I’ve built a dozen saunas for friends and families over the years. Both electric and wood-fired. This heater works just as well as the name brand stoves. In fact, this stove is near identical to the Finnleo stove, which I closely compares this stove to. When I looked closely at the hearing elements they have “Finnleo” stamped on them! Meaning this thing is likely made at the same Chinese factory as the stove you’re paying $1100 for. All said, the name brand ones probably have better QA/QC, but for a fifth of the price I can get by. Bottom line, the fit and finish were fine, the thing works as advertised, and I covered up the unsigntly VEVOR tools slogan (get rid of that Vevor) on the front by covering it with a small Finnish magnet flag.
