Comments about Santa Fe Classic and Hi-E Dry - Optional Sound Muffler Kit (4022561):

Our house has a downstairs about on third of which is below grade. The area includes 3 bedrooms, a large family room and an office. For years we have had a significant humidity problem during the Summer. We tried using 4 or 5 small dehumidifiers with supposedly large capacities. The humidifiers worked day and night without much success and lots of noise. The Santa Fe Classic has solved our problem. We have achieved a normal humidity level, a result that we never thought possible, all without a costly professional installation. The Classic is a remarkably effective product. The noise level is no more than, and probably less than, one of our small dehumidifiers.

We also purchased the optional muffler kit. Don't bother. The muffler reduces the air noise from the dehumidifier, which makes the compressor noise seem louder. The net result is a zero reduction in noise. In addition, the muffler seemed to interfere with the functioning of the humidity level switch on the Santa Fe Classic.
