2025 update, 4 years old it's perfect. I'd trust this thing with my life lolReview 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.

failed after two months of use. will not pump condensation from A/C head, motor stuck in the on position but does not pump water and overflowed causing flood..

Work really great.

This pump was a life saver for me. I had to route the drain hose of my mini split going up to attic and coming down on the other side of the house. Given most of the mini split ACs use gravity based drainage, i needed a way to pump the water up. This one has a 50ml tank, so it won't turn on all the time, it will only turn on when the tank is full, it turns on for 10 seconds to empty the tank, and then goes off again, efficiently and quietly. I do recommend this for anyone who is using mini split AC, especially if you are not sure your drain hose is able to carry the water out.
