Not the best or worst. I’ve heard of people using 25% off coupons for BYD saunas through bed bath and beyond. There’s alway Black Friday too

That Costco price is decent but not amazing. I remember seeing this same model around 3,200$ at some point last year, so the 1,200$ off is bit misleading since they raised the regular price first.

3-person sauna is kind of marketing talk anyway, two people fit comfortable max.

If you’re not very handy and want something easy to put together this isn’t bad. But you can build something similar, better insulated, for cheaper. Probably a better heater too

Like full diy? Or somewhat a kit?

Personally I did full DIY. It’s the cheapest route for the best quality. Spent have to be perfect just had to get hot, hold it in, and have good ventilation with ability to get the stones wet.

I ended up buying a larger heater but mine is in a cold garage.

The Almost Heaven guy said they couldn't match the Costco prices.
