Matthew: I did my research...and I tried all sorts of solutions - but nothing else worked.
I had a window well on the low side of the slope in our land. With the warm temperature after fresh snow, all the snow started melting and coming towards the house and filling the window well.
This pump is AMAZING compared to a traditional sump pump. It is self priming (vs some sump pumps that MUST be submerged 6-18") !!! This point cannot be understated, the self priming is key, and another key is that there is no float system. The system is controlled with a simple water contact system, when there is water (it detects at about 1") it starts the pump.
No wiggling, no priming - it just works.
With other pumps I had to check on the pumps many times because despite the pumps being in a well, they would only work when the water was at level or above the pump...at which point the water was also coming into my house through the window seals. With this new pump no problem! Just reliable service life!!!
Dont hesitate, if you need a pump for shallow water activation (like I did for a window well) !!!!
However, if you need a pump for a traditional sump pit and can allow...

Amazon Customer: I’ve tried many pumps over the years. Pumps with different kinds of floats. Pumps that say they turn off but they don’t. This one has no float and turns off as soon as there’s no more water. Restarts when it accumulates again. Exactly what I wanted. I needed my yard drained via a drain box I put in. I use it for a few days in spring and some days in winter.

Gary Arsenault: It was wonderful, as it pumped. It turned off, then a little while later the pump turned on, then turned off, then turned on, every 20 seconds for about 8 hours ore more, until I pulled the plug and replaced it with a different style of pump. The auto float mechanism seems faulty or problematic. My aircondition was not even running, so there was no need for the POS to even turn on and pump!
I replaced it with a Little GIANT 554401 Vcma-15 Series Condensate Pump.
This pump is amazing. It pumped the condensation from my geo-furnace ( which I have a huge system) , pumped it up a 12 foot wall and across another 40 feet to where it emptied into the septic system.
Wished this would have been my first choice as it would have saved me trying to use that first choice in a 5 gallon pail.

Azureblue: 1/7/23 Update, over 2 years and still working perfectly!
We live in an older geothermal designed home. There is a stone lined or filled pit under the foundation that our heating and cooling ducts run through before the air enters the house.
Being in south Louisiana where you can see the water table in a crawfish chimney, it collects ground water in the rainy seasons. It can flood your ductwork. You essentially need a bilge or sump pump to clear it out.
The pumps we had before had the external bladder float switch that would not kick on until there was more than 4 inches of water down there. Let me tell you how that humidity can grow mold, everywhere!
This rascal does not like water at all, it wants it gone. When it was first installed, it would draw the water down and fall into short cycles because the water would seep out of the pit into the sump slowly and it has a hair trigger. I didn't want it working so hard so I put it on a 15 minute incremental timer. It runs for 15 minutes every hour.
I'm more than impressed at how it has performed for over a year now. Humidity levels inside the house are not perfect but they are much better than...

Al: The pump works just fine. I would have hoped the start level would have been around a half an inch instead of the inch and a half to 2 in.

Brian H. Peruta: This pump is a work horse in a small form factor. I ordered one 4 years ago. I liked it and ordered another for another house. And recently I picked up a third when I needed a sump pump for a basement. With all the rain we had here in 6 weeks I was happy I did. There are a couple of things to consider. First I dug a hole in the basement floor and inserted a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled in the sides and with screen around it. I backfilled the hole with small rock that would allow water through. Pretty simple and common setup. Plug it in and water disappears. First, if this is how you use the pump and you use a 1 and 1/2 inch hose, a 90 degree connector is needed to fit right in the bucket. It comes with one for a garden hose but using that would mean no check valve. So off to the hardware store. If you are using a check valve and depending on your setup it's a good idea, keep it as close to the pump as possible or the water that comes back will kick the pump on again (depending on how far away the valve is). Mine was about 3 feet higher and I had this problem. I rearranged things and moved the check valve close to the pump and it was perfect. I would have given this pump 5...

Kiss: This pump barely fit in my drain but in the end, I liked that because it keeps it out of the mud and dirt. This pump is constantly in use and seems to do the job. Its great that it has the water float to turn its self on. It does make a fair bit of noise, but I am happy so far.

A. Thometz: Got it, put it in bucket with garden hose connector, filled bucket with hose, pumped it out faster than hose could fill it. Got bigger plastic bin, same result. Upsized connector to 1.5 inch hose, pumped it out faster. Always pumped it out faster than I could fill it with garden hose.
Put it in window well which I have had to bail out with a bucket in the middle of big thunderstorms before. Only week or two later had a big one, pump activated about 10 times, had no problem at all keeping up, saved my rear.
Month later bigger storm, window well filling faster. Started pumping it out again but then stopped and started to get submerged. I moved plug from outside to inside, pump restarted and cleared about 10 vertical inches of water within 15-20 seconds, saved my rear a second time. Both times the water would have been above bottom of window. People all over town had flooded basements.
Since it tried to stop, tested it in bin again, usually worked bit once just hummed without pumping. Was not plugged with debris. Then worked again but kept recycling as if it was still under water stoppong after 10 cycles or so.
I did not have check valve yet. Also it is on extension cord...

HP: We bought this to put in a basement window well that tends to overflow with water during very heavy rains leading to water ingress around the window frame. This Wayne pump appears well-constructed with minimal assembly of the outflow flow required. After testing the float-trigger valve by immersing the pump in a bucket (it works), we connected the pump outlet to a garden hose and dropped it into our window well. It hasn't rained heavily enough that it needs to kick in, but fingers crossed, it we ever have water collecting in that window well, it will keep us dry.
