Quoted from Yelobird:After installing Many Watchdog systems for others over the years I found them less then reliable and not designed for long term use. They were popular years ago just not built well. I opted for the dual Zoeller 508 system which is a workhorse and rather industrial. A bit more expensive but not by much. Watchdog got popular because they hit the big box stores and became a trend. Hope the research pays off but I feel comfortable with Zoeller as the leader in this pump tech. Plus the monitoring system is extremely well done. I'll provide a link if you're interested.

Two Zoeller's on two different lines (on opposite 120 vac mains) one raised 2" from the other plus a a battery backed up Simer is my way to be sure of a dry basement. Had a single Zoeller fail once when a relatives house was empty for awhile. Battery, while in good shape discharged after storms and could not keep up.
No WiFi or any alert system other than a beeper that greeted me when I opened the door.
