Saunum Air 5 Sauna Heater – Stainless Steel
Overview
The Saunum Air 5 is an electric sauna heater with a patented air-blending system that solves the oldest sauna complaint: hot head, cold feet. It draws hot air from near the ceiling, mixes it with cooler, more oxygenated air near the floor, and circulates softer, more breathable steam throughout the room — equalizing temperature by more than 60% for longer, more satisfying sessions.
- Patented air-blending for even heat and oxygen, head to toe
- Himalayan salt reservoir propels salt ions through the room
- Optional aromatherapy adds scent to the steam
- 6 bathing styles — Russian Banya, Finnish, Estonian, Yoga, Salt, and Aroma

The Saunum Air 5 with its airflow system genuinely solves the cold-feet problem. The heat is even from the floor to the upper bench, which my old heater never managed. The stainless finish is sleek and it heats my small sauna fast and quietly. Wiring needed an electrician for the 240v line. Best heater upgrade I've made.
I was skeptical of the Saunum air circulation claim but it genuinely makes the whole cabin feel evenly warm, no cold spots near the floor. The stainless Air 5 looks beautiful and heats my compact sauna quickly. Quiet operation and great steam. Needed professional wiring.
Perfect size for my two-person sauna. The Air 5 heats fast, distributes warmth evenly thanks to the Saunum airflow, and the stainless steel build is gorgeous. Stones produce lovely steam. An electrician handled the hookup in an afternoon. Very happy with the quality.
The Air 5 is a fantastic heater with genuinely even heat distribution. Only reason for four stars is the price is on the higher side compared to basic heaters. That said, the airflow technology and stainless build justify it for me. Heats my small sauna quickly and quietly. Needed 240v wiring.
The Saunum Air 5 runs quietly and heats evenly. The stainless housing is a beautiful match for my sauna. Steam quality is excellent. Worth the investment.
