Who should buy which
Homeowners who want a sauna room and a cold plunge delivered as one finished building instead of two separate projects, who can add two dedicated circuits and a level gravel, slab or deck base, and who will use the unit at home, where the residential warranty applies.
You want a clear return path, since the refund policy excludes assembled saunas; or the site is in Alaska, Hawaii or anywhere else outside the contiguous United States.
Homeowners in the contiguous United States who want a finished cedar lined sauna cabin delivered on its own wheeled frame for personal use, and who can arrange freight, crane placement, a level base and a licensed electrician before it arrives.
You plan to rent the sauna out or run it as a business, since that use voids the warranty; you need towing, axle or weight figures; you want a clear return path, since the home trial excludes assembled saunas; or you want the Hive Flow Mini version without first getting Sweat Kingdom to say in writing what that heater is.
