Designed for At-Home Wellness

A Spacious Six-Person Interior

Designed for up to six people, the GDI-6996-02EliteBLK offers generous room for enjoying the warmth alone, with a partner, or alongside family and friends.

The sauna measures 73"W × 61"D × 75"H externally, with the roof overhang adding another 6 inches to the depth. Inside, the cabin measures 68"W × 57"D × 72"H.

Near Zero EMF FAR Infrared Heating

The GDI-6996-02EliteBLK is a FAR infrared sauna equipped with 16 Carbon PureTech™ Near Zero EMF FAR infrared carbon heating panels. Unlike the GDI-6996-03-FS Full Spectrum configuration, this model's supplied specifications list FAR infrared carbon panels only and do not list separate Near Infrared elements.

The PureTech™ heating panels are specified at under 3 mG when measured approximately 2–3 inches from the heating panels.

The ideal operating temperature range is 118°F–132°F, with the sauna capable of heating up to 140°F.

Natural Canadian Hemlock

Natural reforested Canadian Hemlock gives the spacious cabin a warm, inviting character that works beautifully within a dedicated indoor wellness environment.

A bronze tinted tempered glass sliding door complements the Hemlock construction while offering convenient access without requiring the additional clearance of a hinged door.



Set the Atmosphere

An oversized interior chromotherapy lighting system allows you to personalize the visual atmosphere inside the cabin, while the integrated red light feature provides an additional lighting option.

Exterior accent lighting adds another layer of illumination, helping the sauna create a distinctive presence within your indoor wellness space.

Enjoy the space while you:

  • Unwind after a busy day
  • Enjoy quiet personal time
  • Share the warmth with family or friends
  • Listen to music or a favorite podcast
  • Enjoy compatible entertainment during your session
  • Create a dedicated wellness space at home



Built-In Entertainment & Audio

The GDI-6996-02EliteBLK includes a DVD player with FM radio, Bluetooth connectivity, an MP3 auxiliary connection, and built-in speakers, giving you multiple ways to enjoy audio and entertainment inside the sauna.

Smart screen functionality is also supported but requires the separate purchase of an Amazon Fire TV Stick.



Interior LED Controls

An interior LED control panel keeps the sauna controls conveniently accessible from inside the cabin.

Together with the integrated lighting, audio, and entertainment features, the control system adds everyday convenience while maintaining the sauna's clean, wood-forward environment.



Dedicated Dual-Circuit Electrical Setup

The GDI-6996-02EliteBLK requires two separate dedicated 20 Amp, 120V outlets supported by two separate 20 Amp breakers. Non-GFCI dedicated receptacles and breakers are required.

This model does not require 220V/240V electrical service. Because of its specific dual-circuit requirements, a certified electrician should be consulted to confirm the appropriate electrical setup before installation.

The sauna features clasp-together assembly, includes a roof vent, and is designed for indoor use only.
