↓ 5 claims about home saunas, checked
You'll need an electrician before you can use it
This is the most repeated claim about home saunas, and it depends entirely on the model. The Peak Fuji is built around a specific electrical requirement, not a generic household plug, so check this before assuming either way.
The Peak Fuji runs on a 120V / 20A outlet.
A home sauna takes over the room it's in
People picture something closer to a shed. The Peak Fuji is sized for two people, not a crowd, which keeps its footprint closer to a large piece of furniture than a room addition.
The Peak Fuji is built for a 2-Person capacity.
Red light therapy is an expensive add-on
On a lot of wellness equipment, red light is an upsell. On the Peak Fuji, it isn't something you add later or pay more to get.
Medical-grade red light therapy comes included standard on the Peak Fuji.
Shipping something this heavy will cost you extra
A cabin, a heater system, and cedar panelling add up to real weight, and freight for that kind of weight is usually where the bill grows. That's not how this one is handled.
PEAK offers free shipping on all orders.
A warranty like this is really just a marketing line
Limited lifetime warranty; full terms by component are published on the warranty page. What matters is whether it's broken down by part, and for how long each part is actually covered.
Coverage breaks down by component, with longer terms for heating elements and cabinetry than for electronics.

Questions buyers ask
Does the Peak Fuji need special electrical work?
Yes, it needs a dedicated circuit rather than a shared household plug, so check your outlet before delivery. This is a plug-and-go question worth confirming ahead of time, not an assumption to make either way.
How hot does it actually get?
The Peak Fuji heats up to 150°F. It uses a full spectrum infrared range across near, mid, and far wavelengths rather than one single heat type.
Is red light therapy really included, or is that an upsell later?
It's included standard, not an add-on you pay for afterward. Every Peak Fuji ships with it built in.
What's actually covered under the warranty?
Coverage varies by component rather than being one blanket number. Limited lifetime warranty; full terms by component are published on the warranty page.
What happens if I need to return it?
Returns require the unit to be disassembled and repacked in its original crate, and a 25% restocking fee applies with the customer covering return shipping. Cancelling before it ships carries a smaller 5% fee instead.
Is shipping really free, even for something this heavy?
Yes. PEAK offers free shipping on all orders, including heavier freight items that ship with a scheduled delivery appointment.
How many people fit in the Peak Fuji at once?
It's built for two people. If you need more seating than that, a larger model is worth comparing.
