2-Person vs 3-Person Infrared Sauna
Compare a representative two-person and three-person cabin to understand the footprint, circuit, and delivery jump. This source-based comparison uses published specifications, not personal testing or customer reviews. Confirm the exact current manufacturer manual before purchase or installation; no result, compatibility, or performance is guaranteed.
Choose the two-person Seattle when a 120V/15A circuit and smaller footprint better match the room.
Choose the three-person Hemlock for a wider bench when you can support a dedicated 20A circuit and larger delivery panels.

What changes the answer.
The electrical step is material
Seattle Elite uses a documented dedicated 120V/15A requirement. The three-person Hemlock uses a documented dedicated 120V/20A requirement. Confirm the entire branch circuit rather than treating the change as a different receptacle alone.
The width and freight step is just as important
Seattle measures 48 by 42 inches outside. The three-person Hemlock grows to about 63.5 inches wide while remaining roughly 43.3 inches deep. That extra bench width also means larger wall panels and a more demanding delivery route.
Buy for regular use, not occasional maximum use
A household that normally has one or two users may get more practical value from the smaller cabin. Choose the three-person option when the added bench width will be used often and the room, circuit, and freight path all support it.
Confirm before buying either model
✓ Regular number of users
✓ 15A versus 20A dedicated circuit
✓ Available wall width and assembly clearance
✓ Doorways, stairs, landings, and panel staging
The differences that matter at home
Seattle Elite
Best fit: Couples wanting credible two-person interior space. The documented footprint is 48” W × 42” D × 75” H, and the listed power requirement is 120V / 15A dedicated.
Limitations: Larger footprint than compact cabins. Confirm Elite versus standard variant.
3-Person Hemlock
Best fit: Families wanting a wide straight-wall bench. The documented footprint is 63.5” W × 43.3” D × 74.8” H, and the listed power requirement is 120V / 20A dedicated.
Limitations: Requires dedicated 20A circuit. Large curbside-delivery panels.
