The kit was very well organized and provided clear instructions. My son and I built the kit in one weekend. The hardware supply was MORE than adequate. I have plenty of quality hardware leftover for future projects.

Gorgeous and lovely. The build is significant, but the end result is a great sauna.

Thanks for the great service - greatly appreciated.

Honestly, if you’re looking for a real Finnish-style sauna but don't want to spend a fortune, just get the SaunaLife CL4G. I spent months researching kits and almost bought a barrel sauna, but I’m so glad I chose this cube shape. The heat is just way better because of the flat ceiling and rounded corners.

Ordered this sauna fall 2024 and we love it. Took about 2 weekends to get it put together myself but it went pretty well. We chose pine over cedar to save some money and still don't mind that we did so. I'm biased but always recommend getting a wood burning stove whenever possible.

I'll be honest, I was nervous about the assembly. I'm not a handy person. But the modular design is genuinely well thought out. My brother and I built the whole thing in a Weekend. The electrician came Monday morning, had the 240V wired in about 45 minutes, and we did our first session that same evening.

I went with the HUUM Drop heater on the recommendation from the Topture team, and I'm glad I did. The stone mass on that thing is unreal. I can throw ladle after ladle of water and the steam just keeps coming. Thick, soft, exactly like the saunas I used in Finland. The WiFi control is the other game changer. I hit 'start' on the app when I leave the office, and by the time I pull into the driveway 45 minutes later, the sauna is at 210 degrees and waiting for me. It's become my daily wind-down ritual.

My wife and I were spending $380 a month on a wellness spa just for the sauna. That's over $4,500 a year. The CL4G paid for itself before we even hit the one-year mark. We use it almost every night now. Step out the back door, it's already preheated from the app, and we're in our own private sauna in 30 seconds.

We had a barrel sauna for three years and I honestly thought that was as good as it gets for a home setup. I was wrong. The CL5G is a completely different experience. The flat interior walls make it feel twice the size.

We thought about buying a sauna for years and finally did. We absolutely love it, especially in the winter. It’s incredibly easy to assemble with two people the whole family uses it.

Been using the Hive Mini for couple years now... I love it. Really happy with the 230 max temp, long timers (doesn't shut off after 1 hour!), beauty, and incredible steam.

Absolutely fantastic stove! Gentle heat and great look. We are thrilled with the HIVE Wood 13. Yes, it takes its time to heat up (approx. 1 - 1.5 hours, depending on the wood), but that's normal with this amount of stones. The wait is worth it! The warmth is incredibly soft and even throughout the whole room.

Great Value
We installed the 6kW KIP in our backyard barrel sauna. It is a no-frills heater that consistently hits 180°F without issue. The unit provides a good amount of steam for an authentic löyly. A classic, reliable heater that we expect to last for years.

Amazing steam! A traditional experience with modern style. Amazing steam! This stove is the soul of our sauna. We chose the HIVE Wood 17 because of its massive stone capacity, and we have not regretted it. The stove requires a proper heating-up, but it rewards you with soft and long-lasting steam.

Quick Heat We chose the M3 for its compact size and solid reputation. It’s perfect for saunas in the 200-450 cu ft range, providing fast heat-up times compared to higher stone-mass stoves. The graphite black finish and stainless steel accents look sharp. It's a no-frills, durable workhorse.

Amazing Heater! The Cilindro is sleek and heats up my sauna perfectly. A truly authentic sauna experience.

5-Stars
HUUM HIVE Electric Sauna Heater

Classic and Reliable
The KIP heater is a solid performer. It heats up our small sauna fast and the external control is very intuitive. Excellent value for a traditional Finnish sauna experience.

The Modern Wood-Fired Experience
The Hive Flow has the best of both worlds: the look of a sleek modern heater and the authentic heat of a traditional wood stove. Its efficiency is outstanding. I use noticeably less wood than my old stove for the same amount of heat. The 330 lb of stones are the real star, delivering a soft, rolling steam that lasts forever, even well after the fire has died down. The large glass door is beautiful, turning the sauna into a cozy, fire-lit sanctuary.

The Best of Both Worlds
I chose the KIP 8kW E-model with the Xenio digital controller for my custom build. This setup is fantastic. I wanted the proven longevity of the KIP but needed the flexibility to tuck the heater beneath the lower bench. The remote Xenio controller mounted outside the door is sleek, easy to read, and lets me preheat the sauna from the comfort of my home, which is a game-changer. It heats up my 300 cubic-foot room in about 40 minutes and delivers that perfect, soft Finnish löyly. Worth the extra cost for the digital control.

Excellent Value and Ambiance The M3 delivers incredible value for a true wood-fired experience. The included removable ash pan makes cleaning easy, and the overall construction feels robust. The enchanting crackle of the fire visible through the glass door truly defines the sauna's atmosphere.

