TIP! The best sauna experience to have! Only SAUNUM heaters come with special sauna climate device – a unique patented mixing system of air layers captures the hot steam that rises under the ceiling of the sauna room, mixes it with the cooler air from the surface of the floor, and directs the milder steam back evenly. This makes for an enjoyable, unaggressive heat. You can sit in the sauna for a longer time, and enjoy a sweat and a deep cleanse without feeling tired. A traditional Nordic sauna, a moist steam rich sauna, a therapeutic salt sauna, or a healthy aroma sauna – all of these functions are available on Saunum’s devices to create a truly relaxing sauna experience. When using Himalayan salt balls in our device, salt ions that are beneficial to skin and respiratory tract evaporate and the steam circulates these into the air. Adding a sauna aroma system that blends steam and healthy aroma oil creates an even more enjoyable sauna environment. Saunum’s sauna devices are suitable for both adults and children. BEFORE HEATING Always check that there are no objects on the heater or near the heaters safety distance described in the heaters manual. AFTER HEATING Always check that the heater has switched off and stopped heating after the on-time period has elapsed. SAUNUM. A new dimension of modern sauna. At Saunum, our innovative technology and scientific mindset are combined with elegant design to provide a new dimension to the modern sauna.

Turned the sauna on remotely and let you know when it’s ready. New update had me concerned, but give it a day and it should get to working again. Still room for improvement but getting better. Only wish you could turn on fan as it’s heating up ### 1/5 — Shameful app *2026-03-10* Absolutely terrible. Can’t believe i paid this much for an app that a 1st year coder could make better ### 1/5 — QR Code Problems *2026-02-26* Horrible app - cannot pair with my brand new sauna heater. I feel I made a huge mistake buying this brand. This has been a waste of time and energy. ### 2/5 — Not even basic *2026-02-24* There isn’t that much a basic sauna app needs to do. This app sets the bar below that and fails to achieve it. The interface is confusing, the connection is unreliable, and the functions are severely limited. It should also have a watch interface - which you can bring into the sauna - rather than just a mobile device - which can easily overheat. Do better - an AI agent could fix this quickly. ### 1/5 — Wasted my time *2026-02-08* This app will not scan the QR code necessary to pair with a control unit, rendering it useless. However after wasting an enormous amount of time on this, I took a PHOTO of the unit’s QR code displayed on the screen, and PRINTED it out on a piece of paper, and at long last the app scanned and paired with it. For heavens sake Saunum test and update this app. ### 1/5 — Sadly, unusable *2025-12-09* The app does not read the qr code on the control unit to pair with the sauna. It cost $7k and the app does not work. ### 2/5 — Unstable Coding *2025-11-17* Very unreliable. My brand new unit regularly requires a reboot to connect to my Wi-Fi. The scheduling often doesn’t work and there haven’t been any stability upgrades to this app in ages. I paid $5000 for my Saunum unit and am stunned by how flakey their software is. Shame on them. ### 3/5 — Flaky - Needs an update 10 months later still no update zero updates?? *2025-10-17* Works sometimes and sometimes not approx 50/50 typically requiring a reboot at sauna control panel which is running latest power board and control panel software updates. Not a WiFi issue. This app has not been updated in more 2 years and certainly can use some serious bug fixes. ### 1/5 — Sadly unusable *2025-06-14* The app does not read the qr code on the control unit to pair with the sauna. It cost $7k and the app does not work. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2025-01-24* I love this simple app! It does everything it claims to, doesn’t take long to connect to my sauna and makes changes almost as quickly as the hardwired control controller. ## Frequently asked questions about Saunum Leil ### How do I connect Saunum Leil to my sauna?
