SaunaLife CL5G Review: The 4-Person Cube Sauna, Honestly Reviewed

I'm Travis Holder, owner of Sauna Realm in Fuquay-Varina, NC, and an authorized SaunaLife dealer. People usually find this page after they've narrowed their search down to the CL5G. This review covers the real dimensions, what isn't in the box, and the questions I'd ask before buying.

SaunaLife CL5G specs

What I like about the CL5G

• Room for four. At 55.1" deep inside, it's the roomiest cube in the series, with a side bench in addition to the two long benches.
• Lie-down length. The 76" top bench fits most adults stretched out.
• Heater guard included. The CL5G kit includes a heater guard, plus a shingle roof kit with drip rails.
• The view. The full bronze glass front turns the yard into part of the room.

What to know before you buy

• The heater is not included. Budget for a heater, stones and a licensed electrician. Most electric sauna heaters need a dedicated 240V circuit. I'll size the right heater for your model and climate on our call.
• Freight is included in the price, and it's curbside delivery. The CL5G arrives on a pallet (1,680 lbs shipping weight). The driver lowers it to the ground at the curb, and getting it to your backyard is up to you. Measure your gate and path before you order, and I'll confirm the crate size for your model.
• You'll need a level base. A compacted gravel pad, pavers or a concrete slab all work. It needs to be level and drain well.
• It's a kit. It comes with a hardware kit and step-by-step instructions. Handy owners assemble it themselves, and others hire a local contractor.
• Ask about lead time. These are handcrafted in Northern Europe. Call before you plan around a date and I'll tell you what current delivery looks like.

CL3G vs CL4G vs CL5G: which cube is right for you?

All three cubes use the same materials, glass front and lighting. Size and bench layout are the differences.

*Price as of November 2026, includes curbside freight delivery to the lower 48 states. Heater not included. See the product page for the current price.

Who the CL5G is for: Families, people who host, and anyone who wants room to spread out. If you'll mostly use it alone or as a couple, the CL3G or CL4G saves money and space.
