Pros
- Keeps more than 50 gpm at 20 ft, so it copes with a tall basement lift
- Cast iron motor housing and volute run cool and last
- Piggyback float can be swapped or bypassed without pulling the pump
- Sold by Amazon with a three year maker warranty
Cons
- Tethered float needs a basin wide enough for it to swing freely
- Draws 12 A, so it wants its own 15 A circuit
