Best plug-in saunas

Updated 30 Oct 202654 saunas comparedOrdered by our published method

Of the 140 saunas we list, 31 plug into a standard 120V household outlet. Another 23 run on 120V but need their own 20A circuit, which usually means an electrician. Every traditional sauna we list needs 240V.

"Plug-in" can mean two different things

Some sellers call any 120V sauna "plug-in". That hides a real difference. A sauna with a standard NEMA 5-15 plug fits an ordinary outlet. A sauna with a NEMA 5-20 plug draws up to 20 amps and needs an outlet on its own 20A circuit. If you don't already have one where the sauna will go, that's an electrician's job. Even standard-plug makers often say the outlet shouldn't share a circuit with anything else.

Our electrical requirements guide lists the exact plug for every model. Its 120V vs 240V section explains why traditional stoves need the higher voltage. A licensed electrician should confirm what your home can support.

120V saunas that need a dedicated circuit

These still avoid 240V, but they need a 20A circuit used only by the sauna. Many homes already have 20A outlets in kitchens or garages, but they're rarely free of other loads.

All but 1 of these are infrared. The exception is a hybrid that pairs infrared panels with a small stove. Our infrared guide compares them on spectrum and EMF evidence, and our 2-person guide shows the smallest footprints. Running cost depends on wattage, which our operating cost calculator uses directly. If the spot you have in mind is a basement or garage, see our indoor vs outdoor guide.

Questions buyers ask

Can you plug a sauna into a regular outlet?

Some saunas can. 31 of the 140 we list use a standard 120V 15A plug. All of them are infrared.

Do plug-in saunas get hot enough?

They run cooler than traditional saunas by design. The standard-outlet models we list that publish a maximum temperature all give 170°F. The traditional saunas we list publish 170°F and up.

Is there a traditional sauna that plugs into a regular outlet?

None in our catalog. Every traditional and hybrid sauna we list uses a 240V stove that is hardwired to its own circuit.

Do I need an electrician for a plug-in sauna?

Not for the plug itself, if you already have a suitable outlet that isn't shared with other loads. For a 20A model without a free 20A circuit, yes. An electrician can confirm either way.
