An alder handrail with built-in lights is sometimes installed on top of the stove, which can be used to increase the lighting in the steam room.
Fuga
The Fugue model line is not particularly popular in Russia, since the volume of the steam room in which such a stove can be used is small (no more than 14 m3), comes into conflict with the high price.
The total weight of stones that can be placed in this heater must not exceed 30 kg, that at a power of 9 kW allows you to provide a relatively small steam room with soft steam in a short time.
This type of stove is not very suitable for solving design problems, since it is only available in white and has rather large dimensions – 480x900x235 mm.
Figaro
This line of electric sauna heaters consists of from several models of floor-standing heaters. The total volume of stones in such aggregates is about 90 kg, which is why the oven itself is so large.

Pro
The models of this series of ovens can only be used in commercial professional saunas, where the volume of the steam room reaches 66 m3.
High power (from 20 to 33 kW) allows you to heat even a fairly large space in a relatively short time, as well as provide high-quality soft steam inside the room.

The heating elements in this line are separated from the stones, which allows for a significant extension of their service life.
Virta Combi
The main difference of this line is the presence of a five-liter water tank, which allows you to actively use the evaporator with the addition of various flavoring elements to the water.
Due to the water tank (which in more expensive models is filled automatically from the water supply system), the volume of stones used is not reduced. The dimensions of the black case have been increased (410x415x810 mm). The main feature of this device has been preserved – the ability to quickly service it without unloading all the stones from the tank.
Furnace power – from 6.8 to 21.6 kW, the volume of the steam room is from 5 to 32 m3.
Control is carried out using a remote unit.
