SaunaLife X2 Xperience Series 2-Person Indoor Sauna Kit

Inside the cabin

What two people actually get

A flat bench rather than two tiers, which is what makes a room this small work: the full depth of the cabin is usable instead of being cut in half by an upper bench.

Inside the cabin

Interior	51.5 × 54.1 × 78.1 in (130.8 × 137.4 × 198.4 cm)
Interior volume	126 cu ft
Exterior	57.2 × 59.1 × 82.7 in (145.3 × 150.1 × 210.1 cm)
Footprint	23.5 sq ft
Seating	Flat Aspen bench with a backrest and a footrest
Door	27.6 × 78.1 in, 8 mm clear tempered glass

A glass wall sits beside the door, so the cabin borrows light from the room it stands in rather than feeling like a box. At 78.1 inches of interior height an adult stands up in it comfortably, and the bench and backrest are furniture-grade Aspen, which stays cool enough to lean against at temperature.

The decision that blocks the purchase

Choosing the heater for your X2

Two decisions, in this order: how many kilowatts, then which heater. The kilowatts follow the room, and at 126 cubic feet the X2 takes 6 to 7 kW.

These are the four we sell for it, and they are the four behind the Add a heater and accessories button above Add to Cart. Each is a package: heater, control and stones together, so nothing is missing when the pallet arrives.

Browse Harvia sauna heaters or electric sauna heaters if you want to see the full range first.

What your electrician needs to know

The heater is hard-wired onto its own 240-volt circuit, not plugged in, and that is true indoors exactly as it is outdoors. Your electrician sizes the breaker and the cable from the installation instructions for that heater and from your local code. Indoors the run is usually short, which is one of the few things that costs less than it would in the garden.

Scope

What you get, and what you also need

The kit ships as one pallet, 63 × 60.5 × 86.6 inches and 1,048 pounds, by LTL freight. Here is everything in it.

• Six prefabricated wall elementswith three base elements, two corner posts and four corner mouldings
• Two ceiling elements and two claddings
• Glass wall and tempered glass doorin a frame, with metal hinges and a metal-wood handle
• Bench supports and upper and lower bench frameswith bench grids
• Backrest with LED lights, and a lightshade
• Heater guardmatched to the interior
• Floor grid and finishing mouldings
• White LED light systemWi-Fi app control, handheld remote and cradle, 90 W supply, driver and a 30 ft IP67 cable, running at 24 V DC
• Installation manual

The heater guard is in the kit, which is not true of every SaunaLife cabin, so check it against the heater you choose rather than buying a second one.

Before you order

Five things to check before the X2 ships

An indoor sauna asks different questions from a garden one. None of these is hard; all of them are easier to answer now than on delivery day.

• Is the ceiling high enough?The cabin stands 82.7 inches tall and wants a little clearance above it. Measure floor to ceiling before you order, not after.
• Can the room take the weight?948 pounds on 23.5 square feet, before two bathers and a stone-filled heater. On a ground floor or a slab it is a non-question; over a joisted floor, ask someone qualified.
• Has your electrician seen your panel?The heater is hard-wired onto its own 240-volt circuit. Your electrician will tell you in one visit whether your panel has room and what the run will cost.
• Will the parts reach the room?The pallet is 63 × 60.5 × 86.6 inches and gets broken down at the kerb, but the wall elements still have to pass your doorways, turns and stairs. Measure the tightest point on the route.
• How will the room breathe?A sauna puts heat and moisture into the room around it. Plan where that goes, especially in a basement or a windowless room.

Assembly

Building the SaunaLife X2

Four to six hours, two people. SaunaLife engineers the X2 for a DIY build and publishes that figure.

The walls and ceiling arrive as finished panels rather than loose boards, so the build is assembly rather than carpentry: base elements down and levelled, wall elements up and joined at the corner posts, ceiling on, then the glass wall and door, the benches, the backrest and the mouldings. It is the fastest build in the SaunaLife range by a wide margin.

If you would rather not build it yourself, professional setup and assembly is quoted for your address. Ask for a quote here and the form opens on this page.

After the sale

Who stands behind the X2, and for how long

Two companies stand behind your sauna: SaunaLife for the cabin, and whoever made the heater for the heater. Both are written warranties, and between them your whole purchase is covered.

Keep SaunaLife's warranty with your heater's, your delivery receipt and your electrician's invoice, and a claim takes one phone call instead of three.

Construction

What the X2 is made of

Nordic spruce, left bright. The exterior is spruce rather than a thermally modified timber, which is the right call indoors: a cabin that lives in a room does not fight weather, and the pale spruce keeps the room it stands in feeling larger rather than darker.

Aspen where your skin touches it. The bench, the backrest and the footrest are furniture-grade aspen, chosen because it stays cool enough to lean on at temperature and has no knots to sit on.

Panels, not boards. The walls and ceiling leave the factory as finished elements, which is why this is a four-to-six-hour build rather than a two-day one, and why the joints are square without you making them square.

An indoor sauna heated by stones. The Xperience Series sits in the full SaunaLife range.

The real comparison

The X2 against the other indoor saunas for two

A sauna for two that lives inside the house is a small field, and the choice turns on one thing: whether you pick the heater or it arrives fitted. The Element Nook leaves it to you, as the X2 does. The Hanko comes with its heater already in the wall.

Choose the X2 when you want the most room of the three, 126 cubic feet against the Nook's 93, and you would rather choose the heater than inherit one. Choose the Element Nook when the sauna is going into a damp basement and its thermally treated timber earns its keep, and your ceiling can take the extra five inches. Choose the Hanko when you would rather the heater arrived fitted to one 30 amp circuit and the decision stopped there.
