The 6 Best Sump pumps to Flood-Proof your Basement

Best Overall Sump Pump

Zoeller M53 Mighty-Mate

Zoeller has made high-quality, reliable products for over 70 years, and this highly regarded submersible model was an easy choice for our best sump pump. The cast-iron body and corrosion-resistant coating provide durability to last a long time, and the 1/3 horsepower (HP) motor pumps out up to 2,580 gallons of water per hour (GPH). A non-clogging impeller allows debris particles up to 1/2-inch in diameter to pass through, so even during severe storms or flooding, it will continue running smoothly and efficiently.

“I bought and returned several pumps from the box stores before I found this,” writes Andrew Griggs in his 5-star review. “It’s the exact pump I’m replacing that is over 20 years old. The setup was really easy and it’s working great. Sleeping easy tonight.”
