The Complete Guide to the HUUM Drop Sauna Heater Series
The HUUM Drop sauna heater series consists of four distinct models, each engineered to provide optimal heating for specific sauna room sizes. What sets these heaters apart is their impressive rock capacity, up to 40 kg (~90 lbs) in larger models, which creates exceptionally soft, enveloping steam that transforms your sauna sessions.

Choosing the Right HUUM Drop for Your Sauna Room
Selecting the appropriate HUUM Drop model depends primarily on your sauna room size and desired heating capacity. The general rule is approximately 1 kW per 45-50 cubic feet of sauna space, though factors like insulation quality, ceiling height, and window area can affect this calculation.
For precise sizing, we recommend using a sauna heater size calculator to determine the ideal power rating for your specific installation. This tool considers multiple factors, including room dimensions, insulation type, and desired heating time, to recommend the perfect HUUM Drop model.
The wall-mounted sauna heater design of the HUUM Drop series makes it suitable for most sauna room configurations. The compact mounting system requires minimal clearance while providing maximum heating efficiency.
Whether you have a traditional sauna room or a modern spa-style installation, there's a HUUM Drop model that will meet your needs.
