Harvia Spirit SP60E: a 6 kW curved wall heater with the stones on show, for saunas up to 294 cubic feet
The Harvia Spirit SP60E is the smallest Spirit, a 6 kW electric sauna heater for rooms from 177 to 294 cubic feet. Its curved body is made of stacked stainless steel hoops that put the rounded stones on show. A black panel runs down the front, and the heater is wall mounted on the included bracket to keep the floor clear. It measures 15 inches wide, 13 inches deep, and 29.5 inches tall and weighs 140 pounds with its 110 pounds of stones loaded. It heats up quickly, and a safety device on top guards the stones.
You get the heater, the wall bracket, the top safety device, and the manual. It needs a Harvia Xenio wall control to run, and you add that on the page. Sauna stones are sold separately, so add the 4 boxes it needs on the page. A black birch safety rail and a bucket and ladle set are optional. Have a larger room? The Harvia Spirit SP80E sauna heater covers up to 431 cubic feet. The Harvia Spirit SP60E ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What size sauna room is a 6kW heater like this right for?
The SP60E is rated for sauna rooms of 177 to 294 adjusted cubic feet per the specification table. Measure your sauna’s interior volume and make sure it lands inside that range before ordering; the Sizing Your Harvia guide linked in the description walks through the calculation, and the installation manual has the final placement guidance.
Does this heater come with a control, or do I need one?
The Spirit SP60E requires a separate Harvia Xenio control – it does not have controls built into the heater body. The page states it is compatible with the Harvia Xenio Wall-Mounted Control and the Xenio Wi-Fi Package, and the Sauna Heater Controls selector on this page lets you add the Xenio control to the same order.
Are sauna stones included with the heater?
Stones are not in the heater box – this model requires a minimum of 110 lbs of sauna stones (four boxes), and Harvia notes the stones are significant to the unit’s safety and warranty. Select the four required stone boxes under Required Stones when you order on this page; Harvia also recommends one extra box so you can pick the best-fitting stones.
Can I start the sauna remotely?
Yes – Harvia designed the Spirit’s integrated safety features with remote starting in mind. The heater cannot be turned on if items are placed on top of it, and dual safety sensors monitor both the heater and the sauna’s air temperature to prevent overheating. Remote start works through the Xenio Wi-Fi Package the heater is compatible with.
What are the electrical requirements?
The specification table lists 240V, single-phase power for this 6kW heater. The hookup must be done by a licensed electrician following the installation and operation manual linked on this page and your local electrical codes, which determine the correct wiring and breaker details for the installation.
What comes in the box?
You get the 6kW Spirit heater, the safety device that sits on top of the heater, a wall-mounting bracket, and the installation and operation manual. A 2-year warranty for consumer use is included, and Harvia notes that proper stone maintenance is required for the warranty to remain valid.
Where is this heater made?
It is a Finnish-made heater – the feature list highlights its high-quality Finnish manufacture, and Harvia points to over 70 years of heater craftsmanship. If you are still comparing wall-mounted and floor-standing designs, the rest of the electric sauna heater collection covers a wide range of room sizes.
