Product Overview
Designed for smaller home saunas, the Saunum Air 5 combines a traditional electric stone heater with Saunum’s integrated air-mixing system. Instead of allowing the hottest air to remain concentrated near the ceiling, the system draws hot upper-level air downward, blends it with cooler air near the floor, and returns a more even stream of conditioned air to the sauna.
Choose Closed Basket for a cleaner, more enclosed appearance or Open Basket for greater visible stone surface and a more traditional stone-forward look.
Why Saunum Is Different
Traditional saunas naturally develop strong temperature stratification: the hottest air rises while cooler air settles near the floor. Saunum’s integrated climate system is designed to circulate and blend those layers, producing a more even-feeling sauna environment while preserving the heat, stones and steam of a traditional sauna.
Key Features
- Integrated Saunum air-mixing technology helps balance temperature throughout the sauna
- Large stone capacity supports soft, generous steam when water is applied to the stones
- Adjustable airflow lets the sauna climate be tailored to personal preference
- Purpose-built electric sauna heater for residential indoor sauna installations
Recommended Sauna Size
106–212 cu. ft.. Correct heater sizing depends on total room volume and construction materials; glass, tile, masonry and other uninsulated surfaces can increase the effective sauna volume.
Required for Operation
Saunum AirIQ Wi-Fi control is required and sold separately. Sauna stones are also required. Stone quantity varies by model/basket configuration.
