Harvia Cilindro Electric Sauna Heater

Yes, the design allows you to customize your experience. Pouring water on top of the stone pillar creates a softer, gentler steam, while pouring water directly into the middle of the stones produces a sharper, more intense burst of heat.

No, this model requires an external control unit. You will need to purchase a compatible Harvia control unit separately to manage the temperature and timer settings.

The Cilindro Half Steel is designed for efficiency, measuring roughly 14-15 inches wide and 13-14 inches deep. Because it is a floor-standing unit with a semi-open front, it is ideal for smaller sauna rooms, but you should always verify your specific room's clearance requirements against the manual.

This unit has a significant stone capacity of 220 lbs. Using the full amount of stones is recommended to ensure optimal heat retention and the best possible steam distribution.

This unit requires a 240-volt, single-phase electrical connection. Given the power options ranging from 6 kW to 10.5 kW, you should consult with a licensed electrician to ensure your home's electrical system can support the specific wattage you choose.

The partially open front casing exposes more of the stone surface area directly to the room. This allows for more efficient heat distribution and makes it easier to pour water onto the stones, while still maintaining a compact footprint.
