Questions people ask before buying this one
Will it run off a normal plug?
The seller doesn't say. Heaters for a cabin this size usually need a new circuit, so we add £0 to be safe. Sauna electrics.
Will it fit, and do I need planning permission?
The outside is 1 × 1.2 × 1.9 m (1.2 m² of ground). Leave room around it to build and treat the timber.
What will it cost to run?
About £0.42 of electricity a session and £44 a year at 2 sessions a week. Change the numbers in the calculator below. If 2 of you would otherwise pay £10 each for community sauna sessions, it costs about the same as those sessions after 1.1 years.
Will it last?
Warranty: 2 years in the description and FAQ (a banner on the same page says 1 year). Built from .
