I bought this sauna a few months ago while I was building my Sauna with all recycled materials. It took a while cause I work out of State and built it in stages on weekends. So I get an electrician out here and he did not put the right breaker in. I though the sauna was faulty. Then I read carefully the manufactures recommendations and it calls for a 45 amp breaker. There was a 40 amp breaker in the box. So I get the electrician back out to my house and have them put in a 50 amp breaker.Holly krap, this sauna heater works so good that I had to experiment to find my sweet spot. The first day I turned it all the way up and it got to 210 in 15 minutes. A tad too hot for me. So I place the heat setting just a bit under half way and my sauna will reach 180 in less than 20 minutes pre-heat. Then I have to turn it off. At just past half way it will reach 210 in less than 35 minutes.So I am very pleased with the sauna. So far it heats up with no problem. Gets my rocks red hot, and they stay hot for hours! Now let me make clear I did not buy my rocks from a sauna maker. I went to Southern Utah near Panguitch and harvested my rocks from a huge volcanic eruption. Thousand of square miles of lava rocks. These rocks are the bomb, and are much better at holding heat than the rocks offered by Sauna manufactures. Take note I added a great deal more rocks to the sauna after the second photo was taken.In summation this Vevor Sauna is a great buy for the money. Gets real hot, just make sure the electrician installs the right breaker with the correct amperage.

6' x 5' sauna made with cedar fence pickets. This heater is really good. Gets hot very fast and very easy to install. The controller works great.Love it

Couldn't find a review that addressed the wiring, so I thought I'd lend some advice.I bought 8-3 wire for this 9kw sauna, and intended to run it to a 50 amp breaker. In the us, it's a 240V, which means you need 2 hits, 120v each. Here's the main thing, when you use the wiring, you only use the red, black, and ground. The white neutral is not used. A lot of units, like dryer or stove have parts of wiring that need a 120v, like a digital timer or a light, but this system is built only on the 240v, so it doesn't need that. With that in mind, the wiring is simple. Red on one side, black on other, put on the 2 pole breaker with red on one side of breaker, black on the other....hook up the ground, but neutral isnt wired up. Good luck. Talk to licensed electrician if unsure at all.Sauna rocks- I bought lava rocks, like what goes inside gas grill...works perfect. Also at first I didnt put the rocks down deep in the sauna, but it does need that. That helps it hold and release heat. Fill it up and then put rocks on top. Picture above doesn't have rocks on top yet.Good luck, good value
