I purchased a Therma-Stor Santa Fe Advance dehumidifier for over $1000. It was described by the dealer as a 10++ year, high end unit. It worked for a little over 2 years. I stored it when I moved. I turned it on 3-1/2 years later and it no longer worked. It doesn't dehumidify. I spoke to Thermal-Store tech service; it is out of warranty. No one locally wants to work on it. I have an expensive boat anchor. I will have to pay the landfill to take it. A 70 qt box store unit purchased for $200 delivers equivalent performance and has outlasted this unit --it is still running. Based on my experience, go get a box store unit. It will likely work just as well and long ...and when it breaks, you will only be out $200, not 6 times that.
