On the plus side, the finishes are very nice. It looks and feels firm. The dull scent of cedar in the air as you walk inside is lovely. As my daughter and the children can testify in the neighborhood, it is a beautiful, cozy little corner to curl up and read a book if you are the little child of an everlasting cold person, and also an eternal cold person.

For me, it is very convenient to open the Sun Home app, warm the sauna for 30 minutes and walk into the backyard as to walk three blocks to my gym, where I have to justify to go into the sauna by practicing in advance.

You can connect your phone via Bluetooth or USB and listen to music, or to a podcast with Sun Home’s ceiling-mounted speakers, who have a decent depth of sound, even if you really hear the plosive when you listen to podcasts. You can turn on party lights with the touch of a button on the ministry panel, for your party of two.

There is also a chromotherapy panel in the ceiling, which makes the sauna a kind of purple pink. There are some small -scale studies that support the idea that chromotherapy reduces anxiety. I turned it on several times, but found that the sitting under a pink light panel somehow didn’t forget that I would get Freddy Krueger-Ed in my own backyard. You can also opt for an extra infrared therapy panel on the door.

At this price, you want the sauna experience to be seamless and completely satisfying. You do not want to deal with the mounting or delivery problems. You do not want to wait an hour or more to get to full heat, and once you are in, you do not want to sit on the couch and touch your back to make sure it is not burned. You don’t want to worry about glass crashing or a 5-year-old neighborhood closed inside.

There is Many other saunas where you can sit without a hardship and do not have to worry about the door crushing. For example, this one of the plunge is also Bluetooth-connected, you can comfortably lean against the seats, and it has a wooden door! For $ 4,000 you can get a traditional house sauna at Costco. However, there is one person in my household who regularly holds Sauna parties, and I think my ten-year-old loves the sunhouse than me. A sweaty, steamy room full of naked parents is a much less attractive reading.
