Pinnacle 4 Person Barrel Sauna

A 4-seat cedar barrel at $5,303, $681 under the median four-seat barrel, with more headroom than the cheaper Watoga.

At $1,326 per seat, Pinnacle is right at the barrel median. It is 71 inches long with a 6 kW heater and no porch. The Audra is the same length with a canopy porch, and at Finnish Sauna Builders the two cost the same.

The height stands out: 81.5 inches against 75.4 on the Watoga and Audra, which helps if you are tall or sit on an upper bench. It costs $638 more than the Watoga, and you get 12 more inches of length as well as the taller roof. The Essex adds an 8 kW heater and a still taller shell for $681 more. 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.
