Capacity is compared at AHAM conditions (80°F, 60% RH). "Marketed as" shows the box number and which test produced it — see our AHAM vs saturation guide.
Capacity and coverage are manufacturer ratings. Prices are typical US street prices as of October 2026 and change often.
AprilAire and Santa Fe market AHAM numbers, so their bars match. AlorAir markets saturation figures — always compare AHAM to AHAM.

Whole homes up to 5,500 sq ft — the one-unit answer for humid-climate houses with a ducted HVAC tie-in.
Crawl spaces up to 2,600 sq ft with no floor drain nearby — the built-in pump pushes condensate up and out.
Crawl spaces and basements up to 2,200 sq ft where a compact, pro-grade unit has to fit through tight access doors.
Large homes up to 7,200 sq ft and light commercial spaces that need maximum moisture removal from a single unit.
Basements and crawl spaces up to 2,600 sq ft where you want 90 honest pints without paying the AprilAire premium.
Basements up to 4,400 sq ft that need a step up from the E070 without jumping to whole-house 100-pint pricing.
AHAM pints/day is the honest number: measured at 80°F and 60% relative humidity, the industry standard. Marketed as shows the box number and which test produced it — "saturation" figures are measured near 90°F/90% RH and run roughly double the AHAM figure. Our AHAM vs saturation guide decodes the marketing. Coverage is the manufacturer's rated square footage; buy 20–30% of headroom over your real space. Our capacity sizer does that math for you.
