| Our score | SCORE7.0 / 10 | SCORE7.0 / 10 |
| Our take | 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. | The same certified 49.67 pints as the non-pump Cube, with a pump that lifts water 14 feet to a sink or window. Amazon had only used units when we checked, so buy it new elsewhere or pair the non-pump Cube with a separate condensate pump. |

| Watch out for | 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. | Midea's older Canadian Cube (MAD50PS1QGRC, R410A) claims a 16.4 ft pump; the current US model is rated 14 ft. Go by the 14. The Amazon pump listing (B091BYVD2W) had only used offers when checked; we don't link it. Owners report the pump never empties the tank past about half and the app shows no tank status, so a pump fault can go unnoticed. Check the built-in humidity reading against a separate hygrometer in week one; a stuck-near-30% or ~20-points-low reading on a new unit is a known return-window fault. |
