Verdict: the Watoga sits between the 2-person Salem and the 4-person Pinnacle. Its 51" benches give two people room to spread out and squeeze in four for short sessions, in a footprint only 12" deeper than the Salem. Watch the heater: Select lists it with a 4.5kW Harvia as standard, with a 6kW upgrade at checkout. This review is based on Almost Heaven’s and Select Saunas’ published specs and prices on Oct 13, 2026. We haven’t tested it ourselves.

Image: Select SaunasWhat stands out: 51" benches are 12" longer than the Salem’s, so two people aren’t shoulder to shoulder, and the 72" × 59" footprint still fits a modest patio. You can add a 20" × 36" vista rear window and choose glass, wood-with-window or all-wood doors. Tradeoffs: the standard 4.5kW heater is smaller than the Salem’s and Pinnacle’s 6kW, so budget for the upgrade if you want the same heater. Benches are too short to lie down for most adults, and there’s no porch. Select says two people can usually assemble it in six hours or less with a cordless drill.
