Warranty what this means: Warranty The warranty term the manufacturer publishes, in years. Some makers instead warrant the sauna structure for the life of the original owner, which this column shows as "Limited lifetime"; that is a different promise from a fixed number of years and covers the shell rather than the heater, so the two are not ranked against each other.	not verified
Exterior dimensions what this means: Exterior dimensions Three figures as the manufacturer publishes them. The source does not name which is width, depth or height, so this site does not label them either.	72.44 x 71.73 x 86.15 in

Sized from the 8 kW heater by the 125 percent continuous load rule, the minimum is 45 amps on 6 AWG copper. NEC 422 gives the rating marked on a listed appliance authority over that calculation, so both figures can be right; your electrician decides which applies to your run. Check it on the calculator.
