Great sauna

Honestly impressed with this sauna. The wood is nice and thick, so it feels solid and well-built, not flimsy at all. You can tell it’s made to last. What surprised me most is how fast it heats up — no long waiting around. It’s become my favorite way to unwind after a long day. If you’re looking for a durable outdoor sauna that gets hot quick, the Lennon from Backyard Discovery is a great choice.

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.

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!

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.

Great Product

This sauna doesn't just work great, it looks gorgeous in the backyard. The wood finish is elegant and feels high-end, and it really makes our outdoor space look so nice. The heat spreads evenly throughout the sauna, and the Wi-Fi heat control make it super easy to get to your preferred temperature fast and consistently. I highly recommend this sauna.

Aesthetically STUNNING!!!

What impressed me most about the Lennon sauna is how well everything works together. From the structural components to the heating system, it’s clearly engineered as a complete system. The smart control panel is intuitive, and the ability to adjust temperature and lighting easily adds convenience. The steel roof and durable materials make it feel built to last for years. It’s spacious, comfortable, and aesthetically stunning. This is a five-star product in every sense.

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.

Love Love Love!

We absolutely love our Backyard Discovery 4–6 person sauna! Compared to competitors we looked at, the wood in this sauna feels much thicker, more durable, and clearly built to last. I workout all the time and cannot wait to use this after my workouts. It heats up noticeably faster than other models we’ve seen, which means less waiting and more relaxing. Plus the bluetooth and adjustable light feature allows me to set the temperature and lights ahead of time. We already have a Backyard Discovery gazebo in our backyard, which is incredible. We continue to get rave reviews on the gazebo and now I know we will get the same on the sauna. The quality of this sauna lives up to the same high standard. If you want a well-constructed, efficient sauna that feels premium at every touchpoint, this is it!

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!
