HUUM DROP 6 (6 kW) Electric Sauna Heater

Transform your sauna into a sanctuary of style and wellness with the award-winning HUUM DROP 6. Inspired by the purest element in nature—a drop of water—this sculptural, wall-mounted heater combines modern Estonian design with professional-grade thermal engineering. Recognized with the prestigious Red Dot Award, the DROP 6 serves as an elegant focal point while providing an authentic, high-quality sauna experience.

Designed for small-to-medium residential saunas, the DROP 6 maximizes floor space while offering a stone capacity that rivals most wood-burning stoves, ensuring soft, enveloping steam (Loyly).

Sculptural Design & Space Efficiency

The DROP 6 is engineered specifically for wall mounting, making it the ideal solution for sauna owners who want to keep their interior footprint clean and open. Its unique rounded silhouette is not just a visual statement; it is a functional design choice that promotes efficient heat radiation. This minimalist approach brings a touch of organic sophistication to any classic sauna layout.

Superior Thermal Mass & Steam

The HUUM DROP 6 holds a massive 122 lbs (55 kg) of stones. This exceptional capacity for its size acts as a powerful thermal battery, radiating heat evenly and maintaining therapeutic temperatures long after the heater has reached its set point. The open-cage design ensures that the heat comes primarily from the stones rather than the metal body, producing a softer, more consistent heat and rich, long-lasting steam when water is ladled over the rocks.

Durable Stainless Steel Craftsmanship

Each HUUM heater is precision-crafted in Estonia using high-grade stainless steel and industrial-quality heating elements. This ensures maximum durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable performance over years of frequent use. The elegant cage structure is designed to hold stones securely while allowing air to circulate through the core of the heater for rapid, efficient heating.

Easy Operation & Smart Integration

Designed for the modern home, the DROP 6 operates on a standard 240V 1-phase connection (30 amp). It is intended to be paired with an external control system, such as the HUUM UKU series, which allows for precise temperature management. With the UKU Wi-Fi option, you can preheat your sauna directly from your smartphone via the HUUM mobile app, ensuring your sanctuary is ready exactly when you are.
