And as a person who used to work at Costco, you can return it 15 years later with no receipt and no recollection of when you bought it. I don’t know if that’s true for every Costco but I still have nightmares about working at the returns desk.

I think I've heard they will cancel your membership now if you try returning stuff that has obviously been used without issue for years or months

Great video! Useful to consider how these saunas age without thermally modified wood or a roof. Regardless, the best sauna is the one you have and use regularly so it's all good. Glad you're still getting good temps after four years. For more even temps, there are barrels with upper benches. A Saunum heater would redistribute the hottest air from the ceiling and blend it with fresh air at floor level. It's a game changer but pricey. The one hour timer thing is a UL rule. That's also why most heaters have a max of 194°F at the temperature sensor location above the heater. HUUM heaters can go for 12 hrs with a max temp of 230°F. Wi-Fi enabled heaters do exist and are becoming the norm, even with this same heater. Let me know if we can help with anything or team up on future videos! Keep up the good heat.

I have this exact sauna. Mine is a little older than a year now. The rain jacket from Almost Heaven was a game changer for me. It helped seal the cracks in the wood and it’s much easier to get it up to about 210 degrees with it than it was without it.

Great video! But… they are $5400 for a 6 person, not $3500. I’ve never seen the 6 person on sale, although maybe that’s possible. Prices go up and down as well. But just FYI for those looking for this on. I just got mine last week and finished building. But the heater was scratched up so now I’ll be waiting on a new one.

I spend 8 to 12 hours a day in that working my booty off I work in a commercial bakery with a oven that's a big as some people's homes and a proof box that's just as big has super poor ventilation.... avg temp if it's 70-80 outside is 150 at 75-90% humidity yes lol sometimes it does rain in there literally if the temp outside is 90-100 it becomes hard for most people to work cause the temperature is 190-215 our brk room is usually filled with people on the verg of passing out so we have to over staff on days the temp outside is hot it's kinda crazy tbh especially with all the super physical positions there are to do before working here I had no idea what the body was capable of

Costco's sauna vs a thermal treated wood sauna is about a $1500 difference (thermal wood setup includes roof shingle kit). Would it be worth it to spend the extra money for thermal treated wood + roof kit? Been considering the Costco sauna and waiting for it to go on sale to make the $$$ gap even bigger...

I have had this same sauna for a couple years and I like it. I use it a few times a week. You can create a roof with corrugated metal if you want to protect it from the elements a bit more. I also stained the exterior of mine with linseed oil, and I spray some diluted vinegar and lightly pressure wash to remove mildew about once a year. My biggest complaint is also the lack of a remote start. Potentially there's some way to hook up a smart button presser to turn the knob, but I haven't cared enough to figure it out yet.

@barbaraheard 3 ай бұрын

can one easily install the benches at a higher level, say 36" off the floor in order to access the higher, hotter heat? how high of the sauna floor are the control knobs on the heater?

@jordangarside 3 ай бұрын

@@barbaraheard I think it’s pretty doable to put the benches at a higher level, but you’d have to cut a couple of your own 2x4’s to support the bench. The benches sit on 2x4s that are screwed into the front/back of the sauna, and then 1 supporting post in the middle of the bench. You’d want to cut the correct angles on the supports to match the angles of the floor/walls for that height. One issue with putting the benches higher is that the round shape will make it more uncomfortable to sit back against and you’ll have less headroom (not too much of an issue if you plan to lay down on the bench). For me (6’3”) when sitting on the bench at the default height, I generally need to sit up completely straight w/ my back not against the wall, or really stretch my legs out so that my back is partially resting against the bottom of the bench, almost like laying down. Personally I sit/lay on the floor of the sauna which gives me something like 2 levels. I’d guess the floor is ~15-20F cooler than the bench. The control knobs are ~7” above the floor.

@@jordangarside Thanks Jordan. I like to lie down. Maybe I'll put one bench at the default height, and the other higher. are the control knobs easy to access? I previously had a different model and had to kneel on the floor to access the controls. For me this was a hassle.

@jordangarside 3 ай бұрын

@@barbaraheard The knobs are pretty big and they’re easy to reach. I usually only touch the time control knob and I always just turn it until it *clicks* and then I turn it back again a tiny bit until it clicks again to start the 1hr maximum. You can do the timer based on the clicks pretty easily without looking at it to turn it on for 1hr or turn it off. If you were trying to set the knob for 1hr with a time delay (start the sauna in a few hours or so) - then you would probably need to kneel and look at the dial to see how long you had the set the delay for.

I bought an almost heaven cabinlike sauna. the kit arrives. took forever to unload and was in european metrics. hired two contractors and now it has mold in various spots forming. It constantly leaks heat and guests complain it doesnt get hot enough. I have major warping problems with the wood and I am 22k in :(

Have a sales call set up with Sisu tomorrow on their newer models coming. However wanted your opinion on quality since I can’t see any of these saunas in person. Redwood Outdoors, Sisu, or Plunge? I’m also someone that likes to lay down. Def feel like this Almost Heaven sauna if stained and having a roof installed could keep up over time.

Yeah his point about remote turn on is good. If you get a 120V two person sauna, you can power it with a smart switch and remotely turn it on before you get home.

@Logicbroker512 3 ай бұрын

whether 120v (which wouldn't get hot enough) or 240v you should use a contactor. Its not that hard and there are videos on KZbin of people doing a smart timer with contactor
