It passes solids up to 1/5 in, has a 10 ft cord and comes with a 1 in hose adapter and a garden hose adapter.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Hot tubs and water heaters
- Window wells
- Small floods
Look elsewhere if
- Permanent sump pits (a sump pump with a switch suits better)
- Sewage or grey water with solids
- Unattended running on manual models
Pros and cons
Pros
- Drains to 1/12 in
- 23 ft lift
- Compact
Cons

Limitations to weigh
