Great Sauna!

I purchased the 4-6 person Backyard Discovery Lennon Outdoor Cube Sauna and we couldn’t be happier. It has so many cool features and works great! The inside has plenty of room to stand up with two benches to sit down. The wood feels much more premium than other saunas in this price range. I am excited about how fast it warms up, which is great for spontaneous sauna sessions. Great investment!

Overall a super unit!

Have had the unit about 2 weeks and use it every day. Its awesome! The delivery was a little wonky, but they were nice. Came extremely well pack and organized. No missing or broken pieces. Instructions were pretty good, I think we few things would be quicker to double up on a few steps. The digital version is slightly different than the printed I noticed. The seat bottom board is tricky to line up. As others noted, the flashing is next to none. While the rain stays out of the roof, it runs off the edge into the trim pieces which then runs inside the unit. Not bad, but not great either. I intend to fix it like the other poster mentioned with black flashing from HD. The quality is amazing for what you get. It heats up at 45 degrees to 180 in about 15m or less. I would say its not a 4 seater, more like 2 and 3 if you are friendly. Be cool to have an upper seat bench and lower to take advantage of the heat higher and cooler lower. The lights are great, although I wish it was built into the unit, even a separate button to turn on/off/dim. The little remote I know is gonna get lost or fail. The keypad takes a bit to get used., Its slow. Im on my second one and its better but not great. They sent a second one out immediately when I asked a question, swapped and it seems better. Im not sure if its related but the first keypad my wifi kept dropping and with the replacement it hasnt dropped once. So Im not sure? The app works great. Again.. one touch to power on.. wait for it to respond. Then timer.. wait. and go! Its a little learning curve, but fine. I had an electrical question that was awkward. It calls for 50amp circuit, but only requires 6awg wire. The book calls for 8awg. My electrician was battling me. We ended up with 8awg and it works fine. You need the neutral wire to power the touch panel. This was 14awg, I used 12awg. I mean, if you are going to put a neutral in there to step down the power to the touch screen, might as well power the LED lights as well right?! It cant be that much more to figure out that to simplify so you dont havent to run a separate 110v extension cord for the LED lights. But really, end of the day, its great with some minor tweaks. Get one and enjoy it!

Fantastic

This sauna has become one of our favorite backyard features! The construction was easy and the thicker wood panels and quality craftsmanship are immediately noticeable. It also heats up faster than our friends’ models, so we can relax without a long wait. We’ve trusted Backyard Discovery ever since we bought our gazebo, and they continue to impress. This sauna feels luxurious and is built to last! Never disappointed  with any of purchased from this company.

Horrible experience

I paid to have it assembled and it's got multiple defects, gaps and the installer is very shady and doesn't respond to text as he's not finished the job. It also took 2-3 weeks sitting in boxes getting weathered but it was covered by me. I called Sam's Club several times which they contacted Backyard Sauna which put a little pressure on the installer and he came out. He gives you a date and time and never shows. His excuse was he had another job. Terrible experience and poor customer service.

Great product and great support

If you read the other reviews, then you will see and hear that this a great product. From purchasing, shipping, receiving, and instructions were great. Building it was great, you just have to make sure you read and look at the instructions. There are only 3 things that I say could be better. 1) The 120v light outlet should be incorporated into the control box. I feel this is an oversight here. 2) There should be a locking mechanism for the door and not just magnets to hold the door closed. This is fine in low wind locations or for people that do not have little kids. I think this is an oversight as well. 3) There needs to be a pan for water collection under the heater. When we first used it, I sat on the lower seat and found the hot water splashes on your feet. Yes it was hot!

Amazing Sauna

Such a great sauna. The ability to turn on by app and fast heat up time are great features. A straightforward build - the instructions and app make it really easy to follow. It took me one full day with a friend. The wood is great quality and holds the heat really well. Highly recommend!

Abysmal assembly scheduling.

I cannot properly review the sauna itself because I have been unable to get it installed despite paying for installation service through Sam's Club. The sauna was delivered and left sitting in my driveway, but nobody contacted me to schedule installation. I spent over an hour on the phone being bounced between Sam's Club, Angi, and Backyard Discovery trying to determine who was actually responsible for the install. Eventually I was told that Backyard Discovery assigned the job to a third-party vendor, but nobody could provide me with an installation date or direct scheduling information. Meanwhile, the large crate is still sitting in my driveway creating HOA concerns because it cannot remain there indefinitely. At this point my frustration is not with the sauna product itself, but with the complete lack of coordination and communication regarding the paid installation service. If you purchase this product with installation included, be prepared for possible delays and difficulty getting clear answers on scheduling.

Amazing

Virtual 3D instructions are the best thing ever invented !!!! Super easy to follow. Love the fact that it highlights all holes and small details so it makes installing easy

Great Quality

This 4-6 person Lennon sauna is amazing! This is the second item I have purchased from Backyard Discovery, and both items have exceeded our expectations. It looks great from the outside and is super spacious and comfortable on the inside. This sauna has some nice features to point out: adjustable  lighting on the inside, heats very quickly-which you can warm at any time with the bluetooth feature. The quality of the wood is very durable and thick. I would give it a ten out of ten. Upon arrival it came with very clear easy to follow directions. We also decided to stain the cedar to match our house, which is a really nice option with the quality of the cedar. The customer service was impeccable. They are available to help with any questions you may have. I highly recommend this sauna!
