The size of this 1-2 person elite is perfect for in-home use. Definitely a one person sauna, but more roomy than some of the “little box saunas” you see out there. Both myself and my teenage daughter... See more

Excellent experience

Received a good deal with shipping included. Lead time was accurately estimated. Everything was delivered and assembled without issue. No complaints.

I ordered the Barcelona at the end of February. On their website it said shipping in Mid March. Its April and still no word on the sauna. Tried to email, call and live chat with no response. Finally had to file a dispute with the credit card company to get a response. Representative replied that they have trouble with their phone lines. But I tried every way possible to contact them. Saw this excuse used with another customer. If it is the case, why not just use a dedicated cell for business use? Finally got word the item was shipped on 4/5

Hey Daniel,

There were some unforeseen delays in the restock of the Barcelona, which resulted in the containers arriving portside about 2 weeks later than anticipated. We do apologize. It is back in stock as of early this week and your order is shipping tomorrow, 4/4. The tracking number will be with you by Friday at the latest.

I have responded to your inquiries privately. I do apologize for the delay in those, as we were having some technical issues with our phone line. All is back to normal again, and you can expect us available 10 AM-4 PM M-F MT.

Thank you for your patience, Daniel!

Fantastic customer service, ability to make modifications to order with fair pricing, owners got involved in order to ensure satisfaction, and material was packaged well with great build quality. Highly recommend.

Communication is terrible

Communication is terrible. Lead time was off by a factor of 2, no communication on delays- I had to reach out every time just to know what was going on with my thousands of dollars purchase. You want a call back or your voicemail returned? It’s not happening.

Changed an item on the order to an item that was offered free several weeks later. They wanted to charge me more! Price matching? How about you price match yourself?

Customer service was green, so I can cut you some slack, but generally it was atrocious. No promised follow-ups, a lot of “I don’t know what to do let me get back to you.” Simple things. I had to request invoices. Thank goodness I did or I would likely not be getting the correct order.

Order shipped without a heater, it was back ordered, no communication. Heater shipped with the wrong control unit.. I have a feeling I’ll be fighting with them to get the unit I paid for shipped to me in a reasonable time.

The only reason this gets 2 stars is because the product is great. I just want to be able to use it the way I intended and not have to jump through hoops to get quality support and my order correct.

Edit 3/14: Thanks for the response Chris, but no the issue has not been resolved. I do not have the wifi control unit that I ordered and you have not provided a solution.

Hey Kurt,

Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it, and I am truly sorry about the communication and backorder issues regarding your order.

In full transparency, we've been having some issues with our CRM communication system and it has made certain messages seemingly disappear out of thin air. I am really sorry about the issues this has caused. With that said, I am happy you are happy with the product, and am happy this could ultimately be resolved.

Thank you for your feedback. It really helps me out.

Misrepresentation

We recently purchased a sauna after a great deal of research to find an American made sauna that would work in our older home. Select Saunas had one on their website that seemed to fit our needs. The website clearly stated it was 15 amps but on arrival, we discovered that it is 20 amps which our circuitry cannot support. The literature in the box also indicates 15 amps. We reached out to customer service who initially advised us to purchase an adapter. After speaking to an electrician, they advised against it. I reached out to customer service again only to be told that we would need to pay return shipping as well as a 25% restocking fee. Why should I have to pay for their inaccurate advertising and misrepresentation of the product? Not trustworthy at all.

Hi Mary,

This is a non-issue! :)

Sorry to hear you got spooked by the sauna and left this review. We'll continue providing great service, as we have, to find the best solution for you.

You reached out to us stating you'd like to return the sauna just because it's 20 amps (not 15), but that would honestly be very unreasonable and highly unnecessary.

While we do officially recommend that you have an electrician come and swap out your outlet to a 20 amp outlet, in the manufacturer's showrooms, a simple adapter is used that can be purchased from Home Depot for less than $10. I imagine you'd be able to find this at any local hardware store, and they've had no issues thus far with running this adapter.

However, if you would like to go the route of swapping out the 15 amp outlet for a 20 amp with your electrician, let us know and we can help out.

Thank you,
Chris

So I was very doubtful in the beginning since I didn't really know if they were credible or not, but after having a short call with customer support, I instantly felt reassured in their competence in helping me in my special situation.

Thank you Select Saunas for helping pick my new favourite sauna!

Hi Peter, thanks for leaving a review although poor. I appreciate every ounce of feedback I can get. Lately, we have been unexpectedly swamped and it's now that I have brought a new team member on that we are back on track again. My apologies for my response taking a few days to get to you - I didn't mean to spook you with the back-ordered heater. Take a look at my email, I have a suggestion in terms of upgrading the KIP80W to the Spirit SP80E and having that shipped out today or tomorrow.

Let me know your thoughts on that in the thread or by giving me a call any time.

Thanks for your trust and feedback.

The product is great

The product is great, the installation instructions could be better. Some elements need a more detailed description or photos, especially the installation of the door!

Tracking missing order

I had an order that I did not receive & contacted the company. Chris A. responded very quickly & tracked down the issue & sent out another product. I would highly recommend this company.

This was a horrible experience from…

This was a horrible experience from beginning to end. Although they did communicate after over a month of nonstop emails, i didn’t receive product until 2 months later. When shipment arrived the loader didn’t have tool adn pallet broken. (Had to manually unload sauna). To be fair, Chris was responsive after asking to send extra parts because of cheap wood. However , new parts were incorrectly milled and the whole sauna was off balance. This Sauna was made very low quality for the price I paid.

Wouldn’t recommend select sauna. They have a good sale until order is made and now nobody is responding to my discrepancy. Very disappointed in product and customer service.

Find someone else that has better quality and honest salespeople.

Hi Amir,

I just reached out via email to discuss this - I'd be interested in knowing what changed your mind regarding our service. Could you elaborate there?

I've reached out about a partial refund for you, for the carpenter cost, and I'll check with the manufacturer to see if they have any tips on how to "correct" the sauna. Usually, this isn't an issue at all and we can send over any extra lumber, parts needed, etc at no cost of course.

Please check your inbox. I look forward to making this right with you.

HSA approved and quick delivery

The selection process was fun and the options many. The shipping scheduler communicated every step and the freight / delivery driver went the extra step and delivered the pallet down the driveway to my garage door. Assembly was a breeze with little help.

We absolutely love our Almost Heaven…

We absolutely love our Almost Heaven Audra 2-4 Person Canopy Barrel Sauna from Select Saunas. My husband was able to build and install it himself. We love the look and design of the sauna, and have enjoyed it nightly since we got it. We have only had 2 adults in it so far, and that is a very comfortable fit. Select Saunas' customer service was exceptional throughout the ordering process.
