Customer Reviews for VEVOR Sauna Heater, 4.5KW 220V Electric Sauna Stove, Steam Bath Sauna Heater with Built-In Controls, 3h Timer and Adjustable Temp for Max. 105-210 Cubic Feet, Home Hotel Spa Shower Use, FCC Certification

My sauna is 3' x 5' with 7' ceiling and this heats it up to 180F in about 15 minutes. The control makes a pretty noticeable clunk as it connects and disconnects current as directed by the thermostat but that is a lot of watts to be switching. Think the swing switch in Frankenstein :-) I added rocks I bought at Menards but you need to be careful. Some will shatter when heated. They sell the right rocks for saunas elsewhere, I was just being cheap

I used 9 AWG wire for hot and ground wires. I had a 40 amp circuit breaker but it kept popping so I went with a 60 AMP circuit breaker and it works great! Instructions are simple and easy.

We bought it in February 2024 and one heating element in 3 just burned. Use approximately 1x per week. Otherwise we were very happy so far with our purchase. UPDATE: We contacted VEVOR and they sent us a new heating element rapidly. All the service support were fantastic. Thanks again.

My space is 6x4x8 high I purchased the 4.5 220v unit thinking it would heat up the space faster. 3 of 4 walls are insulated well and the 4th is an interior wall. It is hard wired so no plug needed, just a 10 gauge 3 wire did the trick. I used a 30amp breaker. In approximately 30 minutes it gets to 160f in a room that is about 75f normally. It quickly will reach 120f and is usable at that temp but I like to use the sauna for cold plunge/sauna intervals and that is when it reaches 160f. Normally it is there by the second or third round. I have had it about 3 weeks with no issues other than a rock cracking the first use, (my fault). I haven’t tried to sprinkle any water over the rocks yet (mostly granite I think). Good luck.

Great price! Only time will tell if it will last but I have serious concern about the way it operates. It turns on and off with extremely loud banging noice! I don’t know if this is normal, have a feeling something breaks inside each time the switch goes on and off. Would like to hear some customer service on that issue, if it is normal or not. Otherwise it rises the temperature to 100°C in 7x7x7 sauna for about 40 minutes.

Works well! Gets hot and fired right up when loaded with rocks. The instructions are kind of minimal put there isn't much to it. Wire up and turn the knobs and you'll be sweating in no time. Heated my small sauna up quickly.

Easy to install and operate. Performance of the heater works great

This heater gets my sauna up to 200 degrees in 20 minutes. I would recommend this for your small sauna.

Easily heats my 4 person sauna to 170 and beyond in about 30 minutes. Note that the sauna is on the NW house corner in NW Wisconsin in winter so may be faster in warmer climates. Does produce any annoying clank as the heating element turns on and off. Startling at first but you get used to it.
