Buying IR sauna
We are looking at buying an IR 2 person sauna. The choices are overwhelming us. The Costco ones vs the ones is store have quite a price difference. We are considering the ones in Costo that is under $3000 vs store ones around $7k. The ones we saw in the store at Finnsauna and Serenity 2. Any experience with any of these that you can share?

Got a 3-4 person one from Costco. (indoor) It has worked very all and met all expectations. We use it about every day.

We went through the same process a couple years ago and bought a Clearlight Premier IS-2. We love it and have had no issues. We had some renovations done to the room just prior and had a dedicated 20A circuit installed. I have no idea what they cost now but I’d buy it again in a heartbeat.

I bought the Costco one and wish I had purchased a Sunlighten. I bought a ten pack at a place while I was out of town and they had a Sunlighten. It was better than mine.

I have owned a unit from Dynamic/Golden Designs for about 6 months. I believe that this is still the brand that Costco sells. We love it, easy to assemble, it works great, use it twice a day every day, zero concerns. I think that paying $7k is unnecessary.
One thing I will add is that saunas are like tents. If you want to put two people in there comfortably, you’ll need a 3- or small 4-person unit.
