The 5 stars are for the 30+ yr. old Little Giant pump I just replaced. Never a problem until it started squeeling when running. It never got emptied or cleaned in all it's years. I will be very happy if this new Little Giant performs as well. It is plug & play if you have an outlet nearby.

The Little Giant VCMA-20ULST is a reliable and efficient condensate pump. It handles removing condensate from my AC and furnace with ease. The motor runs smoothly and is thermally protected, ensuring durability. I appreciate the safety switch and the 20-ft tubing included, which made installation hassle-free. The pump's performance is outstanding, moving up to 80 GPH with a max lifting height of 20 feet. It’s compact, quiet, and highly effective—definitely worth the investment for keeping my system running smoothly!

Not much to say other than that it’s a great condensation pump and if you’re looking for one I recommend you get this one. Comes with lots of tub tubing and is very easy to install

Great quality, easy to install and hook up. All you have to do is literally plug it in and rum ur discharge tube to either drain or outside. I use mine on indoor ac unit in basement. I do not have a drain in floor and pump it 20 feet outside. This machine has no problem doing so and has never failed me yet. Top pops off for essy cleaning, has great power, is generally quiet and holds a good amount of liquid before pumping which is great cause its not constantly turning on and off. Everything works off internal float. Install it and let it do its job. Good product

Easy to install and I've been using it for many months now. Moves the water well, up and over to my basement sink. Once a month I pour in white vinegar to prevent mold growth in the tubes.

I recently installed a "plumbed-in" icemaker. This Icemaker requires a condensate pump to help remove the melted ice water. I selected a Little Giant pump--and it runs quickly (approx. 5 seconds--to lift all the water collected), makes very little noise and easily lifts the water to a utility sink drain (about 4ft). I am VERY impressed with the quality and the price was reasonable for the expected long life these units normally provide.If you are looking for a condensate pump--this is the best choice you can make. I highly recommend this pump. Small, works well--no maintenance ever needed. Plug it in and forget it.

My furnace condensate pump failed and I needed a replacement asap. I quickly looked at the inventory online of local shops, and decided to save the headache and have one delivered. Within 24hrs I had it installed. Only took 15 minutes to install. Simple 2 wires to connect, mount it, cut the tubing, plug it in and fill the reservoir to test. (It took four 8 ounce glasses to fill. )I discovered that I needed a 3/8 coupling that I had to purchase separately for under $5. The instructions mention not using metal hose clamps, they recommend zip ties, ( also not included. )Love that I didn't have to run across town to grab a pump. My last pump lasted 30 years. I don't expect anything made today to compare, but I'm satisfied with the product.The pump is audible when it's running, but I'd rather hear it and know it's working.

Product was delivered promptly and as advertised. Relatively easy to install for anyone who understands basic wiring, or can read and follow instructions. Quiet operation and so far, working well after one week in 40° weather and AC running continuously.

Installed as a replacement. Well made, comes with all the parts, clear instructions and well packaged. Some electrical skills are required as well as knowledge of furnace, HRV and water heater operations. Condensate is a basement killer. This little pump gives peace of mind that water goes where it is supposed to.

This pump arrangement offers a turnkey solution to a problem I have been avoiding for years. Overall, it is a well thought out system which allows for easy installation, and the pump operates quietly and efficiently. For those who are contemplating the addition of a condensate pump system, I can offer these observations; I was shocked at how much moisture a relatively new furnace puts out. From looking at the drip line, I thought for years it was only a cupful a day. I was wrong. When you combine the amount given off by the furnace with the huge quantity produced in hot weather with high humidity by the air conditioner, you have a big moisture issue which can lead to mold and mildew, as well as attract insects and tree roots.Features: This pump is a self contained system which is simple to mount and operate. The internal float allows for automatic operation, and there is also an additional overflow switch which can be hooked to an alarm for overflow conditions. The top half rests on the mounted reservoir without the need for screws or latches. To mount, you simply position the bottom reservoir and drill 2 holes. The box must be relatively level for good float operation.As far as dislikes, one minor complaint would be capacity; had I been more aware of the amount of water the furnace put off, I might have searched for something a little larger, but the nice thing is that the compact size makes for convenient mounting. My biggest complaint is the quality of the reservoir, which is made from a type of plastic that I feel may be a bit brittle for this application. The mounting ears seem like the weak point, as they are built in to the brown reservoir. All of this might be academic except for the fact that the unit will require cleaning from time to time. This means popping the top portion away from the bottom, and likely flexing those little mounting ears each time.Overall, this is a neat, self-contained system that solves a problem at low cost and effort.
