Description
The Harvia KIP80W Sauna Heater is a traditional wall-mounted electric sauna heater designed to deliver dependable heating performance and an authentic Finnish sauna experience. Built with a polished stainless steel outer casing, the heater provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance in humid sauna environments.
The KIP80W operates with the Harvia Xenio digital control system (sold separately), allowing precise temperature and operation control through a modern wall-mounted interface.
