Energy Star Most-Efficient 2024
With the Santa Fe Compact70, customers can be assured that they are getting one of the most energy-efficient dehumidifiers on the market today. Not only has this model been Energy Star certified, but it has also been awarded Energy Star's 2024 Most Efficient rating, a significant accomplishment that is only awarded to the top 5 percent of products. Energy Star has confirmed that this compact unit will remove 43.7 pints of moisture per day at 65 degrees F and 60 percent relative humidity, with a dehumidifier efficiency integrated energy factor of 4.1 pints removed per kWh of electricity used.
Top Santa Fe Compact70 Features
Compact Design for Tight Spaces
At just 55 pounds, 12 inches long, and 12 inches high, the Santa Fe Compact70 Dehumidifier is small enough to fit in crawl spaces and between floor joists while providing powerful dehumidification.
This unit allows you to conserve valuable space while getting the necessary humidity control.
Long-Term Reliability
This dehumidifier, engineered by Santa Fe in Madison, Wisconsin, comes with an unmatched 6-year warranty. However, you likely won't need to use it, as the Compact70 model contains durable parts and a heavy-duty steel outer shell that can withstand demanding environments like garages, basements, and crawl spaces.
Upgraded 6-Year Warranty
Manufacturers have announced that Santa Fe dehumidifiers now have an upgraded warranty that guarantees performance and customer satisfaction for up to six years.
This industry-leading ""Peace of Mind"" warranty covers all Santa Fe dehumidifiers manufactured after January 1, 2024. It offers a 5-year warranty against operational failures and a 6-year warranty for faulty components.
In the unlikely event of a unit breakdown, Santa Fe will replace or repair the affected unit. However, customers should consult their Owner's Manual for detailed information about their Warranty's terms and conditions.
Additional Features
- Simple Humidity Control: Easily adjust the knob to set your ideal humidity level from 20 to 80 percent, and this model automatically maintains it. You also control fan operation with a single switch.
- Two-Stage Air Filtration: Together, a foam pre-filter and a pleated MERV 13 filter ensure efficient dehumidifying, protect the dehumidifier's internal components, and capture irritating allergens.
- Auto Defrost: This unit operates successfully in temperatures down to 49 degrees F. Should frost form on the internal components in lower temperatures, an automatic defrost system shuts off operation and quickly melts ice so the unit can resume regular operation.
- Auto Restart: Santa Fe dehumidifiers automatically restart to previous settings after a power outage.
- Quiet Operation: From 6 feet away, its sound level is 58 to 63 dB, roughly equivalent to a quiet conversation.
- Fan Operation: Set the fan to run continuously or only when the compressor runs and the dehumidifier actively removes moisture.
- R454B Refrigerant: The Compact70 now uses R454B refrigerant, which is more energy-efficient and environmentally safe than previous formulations.
Sizing for the Compact70
Studies show that the stack effect pulls almost half of your home air from the basement or crawl space.
Too much damp air in your crawl space or basement may damage your home's infrastructure, flooring, furniture, and electrical systems. It can also carry musty odors and symptom-triggering allergens like mold spores, mildew, bacteria, and dust mites.
Below are Santa Fe's sizing suggestions for basements and crawl spaces based on how tightly sealed your basement and crawl spaces are.
The Compact70 covers:
-
Crawl Spaces
- Very tightly sealed: 2,600 square feet
- Moderately sealed: 2,200 square feet
- Some leaks and imperfections: 1,800 square feet
-
Basements
- Very tightly sealed: 2,200 square feet
- Moderately sealed: 2,000 square feet
- Some leaks and imperfections: 1,800 square feet
Customized Installation and Operation
Like other Santa Fe dehumidifiers, this crawl space model is easily customizable for your basement or crawl space dehumidifying needs.
Right out of the box, the Compact70 can operate as a standalone unit by plugging it into a 115-volt outlet and routing the included gravity hose to a nearby drain. However, this unit can support pumped drainage and ducted applications with a few optional accessories.
- Hang Kit: Add the optional Santa Fe Hang Kit to suspend it between floor joists and out of the way.
- Condensate Pump: An external condensate pump accessory for the Compact70 is available as an accessory for an alternative to gravity drainage.
- Ducting Kit: A Ducting Kit and ducting accessories are also available. If the standalone operation is impossible or impractical, you might prefer to duct your dehumidifier.
- Filter Replacements: You can find replacement MERV 13 filters here.
Complete Crawl Space Package
Purchase the dehumidifier by itself, or choose our Sylvane-Exclusive Crawl Space Starter Kit for everything you need to solve humidity problems in your crawl space.
The kit includes the following products along with your efficient dehumidifier:
- Hang Kit: The Santa Fe small hang kit is used to suspend the dehumidifier from above and in between floor joists.
- Remote Thermometer and Humidity Sensor: Place the Acu-Rite Remote Thermometer / Hygrometer in your crawl space and monitor humidity levels from any convenient location in your home.
- Replacement MERV 13 Filter Set: The Santa Fe Certified Compact Dehumidifier MERV 13 Filter Set includes four MERV 13 filters and one pre-filter.

- ATAnna T.Verified BuyerReviewingSanta Fe Compact70 DehumidifierI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 starsYesterdaySanta Fe Compact70 Dehumidifier
The Santa Fe Compact70 Dehumidifier was installed as a DIY project (using the Santa Fe Hang Kit) for a 1200sq ft finished basement that became extremely humid in the warmer months in the northeast. After 4-5 days of running the dehumidifier consistently the humidity level dropped from 88% to 50%. After day 5 the setting was lowered to midway and the humidity level in the all the rooms has been maintained at 45-50% showing its worth. Prior the installation of the Santa Fe regular standing home dehumidifiers were used but could not keep the humidity level below 60% even with when constantly running keeping electric bills higher.

It pumps out gallons of water. I installed it myself despite its heavy weight. The hanging system is remarkably easy to raise it up by oneself.
- DLDavid L.Verified BuyerReviewingSanta Fe Compact70 DehumidifierI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars6 days agoSo far so good
Unit seems very solid and well built. Has been running non-stop for about 6 weeks now, humidity has dropped from 88 to about 54%…ordering from Sylvane was also very smooth…keeping my fingers crossed I get a lot of years out of this unit…
- JRJerry R.Verified BuyerReviewingSanta Fe Compact70 DehumidifierI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars6 days agoInitial Review
Acquired this unit to serve a combination crawlspace and basement area that was recently treated for a minor mold issue. The unit was easy to install and set up, and after experimenting for a day or so to establish the appropriate humidity setting, has thus far succeeded in maintaining the desired humidity level range desired. The unit is very quiet, and the AI generated question and answer section on the website provides very detailed information regarding the many facets of using, monitoring and servicing the unit. Suggested routine maintenance does not appear to be very complicated and is clearly explained, but given this is the first time I have needed to make use of a dehumidifier, I remain hopeful the unit will indeed perform as described, properly notify me if it is not functioning properly and needs attention from a properly trained repair professional, and that clear guidance will be provided in obtaining the required professional support needed if any malfunction occurs.
