   Chen: Besides retailers, websites are a good place to see many of the models available.

   Chen: Sauna prices are extremely competitive today, and many companies are working hard to reduce costs and pass the savings on to consumers. A two-person sauna can now be purchased for less than $2,000.
   ...
   Chen: It is important that sauna heaters are certified in accordance with UL standards, and the equivalent of those standards in countries where saunas are sold other than the U.S.
   
   Much work has been done to increase the number of sauna units that do not require a 20-amp plug, but instead operate within the standards set for 15-amp use. This also means that more people can own a home sauna today without having to invest in costly electrical alterations.
