Steel Mini emphasizes space efficiency and quick responsiveness while retaining stone-based heat characteristics. Stainless steel construction supports durability in humid, high-temperature environments, and the WiFi control enables programming and remote preheating.
Finlandia/Harvia FLB-80/KIP-80B Sauna Heater 8 kW
The Finlandia/Harvia FLB-80 is an 8 kW electric sauna heater designed for up to approximately 425 cubic feet. It features stainless interior elements and heavy-duty construction typical of established sauna manufacturers. This model is compatible with conventional sauna control systems and can be integrated with timed or digital controllers.
While this particular listing does not include integrated WiFi, Finlandia heaters are widely used with external controls and third-party WiFi-capable controllers for remote operation. The FLB-80 emphasizes reliability and industry-standard performance for medium-sized saunas.
Buying Guide: How To Choose The Right WiFi Sauna Heater
Sauna Room Size And Heater Power
Match heater wattage to sauna cubic footage. A general guide: 3–4 kW for small rooms (~100–250 cu ft), 5–9 kW for medium rooms (~250–600 cu ft), and 10–18 kW for large rooms or commercial spaces. Verify manufacturer recommendations for cubic-foot ranges to ensure adequate heat-up time and stable temperatures.
Stone-Based Heaters Vs. Infrared Or Panel Heaters
Stone-based electric heaters provide traditional steam bursts when water is poured over stones, with thermal mass delivering sustained heat. Infrared panels heat objects and occupants directly without steam. Choose stone heaters for traditional experience; choose infrared for lower-temperature, targeted heating and faster start-up.
WiFi Control Features
Look for secure, dedicated sauna controls (like UKU) that offer scheduling, remote temperature monitoring, and app-based controls. Confirm whether the WiFi control integrates with existing smart-home platforms and whether it requires external hubs. Remote scheduling enables preheating before use, improving convenience.
Construction Materials And Durability
Stainless steel housings and industrial-grade heating elements resist corrosion in humid sauna environments. Check stone volume and quality—rounded olivine stones are common for consistent heat retention. Wall-mounted designs save floor space but check clearance and installation requirements.
Installation And Electrical Requirements
Confirm voltage (110V/120V vs 220V/240V), phase, and amperage requirements. Larger heaters often require dedicated circuits and gauge-specific wiring (for example, 8-gauge for higher amperage). Ensure a qualified electrician inspects or performs wiring and that the installation complies with local codes.
Heat Distribution And Stone Mass
More stone mass gives slower, more sustained heat and better steam generation. Heaters that maximize stone exposure to elements tend to produce milder, longer-lasting temperatures. Consider how often you use water on stones—stone capacity affects steam intensity and maintenance frequency.
Control Placement And Safety Features
Controls should be located outside the sauna per many recommendations for safety and accurate scheduling. Verify built-in safety features such as overheat protection and certified thermostats. For WiFi units, ensure the control unit’s rating is suitable for sauna temperatures.
Maintenance And Parts Availability
Check availability of replacement stones, elements, and control modules. Stainless steel exteriors and replaceable heating elements reduce long-term maintenance costs. Review manufacturer support and warranty coverage for electronics and heating components.

Comparison Perspectives
- Performance vs. Size: Larger kW ratings heat faster but need proper wiring. Match to the room’s cubic feet.
- Remote Convenience vs. Simplicity: WiFi controls enable preheating and scheduling; traditional non-WiFi units may be simpler and integrate with third-party controllers.
- Design vs. Thermal Mass: Aesthetic glass or drop designs may change stone placement; prioritize stone mass for intense steam and heat retention.
- Commercial vs. Home Use: Heavy-duty units (higher kW, large stone loads) suit commercial or shared saunas; compact units suit private home saunas.
Final Checklist Before Purchase
- Measure sauna cubic feet and compare to manufacturer recommendations.
- Confirm home electrical capacity, circuit type, and required wire gauge.
- Decide on stone-based heat vs. infrared depending on desired sauna experience.
- Ensure the WiFi control’s app and security model meet expectations.
- Check warranty, spare part availability, and local installer recommendations.
