Who should buy which
Buyers who want a large, made-in-USA traditional indoor cabin sauna with multi-level benches and a Harvia heater, and who have the floor space and a 240V/40A circuit.
You want infrared's milder heat (Sunlighten or Clearlight), an outdoor build (a barrel sauna or the Sun Home Luminar), or a one to two-person footprint.
Buyers making a long-horizon sauna purchase who value research-backed heater technology, smart programming, and the brand with the deepest clinical citation base.
You don't need smart-control features (Sunlighten Signature is $1-2K less), you want outdoor installation (Sun Home Luminar is the better outdoor pick), or you're budget-constrained under $5K.
