Topture is rated 4.9/5 by 461+ verified customers

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.

Verified owner

Ordered this sauna fall 2024 and we love it. No better feeling during a Minnesota winter. Lastly, I have to mention the customer service for this purchase has been like no other. Any questions or requests I had were addressed immediately by Topture. I got more than I expected from them and have already recommended them to several people looking for saunas. SO if you're thinking about it, JUST DO IT already..

Thanks for the great service - greatly appreciated.

WHY BUY FROM TOPTURE?

The sauna may be the same. The buying experience isn't.

Buying a sauna involves more than choosing a model and clicking checkout. Heater sizing, electrical requirements, freight delivery, installation, and warranty support all matter.

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. The built-in time and temp controls are easy to use; the delay start is a major plus for planning sessions.

My one small critique is the placement of the dials: they're located low on the unit, so you have to lean way down to adjust them. If you prefer adjusting the heat while you're sitting, you might consider an external control model. But if you value reliability and want to save money by avoiding a separate control unit, the KIP with built-ins is a fantastic choice.

Thanks for the thoughtful review of the Harvia KIP! We are glad to hear it’s been a great experience for you and that the delay start is a win. Enjoy those sauna sessions!

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. It delivers a fast, powerful heat that perfectly suits a dry-style sauna session.

I mainly bought this unit for the simplicity of the built-in controls. Fewer things to wire, fewer things to break. The 60-minute auto-shutoff timer is a critical safety feature, and the 8-hour pre-set timer makes my routine effortless. If you want a top-rated, traditional Finnish heater that focuses purely on performance without the digital bells and whistles, this is it. Reliable, durable, and UL-certified.

Awesome to hear the DIY install was a breeze and the built-in controls gave you the simplicity you wanted. Enjoy every session with your Harvia KIP!

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. Just two dials: one for temperature, and one for the timer/preset. I love that I can set the delay timer in the morning and have the sauna hot and waiting for me after work. It heats up quickly (under 45 minutes to 170°F). It may not hold as many stones as some fancy column heaters, but the steam is satisfying, and the heat is intense. It's a proven design that simply works.

Love hearing this! You nailed the best part of the Harvia KIP: simple built-in controls that heat up fast and reliably, so your sauna’s ready right when you are. Enjoy those post‑work sessions!

STILL UNSURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

General

Where are you located, and where do you ship from?

We are a U.S.-operated company with our main headquarters in Sheridan, Wyoming.

Orders are shipped across the continental U.S. from our network of warehouses, managed by our logistics partners in California, Illinois, Texas, New York, Florida, and Toronto.

How much is shipping?

Orders over $200 ship free within the continental United States. Orders under $200 carry a small shipping fee.

Two exceptions: SaunaLife and ThermaSol products carry a freight charge at any order value, and sauna stones ordered without a heater ship at $60 per box because of their weight.

Every charge is shown at checkout before you pay.

Do you provide financing?

Absolutely! To view your financing offer, simply select Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at Step 3 of checkout.

You'll need to enter a debit card to receive your offer, but don’t worry—you can still back out before completing the purchase.

How long will it take for my items to arrive?

If your order is in stock, most orders ship within 2–7 business days of purchase. Transit time then depends on the distance from the warehouse and, for freight, on booking a delivery appointment.

For custom, pre-order or made-to-order items, the estimated delivery time frame is listed on the product page. Delivery dates are estimates, so please don't book installation labor until your order has arrived and been inspected.

What happens after I place my order?

As soon as you place your order, you'll receive a confirmation email with your order details—be sure to keep it for your records. Once your order ships, you'll receive another email with tracking information.

For freight deliveries, the carrier will call or text you to schedule an appointment once the shipment reaches their local terminal. Someone needs to be there to inspect the shipment and sign for it. Smaller parcels arrive by UPS or FedEx without an appointment.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, all products come with a manufacturer warranty. You can find the specific warranty details for each product under the "Warranty" tab on its product page.

Do you have a showroom?

We don’t have a showroom — we sell online. Our team is available by phone, email and chat to help you compare models, sizes and heaters, and we can send dimensions, installation manuals and electrical requirements before you buy.

Where do you deliver to?

We deliver throughout the 48 contiguous states, with curbside freight delivery for large items. Free shipping and standard rates apply there only. Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, other U.S. islands and Canada are quoted separately, depending on the brand and model. We can't ship freight or oversized items to P.O. boxes.

Do you ship internationally?

International Shipping

For many products, yes, including to Canada, by custom quote. Email contact@topture.com with the product and your address before you order; availability and cost depend on the brand and model. Any duties, taxes and customs fees are your responsibility.

Shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico

Free shipping applies to the continental United States only. Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and other U.S. islands is quoted separately and depends on the brand and model. Email contact@topture.com for a quote before you order.
