What the AI looks for in Steam Showers
- Generator sizing
- Size by room cubic volume and add capacity for stone, tile or glass walls Undersized generators never reach steam temperature.
- Electrical
- Dedicated 240V circuit per the generator's specs Steam generators draw high current.
- Enclosure
- Vapor-tight floor-to-ceiling walls and door, with a sloped ceiling Steam escapes and damages surrounding framing, and drips from flat ceilings.
- Cabin vs built-in
- Prefer a built-in generator over an all-in-one acrylic cabin Cabins often have weak generators and poor parts support.
Brands that matter
- Mr. Steam: Long-standing generator maker.
- ThermaSol: Premium generators and controls.
- SteamSpa: Budget generator kits.
What to avoid
- Unbranded all-in-one steam cabins
- Rooms without a vapor barrier
- Undersized generators
