SaniDry (often written Sanidry or Sani Dry) is the dehumidifier brand of Basement Systems, a national network of basement waterproofing contractors. The SaniDry Sedona is its main basement unit and is often part of a waterproofing job alongside a sump pump and drainage. It is not sold on Amazon or in stores: you get it through a local dealer, installed.
The specs are solid but the published figures vary between Basement Systems and its dealers, so we show where each one comes from.
| Spec | SaniDry Sedona | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | Over 100 pints/day (one reseller lists 95) | Basement Systems; reseller |

| Power | 644 W at 80F, 60% RH; 115 V, 5.6 A | Spec sheet |
| Filter | MERV 8 | Dealer |
| Weight | 63 lb | Dealer |

Sanidry Sedona specs
The Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier is a compact, high-capacity unit: Basement Systems says over 100 pints a day and over 300 CFM, and describes about 2.9 liters of water removed per kWh. A spec sheet for model SS100 lists 285 CFM at zero static pressure and 644 W at 80F and 60% RH. Dealers describe a MERV 8 filter and a weight of 63 lb. It can be ducted to reach several rooms of a basement, and it is designed to drain to a sump or floor drain.
The 2.9 L/kWh efficiency figure is not stated at a test condition, so it cannot be compared directly with ENERGY STAR's integrated energy factor, which is measured at 73F for whole-home units. It does suggest a unit in the same efficiency league as the best whole-home models.
Sanidry cost
Basement Systems does not publish a price; it offers a free estimate through local dealers, and the dehumidifier is usually quoted with installation and often with other waterproofing work. One dealer's online storefront listed the Sedona at $2,100 when we checked in November 2026. Third-party cost estimates online vary too widely to be useful. Our whole house dehumidifier cost guide covers what installation adds.

Verdict
The SaniDry Sedona is a capable, efficient basement dehumidifier. Whether it is worth it depends on the quote. If you are already hiring a Basement Systems dealer for waterproofing, adding the Sedona keeps one company responsible for the whole job. If you only need the dehumidifier, a Santa Fe Classic or Aprilaire E100 offers similar capacity that you can buy online and set up yourself in an unfinished basement, usually for less.
