I have the model 200. It is the best wood furnace that I have ever owned. I have owned 3 other brands in the past and gave them all away. It performs like the website and the owner, claims it should. If you use two 45 degree elbows instead of a 90 degree elbow between the furnace and chimney, you will not have smoke when you open the door; to add wood. The LED lights on the computer control box, allow you to monitor what is going on inside, from a distance.
Before purchasing, I drove to Tower, MN to visit the factory and see the furnaces. On the way there I stopped at a church in Stillwater, MN, that has two model 100's. The pastor was from Europe, and he stated that the gasification furnaces burn just like gasification boilers do in Europe, and that is why he bought the Kuuma furnaces. He showed me the inside of the chimneys which had no creosote, just light brown dust. At the factory, the chimney there was also creosote free!
If you have another brand of wood furnace, give it away and get a Kuuma. I am glad that I did. It is wonderful to not have visible smoke coming out of the chimney, when you live in the city. The wood lasts longer and the ash is finer.
So get a Kuuma

Dear Lamppa Manufacturing Co,
I purchased an electric kuuma sauna stove from you and hauled it back to Naperville, IL. I Finally finished by 6'X9' sauna and have taken about a half dozen sauna's so far. I purchased the largest electric stove you make and I am so completely satisfied with your product that I had to write you a letter. Everything I was told before the purchase was not just a sales pitch hoping I would buy and never return. But, in reality everything I was told concerning the stove has been proven true.
Sincerely,
Another completely satisfied customer!

Dear Sir,
My husband and I purchased one of your sauna stoves this spring as a result of an internet search. We have had a sauna up at our camp in Maine since purchasing our property in 1985. The sauna was built before the log cabin! We have always used "jerry rigged" stoves in the past, and the last one burned out, decided to search for a "real" one. I am writing to express our utmost satisfaction with your product. In fact, we are working to learn how to keep it from getting quite so hot in there! We look forward to seeing how it performs when the colder weather arrives. My husband is particularly happy about the decreased amount of wood required to get it hot and keep it hot. All in all, we are VERY happy with our purchase and look forward to many years of use. As we are in the building business, we may have a chance to recommend your product, and we will be sure to do it.
Thank you for a wonderful sauna stove. You told my husband when talked to you that you thought it was the best in the world, really. We agree!!
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Lamppa,
You have not solicited a testimonial for your Kuuma all electric sauna heater, but I feel that when a testimonial is deserved it should be given. The workmanship and functioning of the stove is impeccable. When I went back to the university after retirement I did a study on quality control. Your stove meets all the requirements of the high quality standard that the customer deserves. The installation was easy with no hassle and the operation is as simple as any can be. Your cool wall design is a real plus. Keep up the excellent quality.
Sincerely,
