HIVE Mini heaters come with a lot of flexibility when it comes to placing the heater. The floor-mounting setup provides a lot of options when designing the layout of the sauna. Few popular options are to embed the heater on the benches and another common way is just to place it in the corner or middle of the sauna where there are no benches.
As all the other electric HUUM heaters, the HIVE Mini’s are controlled via a HUUM UKU control panel. You can read more about the HUUM UKU control panels from the HUUM UKU collection page. HIVE Mini’s can be controlled with any of the available HUUM UKU controllers.
HUUM likes to draw inspiration from nature when they design their heaters and HIVE Mini’s are not an exception to this rule. As you may notice, the heater's name and design is actually drawn from a beehive. Therefore it could be said that these heaters are a combination of nature and modern technology.
HUUM offers 2 types of sauna heater stones: round olivine 12 and round olivine 24 stones. The only real difference between the two is the size. HIVE Mini uses the larger HUUM stones and needs ten (10) boxes of them. We strongly recommend using only the official HUUM stones.
Mini heaters power output ranges from 6kW to 10.5kW. This means that the heaters are suitable for sauna rooms from 175 to 600 adj. cubic feet. HIVE Mini models have a large stone capacity of 370 lbs. Large stone capacity ensures long-lasting, mild and even steam experience. HUUM HIVE Mini’s are wired with 240V/1PH. You can also wire it with 208V/1PH but keep in mind that it will reduce the power output by 25%.

Here are additional accessories for HUUM HIVE Mini (sold separately):
If you have a standard sized home sauna, we think that you really can’t go wrong with this heater. However, for example if you prefer a wall-mounted heater or the 6kW (smallest HIVE Mini) is too large for your sauna, we recommend checking out the HUUM Drop lineup. Drop is a beautiful wall-mounted lineup ranging from 4.5kW to 9kW. On the other hand, if you need a bigger heater, be sure to check out the HIVE Mini’s big brother lineup HIVE that ranges from 12kW up to 18kW.