Smooth Upgrade, Solid Heat Swapped our old heater for the Harvia Spirit SP80E and couldn’t be happier. Delivery was quick and the packaging was sturdy, no dings. The wall-mount bracket made positioning easy, though we did have a licensed electrician wire the 240V connection.

Showpiece performance with everyday convenience Ordered the HUUM Drop for our 7x7 cedar sauna and it’s been fantastic. Delivery was quick and everything arrived spotless. The wall mount was straightforward. I had an electrician handle the 240V hookup.

Powerful Steam The HUUM STEEL is the perfect solution for my small, modern home sauna. Its slender, square shape and incredibly small safety distances allowed for an installation right next to the wall, maximizing bench space.

Crate was intact except one stave had a tongue that was broken that I had to glue together. A couple staves broke partially on the ends because the datos were too tight even when you were pounding on each end to keep it level. The grooved blocks were always used. Those were re-glued together.

It's a beaut!
The Huum controller and heater is a really well designed combination. We utilized the lighting and fan controls as well for our sauna. It has performed very well and we have had only mild breaking of stones to date. Very satisfied overall with this purchase.

Great service and fast shipping

Reliable Workhorse for Frequent Use
We run a small rental cabin, so reliability matters. The SP80E has been rock solid and the stone mass keeps heat steady. Wall-mounting saved floor space, and the stainless housing still looks new after constant use.

Great Steam and Clean Loading
Arrived on schedule, well packed. We chose the LS version and love loading from the changing room, keeps the bench area extra tidy. Install was straightforward with the manual; customer support quickly answered a flue-size question. Beautiful build and dependable heat. Highly recommend.

I purchased this Sauna in White Cedar with 2 Windows and the Harvia Electric Heater and absolutely love it! It was easy to assemble in a few hours and is very high quality. I got the manual dial and it heats up quickly and provides up to 80% humidity when putting water on the rocks.

My sauna heater is really, really old, but it still works so I still use it. That said, the rocks were also really old. These new stones look so much better and seem to even hold the heat better as well. Like I said in the title, I had no idea what I was missing! Puts a lot of new life into an old, Montgomery Ward heater.

The only problem I had was waiting for delivery. I mean, c'mon...3 months for delivery.

I initially had concerns about the snow load with the True North 5 Person Outdoor Cabin Sauna, but it’s handled heavy snow with no problem at all. Paired with the HUUM Drop 7.5kW heater, it delivers an amazing, steamy sauna experience that I highly recommend.

The Urban Sauna Champion
This heater is ideal for city apartments or converted closets. Its slim design is a minimalist triumph. The large stone capacity and fast heating, thanks to the air duct, provide an authentic, high-quality sauna experience without sacrificing valuable space.

The Best Löyly, Period.
If you prioritize authentic, mild, and humid steam, the HIVE is unmatched. The huge stone volume holds heat beautifully for extended sessions. Its unique, cylindrical design is an aesthetic win. Absolutely recommend for any medium-to-large sauna room.

As someone who has tried multiple saunas over the years, the Finnmark FD-4 Trinity Infrared & Steam Sauna Combo is by far the best I’ve encountered. It heats up quickly, and the infrared heat feels soothing, while the steam option delivers that classic, deeply relaxing sweat.
Installation was straightforward, and it fits perfectly in my home. My partner and I use it several times a week, and it has truly elevated our wellness routine. Whether you’re looking for relaxation, detoxification, or just a moment of calm in your day, this sauna offers it all. Highly recommend it!

Great Workhorse, but Be Mindful of the Controls. This is a solid, reliable heater that has never given us a moment of trouble. The stainless steel construction looks great and feels durable. It heats our medium-sized barrel sauna efficiently, even in cold weather.

Even, breathable heat and whisper-quiet operation
Arrived on a pallet, well packaged, and my electrician had it wired to a 50A breaker in under an hour. Assembly was mostly stone loading, the 198 lbs is no joke, so have a helper. The air mixing makes a real difference: no more hot head, cold feet. The fan is very quiet, and the salt tray adds a gentle, clean feel to the steam. I love the post-session drying function. Sleek Nordic black finish looks great, too. Highly recommend.

Solved a Sauna Design Flaw
My sauna room had a low-bench platform design that always struggled with circulation and proper ventilation, leading to stale, harsh air. The Saunum was a game-changer. It actively draws air from the ceiling and pushes the blended, oxygen-rich heat back out, salvaging the entire room. The stratified air is gone in under a minute, and the soft, even heat means I stay more alert and less light-headed. If you have an existing sauna with circulation issues, this heater is the fix you need.

