Saunum Air 5 Sauna Heater Package
Overview
The Saunum Air 5 Package is a 4.95 kW electric sauna heater built around Saunum's patented air-blending system, which draws hot air from the ceiling and mixes it with cooler, oxygen-rich air near the floor. The result equalizes room temperature by more than 60% — for softer, more breathable steam and longer, more comfortable sessions.
A massive 130 lb stone capacity delivers luxurious löyly, while a built-in Himalayan salt reservoir and optional aromatherapy add a wellness dimension. With AirIQ Wi-Fi control, the Air 5 unlocks six distinct bathing styles — Russian Banya, Finnish, Estonian, Yoga, Salt, and Aroma sauna.
- Patented air-blending equalizes temperature by 60%+ floor to ceiling
- For rooms 106–212 cu. ft. — 130 lb stone capacity
- Himalayan salt + optional aromatherapy for wellness benefits
- 6 bathing styles via AirIQ Wi-Fi control

The Saunum Air 5 package's built-in climate equalizer is the real deal - it pushes the heat down so the temperature is even from the floor to the top bench. No more cold feet and a roasting head. The package came with everything needed to get started and the 5kW unit is perfect for our small sauna. Beautifully made.
What sets this apart is how evenly it heats - the air movement makes the whole sauna feel comfortable rather than stratified. The package was convenient since it included the essentials. Heats efficiently and quietly. Love it.
The climate-equalizing feature genuinely works and makes a noticeable difference in comfort. The package had everything I needed. Like any sauna heater it requires a licensed electrician for the hookup, which is worth budgeting for. Excellent product otherwise.
After years with a standard heater, the even warmth from the Saunum is a game changer. The air distribution means I can actually enjoy the lower bench now. The package made setup simple. Highly recommend.
The fan-assisted heat distribution is brilliant - it eliminates the harsh stratification you get with normal heaters. Comes as a complete package which I appreciated. Heats quickly and runs quietly. Worth it.
