    CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS System, 1500VA/900W, 10 Outlets, AVR, Mini-Tower

    • The transition is seamless between power sources!Also the battery appears rather easy to replace!I primarily bought this product because my computer survived 1 bad brownout a month ago, and I didn't want it to endure another one again!This UPS doesn't just react to power loss situations
    • Went through real life test with complete power loss when USB connected Synology Disk Station was doing cloud backups and sync of just hot-swapped drive
    • Works well through light disturbances and complete power loss.
    • I'm loading 280 watts but it turns off with any power loss
    • and now, this will automatically shut down my computer in the event of a power loss after 5 min run time on battery
    • This replaced a very old UPS that was way past due and no longer kept my PC running whenever a sudden power loss blip occurred.
    • These come with a high pitched alarm at all hours, and sometimes with unexpected power loss
    • The UPS always shows F02 "OVER LOAD" when AC power loss with PC load 300W.The UPS seems to work OK at load below 200W.
    • It can also be setup to tell the unit what to do in the event of power loss regarding shut down and there is a feature to test the unit if in doubt
    • it's because I have sensitive equipment attached and don't want power loss to occur without
    • Protection from power loss, no
    • Second unit in a row (within a week) that failed with an F02 error, Appears to be an internal fault, and it immediately shuts down all equipment, though has no record of shutting down and no record of power loss.
    • and now I don't have to fear data loss from a power loss situation.
    • Keeps my PC up during occasional utility power loss.
    • You can permanently mute the power loss alarm if it’s not that important
    • 1000VA unit works with Dell Precision where previous non-sinewave APC unit of same size (less than 1 year old) was routinely problematic (CPU would just instantly turn off at power loss)
    • Upon power loss, the UPS gracefully shuts down the NAS to prevent possible data loss
    • We bought this UPS (the 850VA/510W model) to keep our CATV drop amp, modem, router, and computer equipment running temporarily until our standby generator kicks in about 15 seconds after power loss.
    • It had 11 logged power loss events when I first powered it up,
    • I never had a real power loss
    • The true sinewave power it outputs will keep your most expensive and sensitive devices running smoothly so that you can safely shut them down in case of power loss.
    • Was rather interesting to find out that the home laser printer I have installed in the same room (but not plugged into the UPS) reduces the voltage on this circuit in my home so much that it trips this UPS into thinking there's been a power loss.
    • Tremendous device and has already gone through two power outages and not a hint of a power loss from any of my PCs, network devices, routers, stereo system or TV (I bought two of these)
    • i have 2 external HDs that are networked to my PC, so - and in the past, i've cringed when it happened - i wanted to avoid the consequences of sudden power loss
    • This has helped with 18 power loss events since purchase and it estimates I can keep the PC and monitor running for 40 minutes on battery backup.
    • Last 4 mins after power loss for TV, cable box, internet box and Alexa
    • turning off these drives is one thing [typically, 'powering-down' involves some Process shutdown processes when the power switch is moved to OFF], but sudden power loss can damage hardware and software components and shorten their lives
    • Once the battery drops to a set percentage, the server can safely shut down and prevent file corruption.1 hour is a good amount of time for small interruptions, such as a brief flicker or a few minutes of power loss, or even when working on the electrical panel
    • That one is primarily to plug their phone in during winter power loss, and keep their
    • I like how the software app will monitor for events so you can see things like low voltage, brief power loss, etc
    • The software also has a feature that will tell you the history of power losses or spikes and that is nice to see if the power went out when you are away
    • However, the only mention in the "User's Manual" was one sentence that the system "includes software that will automatically shut down your system during a utility power loss".
    • As expected, the Internet works with no issues on power loss, tested during an actual blackout condition
    • ProsOutputs cleaner electricity than wallMy computer/monitors/game console show no evidence of any power loss when the UPS switches to battery powerVery high capacity for a personal setup (according to the display, I could use my computer for 1-2 hours before the battery ran out, though I've never tried a hard test)4 battery backup outlets, 4 surge protected outlets, 2 extra outlets, 2 usb outlets on front, coax passthrough for cable internetConsOutlets are close together, so a plug with a box will take up more than one outletIt would be nice if more than 4 outlets were battery backup, but you really should only need one for your computer and one for a monitor
    • These units saved me from many occurrences of sudden power loss until the batteries lost their ability to sustain the unit for which there was no prior warning
    • So most of my systems will automatically shut down in case of a power loss when the UPS is low.
    • it only burns about 100 W of power
    • With two(2) of these plugged into the exact same duplex outlet, the bad one(s) would cycle randomly, while the good one(s) would work fine, so this appears not to be a utility power problem.
    • I would suggest CyberPower hire one of the many now unemployed English professors and have the guy write up a decent User’s Maual in the tradition of APC.
