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

Is submersible which makes it easy to position and use. Pumps water quickly and has a float that shuts off and turns on the pump when needed. Great for areas that are prone to flooding, crawl spaces, etc. Is well-built and runs quietly. I recommend this pump for anyone with water issues that call for a larger, powerful sump pump.

Works like it's supposed to. My basement floods constantly when get lots rain. It kicks on like soppst to and shuts off. Not really super loud either which is nice. Easy set up..

The 1.5HP sump pump by Vevor, is one serious pump that’s ready to work. Here are some of the things I’ve learned while owning it and things to consider before buying.I. Quality – The quality feels like it’s made out of some heavy duty, good materials. Combine that with the cast iron and stainless steel and this one should provide a good service life.II. Usability – It’s as easy to install as any I’ve tried. I went with the 1.5HP and this one is strong. It pumps like a champ and has done a great job at removing any water I’ve thrown its way. The float switch is super handy and has worked without failure.Overall, this is a workhorse of a pump that has performed tremendously for me so far and left me very happy that it’s in my corner for when the time comes. I’ll be sure to update this review, if I ever start to have problems with it.You can trust that this review is simply my honest opinion that is attempting to provide you with helpful insight that I wish I had before I picked this product. Hopefully it was helpful in your decision.

This pump is very well built and I was surprised as to how well it was made. Right out of the box is made to hookup to my discharge pipe. The grate at the bottom of the pump allows for more input and then output through the discharge pipe than most pumps. It's ability to discharge sump water fast makes it above others in the class in my estimation. Very quiet operating pump! If you need a replacement I would highly recommend this pump.

So like all sump pumps...mine failed on Friday morning during a crazy rain storm. The water was rising so quick in the pit that my backup pump (Basement Watchdog) was only keeping the water level, not lowering it. I quickly pulled out the pump that failed (3/4 hp BWatchdog of unknown age) and swapped in this one. The only difference was this pump requires a male threaded end, while the BW pump was female (using 1.5"). I had to run out quickly and get the threaded end but once I had that it was a quick install and I have to say, this pump definitely empties the sump pit quicker than the BW pump did. Then again, I guess it should if it's double the hp!We will see how long it holds up. It is supposed to be cast iron and stainless steel so it should hold up pretty well. I will report back if I have any problems in the near future but right now I can't complain about this pump at all.

Was going to use this as our backup pump, but after seeing the quality of it I think may change it over to our primary pump. Love the full cast iron base the make sure the pump stays where you put it. It pumps a ton of water in a very short time to reduce your run time and you engery load.

As described, good quality

I ordered this sump pump as a spare. My old sump pump has been keeping our basement dry for over a quarter century and I would not be surprised if my water level alarm went off at any time. It is always better to have the replacement on hand and ready for installation when that happens. This VEVOR 1.5 HP Submersible Cast Iron and Steel Sump Pump comes with the fitting to hook up to my discharge pipe as a bonus. As a test I placed it in our rain barrel, which is larger than our basement sump, and it almost emptied it in less than 45 seconds. It is heavy, so it might be better to have help installing it if your sump is in an awkward location like ours is.

There is little one can do when there is a terrible storm and your sump pump dies at 2AM in the morning. That's exactly what happened to me several years ago and my basement flooded. That's why I got this pump as a spare. this pump boast of moving 6000 GPH, that's a lot of water. Take into mind that it can pump that much if it's 0-4 feet at total feet of lift. But even at maximum lift of 33 feet, it is still capable of of pumping 3,400 GPH. (Gallons Per Hour) In my book that is one powerful pump. This pump is strictly designed for sump pump applications, so don't try to use it as a waterfall pump or a pool pump.I like the float bracket design as that seem to work best in my basement. As the water raises when it hits the top, it automatically switches on and just begins sucking that water out until the float settles to normal. I always make sure I clean out the pump every couple of month as not to get it clogged with silt or other debris. Looking at the suction area at the bottom of the pump is a much larger grate than I've seen in others. Another good idea to allow more water and miniscule debris to flush through.I feel more secure knowing I have a backup if and when the current pump gives out. And they will eventually. This is a excellent buy and I recommend that if you have a sump pump that IS working, get yourself this Vevor 1.5 HP Submersible pump for a backup. And if you need a sump pump, get this one now. You'll thank yourself when it happens. And like I said "it will".
