Where it stands
This model is not on the EPA’s list of certified dehumidifiers (checked Oct 16, 2026). Figures on this page come from the company that filed it.
- Rated 104.77 pints a day in its filing with the Department of Energy.Case of 9.5 cubic feet. DOE basic model 155-W.
- Its efficiency, 2.62 liters per kWh, is 0.21 above the federal minimum for whole-house units with a case over 8 cubic feet.That minimum is 2.41 L/kWh, for units made since June 13, 2019.
- That beats 18 of the 21 certified whole-house models.Their median is 2.35 L/kWh, from 2.22 to 3.26.
- At 104.77 pints a day, 4 of the 21 certified whole-house models remove more water.Those range from 52 to 172 pints a day.
- Removing 100 pints costs $3.31 in the United States, against $3.69 at the median of those certified models.Same 2019 DOE test on both sides, so the figures compare directly.
- In the DOE database, this model number appears under the Santa Fe name only.
- The EPA list has 4 certified Santa Fe models, from the Ultra V100 to the V205, filed by Research Products, which also files AprilAire.
Good to know
What “not on the EPA list” means
The model is missing from the EPA’s dataset on the date we checked. That says nothing about its safety or build quality. Its capacity and efficiency come from the filing with the Department of Energy. That filing uses the same 2019 test as the models on the list, so the cost to remove 100 pints compares directly. No yearly energy figure is published for it.

In 24 hours at full output, the 155-W pulls about 13.1 gallons of water from the air and uses about 18.9 kWh. That day costs $3.46 in the United States.
A month of full days comes to about 568 kWh, $104 at the same price. That assumes it never stops, though it shuts off once the house reaches its setting.
