The Harvia Cilindro PC60 is a 6kW floor-standing pillar-style stainless steel electric sauna heater for rooms from 141 to 294 cubic feet with built-in manual switch controls - no separate controller required. The PC60 is the built-in control variant of the Cilindro Half Series at 6kW, completing the session from start to finish with the manual switches integrated into the heater body. The same stainless steel pillar body and open grate casing as the PC60E holds 200 lbs of AC3000 stones (5 boxes, 5-10 cm, sold separately) in a fully visible stone column that puts the bather in direct control of steam quality: pour on the side of the stone column for soft, gentle steam; pour directly on top of the stone pillar for sharp, intense steam. The built-in heat shield keeps safety clearances minimal - just 1.2" at the sides and back from combustible materials. Optional HPC2 and HPCU2L bench embedding flanges allow the Cilindro to be integrated into a sauna bench. The PC60 ships on a wooden pallet. ETL certified. Made in Finland by Harvia.
PC60 - the Cilindro experience with built-in controls, nothing extra to buy
The Cilindro platform at 6kW is available in two configurations: the PC60E, which requires an external Xenio CX30 or Fenix FX30 controller for digital touchscreen and Wi-Fi control, and the PC60 (this listing), which has manual switch controls built directly into the heater body. The built-in controls mean the PC60 is operational as soon as it is wired and loaded with stones - no controller to purchase, no wall panel to mount, no additional wiring for the control cable. For a home sauna installation where simple, reliable operation is the priority and digital remote control is not needed, the PC60 delivers the complete Cilindro pillar experience - 200 lbs of adjustable-steam stone capacity in a stainless steel pillar - with nothing additional required beyond the stones. Harvia describes the Cilindro as impressive to both look at and experience, and the PC60 makes that experience as straightforward as possible to achieve.
Adjustable steam - soft or sharp with every pour
The Cilindro's open grate casing is what makes adjustable steam quality possible. The 200-lb stone column is fully visible and accessible through the partially open front. Water poured down the side of the stone column disperses across the outer stone surface, producing soft, gentle steam that rises broadly from the column. Water poured directly on top of the stone pillar contacts the hottest stones at the centre of the column and produces sharp, intense steam that rises quickly. Harvia's own description of this feature is direct: you can adjust between gentle and sharp steam by throwing water in the middle or on top of the stone pillar. No other electric heater in the Harvia lineup offers this type of active, in-session steam quality adjustment by the bather. It is the defining experiential feature of the entire Cilindro platform.
200 lbs of stones in a 14"x13" footprint - ultra-compact clearances
The Cilindro PC60 holds 200 lbs of AC3000 stones in a 14"W x 13"D x 40"H stainless steel pillar. The vertical stone column design stacks stones the full 40" height of the heater, achieving a stone capacity that far exceeds what would be possible in a conventional horizontal stone tray at the same footprint. The built-in heat shield reduces safety clearances to just 1.2" at sides and back from combustible materials, and 4" at the front. For a small sauna room in the 141-294 cu ft range, the combination of compact footprint, ultra-tight clearances, and large stone capacity makes the Cilindro PC60 one of the most space-efficient sauna heaters available. Optional embedding flanges allow full bench integration. Optional safety railings provide a protective surround for the open stone column.

⚠️ 200 lbs AC3000 stones (5 boxes, 5-10 cm) required - not included. No controller required - built-in manual switches included. Stones must be purchased separately before the heater can be operated. An additional box of stones is recommended for selection of best-fitting stones. Note that the Cilindro uses AC3000 stones (5-10 cm) - the same size as the KIP Series - not AC3020 (10-15 cm) used in the Virta Series and wood stoves. A licensed electrician is required for all wiring and installation per local code. Ships on a wooden pallet - a delivery appointment is required.
ℹ️ Cilindro PC60 (built-in controls) vs PC60E (external controller) - same pillar, different control approach. Cilindro PC60 HPCS6U1HBUL (this listing): 6kW, 141-294 cu ft, built-in manual switch controls integrated into the heater body, no separate controller required, no Wi-Fi or app capability, lower total cost, straightforward installation. Right choice when the Cilindro's open-grate stone pillar experience is the priority and simple built-in control is preferred. Cilindro PC60E HPCS6U1HUL: 6kW, 141-294 cu ft, requires external Xenio CX30 or Fenix FX30 controller - digital touchscreen, Wi-Fi connectivity, MyHarvia app access, two-group wiring option. Right choice when digital remote control and smartphone app access are priorities alongside the Cilindro experience. Both share the identical stainless steel pillar body, open grate casing, 200-lb stone capacity, adjustable steam quality, built-in heat shield, and 1.2" side and back clearances. The only difference is control method.

