The HUUM HIVE sauna heater lineup stands out for its impressive stone capacity, up to 80 kg (~175 lbs) in larger models, creating the gentle, enveloping heat that defines an authentic sauna experience.
What sets the HIVE heater apart is its distinctive cylindrical design that maximizes stone volume while maintaining an elegant footprint.

Turn your space into the ultimate relaxation zone with our sauna heaters and electric sauna heaters.
Understanding the HUUM HIVE Series: HIVE vs. HIVE Mini
The HUUM HIVE family consists of two distinct product lines, each designed for specific applications and sauna room requirements. Understanding the differences between the standard HUUM HIVE models and the HUUM HIVE Mini series is essential for selecting the perfect heater for your space.
The standard HUUM HIVE models (12kW, 15kW, and 18kW) are designed for larger installations, featuring massive stone capacities and robust construction suitable for high-usage environments. These models excel in commercial saunas, large residential installations, or any application where maximum heating power and stone capacity are priorities.
In contrast, the HIVE Mini series offers the same exceptional design philosophy in a more compact package. The HUUM HIVE Mini models (6kW, 9kW, and 11kW) provide substantial stone capacity and heating power while fitting into smaller sauna rooms or installations where space efficiency matters.
Both product lines within the HUUM series share the signature cylindrical design that defines the HUUM aesthetic. More than just a stylish look, the cylindrical design enhances airflow around the stones, providing even heating and better steam than conventional rectangular heaters.
The choice between HIVE and HIVE Mini depends primarily on your sauna room size, usage patterns, and power requirements.
Both lines deliver the same exceptional build quality and performance characteristics that have made HUUM a preferred choice among discerning sauna owners.
Sizing and Specifications: Choosing the Right HUUM HIVE Model
Proper sizing is crucial for optimal sauna performance, and selecting the right HUUM HIVE model requires careful consideration of your sauna room's cubic volume, insulation quality, and desired heating characteristics.
The general guideline is approximately 1 kW per 45-50 cubic feet, though factors like ceiling height, window area, and insulation type can significantly impact requirements.
For precise sizing recommendations, we strongly recommend using a sauna heater size calculator, which considers multiple variables to determine the ideal heater capacity for your specific installation. This tool helps prevent both undersizing, which leads to poor performance, and oversizing, which wastes energy and can create uncomfortably rapid heating.
The HUUM HIVE mini 9kW represents the most popular choice in the Mini series, suitable for sauna rooms ranging from 300 to 450 cubic feet. The HUUM HIVE 12kW serves as the entry point for the standard series, handling larger spaces up to 600 cubic feet. At the top end, the HUUM HIVE 9kW (in the Mini series) provides excellent performance for mid-sized residential saunas.
Each model's specifications include detailed electrical requirements, mounting dimensions, and stone capacity information. The mini Hive models usually require 240V single-phase power, while larger HUUM HIVE models may require three-phase power for commercial installations.
Professional consultation ensures proper sizing and electrical planning for your specific application.
Stone capacity varies dramatically across the range, from 25 kg in the smallest hive mini models to 80 kg in the largest standard HIVE units. This substantial stone mass is what creates the gentle, long-lasting heat that transforms your sauna sessions from merely hot to truly therapeutic.
HIVE Mini 6 kW
The HIVE Mini 6 kW serves as the perfect entry point into the HUUM HIVE Mini series, designed specifically for smaller sauna installations up to 300 cubic feet. Despite its compact 6 kW output, this model maintains the impressive stone capacity that defines the HUUM HIVE Mini lineup, providing authentic sauna heat in the smallest packages.
This model excels in apartment saunas, guest house installations, or compact home saunas where space efficiency is paramount. The substantial stone capacity relative to its power output ensures consistent steam production and gentle heat that doesn't overwhelm smaller spaces.
Installation requirements include 240V single-phase power with a 30-amp circuit breaker, making it accessible for most residential electrical systems. The compact footprint allows installation in tight spaces while maintaining proper clearances for safety and performance.
HIVE Mini 9 kW
The HUUM HIVE Mini 9kW represents the sweet spot in the Mini series, offering substantial heating power for sauna rooms ranging from 300 to 450 cubic feet. This model has become our most popular choice among homeowners seeking professional-grade performance in a reasonably sized package.
The HUUM HIVE Mini 9kW delivers impressive stone capacity while maintaining moderate electrical requirements, typically 40 amps at 240V single-phase power. This makes it accessible for most homes with standard electrical service upgrades.
What makes this HIVE heater particularly appealing is its versatility. It provides ample power for quick heating while maintaining the gentle heat characteristics that define the HUUM experience.
Whether you're using your sauna daily or occasionally, the Mini 9kW delivers consistent, reliable performance that enhances every session.
HIVE Mini 11 kW
The HIVE Mini 11 kW represents the top tier of the Mini series, designed for larger residential saunas up to 550 cubic feet. This model bridges the gap between the compact Mini series and the full-sized HUUM HIVE models, providing substantial heating power in a relatively compact package.
The HUUM HIVE Mini 11 kW offers impressive stone capacity and efficient heating elements that provide rapid warm-up times without compromising the gentle heat quality that defines the HUUM HIVE sauna heater experience. The robust construction ensures reliable operation even with frequent use.
Electrical requirements generally include 240V power with appropriate circuit protection, though specific requirements depend on local codes and installation conditions. The larger stone capacity in this model creates exceptional steam quality that rivals much larger commercial heaters.
HIVE 12 kW
The HUUM HIVE 12kW marks the beginning of the full-sized HIVE series, designed for larger residential saunas and light commercial applications. This model handles sauna rooms up to 600 cubic feet, providing the substantial heating power needed for larger spaces or high-usage environments.
The HUUM HIVE 12kW features significantly larger stone capacity compared to the Mini series, creating the gentle, enveloping heat that serious sauna enthusiasts demand.
The robust construction and commercial-grade components ensure reliable operation even with frequent use.
This HIVE heater model serves as an excellent choice for large family saunas, small commercial installations, or any application where reliability and performance are priorities. The substantial stone mass provides exceptional steam quality and heat retention that transforms every sauna session.
HIVE 15 kW
The HIVE 15 kW steps into commercial territory, designed for sauna rooms up to 750 cubic feet and high-usage environments. This model provides the heating power and durability needed for spas, hotels, fitness centers, or large residential installations with multiple daily users.
The impressive stone capacity in the HUUM HIVE 15 kW model creates exceptional steam quality that remains consistent even with continuous use. The robust heating elements and commercial-grade construction ensure reliable operation in demanding environments.
