“I had this model for about 5 years pumping several hundred thousand cycles requiring an 8 foot lift. It finally gave out, but due to an external switch failure that caused it to run dry for an extended period. I have purchased another little giant just like this one, but with an included water level switch. I will be very pleased if it performs as well as the original. This pump is greatly superior to some newer plastic housing pumps that seem to value the appearance of the pump over the function. Other companies claiming new technology and smart pumps are mostly gimmicks. The design of this type of pump itself has been mature for decades. One last thing. You may not be able to find these at your local big box retailer. I have had increasingly poor luck finding quality devices available in stores.”
