to a friend
We had our contractor build the E8 and I am absolutely in love with it. The HUUM heater really gets the inside roasting hot, and the cedar smell when you first open the door is incredible. It looks so traditional sitting on the side of our house. We got our first big rainstorm last week where it just dumped, and the roof and shingles held up beautifully. You can see in the photo there's a little step under the sauna — that didn't come with the kit, our contractor built it from the extra wood (they send a couple of spare pieces in case anything gets damaged in shipping).
The Model E8 in the ERGO series is everything we wanted in a backyard barrel sauna. Two of us fit comfortably with room to stretch out on the benches, and the build quality of the Nordic spruce is excellent. Heats up in about 40 minutes in cool weather.
The freight company dropped it curbside on a pallet and it took my brother and me the better part of a Saturday to assemble. The instructions were clear and the staves are pre-cut so everything lined up well. Only knocked nothing off because it really did go together as advertised. We run it three or four times a week now and it's been rock solid through a Minnesota winter.
Love the sauna overall and the wood is gorgeous. My only gripe is the glass door needed some shimming to seal properly — there was a small gap at the bottom that let heat escape until I adjusted the hinges. Once that was sorted it holds temperature great. Heat-up time is around 45 minutes for me.
I'm a runner and use this almost every day after training. The bench space is comfortable for two and I can lie down on the upper bench after a long run. Curbside LTL delivery was smooth, driver helped me get the pallet into the garage. Assembly was a two-person job over an afternoon. Cannot recommend enough.
The first time we fired it up the whole yard smelled like fresh cedar. We added the optional backrests and it's so comfortable now. Family of four uses it on weekends and the kids love it.
The sauna itself is solid and once assembled it works great and gets plenty hot. Knocking off two stars because one of the staves arrived cracked and the band on the pallet had cut into the wood. Customer service did send a replacement piece, but it added two weeks. If your shipment arrives damaged, document everything before the driver leaves.
We paired ours with the 6kW heater and it gets to 175°F in about half an hour. The barrel shape really circulates the heat evenly so there are no cold corners. Worth every penny.
