Who should buy which
Buyers with dedicated indoor or outdoor space who want a research-backed traditional Finnish-style sauna at premium-tier pricing. The SK 110 from $17,995 (2-3 person 5x6) for buyers committing to the flagship line; 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.
Couples and small households who want a US-built outdoor traditional barrel sauna and are comfortable configuring the heater ($600 to $2,400) and roof kit ($600) at checkout. The Regular with the Harvia built-in at $5,395 is the value pick of the lineup.
You want a heater-included sticker price and a legacy brand track record (Almost Heaven Bridgeport), a finished cabin feel with a window (the Sweat Cabin), or you have no path to a hardwired 30-amp dedicated circuit at the install site.
