Who should buy which
Couples, families, or buyers building a home wellness suite who want the 5-person mPulse Empower's research-backed Solocarbon 3-in-1 heaters, smart programming for shared sessions, and the largest service network in the premium sauna category.
You want outdoor installation (Sun Home Luminar 5-person is the better outdoor pick), you don't need 5-person capacity (mPulse Aspire 1-person is $4-6K less), or warranty depth across the cabin (not just the heaters) is your top priority - Clearlight's lifetime cabin warranty is unmatched.
Buyers with dedicated indoor or outdoor space who want a research-backed traditional Finnish-style sauna at premium-tier pricing. The SK 110 ($17,995) for buyers committing to the flagship; the Summit ($7,495) if mid-tier is the right budget.
You're renting or apartment-living (Higher Dose blanket is the right call), or you want a full-spectrum infrared cabin (Sunlighten or Clearlight). Or you're below $5K total budget - the Sweat Barrel is the entry tier.
