Top 5 Affordable Saunas Under $3,000
Wes McMahon
I don't know about you, but when I grew up I always thought about saunas as more of a luxury item.
While there are truly some spectacular saunas out there, at-home saunas are a lot more affordable than you might think these days.
I’ve highlighted some of my favorite affordable saunas under $3,000 including the:
| #1 Most Affordable | #2 Most Energy Efficient | #3 Best With Foot Reflexology |
| Dynamic Sicily 1-Person Ultra Low EMF Far Infrared Sauna | SunRay Sedona 1-Person Infrared Sauna | Maxxus Seattle 2 Person Low EMF Far Infrared Sauna |
 |
 |
 |
|
- Cheapest sauna - Plugs into a standard 120V outlet - 30-day money-back guarantee |
- Automatic 60 min shut off - Uses less power - 7 year warranty |
- Foot reflexology heater - 6 carbon heaters - Free shipping |
1. Dynamic Sicily 1-Person Infrared Sauna
Top Pick: Cheapest Sauna
The Dynamic Sicily 1-Person Ultra Low EMF Far Infrared Sauna is Dynamic's most compact sauna, and at $1,399 it's the most affordable sauna on this list.
Built from Pacific Clear Cedar, it fits a closet, bathroom or small spare room. Four ultra low EMF carbon panels heat the sauna, and it comes with red light therapy, chromotherapy lighting and a Bluetooth stereo.
It plugs into a standard 120V household outlet, so there's no special wiring to pay for.
2. SunRay Saunas Sedona Infrared Sauna
Top Pick: Energy Efficiency
Are you perhaps looking for a sauna that won’t trouble you about shutting it off and will save money?
The SunRay Sedona 1-Person Infrared Sauna includes an automatic 60-minute shut-off feature so there’s no danger of overheating or using up a lot of power if you forget to turn the sauna off.
Additionally, there’s no need to count the minutes till you can turn it off when you should be relaxing and meditating.
For just one hour, this sauna will use 1.29 kW, which is less than the power of a standard air conditioner of 1.5 kW.
If used for 60 hours at a flat rate of 10 cents per kilowatt hour, you’ll spend about $7 which is affordable.
3. Maxxus Seattle 2-Person Infrared Sauna
Top Pick With a Foot Reflexology Heater
Foot pain can be…well, such a pain. In addition to causing discomfort, it can also increase the risk of falls and impair mobility.
The Maxxus Seattle 2 Person Low EMF Far Infrared Sauna includes a foot reflexology heater for warming tired feet.
The sauna also includes 6 carbon far infrared heaters for even, all-around heat.
If you’ll be sharing the sauna with an older individual with tired feet, the foot heater is a nice extra. There are also a bunch of other similar indoor saunas to check out as well.
4. SunRay Savannah 3-Person Cedar Infrared Sauna
Top Pick: Room for Three
Need more room without leaving the budget behind? The SunRay Savannah 3-Person Far Infrared Sauna seats three people comfortably for $2,496.
It's built from solid Canadian red cedar, heats up to 145 degrees with 8 carbon far infrared heaters, and has the same automatic 60-minute shut-off as the Sedona.
Want true traditional heat? The SunRay Baldwin 2-Person Traditional Sauna starts at $3,496.
5. Dynamic Venice 2-Person Infrared Sauna
Top Pick for Shared Experiences
The Dynamic Venice 2-Person Low EMF Far Infrared Sauna is the one you want if you like using the sauna with a partner or friend, at $2,299.
Six low EMF carbon panels, including heaters under the bench and in the floor, surround you with even heat. It also comes with red light therapy, chromotherapy lighting, a bronze tinted glass door and a Bluetooth stereo, and it plugs into a standard 120V outlet.
This makes it fairly easy to adjust to the mood or the vibe of the people you have over for that session, making your experiences more meaningful.
