Our take
The Golden Designs Reserve Edition 1-Person Full Spectrum with Salt Bar (GDI-8010-03) is a 1-person infrared cabinet for indoor use, sold by Select Saunas for $3,999 when we last checked on 3 Nov 2026. Among 120 infrared indoor saunas we list, its spec score ranks 65 of 120, and its price compares with a $3,349 median for the group.
Plugs into a standard 120V 15A outlet. That makes it one of the simplest saunas here to set up. Its published size leaves about 10.5 sq ft of footprint per seat.
Strengths
- Strong heat for its type
- Full-spectrum infrared panels

Trade-offs
- Warranty shorter than most similar saunas: Length not stated on the Select Saunas listing

Good fit for
- Renters, or anyone without a spare circuit: it plugs into a standard outlet

Dimensions and installation
- Power. Plugs into a standard 120V 15A outlet (120V, 15A · watts not published). Have a licensed electrician confirm your panel and wiring before you order.
- Floor space. The maker doesn't publish clearances here, so Make Sure It Fits assumes 3 in at the sides and back: plan on about 47 × 40 in of floor.
- Ceiling. At 75 in tall plus our 6 in allowance above, you'd want a ceiling of at least 81 in. Confirm with the manual.
- Doorways. The listing doesn't give the largest delivered piece, so measure your narrowest door or gate and ask the seller.
Warranty and support
The seller's listing doesn't state the warranty length. Ask the seller for the written terms before you buy. source Orders, delivery and warranty claims go through Select Saunas, the seller, and Golden Designs, the maker. Read the written warranty before you buy, because outdoor use and self-installation can change the terms. Our warranty guide lists the questions to ask.
