How the picks are chosen. Each pick is the model with the figure its heading names (the lowest verified price, the lowest price per person, or the longest stated warranty) among the barrel saunas that meet that need. Prices are read from named sellers' listings; specifications from the maker's page or a seller listing. A tie on that figure goes to alphabetical order; affiliate links never change a pick or its order. A barrel sauna here is any model with the word barrel in its name as the maker or seller lists it. We do no hands-on testing, and no maker pays for placement.
