HUUM DROP Series 4.5kW Sauna Heater
The design of the HUUM DROP sauna heater is inspired by the purest element in nature – a drop of water. Its rounded design softens and compliments the angular interior of a classic sauna, giving it a touch of elegance. But DROP isn’t only about the looks.
This compact wall-mounted heater has a large 122-pound rock capacity, more than most wood-burning stoves for a more intense steam sauna.
Winner of the prestigious Red Dot Award in Europe for design, the HUUM DROP combines sculptural beauty with engineering excellence. It's exceptionally large rock capacity allows the sauna bather to ladle more water onto the stones for a more intense bathing experience while creating a more consistent, soft high heat.
The available Wi-Fi control lets you preheat your sauna from anywhere.
A HUUM UKU control unit and approximately 122 lb of sauna stones are required and sold separately.

Shipping & delivery
Shipping cost: Shipping on this item is a flat $99 per order within the contiguous US, added at checkout before you pay.
Most in-stock orders ship within 3–5 business days of confirmed payment, and delivery is typically 5–15 business days after shipment. Made-to-order saunas and custom-configured rooms need production time on top of that, which we confirm before the order is released. We ship within the contiguous United States.
Large items ship LTL freight on a pallet, delivered curbside — to the curb or the end of your driveway, often from a trailer up to 53 feet long. Curbside does not include unpacking, assembly, installation or electrical connection. The carrier calls to book an appointment and someone must be there to receive the shipment. Tell us at the time of order if access is limited — narrow or rural roads, steep driveways, gated communities — and ask for liftgate service if you have no dock or forklift.
Inspect the shipment before the driver leaves and before you sign. Count the cartons and pallets against the paperwork, check glass doors and panels, write any damage or shortage on the Delivery Receipt, and photograph it. Email info@plungeintosaunas.com within 48 hours of delivery with your order number, photos and the noted receipt — the same window covers concealed damage and missing items. Keep the packaging while a claim is open.
Cancellations & returns
Cancel before the order has been submitted for fulfillment and it is refunded in full — email info@plungeintosaunas.com with your order number. After that point manufacturer, carrier, return-freight or restocking fees may apply. Every return must be approved by us in writing first: products ship from different manufacturer warehouses, so the correct return address varies, and anything sent back without authorization may be refused.
Return requests are made within 30 days under our general policy; some brands run that window from the date of purchase rather than delivery. Items must be unused, uninstalled, never heated or filled, complete in their original packaging and in resalable condition. Restocking fees run up to 25% depending on the manufacturer, while Harvia, HUUM, SaunaLife, Saunum, Narvi, ThermaSol, Delta, Kohler and Mr. Steam charge no restocking fee at all, only a re-boxing fee of roughly $20–$50 if the original packaging does not come back intact. On a change-of-mind return you pay return shipping and the original outbound shipping is not refunded.
If the item arrived damaged or a manufacturer error is at fault, return shipping is covered for you. Custom, made-to-order and special-order items already in production, clearance and open-box items, heaters that have been wired or fired, tubs and generators that have been filled, assembled or heated rooms, opened consumables and all Canadian Timber Collection products cannot be returned. Ask us before you buy if you are unsure.

Heater Size Calculator
At 4.5 kW this heater is rated for sauna rooms of 106 to 247 adjusted cu ft.
A heater that is too small never reaches temperature; one that is too big cycles on and off and gives harsh, dry heat. Match the rated range to your room's adjusted volume — the calculator does the maths in under a minute, or call us with your dimensions.
- 4.5 kW 106247
The shaded bar is the room size this heater is rated for. Work out your room's adjusted cubic feet below, then check the number lands inside the bar.
Working out your adjusted cubic feet
- Room volume — length × width × height in feet.
- Glass and stone add load — count about 4 cu ft extra per square foot of glass, tile or stone wall.
- Uninsulated or log walls — multiply the total by 1.5.

How the HUUM DROP is built
Setting up
What happens between checkout and your first session.
-
The DROP 4.5 ships by parcel via UPS or FedEx Ground. The heater weighs 24.3 lb on its own; with stones the shipment comes to about 156 lb. Check the carton for damage before you sign, and keep the packaging until the heater is installed and running.

-
The DROP 4.5 runs on a dedicated 240 V single-phase circuit: 18.8 A draw, a 30 A breaker and 10 AWG wire, installed to local code by a licensed electrician. It is wired through a HUUM UKU control unit, sold separately — follow the wiring diagram and the safety distances in the Installation & Operation Manual, which sets the minimum clearance to the walls, the ceiling and the bench in front of the heater.

-
The DROP 4.5 is recommended for rooms of 106–248 adjusted cubic feet. Start with width × length × height, then adjust upward for glass, tile or stone surfaces. Run it through our Heater Size Calculator before you order, or call us and we'll size it with you.

-
The DROP arrives without stones and without controls. You will need roughly 122 lb of sauna stones and a HUUM UKU control unit, both required before the first heat-up. Rinse and stack the stones loosely, and add a bucket and ladle if you want to throw water.
