Used for the first time yesterday, heated the sauna well, no complaints, and it looks very attractive. The directions it comes with are a disaster, and you will basically be putting it together by yourself, fortunately there are YouTube videos out there that helped greatly, otherwise I would have been completely lost. Also, the manual says you need a 50A breaker, but the module box has a sticker that says 60A, so again more confusion from Huum
Everything from Nordica went great. The SaunaLife X7 had 2 walls with warped wood which made assembly difficult and close to impossible but we were able to muscle it together. Not sure if I would order another SaunaLife product
It takes a long time to heat up. Almost a hour from being in a room that is 68 degrees
These are a must in the infrared saunas.. makes it more comfortable to lean back.

I have reached out to customer service regarding my malfunctioning control panel with no help or response from customer service. The panel appears to be slightly defective as the plastic is delaminating and there is separation at the seams of the unit. I have asked for a replacement to be provided as this issue was mentioned immediately upon installation but have received zero responses. Since reaching out
Love our new Avila sauna. Delivery was great and assembly very easy. Definitely recommend.
We wanted a bench we could lie down on. Wanted a view. Wanted a quality product that would withstand the elements. Kept coming back to the Saunalife saunas. We bought the EE6G and love it. Turned a Dead Space in the yard into an awesome location! No regrets.
So far so good. I’m still learning how to use all the functions
Who wants to admit he spent $300 on a seat cushion? Nordica's request for a review gave me a rueful chuckle.
That said, it does make the FD-1 seat much more comfortable, particularly after I extended the seat 2 inches out from the rear wall, giving much needed support and eliminating the falling-forward feeling I had with the seat inserted fully to the wall.
So I'm glad I bought the damned thing, taking off a star only to assuage my chagrin at my profligacy.
This sauna is something else man. It couldn’t have come into my life at a better time. I was at an all time low, but it has brought back in the light. Thank you, Nordica.
I don’t use it but my wife does. She loves it! We kept them in the living room until the sauna was built because they smell awesome!
We love our new sauna. It does take a bit of time to heat up-probably about 30 mins. Someone in the family has used it almost everyday since we put it together two weeks ago. It will be used all winter long!
Have always read good things about regular sauna use but never had the extra time or felt guilty for using the extra time in the sauna at the gym. My use there was spotty at best. Now that I have access to our own Sauna it has become a daily ritural and is something that I look forward to. I sleep better, my skin feels and looks better and I have had less respiratory issues than I have had in years past, espeically during these cold winter months. If you are on the fence, just do it! Your health is important and doing something good for yourself is not thowing away money, its an investment in your wellbeing and that friends is invaluable!
The sauna showed up on a massive pallet and was rolled into my garage by the delivery driver. Everything was very securely packaged and I had no damaged parts. Assembly was fairly easy, and two of us had the whole process completed in about 1.5 hours, although you will likely need 3-4 people to get the boxes off the pallet. The sauna is very high quality and is a wonderful wellness treat for our family!
This is a quality product. Definitely a project to put together but amazing in the end. Extremely well made. Couldn’t be happier with this sauna
I ordered my 2nd Auroom sauna from nordica after a great first experience. 2nd order took much longer than expected due to delays from suppliers but they were communicative throughout. They did what they could to make it right and that’s all you can ask for as a buyer.
Engineered great EXCEPT for the fact that the chimney connection should fit inside of the pipe not over it. Could be a potential problem at some point. The stove itself is nice and works well.
I’ve used the sauna quite a few times. I put a digital thermometer in there. And the temp reads about 138. Not 150 like the sauna thermometer says. That’s a little disappointing
Good looking compared to others, works well. Easy to install. The instructions could definitely use improvement.
On the expensive side, but there aren't many options.
I recommend a hearth pad underneath the heater and not placed directly on a combustible surface.
I’m a 5’10 260 pound former competitive bodybuilder and fit great in the sauna. After a month or so of use I have to say Im impressed.
Incredibly happy with the sauna. High quality, easy build, great support from the company
Thank you, Brandon! Hope you enjoy your Salem barrel sauna!
I tried the Harvia M3 woodstove only once -- It seems like a good woodstove -- the sheet metal on the outside buckled a little bit after starting the first fire but did not impact the performance -- when I get the sauna built I will give an update
So far, I’ve received my gas heaters, but no saunas yet to try and review something that’s sitting on the shop on my floor and I haven’t used would be kind of silly. I’ll let you know when I receive my saunas and so I can install them.
