E6 3-Person Outdoor Barrel Sauna

A 3-seat thermowood barrel at $4,390, the second-cheapest barrel by price, 10 percent above the barrel median per seat, with no heater or warranty data.

E6 is the only 3-seat barrel in our data, and at $4,390 only the Almost Heaven Salem at $4,037 undercuts it among barrels. At $1,463 per seat it sits in the middle of the 37 barrels (23rd). It measures 59.1 by 80.7 inches and 84.6 tall, 1,202 pounds, a kit.

The E7 adds a seat for $800 and brings the cost per seat down to $1,298, which is the better buy if you can use the room. What you are not told is the heater power or any warranty, while the Salem lists 6 kW and a lifetime warranty. If you want thermowood for a small group, the E6 gives you a low price and less certainty. Ask for the missing numbers before you order. Topture and Recovery for Athletes both list it at $4,390.
