Customer Reviews for VEVOR Sauna Heater 9KW Dry Steam Bath Sauna Heater Stove 220V-240V with External Controller Electric Sauna Stove for Max.459 Cubic Feet Home Hotel Sauna Room Spa Shower Bath Sauna

The packaging was not the greatest and it was delivered slightly bent. (Just the exterior tin.) But I was excited to add this to my Sauna project. I here the new infered Saunas are even more soothing than the heated rocks variety heater. But this is what Ive always wanted and its simple design works great.

This unit is a third the cost of competitors, and does the same thing, very impressed!

Works exceptionally well. It will heat my sauna to max temperature (194°f) in approx 25 minutes. Be advised it does tend to smoke the first few cycles until the manufacturing oils burn off. I recommend not installing the temp sensor directly over the heater as the manufacturer recommends, the room will not heat properly. I suggest before permently mounting the sensor temporarily mount in different locations while using a thermometer to make sure the room temp matches the readings on the control panel. My only negative would be the antiquated controls. The controls get the job done but they look dated and lack the ability to program an on/off cycle.

This sauna gets nice and hot quickly, works great. Originally bought the one with an external controller but was impossible to connect so got this one instead. Had no issues with the return.

Replaced last one that lasted daily use for over 4 years. Solid unit.

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 hots, 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

Awesome heater! Works great, just what I needed!

Was happy to find an option that I could get quickly and for a fair price. The smell burned off quicker than anticipated and we thought it was going to take an hour or more.

Install was fairly easy - just use 2 live and 1 ground. No neutral. She gets hot but the high temp sensor is cutting off power fairly frequently. Im still trying to figure out how to fix this issue so it can get hotter. I'm kind of stuck around 140-150° F.
