- 11–12. Delivery and installation
- Assembly cost: included installation at A$0 additional only within Nook’s stated free service area. This is not an Australia-wide free offer. Nook defines the free area as within 80 km of Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane, plus the immediate Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Newcastle and Canberra areas. The published scope includes delivery, assembly, testing, a use walkthrough and packaging removal.
Coverage limit: outside the free radius, Nook says the customer is invoiced separately based on distance. Beyond Nook’s paid-delivery radius, Nook does not provide delivery or installation and the buyer must arrange courier collection of the flat-packed sauna and assembly. Nook also warns that checkout may still display “Free Delivery” without verifying the postcode. Confirm eligibility in writing before payment.
Published wait: Elite 3 is about 2–4 weeks; Ultra 2 is about 2–4 weeks or 25 August–10 September 2026 depending on city.
Timing detail checked 2026-08-07: Ultra 2 lists Melbourne at 2–3 weeks, Brisbane/Gold Coast/Sunshine Coast and Adelaide at 3–4 weeks, and Perth, Sydney/Canberra and Newcastle/Central Coast at 25 August–10 September 2026. Confirm the exact model, stock allocation and installation slot because these dates can move.
Exclusions: a required 15A outlet or other electrical work is separate.

- 18. Commercial-use evidence
- Nook publishes trade information, a two-year commercial parts-and-labour warranty and large installation-count claims. A named operating commercial sauna customer was not established in this review.
- 19. Technical evidence
- Legal identity and registered business name are supported by ABN Lookup. EMF, material, timber, installation-count, and health claims remain under review in linked claim records.
- 20. Strengths
- Dated pricing or price-gap information is recorded for comparison.
Published customer-service routes have been checked and recorded.
The current model range is linked to a dated official source.
- 21. Limitations and trade-offs
- Nook’s product-only price may not be the lowest available, but included metro delivery and installation can reduce the total installed cost. Buyers outside the eligible service area may lose that value advantage.
- 22. Questions to confirm
- Compare total delivered and installed cost against other entry-level brands, not product price alone. Confirm that the postcode qualifies for free delivery and installation and obtain the exact scope in writing. Compare the exact heater type, timber, EMF evidence, power, warranty and model dimensions. Allow the stated installation clearance and confirm the final placement is suitable.
