For it to be useful year round be nice to keep it dry all year. Sucks if the power goes out or pump seizures up. Shop vacuum gets used some.
One year part of a hurricane came up and dumped like over 4" of rain in a night and lost power. No sump pump so about 4" of standing water.

Yeah, that would solve everything! Won't do much good for the basement storage space, though....