I was initially hesitant about the Dundalk Leisurecraft Georgian Cabin Sauna Canadian Timber 6 Person (CTC88W) because of the size and the price point. However, after using it for a while, I can confidently say it's worth every penny.

We chose the G2 for its solid Nordic Spruce cabin construction and were not disappointed. It feels sturdy and durable, engineered to last. The full-length glass door is a huge aesthetic win, bringing the backyard view right in. We paired it with a HUUM Drop 9kW heater and it comfortably hits 195F in under an hour, even when it's near freezing outside. The only minor critique is the assembly instructions could be clearer in spots, but the quality of the materials, especially the knotless Aspen benches, is exceptional.

The Gold Standard for Dependable Electric Heat. After researching dozens of heaters for my DIY sauna build, I settled on the Harvia KIP 8kW, and it was the easiest part of the installation. The wiring was straightforward, and the heater itself is a tank.

Compact heater, big performance
The compact footprint was perfect for my small room. Delivery was quick, and installation with an electrician took under two hours. Paired with HUUM’s UKU Wi‑Fi control.

Elegant heater, smooth delivery
Arrived fast and well-packed; not a scratch. Mounting to the wall was straightforward, and it cleaned up the floor space in our small cedar room. Highly recommend.

Ordered Huum Wifi Controler. Shipped within a few days from Chicago to California. Great price and reliable. Benny was helpful. Will buy from them again.

I loved the lighting strips that I ordered and installed. The only thing I would change are the drivers for the LED’s could be better. The app isn’t great and I had to setup a Dev account to grand cloud access to the lights in order to integrate them with homekit. An LED driver that has Matter support would be better. That said the lights themselves in the Sauna are amazing and the remote control is well designed and it was easy to sync one remote to both drivers so both strips turn on and off together as well as change colors.

A Powerhouse for Large Saunas We installed the HUUM HIVE 15kW in our new large family sauna, and it is a marvel. The immense stone capacity is the secret to the incredibly soft, consistent, and long-lasting löyly (steam).

Best Heater for a Home Sauna - Simple and Gets Hot Fast. You can't beat the KIP for value and function. We have the 6kW model in our modest 7x7 indoor sauna, and it performs perfectly. The built-in controls are exactly what we wanted. No fancy external controller, no confusing settings.

Soft steam and beautiful design
Upgraded to the 9 kW for a taller ceiling. Once warmed, the thick stone bed gives silky steam without spikes. I had it put on a 50A circuit.

Excellent Steam, Slow Warm-up The HIVE is stunning, transforming our sauna into a modern spa. The enormous thermal mass provides the best, softest steam imaginable, lasting well into the second and third water throws. My only complaint is the warm-up time; despite the air tunnel, heating 250 kg of stone takes a while.

Sleek Look, Amazing Steam. Total Space Saver. Absolutely love my HUUM CLIFF. It’s the perfect solution for my small sauna, tucking neatly against the wall thanks to its slender profile.

Great design and Performance.
This heater is a stylish addition to my corner sauna. The half-pillar design saves space while still holding a huge amount of stones. It delivers a soft, consistent heat and the steam production is fantastic. Highly recommend for a home sauna.

Elegant Design, Gentle Steam, Worth Every Penny We installed the HUUM Drop 7.5kW in our small home sauna about a month ago and couldn’t be happier. The first thing everyone notices is how beautiful it looks, it almost feels like a sculpture on the wall.

Solid build, easy professional install
Had an electrician wire the 7.5 kW on a 40A breaker; mounting bracket made placement simple. Looks fantastic.

A Stunning, Space-Saving Centerpiece with Fantastic Löyly The HUUM CLIFF 9kW has completely transformed my small home sauna. I chose this model specifically for its incredibly slim footprint and minimal safety distances, which allowed me to maximize bench space, a major win in a tight area.

Remote preheat is a game changer
Went with the 6 kW for a 7x7 room. Would buy again.

The centerpiece of our sauna. A true showstopper. We chose the HIVE Wood 17 LS model, which feeds through the wall from our changing room, and it is the best decision we ever made. The mess from the wood stays outside, and inside, we just get the beautiful glow from the huge glass door. The heat is... different.

We have our sauna for 5 month now and are very happy. My skin looks great and I feel like my immune system improved as well.

We had some help by a friend of ours with the set up but everything turned out quite nice and without any problems. We enjoy ite everytime we use it. Good investment.

We got our sauna within the indicated time frame and are very happy with it. We've been using it for 3 months now and can only recommend it. Also big thumbs up for the guys at topture for their help and support.

A great way to detox and relax. My mood and sleep have greatly improved. Whenever we had a stressful day our barrel sauna is our way to overcome it.

The sauna is very easy to install. We are now using our sauan almost daly and are very happy with it.

Great design and very good quality. Truly relaxing and great after a long day of work.
