This pump earns the top spot because it isn't your normal utility pump. You get double the water movement at 150 gallons per minute AND it can move solids up to 2". This pump includes a 25ft power cord giving you a little more flexibility. It also features a high quality stainless steel casing which prevents rust and corrosion and a built-in thermal reset to prevent the pump from running dry. With the float switch this is truly an automatic submersible trash pump which is why it earns our top rating.
