#3 in SmallFull review
A cheap, best-selling 25-pint unit for a damp room or small basement with a floor drain. Pick a more efficient model if it will run all summer.

#4 in SmallFull review
A tough, compact pump unit for a small crawl space or cool basement, where a plastic portable would not fit or last. For a living space, a cheaper 50-pint unit removes more water.
