Terms of use

SaunaReviews publishes general information to help you compare home saunas. Reviews and scores are our editorial opinion, formed from sellers' own listings and specifications at the date shown on each page.

Prices and specifications

Prices, stock and specifications change, often without notice. Always confirm them on the seller's site before you buy. If we've got something wrong, tell us and we'll correct it.

Installation and safety

Nothing on this site replaces advice from a registered electrician, a builder, your local planning authority or the manufacturer's own instructions. Electrical work, flues and outbuildings are covered by building and planning rules, and those rules decide what you can install.

We link to sellers and other sites we don't control and aren't responsible for their content, products or service. Some links earn us a commission, as set out in ouraffiliate disclosure.
