How to choose and what to look for?

When buying an electric sauna stove, pay attention to the following criteria:

1. Preliminary calculation of the volume of the steam room. Determines the required power. There should be 1 kW of power per 1 cubic meter of steam room. Such a calculation is approximate, but with the help of it, the buyer can determine the required performance with the choice of an electric stove.
2. Oven controls. The wiring must be able to withstand the load. Some models cannot be powered by 220W, they must be connected to 380W. Consider this point when buying.
3. Type of heating circuit. For a home steam room, you can choose a heating element, but it is better if it is made of stainless steel - this will extend the life of the electric furnace.
4. Design. According to the size of the room, you can choose the type of device: wall-mounted, floor-standing or mixed type. It is better to equip small steam rooms with a hinged stove, it saves space perfectly.
5. Availability of a certificate of conformity of products to Russian standards. Pay attention to the presence of a valid safety certificate for the oven and the materials from which it is made.
