The sauna bucket set from WASSERFELD contains a 4L sauna bucket with PVC insert, a sauna ladle, a 2in1 thermometer & hygrometer and an hourglass. All components are made of 100% high-quality pine wood. The product manufacturer WASSERFELD promises to make a relaxing visit to the sauna complete. We were particularly impressed by the thermometer and hygrometer, which is made of heat-resistant and shatterproof glass. This speaks for the high quality and durability of the product. The elegant wooden design also blends in perfectly with any sauna. One point of criticism, however, is the packaging, which is not particularly environmentally friendly. The manufacturer could make improvements here to increase the sustainability of the product. The scope of delivery also includes a note from the manufacturer with a short thank-you note and safety instructions.

The Wasserfeld sauna bucket set was delivered in two boxes for our test. On the outside, the set was in a neutral box, while the inner box bore the company logo and the product name. Both boxes were undamaged and could be opened easily without additional tools. However, when unpacking the set, we noticed the excessive amount of packaging material . Although the product itself was undamaged and in perfect condition , the amount of plastic packaging was clearly excessive. Both the bucket and the trowel were each packed in a plastic bag. The hourglass was wrapped in bubble wrap and was again in another cardboard box. The thermometer & hygrometer , on the other hand, was packed in a small cardboard box and paper. Additional mounting material for attaching the hourglass and the thermometer & hygrometer to the wall was also included.
