Scores 9.25/10, tied for 2nd of the 12 sauna heaters we track. At $2,143 it costs more than the category median of $2,001.50. Its stated maximum of 194°F is level with the 194°F median of the 4 sauna heaters that state one. Harvia says it heats up in 60 minutes, which is level with the 60-minute median of the 6 sauna heaters that state one.
