1-person saunas compared
The short answer
Irish sellers list 5 one-person saunas, from €2,099 to €3,250. For most people the best fit is a 1-person infrared cabin: the lowest prices, a small footprint, often a standard socket, and about €0.47 a session to run. A compact traditional cabin costs about the same to buy but gives higher heat and steam.

What to check
- Footprint and height. Measure the spot, including space for the door to open and air around the cabin.
- Power. Get the kW rating and ask whether it runs from a standard socket. See electrical requirements.
- What's included. Delivery, assembly and the warranty on the cabin and the heater or panels.
- Who it's for. If a second person might use it, a 2-person cabin is a small step up in price.
