Compact & Space-Saving Design
Weighing just 55 pounds and measuring 12 inches long and 12 inches high, the Compact70 is built to fit into tight spaces like crawl spaces and between floor joists, all while delivering powerful dehumidification. That means effective moisture control without taking up valuable space.
Built to Last
Manufactured in Madison, Wisconsin, the Santa Fe Compact70 is designed for durability. With a heavy-duty steel outer shell and high-quality components, it’s built to withstand harsh environments like basements, garages, and crawl spaces.
And with an industry-leading 6-year warranty, you can trust that your investment is protected for years to come.
- Extended 6-Year Warranty for Peace of Mind. Santa Fe now offers an upgraded warranty on all dehumidifiers made after January 1, 2024:
- 5-year coverage against operational failures 6-year coverage on faulty components
In the rare event of an issue, Santa Fe will repair or replace the unit. For full warranty details, check the Owner’s Manual.
Easy Humidity Control – Adjust the knob to set humidity levels between 20-80%, and the unit maintains it automatically.
Two-Stage Air Filtration – A foam pre-filter and MERV 13 pleated filter work together to trap allergens and protect internal components.
Auto Defrost – Operates in temperatures as low as 49°F; if frost forms, it quickly melts before resuming normal function.
Auto Restart – Automatically resumes operation with previous settings after a power outage.
Quiet Performance – Runs at 58-63 dB, about as quiet as a casual conversation.
Adjustable Fan Operation – Choose to run the fan continuously or only when the compressor is active.
Eco-Friendly Refrigerant – Uses R454B refrigerant, which is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than older formulations.
