Cove Outdoor Sauna - 3 Person

The dearest of eight 3-seat saunas in our data at $7,399, which is $2,466 a seat, with a 6 kW heater and a 1-year warranty.

Cove costs $2,109 more than the SunRay Waverly, which also seats three and states a heater and a warranty, and $3,009 more than the SaunaLife E6 barrel. Per seat it is 61 percent above the all-model median of $1,532. What the data shows for the money is thermowood, a 6 kW heater (2 kW per seat, above the 1.5 typical), an 81.9 by 64.5 inch base, about 37 square feet, and a height of 82.5 inches.

It weighs 1,000 pounds and comes as a kit. The Waverly is smaller, at 22 square feet, but carries 10 years of coverage against 1 year here. Unless you want this thermowood layout in particular, the numbers favor a different 3-seater. No shape or porch is recorded. Redwood Outdoors is the only store.
