Homecraft Revive Slim Electric Sauna Heater | 8-Inch Deep, 4, 5 and 6 kW

If you have measured your room three times and keep landing a couple of inches short, this is the heater to look at. The Slim is a 36 inch tower on an 8 inch footprint, and it was designed for exactly the corner you are trying to work with: a basement nook, a converted closet, a small spa room, or an infrared cabin you are adding real stones to.

Will it fit?

The heater is 13.5 inches wide, 8 inches deep and 36 inches tall. It wants 3.5 inches of clearance to anything combustible and 42 inches from the top of the heater to the ceiling.

Here is the part worth knowing before you redraw your bench: the Homecraft wall baffle takes that 3.5 inches down to 1 inch. It is a stainless shield that mounts between the heater and the wall, it costs less than moving a stud, and on a small room it usually buys back a whole seat. If your layout is tight, add it.

Which size do I need?

Multiply length by width by ceiling height and use cubic feet, not floor area. These ranges are from the Revive Slim install manual.

Glass, tile or stone in the room will slow the warm-up even when the insulation is good. If you are near the top of a range, take the next size up.

What does my electrician need to know?

Supply conductors are 14 AWG or larger rated to at least 90 C. No GFCI breaker unless your local code requires it. No receptacles inside the sauna room. The connection has to be made by a certified electrician, which is a warranty condition and not just advice.

What else do I have to buy?

Two things, and neither is in the heater carton. Nobody enjoys finding this out on install day.

• A contactor box and a touchpad. The TKE2-2 box holds the transformer and contactor and hides in the wall (build an access panel). The touchpad mounts outside the sauna in a two-gang box. Indoor and weatherproof outdoor versions of the box, and a Wi-Fi touchpad if you want to start the room from your phone.
• Rock. 4 boxes at 35 lbs. Stack it loose with gaps rather than packed tight, big stones first, until the element protector is covered.

Both are options on this page so they arrive together.

Where yours actually ships from

We source this line through a New York warehouse whenever the size you want is on the floor there, which covers the fastest-moving models. Anything not in stock is built to order in Surrey and crosses as Canadian origin under USMCA, so there is no import duty either way, just a longer window. We read all three supply feeds every morning, so ask before you book an electrician and we will tell you what is really on the floor today.

What it is made of, and how long it is covered

Stainless steel throughout, built by Homecraft in Surrey, British Columbia, where they have been making sauna heaters for over three decades. CSA and UL certified, and Homecraft makes a point of that one: their argument is that an approved heater is what keeps a homeowner’s insurance intact if anything ever goes wrong. Two year manufacturer warranty when installed and run to the manual. Heating elements are treated as a consumable and the manuals exclude them, so ask us to confirm element coverage in writing on your order.
