Software is much better, and will shutdown the laptop should another power failure occur.

The unit has kept me running through quick power flickers, brown outs and full on power failures without issue

But I want the supplied software to shut down my desktop computer within just a few minutes of a power failure in order to keep Internet up as long as possible

The fact that it can output a pure sign wave during a power failure is very important and few units of this size and price can do that

I live in an area with a lot of power failures, and I've had a couple of power ups with little success

This also gives me the ability to take a hot shower during a power failure.

we had at least couple of power failure and the server seem to be ok and surviving with no shut down

In case of a power failure I would like the software to shutdown the PC but leave the router and cable modem going.

I live in Florida, where we have frequent thunderstorms and power failures, so I have been able to test this unit under actual conditions on numerous occasions.

I have even continued watching a movie for thirty minutes into a power failure (which is hard on the batteries, the inverter and equipment) without any issue, and according to the unit display I could have gone another thirty minutes

the APC would not keep it running during power failures

We are north of Boston and have had numerous short power failures and "hits" due to wind and snow knocking tree branches into power lines

We don't have a lot of power failures or fluxes where we live - just enough to crash everything when it happens, which is amazingly annoying when it destroys the most recent 24 hours of video recordings on your Lorex security cameras.

If there is a power failure while it is sleeping it can run for 127 minutes

I have the software set up to automatically shut down the computer in the event of power failure

Your computer will NOT startup automatically after a power failure

Countless brownouts and multiple power failures, kept my desktop going steady as a rock

The result is that the power failure does not require resetting all of your software

Liked most of them, didn't like APC.This unit will keep your computer and network up during power failures and have adequate capacity to last a good long time (45+ minutes for me).

That is plenty of time to survive a temporary power failure or give me time to properly shut down the projector in an extended power outage

These units are also good to keep your Internet router, TV DVR, security DVR, etc. functioning during a power failure.

The reason I asked my wife for this unit was for it's purported ability to gracefully shut down software and Windows in the event of a power failure and restart it remotely once the power returns.

This allows the UPS to signal the iMac if there's a power failure

This UPS has saved me from plenty of headaches; 159 power failure events to date since July of 2012.There was no initial charging odor as others have mentioned

This Cyberpower unit worked like a charm - we had a power failure - the pc remained on and after the allocated time, it did a controlled shut

With all connections made, I ran a power failure test (I wonder how many UPS buyers ever do this?).

My neighborhood has a few power failures every year, as well as "blinks", just long enough to lose whatever I was working on and make my computer reboot.

I tested it with a light load (a 60W lamp, unplugged the UPS to simulate a power failure and it worked), and then I had to take it out to the garage!

There was no power failure in the house.

If you're looking for a basic UPS system, and are not concerned about much else than to set your system to power down on a power failure, or just protect what you have from power 'glitches', then this is a nice system

and it has performed well with only one actual use in a real power failure.

The software is not too good since it says there have been no power failures even though power has been out numerous times.

but I thought I'd write this for those of us who do 3D printing and worry about power failures in the middle of a very long print.

I have used one of these for a couple of years with my desktop computer, as added protection against power surges and also power failures

I ordered this instead of an additional APC with the expectation that it would keep my electronics running in case of a brown out or a power failure.

Irrational behavior of the unit during power spikes/interruptions, very short battery power after power failure, couldn't control the annoying beeping either.

Had a power failure while I was working, It estimated that I had 1/2 hr of time left.

Computer crashes at power failure.

It looks like I'll get about 20 minutes of power for these two; however for many of the 24 hours in a day, everything is hibernated, so I should get *hours* of reliability from this unit in case of a power failure

Had a power failure when a contractor hit an underground cable nearby and you would of never known with the computer

Secondary function would be to keep the Internet running on power failure

It is an elegant and functional design and worked during the power failure.

During a power failure it has keep my network router, ADT pulse router, Arlo base station, modem, web power switch, NAS and a couple of external hard drives powered for about 1.5 hours.

I had my first power failure due to lightning the other day, and this thing kept right on humming.

I've had numerous power failures, but my PC's on my Cyberpower Sinewave UPS's have always kept running

This unit has never once stopped my computer from dying because of a power failure

I have had three intermittent power failures since I installed this unit and in each case it kept my PC and other items online without missing a beat.

I have used one of these for a couple of years with my desktop computer, as added protection against power surges and also power failures.

The only thing it will not do is shut down my Mac when it is in sleep mode but 127 minutes should outlast most power failures.

Had a power failure the day after installation and was happy to have it!

Two days after I installed it and configured the UPS to protect my computer, monitor and external HDD, we had *another* thunderstorm and power failure

I was looking at buying more of these as I'm moving and need to power a rack of gear that I want to have shut down gracefully in the event of a power failure

That building has regular power failures.

