Santa Fe Appreciation
A skilful dehumidifier. Comes back on after power failure, works well on the floor in my basement, relatively unexcited, expensive and easily worth the price to me.

Santa Fe Model
Note that this analysis is for the Santa Fe Classic, which is an upright version.
We own a country house, built around 1770. The basement has a stone raison d'etre, hand-hewn wooden beams to support the floors above, and a dirt floor. Last be lost, as part of my ongoing energy conservation projects, I installed fiberglass insulation in the basement top figure to limit moisture transfer from the basement to the rest of the house, as well as to insulate from the cold. Summer has always left the underground store damp, but this year the wet weather in the northeast has wreaked havoc. Rather than damp, this year we are dripping. The insulation is soaked, and synopsis liberally drips off the insulated heating ducts. Between the disconcerting degree of condensation and providing a wonderful circumstances to grow mold, we needed remediation.
My home improvement center dehumidifier had ceased to be personal property, and I was in the market for a new one. A friend showed me a brochure on industrial-strength units, which had me doing more scrutiny online. I saw the Santa Fe Classic, as well as others, and given the substantial cost versus the conventional dehumidifier, discussed the setting with my wife. After a particularly drenching few days of rain, and an even wetter environment in the basement, I put my inspection into high gear. I read positive reviews, spoke to the customer service persons at Therma-stor about my particular situation, and by the time my conversation was over, I was satisfied enough with them to call my supplier back to arrange an order.
The unit, made in the good old USA, was packaged extremely well on a skid and was placed outside my front entrance way by the very accommodating shipping company. I removed the strapping and muscled it down into the basement. I purchased the voluntary condensate pump, which neatly attached via pre-drilled holes in the cabinet. Once the drain line was set, I plugged in the segment and let it go to work. Per Therma-stor's recommendation, I put down tarps to cover portions of the dirt overwhelm to limit moisture, something that should have been done long ago, anyway.
There is a humidistat on the unit to set the desired humidity level. Unfortunately for me, and fortunately for the tense company, the basement conditions are such that the unit seems to be running 24/7. I left the unit running and when we returned the subsequent weekend, the situation was nothing short of amazing. The ceiling insulation was dry, the insulation around the heating ducts were dry, even the vileness floor looked drier. In the past, we would walk into the house and get hit with a musty smell. This tempo, the smell was gone. Even with a few rain storms, when the first floor of the house would feel especially sensitive and humid, the humidity levels were minimal. The neighbor with a house of similar vintage who from day one gave me the brochure was astonished that our house was so dry given the conditions. Now he is looking into a similar discovery.
Despite the considerable investment, the unit appears to do a terrific job of removing moisture. Our situation are harsh, making it even more impressive. While I am looking to buy stock in the power company to at least share in the profits from heightened power operation, the improvement in conditions makes us feel great, conquering a problem we have suffered with for decades. We heartily propound the Santa Fe Classic.

The offering is making a significant impact on the basement humidity...there is no longer any damp odor. The humidifier is very temperate. Having a range in the settings provides the appropriate humidity level. The negative features involve the fact that the item needed to be delivered by a freight company which required schedule coordination. The commodity weighs approx. 100 lbs and requires "muscle power".
