The Harvia Cilindro PC90 is a 9kW floor-standing pillar-style electric sauna heater for rooms from 141 to 494 cubic feet with built-in time and temperature controls - no external Xenio or Fenix control panel purchase required. The PC90 is the self-contained version of the Cilindro pillar heater: the same cylindrical grate-like outer shell, elements running through the center of the stone column, partially open front, and two adjustable steam modes as the PC110E - but with the controls integrated directly into the heater. Sauna stones (200 lbs, 5 boxes of AC3000, 5-10 cm) are required for operation and sold separately. Delivery is by scheduled pallet freight.
Built-in controls - the key difference from PC110E
The PC90 and the PC110E are the same Cilindro Half pillar heater in two control configurations. The PC90 (this listing) has built-in time and temperature controls integrated into the heater body - a 1 to 8-hour session timer and temperature control accessible directly at the unit. No separate Xenio or Fenix control panel is required to operate the PC90. The PC110E has no built-in controls and requires an external Xenio or Fenix panel purchase. For buyers who want the Cilindro pillar heater without the additional cost and installation complexity of a separate control unit, the PC90 is the self-contained choice. If remote control via the MyHarvia app or Fenix touchscreen functionality is wanted, the PC110E with a Xenio CX30 WiFi or Fenix FX30 control is the appropriate path.
Pillar design - adjustable steam, massive stone mass
The PC90's cylindrical pillar form with grate-like outer shell and partially open front is the same Cilindro Half architecture as the PC110E. The stainless steel heating elements run vertically through the center of the 200-lb stone column - heating stones from within for even, consistent temperature throughout the mass. The two steam interaction modes that define the Cilindro experience are fully present on the PC90: pour water onto the side or middle of the stone pillar for soft, gentle steam as water filters through the outer cooler stone layers; pour directly onto the top of the stone pillar for sharp, intense steam as water contacts the hottest stones at the column summit. The industrial-grade, serviceable heating elements are designed for long operational life and can be individually replaced as service items, unlike non-serviceable element designs.
Built-in heat shield and flexible floor placement
Like the PC110E, the PC90 includes a built-in heat shield that protects the adjacent sauna wall and reduces the required safety distances to combustible surfaces. The heater is designed for side wall or corner of room installation - the circular footprint and tall pillar profile allow it to be positioned in corners or against walls where a rectangular heater of equivalent output and stone mass would require more floor space and clearance. At 14"W x 13"D x 40"H, the PC90 occupies a relatively compact floor footprint for a heater with 200 lbs of stones. A licensed electrician is required. Do not connect to a GFI/GFCI breaker.

⚠️ 200 lbs AC3000 stones (5 boxes, 5-10 cm) required - not included. Stones must be purchased separately. Note: Cilindro uses AC3000 in 5-10 cm size - not AC3020 10-15 cm used by most other Harvia heaters. An additional box is recommended. A licensed electrician is required. Do not connect to a GFI/GFCI breaker.
ℹ️ PC90 vs PC110E - built-in vs external control. PC90 (this listing): 9kW, built-in controls (1-8 hr timer + temperature), 200 lbs stones (5 boxes), 141-494 cu ft - complete standalone installation, no Xenio needed. PC110E: 10.5kW, external Xenio or Fenix control required (sold separately), 264 lbs stones (6 boxes), 141-636 cu ft - adds WiFi app control capability via Xenio CX30 WiFi or Fenix FX30. Both use the same pillar design, same two steam modes, same AC3000 5-10cm stones, same ETL certification, same pallet delivery. Choose PC90 for self-contained operation without a separate control purchase. Choose PC110E for app-based remote control, higher output, or a larger room range.

Why the Harvia Cilindro PC90 stands out
Built-in controls - complete standalone installation
The PC90 arrives as a fully operable unit - only stones and an electrical connection are needed to complete the installation. The built-in 1 to 8-hour timer and temperature control on the heater body provide all the control needed for a home sauna without purchasing a separate Xenio or Fenix panel. For buyers who want the Cilindro pillar heater's unique steam experience and stone mass without the additional cost or complexity of an external control system, the PC90 is the self-contained choice.
Two distinct steam experiences - one heater
The PC90's partially open front and tall stone column provide the same two steam modes as the PC110E. Pour water on the side for soft, layered steam as the water filters through cooler outer stones before reaching the heated core. Pour directly on top for sharp, intense steam as the water contacts the hottest stones at the column summit. No other Harvia heater with built-in controls offers this bather-controlled steam variability from a single unit.
Industrial-grade serviceable elements
The PC90's stainless steel heating elements are described as industrial-grade and serviceable - designed for a longer operational life and individually replaceable rather than requiring full heater replacement when an element fails. This is a meaningful long-term maintenance advantage: as elements age and eventually reach the end of their service life, they can be replaced individually without replacing the entire heater body, preserving the PC90's investment over years of regular sauna use.
200 lbs of stones - large thermal mass in a compact footprint
At 200 lbs of AC3000 stones in a 14"W x 13"D x 40"H pillar, the PC90 achieves a stone-to-footprint ratio that no rectangular wall heater in the 9kW range approaches. The tall column concentrates 200 lbs of stone mass vertically in a compact floor area - the pillar architecture makes possible a stone capacity that would require a much wider or deeper heater in a conventional rectangular form factor. The large stone mass provides sustained heat and generous steam production throughout the session.
Elements through center - even stone heating
The stainless steel heating elements run vertically through the center of the stone column, heating the stone mass from within. Central element positioning heats stones throughout the column more evenly than base-mounted or peripheral element arrangements. Even stone heating improves steam consistency when water is ladled at any point in the session and ensures the full 200-lb stone mass reaches and maintains bathing temperature, not just the stones nearest the elements.
141-494 cu ft - side wall or corner placement
The PC90's 141-494 cu ft room range covers everything from a small personal sauna at the low end to a medium-large residential sauna at the upper end. The built-in heat shield and circular pillar footprint allow side wall or corner placement - the heater can be positioned in corners where rectangular heaters require more clearance from two surfaces. Use the Size Your Sauna document below to calculate adjusted cubic footage before confirming the PC90 is correctly sized for the specific room. A licensed electrician is required.
