Huum Drop Electric Sauna Heater Review: Is It Worth the Money?
If you are spending a lot of money on a home sauna, the heater is not the place to cut corners. It determines the quality of every single session you...
The drop electric sauna heater is inspired by the purest element of nature - water. The single-water-drop design gave the unit its organic, minimalist form. It comes in a curved stainless-steel casing, a recessed stone bed, and a compact wall-mounted profile that holds its own without overpowering the room. This design approach earned the Drop unit the prestigious Red Dot design award.
The 6kW model carries approximately 55kg of olivine diabase sauna stones to give you the perfect löyly — the burst of steam produced when water meets the surface. For those fitting larger sauna rooms, go for the Drop 9kW to deliver higher output.

Every HUUM Drop heater pairs with the UKU control unit. The base version can manage temperature, timer, and steam output from a clean wall panel. But the UKU Wi-Fi steps this up! It can connect to the HUUM mobile app, so you can control almost everything from your smartphone. All you need to do is set the heat remotely, arrive at a ready room, and adjust the temperature without leaving your seat.
For multi-heater setups or rooms requiring extended power distribution, the HUUM extension box handles the additional load without compromising the control system.
HUUM sauna heaters were designed to overcome the limitations of both traditional wood-burning heaters and generic electric stoves. While wood-burning heaters require time, fuel, and chimney infrastructure, HUUM heaters deliver authentic Finnish sauna heat with far less friction. The Drop 6kW in particular suits homeowners who want the authenticity of high stone capacity and soft steam without the complexity of a wood-burning stove.

A qualified electrician must install the Drop heater. And if you're weighing up other HUUM lines, check out the HUUM Core series and the compact HUUM Cliff Mini. For ongoing sauna maintenance, the HUUM sauna stones collection covers replacement stone options.
The 6kW Drop suits most residential sauna cabins. If you're sizing up between the 6 kW and Drop 9kW, or comparing controllers, the full HUUM sauna heater collection has each option side by side.
