Review Update - it’s now been almost 2 years and this guy is still silent and still working perfectly. A true 5 stars.Original Review:I've previously had condensate pumps from Little Giant, the de facto option at most big box home improvement retailers and the choice of many HVAC pros. The units are reliable, but they're also objectively ugly and can be heard clearly when pumping. When we decided to place a continuous service dehumidifier in our master bath (NYC apartment without vent fan means during humid summers, tons of bathroom mold growth and general nastiness unless you do something about the moisture) I wanted something that wouldn't look so industrial - the Little Giant units were fine in a basement or crawlspace, but this was going to be visible every time we use our bathroom and my wife was not on board. Enter the Fujiwara unit - I'll admit I bought mostly on aesthetics, but what has really impressed me is that these units are truly silent. Not "hard to hear" or "silent from a distance", I mean literally silent - I used clear tubing and still had to hold a flashlight to the line to confirm it was actually pumping when I did a test run and poured water from a bottle into the unit before connecting to the dehumidifier. It's now been about 3 months and the unit hasn't missed a beat - it is still silent, still incredibly effective and showing no signs of slowing down. It's small enough that I was able to attach it to the dehumidifier itself with adhesive velcro pads and tuck out of sight. I will update if there are any reliability issues down the line, but so far this is the best condensate pump option on the market by a long shot!

We live in Arizona, and I'm prepping my Mom's casita for the hot summer. The previous owner installed two mini-split units in her place- I believe they are a knock-off of Mr. Cool. They worked great for awhile, but both of the (sauermann) condensate pumps in them failed- one unit shut down completely, and one just dripped down into the drywall (yikes). So, as a temporary solution- I was running the condensation lines out of the units via pex into a couple of buckets on the floor (super classy, I know!). When I saw these- they were exactly what I needed- I opted for the 40L so that the pump wouldn't have to work so hard. They both came with power chords that had plugs (unlike some of the reviews say, mine came with plugs, as of May 2020), and a good amount of the hose that you need. They went up without a hitch, and are doing exactly what they say they will do. I installed them about 6 inches lower than the mini-split units, and used a combination of PEX, a brass elbow from Home Depot, the supplied tubing, and some nylon tape to run the condensate line into the units- the inlet well is deep enough to ensure that the line isn't going anywhere- which is good design. These pumps are a life-saver for me, and I now have piece of mind that everything will be OK at my Mom's place. (My Mom recently came down with pneumonia and back pain, she was taken to the ER, when I came back to her place she had forgotten to dump the water out of the bucket- so it was coming out of the other side of the unit, onto a surge protector on the floor- it really freaked me out- but thankfully, nothing was ruined). My wife says that the install looks very professional/clean- which makes me happy- opposite of the janky bucket. Thank you FUJIWARA.

3 years old and won't pump anymore, a different brand is still going on house heater for 30+ years

I had a more expensive condensate pump in my bedroom and couple of these in totter rooms. Kept making me mad that the pump in my bedroom was sooo noisy and these that weren’t so critical were very quiet, so I finally got another of these for my bedroom. Almost never hear it now, the other one would wake me up at night! Just proves expensive isn’t always better.

This pump was installed to facilitate the condensation discharge from our Mr. Cool basement unit. I will update as time progresses but install was easy. This pump was purchased to replace a Gobi II that malfunctioned by buzzing loudly and constantly after only 2 summers. This one has an external power plug whereas the Gobi had a hard wire that was hidden behind the walls, so this one is less aesthetically pleasing. If it works for longer than the Gobi it will be well worth it though. Updates to come.

This little device is working very well so far. Im using on my portable AC/Heater unit. I was able to attach it directly on the back of my portable ac.. I did have to tap into the AC case making sure the screws did not hit anything on the interior. I then ran the hose through the wall using a 1/2 cvpc line and the through the wall as a 1/4" tube input portal, with a pvc flange on one side to tidy it up. The pump is super quite, much quieter than the AC itself so you cannot even hear it. Its very humid here right now so my unit is producing 3 gallons or more water per day and this thing has no problem keeping up. I will be installing a one way check valve as a precaution later.. but out of the box it is working wonderfully and keeping up.

This totally solved a chronically condensate leaking Daiken split unit in our Sun Room. The existing pump was a smaller unit the installer tried to "hide" inside the Daiken cover (which didn't fit well). The reservoir would fill and the pump would trigger LATE, meanwhile water would spill out on the floor overflowing the condensate tray.I installed this on the wall below the Daiken indoor evaporator unit with new condensate lines. I took 120V power from one side of the 240V power terminal block in the Daiken unit. End result was clean looking and TOTALLY solved the leaking problem. When this unit comes on, you literally can't hear it unless you put your ear against it, that is how quiet it is.My take-away is -- outboard condensate pumps are the way to go.
