Product Description

The Barrel Sauna was developed over thirty years ago, and was the first of the Almost Heaven Sauna line. The pleasing shape is both stylish and functional, providing maximum usable space while minimizing excess cubic feet. The less cubic feet of air in the sauna, the faster your sauna will heat. In addition, the Barrel Sauna maximizes seating space by utilizing opposing benches that run the full length of the sauna room. The Barrel Sauna is mounted on two molded polymer cradles, which are impervious to breakdown by the elements, allowing you to place your Barrel Sauna right on the ground if you choose. There are also mounting holes molded into the cradles allowing you to anchor the sauna to a deck or patio if you prefer a secure installation. The craftsmanship of the Barrel Sauna is exquisite and incorporates traditional cooperage construction in its design. When choosing a stylish barrel sauna, only the Almost Heaven Barrel Sauna is the genuine article!

This review is from: Almost Heaven Barrel Sauna 6' (Health and Beauty)

This review is of the sauna and manufacturer, not this merchant, as I purchased mine from a membership warehouse (begins with C, great place) almost 18 months ago and couldn't be happier. I'm so happy I decided review it here as well since I just came across the listing on Amazon and am surprised to see no reviews yet, especially as it's a great sauna. It was fairly easy to put together, I built it in the basement which has a level cement floor (a level floor is key). The best of both worlds, dry heat as hot as one likes with a very powerful heater and a fantastic steam sauna by pouring water on the rocks. I also like that the wood comes from the USA and the heater from Finland so I'm not worried about toxic chemicals. In my mind far superior to ceramic infrared saunas as it offers both dry & steam options, and still like new after 18 months of use several times a week, great quality materials, looks as good and works as well as a 5* hotel sauna. The only downside compared to a ceramic infrared is that the floor doesn't warm up much as the heat source is slightly above the floor. I wanted a few more rocks and the company sent them to me at no cost with a minimal shipping charge. You may get the CEO when you call -- I did! -- seems to be a well run small USA company with superb service. Inside 2 people can lay down, 4 can sit comfortably but you'll need to be friends. If you want to stretch out all the way or have more elbow room get the longer models. No problem with headroom, it feels much more spacious once you're inside than it looks from the outside. Note that the interior length is a bit shorter than the 6' as there are several inches of overhang on either end (I have the 5' model so it's not quite as deep as I'd like inside, if I bought again I'd go for the 6' or longer; the height is good even on mine, almost 6' inside and feels like more, one only loses the thickness of the cedar).
