The SAWOTEC Mini MN-36NS-Z / MN-36NB-Z is a compact electric sauna heater designed for small home saunas for 1–2 people. This versatile model is available in two configurations: with a separate control unit (MN-36NS-Z) or with a built-in NB control unit (MN-36NB-Z) for convenient all-in-one installation.
