Barrel Sauna
ALEKO Aster 4-Person Barrel Sauna
The ALEKO Aster provides a solid outdoor traditional sauna experience with integrated porch seating and a reliable Harvia heater. While it is marketed for up to 5 people, it realistically fits 4 sitting comfortably or 2 adults if anyone wants to lie down.
SaunaGrade Buyer's Analysis
Constructed from aromatic red cedar with 38 mm thick staves, this barrel sauna handles outdoor weather decently while providing the classic wood scent and thermal mass typical of cedar builds. The 8 mm tempered glass door and tinted finish help retain heat while offering some privacy during outdoor use.
Powered by a UL-certified 6 kW Harvia KIP heater, this unit reaches operating temperatures between 158 and 194 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that a 6 kW heater typically requires a dedicated 240V electrical connection, so you will need to budget for an electrician during installation. The package comes remarkably complete with stones, a bucket and ladle, a hygrometer, a sand timer, and even built-in Bluetooth audio and LED lighting.
