Amazing Quality, Service and Price

The customer experience was excellent from start to finish, and the sauna itself is wonderful. It was easy to put together and made of beautiful materials. We had to delay the shipping 3 times because of construction issues and it was never a problem. Everything arrived on time and deliveries were communicated well. We had lots of questions and everyone at Redwood Outdoors was so patient. Plus it was significantly less expensive than the other saunas we looked at.

8-Person Sauna for Short Term Rental

We purchased a sauna for our short-term rental property and could not be more pleased! The sales team walked me through all of the various sauna and accessory options and we put together a package that was perfect for our needs. The quality of the products are top notch. We'd definitely recommend Redwood Outdoors to anyone looking for great quality at a reasonable price point!

No ability to answer technical questions

Our Alaskan cold plunge is leaking what appears to be motor lubricant into our tub.

The support tech couldn’t tell us anything but “try flushing it”, wouldn’t escalate, then stopped answering calls.

We now have a several thousand dollar paper weight that may be toxic to use. Extremely unhappy about this from a company that is supposed to be top tier.

Great Sauna, But Extremely Long Heat Up Times

Overall, I think Redwood Outdoors offers a solid sauna, but prospective buyers should know about my experience.

I purchased the 4-Person Cabin Sauna with the Harvia Virta 8kW heater because I wanted a setup capable of reaching very high temperatures. Before purchasing, I was told this combination should heat the cabin in roughly 30–60 minutes. In reality, mine consistently takes 60–120 minutes, even though the heater is arguably oversized for this cabin.

Customer support started off very well. I spoke with three different representatives, all of whom agreed that my heat-up time didn't seem normal. They initially suspected either a heater issue or another problem with the installation, and for over a month Redwood acted as the middleman between me and Harvia while we troubleshot the system.

Eventually, I contacted Harvia directly. That made the process much more efficient. Redwood typically responded every 24–48 hours, while Harvia was available by phone and we could troubleshoot in real time. If you're having heater-specific issues, I'd recommend contacting Harvia directly rather than going through Redwood.

During the troubleshooting process, I verified that the electrical supply was correct, confirmed with Harvia that the heater was operating as designed, and tested the sauna under a variety of conditions. After eliminating the heater as the source of the problem, it became clear that the issue was likely with the cabin itself rather than the heater.

Once Harvia confirmed the heater was operating properly, Redwood's position changed. I was told that my expectation of heating the cabin in under an hour was unrealistic, despite that expectation being based on what I had been told before purchasing. Communication also became increasingly slow and eventually stopped altogether.

Since then, I've had a local sauna installer evaluate the cabin. They identified several construction issues that they believe are allowing excessive heat loss. Based on their assessment, they are confident they can correct the problems and significantly improve performance. We haven't completed that work yet because we're preparing for a home renovation and will be relocating the sauna anyway.

I expect the sauna will ultimately perform the way it was described when I purchased it, but it will likely require around $1,500 in additional work beyond what I anticipated. In the meantime, we're also paying more in electricity because the sauna has to run nearly twice as long to reach the temperatures we were expecting.

I believe my situation is probably the exception rather than the rule. I also recognize that I'm likely looking for performance that's closer to a custom-built sauna without spending $30,000 or more. After researching many competing sauna kits before and after my purchase, I still believe Redwood Outdoors offers one of the stronger options in this price range.

While I do recommend Redwood Outdoors, I also think it's helpful for prospective buyers to understand both the strengths of the product and the possibility that, if you happen to run into an issue like mine, you may need to be persistent in getting it resolved. At the end of the day, this is a kit sauna rather than a fully custom installation, and my experience was that some troubleshooting and fine-tuning ultimately fell on me as the owner. Going into the purchase with that expectation will likely make for a better overall experience.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thorough and thoughtful review. We truly appreciate the level of detail you provided, as well as the balanced perspective on both your experience and the product itself.

We're sorry the performance of your sauna did not align with your expectations and understand how frustrating it can be to invest significant time troubleshooting an issue. While we worked alongside you throughout the process, we recognize there were aspects of the experience that left you disappointed, particularly surrounding communication and resolution.

We also sincerely appreciate your acknowledgment of the strengths you found in both the product and our team, as well as your recommendation of Redwood Outdoors to others. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving our products, our communication, and the overall ownership experience.

Thank you again for choosing Redwood Outdoors and for sharing your experience so candidly. We genuinely hope your upcoming improvements allow you to enjoy the sauna exactly as you envisioned for years to come.

Greatest sauna, greatest staff!

My sauna is incredible and the staff at Redwood Outdoors are amazing and wonderful. Every one who tries my sauna says it is the best sauna they have ever used--in a class of it's own. It is truly transformative! This sauna has been designed with every detail in mind to create the perfect experience. I was afraid that I would be in over my head with such a project, but with Brad and the team at Redwood Outdoors I was completely supported with accessible, knowledgeable and dear good people. By the time the project was completed they felt like family. I love my sauna, I love Redwood Outdoors! (even the people who deliver the sauna are excellent and a cut above!)