Even for power failures of only a second or two, my computer dies and reboots

Over the past couple of months, we’ve had an unusually large number of storm-related power failures, two of which caused my computer to bluescreen.

I had one brief power failure that was no problem with the estimated 7 minute runtime, which is enough for my application.

Anyway I enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that another power failure won't scramble my hard drives.

The CyberPower UPS worked perfectly without a hitch and was completely unfazed by the brief power failure

It has enough capacity to power my computer, monitor, and external hard drive for 15-20 minutes during a power failure

The problem is that it forgets everything that it learned whenever there is a power failure

My old APC unit worked good on power failures until its battery lost capacity after several years.

For example, if I walk away from my pc for 30 minutes with programs and data files open and the pc goes into hybrid sleep mode, the UPS will not shut down the pc or itself in an orderly fashion in the event of a power failure

This unit was meant to be a backup power for my computer, as I use it for work and while I back up often as I work, I cannot afford to lose any of it due to power failure.

The unit is being used for battery backup to a business system that has been affected by power failures and brownouts.

And did a power failure test

I bought 3 of these pieces of CR@P to filter the A/C line during a power failure because I have a Emergency Stand by Power Generator that provides Power when Duke Energy ca

this unit can provide about 100 Watt-hours of energy in the event of a power failure.

Living in Pinellas County Florida, we experience more power failures than one would expect, due to lack of maintenance by our power company

So it did exactly what a UPS is not supposed to do, and that is to drop power to the loads instantaneously upon incoming line power failure

There haven't been any power failures or lightening strikes so the unit hasn't been severly tested but all is working as it should

When I do have power outages that last for more than a few minutes, it will power down my computer in such a way that when I later turn it back on the computer powers up in the same state as it was before the power failure.

I confirmed this by doing a power failure test and with nothing on but a USB

Your computer will no longer start up after a power failure

Bought this to keep my cable modem, computer, and monitors alive in case of power failure while day trading

No warning, on power failure last night for the first time ever, the battery only last 5 seconds

There haven't been any power failures or lightening strikes so the unit hasn't been severly tested but all is working as it should

But for some reason my Vizio TV sees the interruption as a power failure and shuts down immediately

Over the course of the time I've used it there have been several power failures but the UPS handle them all with no difficulties

I wanted to use this with my gaming PC (specs below) because I occasionally have power failures here and wanted to be able to cleanly shut down my PC instead of having it shut off instantly, risking damage

Worked smoothly under two “simulated” power failures providing 100 minutes of power (each time) and maintained internet access to the low-draw devices

Recently we have had a rash of power failures and it still shuts off after 5 minutes

but it had passed the diagnostic and passed a few artificial power failures

All the others at some point were able to do the same thing in actual power failures.

Now when there is a power failure I have to immediately shut down all of the equipment connected to this device

so I shouldn't ever have to worry about power failures again

I have not has a power failure to test the runtime and performance with yet - had a near miss a couple weeks ago, but I wasn't on the line that went down.

Over its 15 month life, it's never had to supply power for more than 15 seconds at a time, because our backup generator comes on line within 15 seconds of a power failure.

USB interface works with the Synology DS916+, reporting battery and power status and allowing a graceful shutdown during power failures Also keeps the EdgeRouter Lite and a few networking components running during power outages.

I had a total power failure yesterday that lasted 40 minutes.

Great product and has worked many times with power failures.

it only burns about 100 W of power

This pure sinewave module has eliminated it entirely and is as good as when the power is on

Do not rely on this backups to protect ethernet as it failed in my case

We had a huge surge that burned out the APC I had and damaged the (5-yr-old) Cyberpower computer hooked to it -- I was able to pull of all my data (all backed up like crazy anyway) off -- but suffered through the horrid smell of electrical burning as I was doing it.

They're fully compatible over USB with Synology's UPS service, which can also then serve UPS states to other Synology servers as well as via NUT to Windows and Linux workstations and servers.

Works exactly as it should, has come in during blackouts, keeping my key equipment from crashing.

I hope the battery replacements I order someday real soon will serve me as well as

Arrive on time and work as should be( software sloppy )but unit work perfect

I have not had any odors or issues as I have seen others write about

but I'm not worried as I think this will work great for my home computer.

I love the user interface on the newly designed cyberpowers as they are easier to read with the upgraded displays and prevent you from accidentally powering everything off abruptly when accidentally tapping thew power button like they used to on the older models

Both work exactly as they are supposed too.

In testing, when putting it on battery power, the noisy-as-can-be fan comes on and will NOT shut off, even after an hour of being back on main power

Set up was easy and I've tested a couple times and it works as it should.

u will loose 2 plugs.the one the device uses and part of the plugs next to it for the block..

is last only couple month old and dead....call cyberpower they have 2 warranty department and if u get the right one u will have lady voice
