Santa Fe 4025081 Dehumidifier Review

The Santa Fe 4025081 provides superior real world performance, energy efficiency, and the health benefits associated with the freedom from mold, mildew, and dust mites while consistently maintaining 50% relative humidity, and protecting the structural integrity of your home.

Santa Fe 4025081 Specifications:

  • Height: 18.65”
  • Width: 33”
  • Depth: 20.75”
  • Weight: 138 lbs.
  • Daily Capacity: 135 pints
  • Warranty: 1 + 4 year factory warranty

Using only 11.4 amps of electricity, the Santa Fe 4025081 offers as much as $200 per year in energy savings compared to the conventional dehumidifier.  More pints of water per kilowatt of electricity means lower cost of operation.

This high capacity dehumidifier removes up to 135 pints of water per day at standard conditions – enough water removal capacity for areas up to 3200 square feet.  You would have to purchase multiple units to equal the water removal capacity of a single Santa Fe 4025081.  It drains via graviSanta Fe 4025081ty drain.

Santa Fe 4025081 is powerful enough to control humidity even in the cooler environments of basements and crawlspaces.  Dehumidifiers are rated at 80°F and 60% relative humidity.  At the cooler, real-life temperatures of a basement or crawlspace, the capacity of conventional dehumidifiers drops dramatically.  At temperatures below 65°F, frost forms on the coils of a conventional unit and causes the unit to ice up.  Frost cuts down on air circulation so the unit does not remove as much moisture from the air.  Some units have automatic defrost but remove minimal quantities of water in cooler conditions.  However, even at regular basement conditions, the Santa Fe 4025081 removes more pints of water per day than most dehumidifiers.

The Santa Fe Series utilizes an impeller rather than a propeller fan allowing the use of high-efficiency air filtration for improved indoor air quality.  Standard MERV-11 filtration is 65% efficient and captures particles from 1.0 to 3.0 microns in size, resulting in effective filtration of most mold spores.
