HUUM Drop is a wall-mounted sauna heater. When sized correctly, Drop can reach temperatures up to 230°f. Thanks to its large rock capacity, HUUM Drop offers soft steam and equal heat to all sauna goers. Drop is the most popular model HUUM has to offer.
HUUM Drop Overview
HUUM Drop has a large rock capacity, which guarantees mild, even steam to create a superior sauna experience. Large rock capacity and eye-catching design are known as HUUM's trademarks. These two things combined have made the Drop one of the most popular sauna heaters in North America in 2025.
Control System
All HUUM sauna heaters use the same control system. This control system is called UKU. In all HUUM sauna heaters, there will be an external control panel for controlling the sauna.
HUUM allows the UKU to be installed inside the sauna room, as long as their specific instructions regarding the placement are followed. However, it's more common to install your control panel right outside the sauna, where it doesn't get exposed to heat and humidity.
HUUM offers an additional feature to all UKU controls that allows you to control the sauna remotely through an app on your phone.
Technical Details
HUUM Drop comes in four different configurations. The bigger your sauna, the greater the kilowatt power your sauna heater needs to have.
Physical size of the cage is the same with each configuration, so there are no notable differences in the look of the heater; however, the bigger the heater, the more heating elements there are inside the cage.
