### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Who do I call when my basement is flooded? NO ONE! I have a WATCHDOG!
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2022*

In my younger years, I had two clean out my entire basement twice (after sump pump failures!) That's a lot of time spent and a lot of ruined items! I finally got smart an replaced that typical sump pump with a WATCHDOG! Haven't had to worry for twenty years! I just replace the battery about every five years. The battery cost about $150, so $25/year! I don't believe I can buy Flood Insurance for that price! So five years ago when I was do another battery, I decided to replace the WATCHDOG too! The old one still worked fine but WATCHDOG had a newer model out with more features and I figured why take the risk of the old one failing! I'll keep it in my basement as a backup just in case! It's comforting to know I can go on vacation for a week and not worry about my basement's sump pump anymore! Worth the money just for the reassurance reasons and makes vacations that much more worry free!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Worth every penny!
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2011*

I did a lot of research before buying this pump.  This is by far the most reasonable price and best quality out there.  Installation was very easy and will take very little time as long as you have a current sump pump that you're replacing.  It took about an hour to install only because I installed the backup battery along with it.  I tested the pump after installation and it worked fine.  A week after I installed the pump, it rained constantly for five days straight and the pump was working nonstop during that time.  It pumps the water out so fast that the mulch in my yard where it discharges had a hole in it.  A combination pump is the only way to go for a complete peace of mind.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Covers all the possibilities.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2023*

This is one of a few battery backup sump pump systems.  It has a primary pump and a battery backed pump with multiple floats.  It's assembled neatly for a simple installation but there are a lot of wires.  Of course this all comes at a price.  My plumber had never seen one of these which led to a little confusion but it all worked out.  Price is all that keeps it from 5 stars.  Mine came from Champion Values.  The current listing for this pump is The Basement Watchdog Store.  I think that is a change for the better.  The problem with Champion Values is their return policy.  It's not what you expect from Amazon.  My pump had some small problems most likely due to handling.  I chose to deal directly with the manufacturer to resolve them.  That worked well.
