Description
HUUM Drop 6kW Sauna Heater
The HUUM Drop 6kW electric sauna heater brings together timeless design inspiration and cutting-edge engineering to transform your home sauna experience. Inspired by the simplest element in nature, a single drop of water, the HUUM Drop 6 embodies the ideal balance of form and function for the discerning sauna enthusiast.
Design That Makes a Statement
The HUUM Drop sauna heater distinguishes itself in the sauna world with its unique rounded shape. While traditional saunas are defined by sharp angles and straight lines, the Drop's organic shape softens these rigid spaces, introducing a touch of natural elegance that feels both contemporary and timeless.
Crafted from premium stainless steel in Estonia, the HUUM Drop heater showcases European craftsmanship at its finest. The attention to detail is evident in every curve and contour, earning this exceptional piece the prestigious Red Dot product design award in Europe, which is one of the most coveted honors in the design world. Choosing the Drop means investing in an award-winning heater that brings lasting style, quality, and performance to your sauna experience.
Power and Performance That Delivers
The elegant, space-saving design hides just how powerful this heater truly is. The HUUM Drop 6kW sauna heater is engineered to deliver serious performance for sauna rooms ranging from a minimum of 177 cubic feet up to a maximum of 318 cubic feet. This versatile range makes it suitable for various sauna sizes, whether you're building an intimate personal retreat or a more spacious family sauna.
What truly sets the HUUM electric sauna heater apart from competitors is its extraordinary large rock capacity of 121 lbs, a feature that's absolutely crucial for creating an authentic sauna experience. This impressive stone capacity actually exceeds what most traditional wood-burning stoves can hold, which translates directly to better performance in your sauna sessions.
More sauna rocks mean the heater retains heat more efficiently and distributes it more evenly throughout the space.
The Advantage of Increased Rock Capacity
The generous stone capacity of the HUUM sauna heater goes beyond being just a number on a spec sheet – it fundamentally changes how you experience your sauna. When you ladle water onto those 121 lbs of heated stones, you generate rich, abundant steam that fills the room with the signature sauna heat and atmosphere that serious enthusiasts crave.
The massive thermal mass ensures consistent, soft high heat that doesn't fluctuate wildly, giving you better control over your bathing environment.
This wall mounted sauna heater design also means you're maximizing your floor space while still benefiting from exceptional heating capacity. The clever wall mounted design keeps the heater safely positioned while allowing you to use every square inch of your sauna efficiently.
Smart Control for Modern Living
The HUUM Drop series sauna heater embraces modern technology without compromising the traditional sauna experience. The available sauna heater with Wi-Fi control functionality means you can preheat your sauna from anywhere using the intuitive HUUM app.
After a long day at work or an intense gym session, you can step right into a sauna that’s already heated and ready for relaxation. This convenient sauna control system puts the power of perfect timing in your hands.
As a 240V sauna heater, the Drop integrates seamlessly with North American electrical systems, making installation simple for qualified professionals.
