A Stunning, Space-Saving Centerpiece with Fantastic Löyly
The HUUM CLIFF 9kW has completely transformed my small home sauna. I chose this model specifically for its incredibly slim footprint and minimal safety distances, which allowed me to maximize bench space, a major win in a tight area. The aesthetics are unparalleled; the tall tower filled with round olivine diabase stones truly looks like a modern sculpture and earned the Red Dot design award for a reason. It is a striking centerpiece.
Functionally, the performance is exactly what I hoped for. The large stone capacity (about 165 lbs) combined with the internal air duct heats the stones thoroughly and efficiently, leading to a mild, long-lasting, and abundant löyly (steam). When you pour water, the steam generation is dense, humid, and doesn't just dissipate instantly, it truly fills the room. It also heats up impressively fast for a heater with so many stones, thanks to that internal air flow design.
I paired it with the UKU Wi-Fi control unit, and the remote-start feature is a game-changer. Being able to start the sauna from my phone on the drive home means it's perfectly hot the moment I walk in the door.
A note on setup: Placing the stones requires patience. Due to the vertical design and the way the stones sit around the elements, you must take your time to stack them carefully to ensure proper air circulation and protect the elements. This is not a job to rush, but it's worth the effort for the quality of the sauna experience it provides. This is a premium investment, and it performs like one.
