Dri-Eaz LGR 7000XLi: 130 PPD AHAM Specs, Filter & Fit

Current LGR 7000XLi specifications

130 PPD AHAM is the common-condition capacity field

The 130 PPD figure is the AHAM value at 80°F and 60% RH. The 235 PPD saturation figure uses hotter and wetter 90°F / 90% RH conditions. Restoration Select keeps them on separate rows so the larger saturation number cannot silently replace AHAM in a comparison or fleet calculation.

280 CFM process air is not another moisture-removal score

The current product page publishes 280 CFM process air. That airflow can matter for ducting and how the dehumidifier circulates air through the drying environment, but it does not add to the 130 PPD AHAM capacity. A model with more process CFM can still remove less water under the common AHAM condition.

8.8A should be considered beside the rest of the restoration fleet

One LGR 7000XLi contributes 8.8A to the planning load. Two contribute 17.6A before adding air movers, scrubbers, lighting or other equipment. Use the Restoration Equipment Power Calculator to combine it with the rest of the job rather than looking at the dehumidifier load in isolation.

4-PRO filter 100250 is the verified current filter

Dri-Eaz currently lists 4-PRO part 100250 for LGR 7000XLi and LGR 5000Li. The filter combines debris capture, electrostatic media, activated carbon and antimicrobial-treated media in the manufacturer's four-stage design.

The same brand name does not mean every Dri-Eaz LGR uses 100250. LGR 6000Li and 6500XLi use 100254, Revolution LGR uses 102312 and LGR 3500i uses 121708.

Command Hub adds connected fleet visibility

The current LGR 7000XLi includes Dri-Eaz Command Hub features with Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and Command Center Pro support. The manufacturer publishes real-time temperature, relative humidity, grain depression and drying-progress trend visibility along with remote monitoring/control.

Those readings can support equipment management, but they do not prove that wet materials have reached an appropriate dry condition.

Where the 7000XLi sits in the current Dri-Eaz lineup

The 7000XLi is not the highest-AHAM Dri-Eaz model in the current normalized catalog; LGR 3500i is larger. It also does not have the highest process airflow among the nearby models. Its fit is the complete package of 130 PPD AHAM, 106 lb chassis, connected controls and current fleet features.

Use a supplied AHAM target if you need a fleet count

The Water Damage Capacity Planner can divide a project-supplied AHAM target by 130 PPD and round up to whole units. It does not create the target from square footage or claim that the resulting count is a complete professional drying plan.

No exact Amazon route is active for this model

Restoration Select's exact Amazon configuration audit did not verify a current US Amazon identity strongly enough for LGR 7000XLi. The page therefore keeps manufacturer evidence and technical comparison separate rather than creating an unverified exact-model shopping route.

Capacity-to-weight tradeoff is useful beside the model name

At 106 lb, the 7000XLi is not a compact dehumidifier. It shares the same normalized weight as LGR 6500XLi while publishing 5 PPD more AHAM capacity. LGR 6000Li is lighter at 99 lb but publishes 100 PPD AHAM, while LGR 3500i jumps to 170 PPD AHAM at a much heavier 157 lb. That progression shows why a model-number ladder should not be treated as a simple “bigger is better” ranking.

Filter commonality with LGR 5000Li can matter to an existing fleet

The current 4-PRO compatibility table pairs part 100250 with both LGR 7000XLi and LGR 5000Li. A contractor already carrying that filter for 5000Li units can therefore add 7000XLi without introducing another 4-PRO part number. That maintenance commonality does not change drying capacity, but it can reduce inventory complexity.

Higher AHAM capacity does not automatically reduce electrical pressure

At 8.8A, each 7000XLi represents a meaningful portion of a restoration job's electrical plan. A 260 PPD target would translate arithmetically to two 7000XLi units, or 17.6A before any air movers or scrubbers are added. A different model mix can change both the number of machines and the electrical total. That is why capacity planning and power planning remain separate tools on this site.

Operating conditions still affect real water removal

AHAM and saturation ratings are controlled-condition comparison points. Actual moisture removal changes with temperature, relative humidity, airflow and the evolving drying environment. The 130 PPD AHAM number is therefore useful for comparing equipment and performing target-based fleet arithmetic, but it is not a promise that the machine will remove exactly 130 pints from every job every day.

Process-air ducting can matter in divided spaces

Dri-Eaz publishes compatibility with 12-inch layflat and rigid process-air ducting for the 7000XLi. Ducting can help direct processed air where the drying plan needs it, but the duct run adds resistance and should follow manufacturer guidance. The 280 CFM process-air value is therefore most useful when read together with the actual distribution setup rather than as an isolated performance score.

This is another reason the 7000XLi should not be judged only by AHAM capacity. A nearby model with more process airflow may be preferable when air distribution through ducting is a stronger constraint than the last few PPD of rated moisture removal.
