This unit replaces part # 4021400 (new model has new R410A refrigerant and new warranty).
The Santa Fe Classic is a high capacity, energy efficient dehumidifier. The Santa Fe Classic is Energy Star rated and removes more water per unit of electricity than any other qualified dehumidifier. It can operate as a 'stand alone' dehumidifier; simply plug it in, route the condensate hose to a drain, and set the dehumidistat. It is ideal for basement and crawlspace applications since it operates effectively in temperatures as low as 53°F. Normally, a Santa Fe unit will maintain relative humidity levels below 50% in areas up to 3,000 square feet. An optional duct kit allows the Santa Fe Classic to be located in a mechanical room and deliver the dried air to another area via air ducts. Other available options include a noise reduction kit, a remote dehumidistat and a condensate pump kit.
The Santa Fe is a high efficiency residential dehumidifier that utilizes refrigeration to cool the incoming air stream below its dew point as it passes through the dehumidification (evaporator) coil. This cooling results in the removal of moisture (latent heat) and reduction of the temperature (sensible heat). The cooled and dried air is used to pre-cool the incoming air stream resulting in up to a 200 percent increase in overall efficiency. After the pre-cooling stage the processed air is reheated by passing through the condenser coil. The latent heat removed by the evaporator coil is returned to the air stream at this stage as sensible heat, resulting in an overall increase in temperature from the incoming air.
The Santa Fe is controlled by a manual dial-type dehumidistat with positive "ON" and "OFF" settings and a variable setting range. Note: Relative humidity level that can be achieved depends on temperature in space.
Features:
The Santa Fe has a built-in defrost system that is designed for operation down to 56°F.
The unit contains a blower switch that permits continuous blower operation independent of dehumidification.
The Santa Fe is portable and provided with four casters.
The unit contains a eight foot vinyl, gravity drain hose.
The wiring of the unit is through a factory installed 10 foot power cord; 115 volt with ground.

I waited to write this review until I had owned the unit for a fair time to evaluate it. I purchased the Santa Fe Classic to control the humidity in my basement. When new it functioned very well, keeping the RH below 47% in a 1100 sq ft basement. It would cycle on/off as needed.
After exactly two years this performance deteriorated appreciably. The unit would run constantly and could not reduce RH below 54%. The compressor was "red hot", too hot to touch.
I shipped the unit back to Thermador for warranty repair, which took about three weeks. They said they replaced the "coil" with a coated one. It is now working as it should; we'll see for how long this time. At the price level of this unit I expected a much longer lifetime...wouldn't you?

The Sante Fe classic does a good job keeping my basement dry but would be even better if it had a humidity monitor attached. The unit is very loud. Previous reviewers said it was quiet. I can't imagine why they would say that.

Used the product in a smelly, musty basement after "big box store" dehumidifiers failed after two years (this happened three times until I invested in Santa Fe). After about a few days, the entire basement felt 'drier' and after a week, the smell was almost entirely gone. This unit did not come without a price (more than the cost of my refrigerator), so my expectation is that it operates efficiently for at least 15 years.

Moved into house in RI by the ocean and the biggest problem was basement smell. Tried cleaning, presure washing, all kinds of ventalation, etc., and nothing helped. Did not want a throwaway small unit. Read all reviews on this and purchased. Within days of install, basement had dramatically improved. Have only had unit for 3 weeks now so have not yet seen energy bill, but I assume it is as good as can be for a unit of this size. Unit is well constructed quality product, and I am a fussy customer normally buying "only the best". Delivery was on-time and unit arrived in perfect condition. I am using the Carbon filter as well as the accessory pump to lift water to a drywell pipe. Accessory pump also works great and seems high quality product.
Very pleased.

It's been 3 years since we purchased this model. The humidifier is wonderful! Yes, it runs continuously during humid weather, even though we have it set at the lowest setting. Our electric bills are definitely higher, wish I could solve that problem. This unit is very dependable.

We purchased the unit to replace a Kenmore in our basement. We have bought smaller dehumidifiers in the past but they have not lasted more than 1 year. We've had this unit running for about 2 1/2 weeks and have noticed a HUGE difference. We did not hook into our air line but this unit has reduced the humidity in the whole house. Great unit!

The user manual was surprisingly excellent, well written and clear. Set up is very simple and the controls are simple and ideal for the purpose. Directions for use are clear. Thermastor has put a lot of engineering in this dehumidifier and the quality of build is better than I had anticipated.
I really had a hard time spending the money for a dehumidifier of this size as its five times more than the small units, but the quality of build and design are clearly far superior. When it comes to functionality the small units pale in comparison, this unit actually gets the job done far more efficiently. As hard as it was to spend the money on something that isn't very sexy, I'm glad I did purchase the Sante Fe Classic. It exceeds my expectations.
