Real totals database
The sticker price and the final bill are rarely the same. This database collects what owners actually paid in total: product, freight, electrician, base, install and accessories. Every entry is checked by hand before it's published, and entries are anonymous.
No owner totals published yet
We only publish real totals that owners send us, checked by hand. We never write sample or made-up entries. Bought a sauna or cold plunge? Your real total helps the next buyer.

Safety first. Saunas and cold plunges put real stress on your heart and circulation. If you have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure, are pregnant, or take medication, talk to your doctor before you use one. We don’t make health claims. This site covers costs only.
