    Tripp Lite 1500VA Smart UPS Battery Back Up, 900W Rack-Mount/Tower, LCD, AVR, USB, DB9 (SMART1500LCD)

    • Great unit, Lots of power ports,Small footprint and is rack mountable.1200VA and 700W is decent enough for the smaller devices like switches, routers, firewalls, modems and small servers
    • Great unit, Lots of power ports,Small footprint and is rack mountable.1200VA and 700W is decent enough for the smaller devices like switches, routers, firewalls, modems and small servers
    • The unit is still providing power but I am extremely dissapointed at the quality and definitely don't trust this unit in the event of a power failure.
    • I had 2 units (one for my computer systema dn one for my HT because I like the digital and horizontal layout
    • I highly recommend these units.
    • Also - be aware that this unit is force-cooled and can be a bit noisy, especially when charging or discharging.
    • Not a major issue as long as the unit works, but keeps me from considering the manufacturer as an option for any serious projects.
    • If you are buying for an already-noisy environment and don't care about an extra turbofan, they do make good rackmount units and are much less expensive than comparable APC items
    • Overall, I really like this unit and it appears to be doing the job well for now.
    • : Unit has failed as of 1/18/2015
    • Anyway, the unit works great, but the LCD has been twitchy ever since I got it - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't .
    • Nice unit!
    • Needed a small unit for our test bench to protect the PBX Servers we sell while they are being programmed in-house
    • Regrettably, I cannot recommend this unit or any other TrippLite with an LCD until there is reliable evidence that they have corrected the problems which resulted in this part failing somewhat consistently.
    • Seriously a solid unit for the price
    • I just purchased a replacement for the failed unit.
    • I like the display and the ability to rotate it which I did so that I could lay the unit on its side
    • Our results for those 125 Oneac units:initial install: 0 DOA units.6 months later: 0 dead units.12 months later: 0 dead units
    • Called tripplite support, very helpful but unit still dead
    • Great little UPS unit for the money
    • The unit is completely unresponsive and has definitely had only light usage
    • Without user replaceable cells, most people will either scrap the unit or send it in to TrippLite for what I would imagine to be an expensive battery replacement service.
    • Great unit takes a few minutes to mount in the rack, plug everything in and go! Using this in my home, so my router, PFsense box, AT & T router, switch, hue hub, Ooma phone and more are plug into it.
    • If the UPS is smart enough to recognize that the battery needs replacing, the unit should beep and/or illuminate the battery icon to let you know!
    • Unit worked great for 2 weeks
    • But I have 6 units from Cyberpower in rackmount formfactor and this unit seems like a toy by comparison
    • Works very well but this unit is NOISY!
    • It is a nice reliable unit, and I am very happy with it.
    • Great little UPS unit
    • The unit failed immediately.
    • The unit quit working due to dead battery.
    • The unit is working properly.
    • I have lost a tv to surges and this little unit has been working great for 3+ years.
    • This Monday July 11 2011, the unit stopped working
    • This is a very solid unit, and I leave it standing vertically next to my desktop tower on the floor under the desk
    • Came home to find unit dead, no ac voltage out of battery back-up outlets
    • There was a comment posted at one point saying it was loud, they must have had a defective unit or something because this thing is incredibly quiet
    • The unit was great for two weeks then the display became unreadable.
    • This unit is worthless for that purpose since it has too long a latency period for the power to transfer to the computer with a brief outage, and the computer still crashes
    • UPDATE: my second unit has now failed, making for 100% failure rate within 2 years
    • In all, this is a great unit and for 1000VA, it's a good deal.
    • - I argued both units were defective
    • I have replaced the cells in my APC units since it is more environmentally friendly to replace just the battery rather than the whole unit (and often cheaper, too, for 500VA models or larger).
    • The clearly defective units are one thing, but the refusal to acknowledge the problem from Tripp Lite support is just unacceptable from a supposed industry leader
    • (this has nothing to do with Amazon, but the product itself).Fast forward three years and two weeks, and this unit is dead.
    • Our data: after the initial install of 125 units, 1 DOA unit.6 months later= 5 dead units (won't power PC for 30 seconds though meter shows 100%)12 months
    • I don't know if this was a defective unit but some people have complained about the odor and irritated eyes.
    • They have a three-year warranty if you don't mind record keeping and shipping, but I'd prefer a better built unit.
    • The unit works fine, but the display is slightly tilted to the right.
    • Unit didnt work
    • Both units failed within 3-4 months during moderate use in a home theater/ audio setup
    • This time the unit worked as it should, display showed full charge, and with a two hour power failure earlier this week it ran gave me time to shut the system down
    • The unit itself appears fine but the product box (inside the Amazon shipping box) was open on one side, and there was only one rackmount ear in the box
    • No problems so far, using multiple units for 2 different system with qadditional units for the switches at multiple locations (I like to standardize wherever possible).
    • Functionality-wise, I like these units.
    • I have had my unit almost a month and it still smells like burning elctronics
    • My particular unit you can hear something rattling inside it.
    • Unit failed after only 1 year of use and approximately 6 activations of the battery backup all of which were around a quarter load (200 watts or so)
    • connected (50w or less).Some units show 100V incoming voltage, while the good unit in the same outlet reads 117-124Buy something else.
    • Not as good as the APC units I've purchased in the past
    • These units were redesigned mid-production, and the newer ones simply don't work, and Tripp Lite is trying to cover this up by denying the problem
    • Unit out of blue just failed...no power outage
    • Nice compact unit
    • I do recommend this unit, with the caveats above.
    • The unit, while working properly, did even out fairly frequent power fluctuations.
    • Even when you turn it on and the unit is cold the fan screams away.
    • Like everyone else stated, this unit work and for the price i have to give it a 5 stars but reliability only time can tell
    • Great unit, good cost for a home computer backup
    • The unit works fine, but the fan that comes with this thing is so ridiculously loud, it sounds like a tornado is a foot away
    • So far this unit seem to be OK & working as it should, hooked 2 desk top top PC's ( Acer AG6-710 & Cybertron Predator i7 ) & a 40in., a 28in. & 2 15.6in, monitors, also using lan connections, case is slightly warm, no fan noise, unit is on all the time, unit is heavy- it was double boxed, well packed, no damage.
    • It's a good unit, don't get me wrong... but whatever you need in Watts, DOUBLE it... and get the appropriate model for your needs (Double your needs) to have a modest 3 minutes at maximum load
    • Once this unit was plugged in and warmed up, it emitted a strong plastic/electrical smell that filled the room
    • It is an attractive unit, and unlike the APC, the unit can be placed horizontal as well as vertical, and the screen can be repositioned so it is logical for the positioning.
    • I really like this unit but feel that it should have lasted longer than 14 months.
    • The unit worked great for 3.5 years
    • These units are somewhere between the cheapest off brand units and the real heavy hitting enterprise level equipment
    • I like that it has u
