Whats a good Quiet Energy Efficient Submersible Sump Pump. need two 1000gpd or one 1800gph?

I found a couple 1000 gpd at 50 watts and the new Rio 32HF is 1920GPH at 115 watts. ALL IN PUT IS WELCOME.

anyone use or heard of any of these-
Nursery Pro Ultra NPU1000 (Sump Pump)
800gph at 5' (1000gph at 1') 50w

Quiet One Pumps 4000 - 50 watts

I read this negative review on this one though-
doesn't restart after power failure I had to keep plugging them in and out to finally get a restart and I bought two of them both do it.

would you recommend it or not because of that reason? never been in the situation before.

Or the new High Flow Series Rio 32HF 1920GPH at 115 watts

GX4100 at 70watts 1085 9.2 feet 49.00 With Adjustable Flow Control

i use an oceanrunner. i dont quite remember the specs though but i thought ti was energy efficient enough to purchase.

only noise i get is vibration from the pump so it's a low hum unfortunately. should've padded the bottom of the sump more.

Ocean Runner 3500 (900gph) pulls 65w
teh 6500 (1700gph) pulls 115w
Eheim 1262 (900gph) pulls 80w

Have no experience with your listed pumps, The 1262 and the 3500 have both been great pumps for me, very reliable.
