32,990, $3,309 less. The warranty is 3 years, short for this price, and our data records no shape or porch. A kit such as the Almost Heaven Pinnacle seats four for $5,303. Buy the Solaris 4 only if delivery already built justifies the premium. Sun Home Saunas is the only store.
