This truly is a sauna for Finns

I am a Finn so I have been to many saunas in Finland, electric, wood burning, smoke and I have to say I am impressed with the Lennon sauna. Assembly was easy, instructions logical, everything in the design was great and it looks beautiful. I stained it outside to add to weather proofing and to better match it with my house. Yesterday was time to test it. I was surprised how fast the sauna heated. I set it to 80C and it was plenty to give nice and crispy "löyly". I feel like a real Finn again!

Very good unit. Only complaint is control interfac

I bought this a month ago and have used it consistently since then. Set up is very easy and they did a great job with the instructions. No missing parts, easy to follow, and the pre-drilled pilot holes were surprisingly accurate. As far as using it: Heats up very fast and maintains heat well; I love being able to use an app to turn it on from the house but the app (Tuya) is just awful. Perhaps they could use a different 3rd party app. Also the touchscreen interface that sits on the exterior is borderline useless. The touch is so non-responsive that its as if its broken. Also, you may want to put a cover over the screen so that it is not burned by the sun. Overall, still 5 stars. But this company needs to hire an interface designer next time they attempt a control unit..

Love this Sauna

I bought the Lennon 2-4 person unit a month ago and have made sauna sessions a daily routine. I have loved my experience with our sauna unit and would recommend. We had on part missing from our kit upon arrival and BYD was quick to ship the replacement part within a couple of days.

Worth it

Bought this a few months ago. This product is amazing. It took some time to put together but it was worth it. We leave in Michigan. so we decided to put ice guard on the top before we did the metal roof. We also had to caulk around the metal roof and wood edge. Now we have absolutely no water leaking in. There is definitely extra cost but for us it was worth it.

Good sauna so far

Just got my sauna installed. I have used is once and it heated up good but it was already pretty warm out. I don't think it would fit 6 people in the box maybe 4 people. I love the depth of the benches. I could lay down comfortably in top or bottom bench. The ladle is nice can't burn yourself because its so long. Love that

Game changer

I've had this sauna up and running for about 3 weeks now and absolutely love it. I decided to build it myself and had it completed in a little over 10 hours. It would have definitely went quicker with 2 people but it really wasn't bad at all and the instructions on the app are easy to follow. The only negative I've found was the heater would trip the overheat switch if I turned it on to heat to 194 but since switching to heating up to 176 and then increasing heat from there it has helped eliminating it overheating on the initial warmup. I would highly recommend this product as well as Backyard Discovery

Good instructions - heats up quickly!

We ordered this sauna for our Airbnb property and it has been great so far! The setup took 12ish hours with two people. The instructions were helpful. I would recommend having a rope for putting it together. We didn't and it made it tricky to get everything aligned up top. The sauna heats up very quickly and we are happy with the purchase!

Great value, but needs some TLC

Sauna gets hot fast and performs great for the price. However, you have to work around some quirks with the heater controls. 1. Temperature sensor is not calibrated quite right, and the heater emergency shut off will turn off the heater early if you set it too high (keep is under 176F if it's humid). 2. Arranging the rocks so they touch the metal heater enclosure also usually makes the shut off trigger, so I keep limited rocks only in the center of the heater. 3. If the main power switch isn't reset regularly, sometimes the heater never turns off at the correct temperature, and once again the emergency shut off switch triggers. You have to completely turn off the main power and restart it, which sucks if you're in the middle of a session. 4. It does tend to collect water, so I would turn it on regularly if you have lots of rain or humid weather to avoid mold growth. 5. Wood warps when it gets wet and dries. Sometimes the door doesn't quite fit. For the price, it's outstanding, but don't expect a seemless experience.

Amazing Find!

The Lennon 4–6 Person Sauna exceeded is perfect for what we were looking for. The design alone is stunning, the modern cube shape with rounded corners makes it look like a luxury spa feature in our backyard. The heater is incredibly efficient. It heats up noticeably faster than other saunas we researched, and the heat distribution is even and consistent throughout the entire space. The cedar interior smells amazing and feels solid and high quality. The Wi-Fi control is a huge convenience. Being able to preheat it from my phone means it’s ready when I am. The dimmable LED lights create a relaxing atmosphere, and the included bucket and ladle make the steam experience feel authentic. The craftsmanship is top-tier, from the tempered glass door to the sturdy steel roof. This is a premium product through and through.

Easy to assemble

We did a lot of research before choosing the Lennon sauna, and the build quality truly stands out. The cedar construction feels durable and well-crafted, and the tongue-and-groove panels fit together seamlessly. Even the roof is heavy-duty, which is important being we live in the midwest with many climate changes.   Inside, it’s surprisingly spacious. Four adults can sit comfortably without feeling crowded. The benches are solid and supportive, and the heat retention is impressive thanks to the thick tempered glass door and tight construction.
