The median is the middle value, so a few very expensive models do not distort it. Power only counts listings that state it.
Why the power supply matters: a 120 V sauna plugs into a standard outlet, while a 240 V sauna needs a dedicated circuit installed by an electrician. Always check the shop's wiring requirements before you buy. What a session costs in your state: running cost calculator. How the listings split by voltage: 120 V vs 240 V saunas.
