Customer Reviews for VEVOR Sump Pump, 1/2 HP 3960 GPH, Submersible Cast Iron Water Pump, 1-1/2" NPT Discharge With 33 ft Power Cord, Automatic Float Switch with Piggy-back Plug, for Indoor Basement Water Basin

Perfect for my basement. This thing is heavy and well made. Performs as it should.

During Covid, we used the isolation to finish our basement. It’s too nice to not be prepared should ANYTHING go awry with our current sump pump. This is our back up to always have ready should it be needed. (Dad is a plumber) It’s our little insurance policy. #Adulting.

I like the compact design and overall size of this pump. It works well and pumps plenty of water for its size. If it has the longevity one would expect it’s a winner.I use this as a portable pump for various tasks.

This pump suction is powerful it takes less time for me to remove the water than anything it works quick not as noisy as the rest of pumps that I've used easy to clean up easy to operate

Back in 2017, a pipe failed in the garage, seeping through the wall and into the basement. By the time I got home from work and discovered it, the damage was incredible. I don't know how long that had been going on for, but by the water level, multiple hours. After that, I now have water sensors in several areas that will send a push notification to my phone if triggered, but even if I left work the SECOND I received it, it's an easy 45 minute to hour commute before I'm pulling in the driveway to shut off the water.This pump will ensure that a 2017 won't happen again, at least not nearly to that degree of damage.Pump feels really heavy duty and I can't imagine that it will tip over or move. Float will activate it at a relatively low water level (much, much lower than the mid-shin level of my past nightmare) and to me, this is super inexpensive insurance from a repeat situation happening.

This review is for: VEVOR 1/2 HP Sump Pump,3960 GPH Cast Iron Submersible Sewage Pump (1/2 HP)I was struck by the weight of this thing. It is cast iron and it feels like it when you try to carry it!We set this up as a back-up sump pump in case the current sump breaks or the float gets stuck.The instructions are good. It it super easy to take out of the box, assemble and install.We attached this to a battery back-up system so if we lose power, the battery backup will power it.I also have a couple other things that I would recommend to anyone counting on a sump pump... a sump pump alert system which does two things.... senses if water overflows the sump pit and it detects energy being used so if a sump pump starts to run continuously (maybe a stuck float) or if you lose power, it will notify you on your phone. The other thing I did was set up a camera on my sump pit so I can look at it whenever I want to (it's in the crawl space, so not easily accessible).Glad to have the piece of mind this back-up sump pump is providing.It seems like terrific quality. The price seems very reasonable.Hope this was helpful.

It works good, wish I had gotten the more hp one so it would pump faster. No drama, easy setup

Very satisfied with this it works great

I bought this unit to pump water from a sump pit when needed. The instructions say it is for effluent use only and NOT to pump clear water from sump pits. The original add did say you could install to pump water out of a basement. I’m just a little confused about its actual usage. I will be using this as a standby pump as I’ve had water in my basement in the past.
