Our verdict on each
Bast Sauna
Bast Sauna suits buyers who want a home sauna and a cold plunge from one seller, and prices start at €525.95. Capacity leads the group on seats at 10 people, though its guarantee of 2 years is among the shorter ones and setup is not plug and play.
Jacuzzi
Jacuzzi suits buyers who want a built-in spa from an established maker rather than an inflatable, with room for 9 people and a seat count that ranks 3 of 21. The trade-off is entry price at $5,000 and a delivery charge that sits outside it.

Pros and cons
Bast Sauna
Pros
- Prices from €525.95, well below the €1,402.26 median for this group, so a cold plunge or small sauna is a realistic first buy.
- Covers sauna and cold plunge in one range, where Vellgus offers infrared sauna alone.
- Finance is available and delivery is included, so the listed figure is closer to the figure you pay.
Cons
- Plug and play is not offered, so setup belongs to the buyer.
- Warranty of 2 years ranks 11 of 18 against a group median of 4 years.
- The range is sauna and cold plunge only, against hot tub, inflatable hot tub and swim spa at Saunaloft and hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge at Lay-Z-Spa, so there is no hot tub option here.
Jacuzzi
Pros
- Room for 9 people, which places Jacuzzi 3 of 21 brands on seats max.
- Finance is available, so the $5,000 entry point can be paid over time rather than in a single payment.
- hot tub, swim spa and sauna cover water and heat from one maker, matching the list at Saunaloft in hot tub, inflatable hot tub and swim spa.
Cons
- Delivery included is a no, so $5,000 is not the cost of getting a tub home.
- Price from $5,000 ranks 20 of 25 brands, putting Jacuzzi at the costly end of entry prices.
- Support runs on help centre only, with no direct contact channel listed.
Who each suits
Bast Sauna
Who it suits
- Households ordering a garden sauna and a cold plunge together, who prefer one seller and one delivery.
- Buyers in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the rest of the markets listed under AX, AT and BE.
- Groups who want more seats than most of the field offers, with a seats max of 10 people.
Who should look elsewhere
- Lay-Z-Spa shoppers who want a hot tub or inflatable hot tub beside the plunge, since Lay-Z-Spa lists hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge.
- Vellgus buyers who only want infrared, since Vellgus lists infrared sauna and nothing wider.
- Anyone who needs plug and play, since plug and play is not offered here.
Jacuzzi
Who it suits
- Groups who want the tub to seat everyone at once, since 9 people is the maximum across the range.
- Buyers who want water and heat under one roof, with hot tub, swim spa and sauna from the same maker.
- Shoppers in the markets listed at US, CA and AT, who can buy locally rather than arrange an import.
Who should look elsewhere
- Lay-Z-Spa buyers who want a cold plunge, which appears in hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge but not in Jacuzzi's hot tub, swim spa and sauna.
- Wave Spas Main shoppers who want only hot tub and inflatable hot tub and a shorter list to read through.
- Buyers who need delivery inside the price, since delivery included is a no, and should ask Saunaloft for a delivered quote as well.

Questions about each
Bast Sauna
How much does a Bast Sauna sauna or cold plunge cost to start?+
Prices start at €525.95 on the ice bath collection, well under the €1,402.26 median for the saunas and cold plunges group. Delivery is included at that figure, so the headline number is closer to what you pay than a bare unit price. Larger sauna builds sit above it.
Does delivery cost extra on a Bast Sauna order?+
Delivery is included in the listed price, so the €525.95 starting figure is the number you plan around rather than a unit price plus freight. Sales run across AX, AT and BE, so check your country sits in that list before ordering, since included delivery is stated for the range as sold.
Jacuzzi
How much does a Jacuzzi hot tub cost to start with?+
Jacuzzi lists its entry point at $5,000, which puts it at 20 of 25 brands on price from, so budget for the costlier end of the category. Finance is available, which spreads the outlay over time rather than cutting the price, and delivery is charged on top.
Is delivery included in the price?+
No. Delivery included is a no, so $5,000 does not cover getting a tub to where it will sit. Across the wider field, 63.6% of brands include delivery and 36.4% do not, so it is worth asking every brand for a delivered quote before comparing them on the headline figure.
