Our verdict on each
Harvia
Harvia suits buyers who want a maker covering sauna, infrared sauna, hot tubs and cold plunges, with an entry price of €2,490. The trade-off runs the other way on cover and size: the warranty runs 2 years and the largest hot tub seats 6 people.
Spadeluxe
Spadeluxe suits German home owners who want a fixed, high-capacity setup rather than a cheap inflatable, and it sells into DE only. It trades entry price for build quality, with 10 years of cover and seating for 7 people behind every tub.

Pros and cons
Harvia
Pros
- Catalogue covers sauna, infrared sauna and hot tub, the only mix on this shortlist that pairs saunas and infrared saunas with hot tubs and cold plunges.
- Entry price of €2,490 comes in under the hot tub median of €3,014.93.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, giving a phone line and a help centre rather than email alone.
Cons
- Warranty of 2 years sits under the sauna and cold plunge median of 4.
- Largest hot tub seats 6 people, under the hot tub median of 8, so party sized layouts are out of reach.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no chat line and no community forum.
Spadeluxe
Pros
- Warranty of 10 years runs well past the hot-tub median of 2, the strongest point on the page.
- Finance and included delivery together mean the €5,238 entry price can be spread with no separate freight line.
- Plug and play tubs with a heater of 3 to 5.25 kW keep commissioning work down.
Cons
- The infrared cabin entry price of €5,238 puts Spadeluxe at 22 of 25 brands on price from, so it needs justifying against cheaper shells.
- It sells into DE only, so anyone outside that market has no route to a dealer.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no live chat in that set.
Who each suits
Harvia
Who it suits
- Buyers who want sauna, infrared sauna, hot tubs and cold plunges from the same supplier, where Lay-Z-Spa's hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge stop at the tub and plunge side.
- Buyers who want a cold plunge next to a sauna, which Saunaloft's hot tub, inflatable hot tub and swim spa does not cover.
- Price led buyers who want an entry point of €2,490 without giving up saunas, unlike hot tub and inflatable hot tub at Wave Spas Main.
Who should look elsewhere
- Inflatable first shoppers, who should read hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge at Lay-Z-Spa since Harvia's sauna, infrared sauna and hot tub carries no inflatable model.
- Buyers after a swim spa, which Saunaloft lists in hot tub, inflatable hot tub and swim spa and Harvia does not.
- Big group tub buyers, since the largest Harvia hot tub seats 6 people where the hot tub median reaches 8, the size argument hot tub and inflatable hot tub at Wave Spas Main also plays.
Spadeluxe
Who it suits
- German home owners who want a fixed shell tub with 7 people seats and a 10 years warranty behind it.
- Buyers who want tubs and saunas from the same seller, given a hot tub, swim spa and sauna range.
- Anyone who would rather spread the €5,238 outlay, since finance is available and delivery is included.
Who should look elsewhere
- Lay-Z-Spa, whose hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge range is built around inflatable formats and a cold plunge, so it suits buyers after a portable tub rather than a fixed shell.
- Saunaloft, whose hot tub, inflatable hot tub and swim spa range adds inflatable hot tubs to the same hot-tub, swim-spa and sauna core.
- Wave Spas Main, whose hot tub and inflatable hot tub range is limited to hot tubs, so the sauna and swim-spa side sits elsewhere.

Questions about each
Harvia
What does a Harvia sauna or hot tub start at?+
Harvia lists prices from €2,490 across its shop. That entry point sits below the hot tub median of €3,014.93 but above the sauna and cold plunge median of €1,402.26, so the cheapest way in depends on which part of the catalogue you are buying.
How long is the Harvia warranty?+
Warranty runs 2 years. That matches the hot tub median of 2 and sits under the sauna and cold plunge median of 4. If you plan many seasons of use, read the terms closely, since the upper end of this field reaches 32.25 years.
Spadeluxe
What does a Spadeluxe spa cost to start with?+
The listed entry price is €5,238 for the infrared cabin range, which puts Spadeluxe at 22 of 25 brands on price from. Delivery is included, so the figure carries no separate freight line. Finance is available if that outlay needs spreading rather than paying in a single hit.
Where can Spadeluxe deliver?+
Spadeluxe sells into DE, and delivery is included on that route. The support team and the legal entity sit in the same country, which keeps the chain short for a heavy, bulky product. Buyers outside that market would need to look elsewhere, since DE is the only stated route.
