    • This thing's alarm can't be silenced
    • The frustrating thing is, I have had just a normal surge strip on my PC for years, and other than the fact that Windows quits abruptly, I've never had an issue
    • Only thing I don't like.
    • It started doing the loud beeping thing (which by the way, it didn't even keep my computer on like it was supposed to, for even a second
    • I've been doing the naughty thing, using T's on top of my older model battery backup.
    • It's a pretty cool thing.
    • With ONLY those two items plugged in, we're on pins and needles as to WHEN this dumb thing is going to overload itself and start its continuous beep (which won't shut off until you reset it, which means you have to shut
    • It's the strangest thing.
    • And unless you have an electrical engineering degree, schematics, and a *ton* of experience with working around Sealed Lead Acid batteries, don't even *think* about trying to open this thing up to disable the speaker, it's really quite dangerous inside this box.
    • I live in a rural-area, that has occasional power "dinks" of anywhere from a split-second, or a few-minutes, and this thing has saved me so-many headaches, from lost or corrupt-files during a download
    • I love these things because of the small size.
    • This is the worst thing that I have ever bought from Amazon.
    • I was using this to keep our VOIP box and cable modem up during power outages and the whole thing died, not just the battery protection
    • If someone wasn't home this thing could have burned my house down!!!!!!Trying to contact the manufacturer now since it's past the 30 days that Amazon will do anything about it...
    • It's a small price to pay for the insurance these things offer against losing your work when the power fails or worse yet a sudden power failure without time to shut it
    • I was only able to plug 3 things into this and losing one because of irregular plugs (telephone/ internet
    • This thing is worthless

    • This thing is still working, I suppose.
    • Only thing I don't like.
    • I just replaced a couple of the kind where you couldn't permanently disable the alarm, and so every time there was a power outage, even in the middle of the night, I had these damn things beeping all over the house (my computer, my wife's computer, TV, etc.)
    • Turns out this thing is quite warm.
    • The worst thing is that it will fail on you for no reason.
    • That would be a good thing to know beforehand.
    • that was the right thing to do and no problem.
    • This thing is absolute worthless
    • I checked the fuse, it is fine - the thing is just sitting there humming at me
    • I have an APC UPS for my other equipment and weaned to try this CyberPower model that I head read good things about
    • This thing is perfect for making sure my cable mode, router, and network drive (Which is an auto backup drive
