Bought two recently. Installation was fairly easy. We’ve had one rain and both worked well. Time will tell as to their durability.

Solid and powerful ejector pump, easy to install and performs well. I recommend this pump and should add people at Sump Pump Direct who are professional, knowledgeable, and provide valuable technical support and guidance if needed.

I Couldn't Be Happier!
By Harley R

Review Posted 05/10/2023
I couldn’t be happier! But then, 5 days without sewer service can do that to you. Obviously a very high quality pump, more robust than the 25 year old one replaced, for about the same price I paid back then. VERY prompt shipping.

Do Not Recommend

Review Posted 02/13/2021
I have had 2 LE51A pumps in the last 10 years. The first lasted 9 years, but the second one only lasted 1yr 8 months I purchased in May 2019 and it quit working in January 2021. I need something better. It is for a bathroom that is never really used. I flush toilet atleast 2 to 3 time a week just to flush water out of pit. I can hear it flush water out and I be upstairs.
