Which should you get?

Output is identical, so decide on control and stones. More stone mass (softer, longer-lasting löyly) favours the Harvia Cilindro PC90E.

FAQ

Is the Harvia Cilindro PC90E or Vevor 9kW External Control (SCA-90BW) bigger?

They are the same output, both 9 kW, so neither heats a bigger room than the other. With size off the table the decision comes down to control type, how much stone each holds (more stone gives a softer, longer-lasting steam), warranty and price, all laid out in the table above.

Do the Harvia Cilindro PC90E and Vevor 9kW External Control (SCA-90BW) need the same circuit?

Yes. Both draw close enough that they land on the same 50 A breaker at 240V with 8 AWG copper on a short run, so swapping one for the other later would not mean re-wiring. Long cable runs can still push either up a wire size for voltage drop.
