SS That's expensive for 1 FIR panel. The 3 panel is more !!
The sauna's that you buy today are portable. They get put up in sections. Floor, sides, back, front with door and top. It takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour to put one together. My husband and I put ours up in 1 hour.
If you are going to spend that amount of money get a regular sauna. You can put it up, take it down in no time. It takes longer to unpack the box than to put it up.
I have the Elixir Therapy, great sauna with the original Japanese medical heaters but it took 6 weeks before mine was built. Now, I understand it is taking 3 months.
They are made in the USA and use the carbon Japanese FIR medical heaters. I asked for a discount and they gave me 15% off.
There are a lot of sauna's out there but in my opinion, I would stick to the FIR regular sauna's not the portable, which you linked, not enough panels and too expensive.
I have a one person Elixir Zen which really holds two people and I start sweating when it hits 100 degrees.
Also it is important to find out if the sauna is putting out mostly far infrared rays or medium or short rays.
I chose the Elixir because it puts out mostly far infrared rays. I researched sauna's for about 2 months before I made a decision. I am totally happy with the Elixir.
You might want to try one out before buying, some spa's are now offering IFR sauna's.
I used the ceramic heater sauna at a spa and it was terrible, it burned my skin where it was exposed to the rods. That's why I decided to go with the carbon heaters. Also the carbon is the latest in heaters.
Anyway, that's just my opinion.

Some dome saunas are as expensive if not more expensive as 1-2 person Carbon infrared wood units. They don't take up that much space, a 4 foot by 4 foot space is needed and they can be easily disassembled and moved. Costco online had a really good deal on a 1-2 person carbon infrared sauna. So check pricing would be my first thought.
Make sure any sauna is infrared with non-toxic material (certain woods can emit toxins as can plastic). The benefits of infrared are never ending - a really good link about the benefits are here, scroll UP to see all the different subjects regarding it: http://www.jashbotanicals.com/articles/far_infrared_saunas_2.html#healing
I love my sauna, my LLMd recommended it and I am so happy I got it. Make sure to check w/your LLMd.