Why the Harvia Cilindro PC60 stands out
Built-in controls - no controller to buy, mount, or wire
The PC60's built-in manual switch controls mean the heater is complete as delivered. There is no Xenio or Fenix panel to purchase separately, no wall mounting location to plan, and no control cable to route from the heater to the panel. The manual switches integrated into the heater body handle everything needed to run the session. For a home sauna where straightforward operation is the goal and digital remote control is not a requirement, the PC60 delivers the complete Cilindro open-pillar stone experience with the simplest possible installation process and the lowest total system cost of any Cilindro configuration.
Adjustable steam - you control the experience with each pour
The Cilindro's open grate casing gives bathers direct access to the full stone column surface. Harvia's description is direct: you can adjust between gentle and sharp steam by throwing water in the middle or on top of the stone pillar. Pour down the side of the column for soft, distributed steam that rises gently across the room. Pour directly on top for sharp, concentrated steam that rises immediately and intensely. This adjustability is the reason Cilindro bathers describe the heater as impressive to experience - it puts the quality and character of each löyly round in the hands of whoever is holding the ladle, session by session. No other Harvia electric heater offers this real-time steam quality control.
200 lbs of stones - massive capacity in a compact pillar
Two hundred pounds of AC3000 stones in a 14"W x 13"D x 40"H pillar is an exceptional stone-to-footprint ratio. The Virta HL90E - a well-specified conventional floor heater - holds 110 lbs in a 16"x13"x33" body. The Cilindro PC60 holds 82% more stone mass in similar floor space by stacking the stones vertically in a 40" column rather than distributing them horizontally. The large stone mass stores substantial thermal energy during heat-up, produces consistent steam quality throughout the session, and maintains heat long after the elements cycle off. Harvia's own description of the Cilindro notes that it lets users place a heater containing a massive amount of stones in a small space.
Ultra-compact clearances with built-in heat shield
The Cilindro PC60's built-in heat shield reduces the required safety clearances to 1.2" at both sides and back from combustible materials, and 4" at the front. The floor clearance is 2.75" and ceiling clearance is 35". These are the tightest side and back clearances of any Harvia electric heater. For a compact sauna room in the 141-294 cu ft range where floor and bench space are at a premium, the Cilindro can be positioned extremely close to wooden walls and bench legs without requiring a non-combustible shield or standoff. The optional HPC2 and HPCU2L bench embedding flanges can integrate the Cilindro directly into a bench structure for an even more compact layout.
Optional bench embedding - Cilindro as part of the sauna
The HPC2 and HPCU2L flanges (sold separately) allow the Cilindro PC60 to be set into a bench platform so that only the stone column rises above the bench surface. This integrated installation makes the Cilindro part of the sauna architecture rather than a separate appliance standing on the floor. The HPCU2L version adds LED lighting around the flange for a distinctive ambient effect at bench level. The HPC3 and HPCU3L safety railings (sold separately) provide a protective surround around the open stone column in standard floor-standing installations. LED versions of both accessories are available and compatible with the PC60.
Cilindro PC60 in the Cilindro Half Series lineup
The HPCS6U1HBUL is the 6kW built-in control (manual) configuration of the Cilindro Half Series. The same Cilindro platform is available as: Cilindro PC60E (6kW, external controller, Wi-Fi and app via Xenio CX30 or Fenix FX30) and Cilindro PC80 / PC80E (8kW, same 141-294 cu ft range, more output for rooms with cold surfaces or high ceilings). The Cilindro Full Series (PC90, PC90E, PC120, PC120E) is a larger, fully enclosed cylindrical heater for larger room ranges. All Cilindro 6kW and 8kW Half Series models are compatible with the HPC2, HPCU2L, HPC3, and HPCU3L optional accessories. Designed and made in Finland by Harvia. We are an authorized Harvia dealer.
