| Our take | The bigger bucket model for a very damp room or small basement: 36.71 pints at IEF 2.01, about 15% less power per pint than the 22. No pump. | The crawl space unit we'd buy for a sealed space that stays in the mid-50s or warmer: a published 43.7-pint rating at 65°F, a MERV-13 filter and five years of defect coverage. In a crawl space that runs colder, the cheaper AlorAir HD55S keeps working where this one stops. |

| Watch out for | The -A model differs from the older MAD35C1AWS; Midea's Canada page lists R410a, which conflicts with ENERGY STAR's HFC-32. | The older Compact70 (4033600, R410A) is rated 40 pints at 65°F. Amazon's Compact70 Complete Crawl Space Kit listing (B014FV14UO) reports 4033600; check the part number. Santa Fe markets 6 years (5 full replacement + 1 parts); the manual's written terms are 5 years on defects and 6 on components, Santa Fe choosing part or unit, with labor, shipping and filters excluded. Running without a MERV-8, MERV-11 or MERV-13 filter voids the warranty; a correctly sized generic filter (11.38 x 9.00 x 0.75 in) qualifies. Used units bought from third parties and flood-damaged units aren't covered; hang it from the joists if the space can flood. Santa Fe makes no ENERGY STAR claim for it. |
