1/5
Most home saunas either top out at 150Β°F (infrared) or use budget heaters that can't hold temperature.
The SaunaBox Forge hits 220Β°F with a commercial-grade Harvia heater - the same brand in hotel spas globally. π₯
4/5
Canadian Hemlock interior stays cool to the touch at full temp.
Matte black aluminum exterior doesn't rot, doesn't rust, handles year-round outdoor use without the maintenance a wood exterior needs.
$4,990 pre-order. 2-year cabin warranty.
6/6

Friction heat can't run the heater and jets simultaneously.
A dedicated heater holds temperature regardless.

#2PersonHotTub#HotTubForCouples
1/5
Most hot tubs sold as '4-person' really only fit 2 adults comfortably.
Knees touch, jets shared across all seats, someone always gets the bad spot.
We reviewed 5 that own it. π
