The rating comes from 4 measured or published factors, each scored 0-100 against fixed reference points for its size. How we rank explains each one.

A strong value for an ordinary basement: more flow at 10 ft than most 1/3 HP pumps for a modest price.

$136.90

For a small pit with a real lift, where a compact cast iron pump with strong flow is worth a little more.

$203.84

A light, low cost pump for a shallow basement with modest water. The 1 year warranty makes it a budget pick rather than a long term one.
