SaunaGrade Buyer's Analysis

The Sun Home Nova 3-Person is built for indoor traditional sauna sessions, utilizing Canadian cedar for the interior walls and dual-stack benches. The dual-bench setup allows users to choose between two distinct heat zones during a session, which is handy if you prefer varying intensities. A notable design element is the hand-laid carbonized hexagonal tile back wall, paired with a thermal-optimized black privacy glass front.

The sauna relies on a 6kW HUUM DROP electric heater capable of reaching up to 230°F and producing steam when water is applied to the rocks. Electrical requirements demand a proper 240V setup, which will likely require professional installation by an electrician. Control options are versatile, featuring the HUUM UKU remote, an internal capacitive button panel, and Wi-Fi connectivity via the HUUM app. Additional practical features include an integrated electric ventilation fan and RGB ambient lighting.
