What a nice product. I purchased an outdoor kitchen, 2 carports, and a Paxton barrel sauna (still assembling) all from Backyard Discovery. Tried the outdoor kitchen first and liked it so much we just kept going. The installation instructions made it a cinch. Sealed with linseed oil and sauna oil which brought out the beautiful color.

As someone who researches everything before buying, I can confidently say this sauna stands out. The build feels premium, and you can tell they use better materials than most competitors. The thicker wood helps keep the heat consistent, and it definitely heats up faster than the last outdoor sauna I owned. It's been worth every penny.

I received this sauna as a Christmas gift and absolutely love it. I use it all the time. I usually set it to 180°F and it reaches about 140°F in roughly 15 minutes, then climbs to 180°F fairly quickly. It seems to connect more reliably through the phone app than the manual controller, which is the only reason I removed one star. Other than that, I’m extremely happy with it and really enjoying it.

AMAZING! The barrel sauna is so beautifully crafted and rich looking. The details in this product are so good, each piece is of the highest quality. We love the way it looks from the outside to the inside of the barrel. The connection to our devices to heat it up from inside the house is such a nice touch. We are incredibly happy with our purchase. Highly recommend.

We love our Outdoor Barrel Sauna! The delivery was easy, the installation was a process but it had clear instructions and was fun to build, and the finished sauna looks great. Since installing it, we have used it just about every day and absolutely love it, it's made us intentionally disconnect from electronics and have a dedicated time and space to connect.

Got it all assembled yesterday. With 1 person, not taking breaks, good mechanical know-how, a nice surface and organization, it took about 8 to 9 hours to assemble. Sometimes I got deterred that there are so many screws to hold a small piece together, but that speaks to the quality feel when assembled and some ober engineering that leads to longevity. Instructions were great and easy to anticipate/know where to look after the 1st few steps. Only tiff is the manual screen is a little dim and LCD so it takes a little to get used to being that we'reall used to our phone screens, but not problem connecting with my phone. Heated up quickly, smells and looks amazing. Perfect size for our deck and our HOA approved it because of the aesthetics. And their rules say "saunas not allowed". Very happy with the purchase and now I have to wait until tomorrow morning to try it out!

I just got our sauna together last weekend and am very happy with it. The materials are very good quality and the finish is very nice. There is plenty of room inside and it heats up quickly. My family is really enjoying it so far. My only complaints were the directions could have been more precise. I feel like I had to do a few steps over because the directions were missing key points. The only other thing I am not happy about is the wi-fi and bluetooth connectivity is not working for me. I get it connectedand then lose it every time. I wish it was just knobs instaed of electronics to work it because these things can get annoying quickly. Other than this I would recommend this sauna to anyone looking for an awsome build.

I bought on New years eve and had it installed immediately. I love the size. If I was able to get the app to connect to my sauna I would give this 5 Stars. My husband and I use it multiple times a week the only thing is not being able to use the app. Delivery was excellent and the BYD team has contacted me throughout my journey honestly one of my best gifts to myself.

We are so impressed by this sauna and thankful we bought it! It was not very complicated to put together, was sent with all the pieces and works so well! Our panel was malfunctioning at first, but they sent us a new one quickly and now it works great. It fits four very comfortably, so our friends are loving it too

A couple years ago, we purchased a sauna online in effort to help survive the long midwest winters. It seemed like a great idea but then it arrived. The roof did not properly sit on the walls, the heater took way too long to get hot, and then the door would let all the heat out anyway. Then we had to go through the hassle of returning the thing. Fast forward a couple of years and we began to be interested in trying to find a sauna again. We were recommended the Paxton by a couple we knew, and following an exhausting amount of research, we took the leap and purchased the Paxton. We have never been happier and will never look back. The sauna is ready in minutes and stays warm despite the sub zero temperatures that we have. I can turn the sauna on from my phone which means we only have to brave the short walk outside. The construction is high quality, sturdy, and is going strong despite near daily use. Our family is feeling healthier, happier, and now making the best of the winter with this sauna. We give it all the stars and then some!
