Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased a few of these for my personal Ultimate Laptop setup as after doing the equation (167% of Wattage used = Min Volt-Amperes (VA), and based on my system I needed 2500 VA (so at 1500 VA which is 900 watts each I would need 2 units), which would give me about 15 to 20 minutes of use off UPS battery alone at full load. Put your modem, router, and accessories to run off one unit, while the other runs monitors, PC or Laptop. I do not recommend to daisy chain these together as it would drain the battery of the unit being at the end and you will risk dead cell'ing the unit. However, you simply split the load across both units. Don't be cheap and buy just one battery backup if you are running more than 1k watts. It is recommended not to plug surge protectors into the battery/surge outlets, but that's only if you are plugging in surge pro's with more than 3 devices plugged into them or have a load of over 300 watts total. Otherwise, you should use a surge protector to plug in some of the more ridiculously sized power adapters (cell chargers, speaker systems, monitors- as you can see the white irregular power adapters from the LG monitors in the pic) and then plug the single plug of the surge pro (I used a few Insignia 8 outlet surge pro's, but only 3 outlets from each) into the UPS for a clean install. Bang for the buck Cyberpower is a better choice than APC and with a 3 year warranty you can't go wrong. This unit is quiet and low heat. I would make sure to turn BEEP OFF, otherwise when the unit goes into UPS mode it will beep and become annoying and people will start goose-necking around the office to track down the sound. To do that: hold down the power button to access the menu, then tap until you see BEEP ON, and tap to set to OFF.

Bought this for my gaming PC as my existing 1000va model wasn't enough...the one I had was beeping and would just die if it swapped to battery power when I was gaming so I did some research (search for "killa watt" on your favorite shopping platform to find a good watt meter and make sure your PC under load doesn't go higher than the rated 900 Watts for this product) and found that this model would give me 5 minutes to shut down during a power failure with my PC at full-tilt...this is especially impressive since my system uses a LOT of power when it's running a game. With a 5950x (Unlocked PBO, Maxed Power Targets), RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra @ 450W XOC BIOS, 4 HDD's, 4 SSD's, 8 Fans, and some tasteful lighting...I have my 34" widescreen monitor plugged into its own 900va model but even alone my PC's wattage hits 800+ watts at times (and that's with a Titanium rated 1000W PSU) and this thing still keeps it on long enough to get shut down which is a lifesaver considering I run 2 different RAIDs that don't like unexpected shutdowns. Love this thing...now, the software... The Software: This deserves its own section, frankly I've used software like this in the past in data centers and in businesses but I've NEVER seen this much functionality in a consumer-grade product...it blew my mind! You can get live readings of power usage (1st Image Below) along with time remaining, detailed logs of power events (2nd Image Below), power cost over time (3rd Image Below), and you can setup scheduling and notifications for your UPS in the software (4th Image Below) so it can shut down automatically on power loss at 1am when you're asleep or wait for you to do it during the day and can send you an e-mail when the power drops or when it's restored. This is amazing, I had considered getting a true enterprise UPS at one point and am SO glad I did now...this thing has everything you could possibly need in a home or small business! I had an APC model previously that literally only offered USB connectivity and the ability for Windows to see the battery and manage your power state and nothing else...note that these 2 were in the same price class but there's nothing else in the same class as this thing anywhere near the price that's being asked for here given the features. Definitely a great product at a great price!

I picked this up a couple years ago and it's still running strong. I have a PC, Monitor, 3 printers, and a couple external hard drives plugged into it. I like the USB charging on the front. All good and hopefully will continue for several more years.

Since joining the work-from-home movement, I realized just how handy this device is. I’ve got this one discreetly mounted under my desk that can run a MacBook Pro, 36” LG ultra wide, 27” Dell, gaming PC and HomePod mini. I also have another in my networking closet that powers the modem, switch, router, and NAS. With this combination, I powered through several outages with no downtime. Now my son wants one so his gaming rig doesn’t shut down “at the worst time.” The display on the front is extremely helpful in letting you know how much juice you have based on the connected devices. Go ahead and buy this so you don’t have to worry about downtime. Even if you want to work offline, this is fantastic.

Has definitely saved my computer a few times now with the storms in my area. Only thing is the beeping. If you didn't read the manual like I didn't then the first time it goes off it is LOUD. Check the manual I honestly forget how I turned it off it's been in use for a few months now with no issues and no noise :)

One day after I installed this Cyber Power backup, it performed perfectly to supply uninterrupted power to my attached computer, monitor, and printer during a 2-hour power outage. Based upon the flawless performance of this Cyber Power back-up and of the other units that protect 2 other computer systems in my home, I have high confidence in the Cyber Power brand.

This UPS is not the biggest, or the smallest, but is is just what I needed. The added USB charging ports with 2.1 amps was a nice plus!

This unit provides a decent amount of run time while on battery if it's only powering a computer and monitor. The software is great as it allowed me to change all the settings on my computer instead of using the small screen interface on the front of the unit. Would recommend to anyone.

Perfect backup power and surge protection for computer, router, NAS server, and some ethernet switches. Easy to use and setup.

I have several of there and they work great! Keeps equipment protected and running during power outages...

Not much to say. I bought this Back-Up to replace a failed one I had for years. Got this home, unpacked it, plugged it in, and plugged my 'stuff' into it - VIOLA! I've got working Back-Up again.

Great power pack system. I have 2 of them, one for the entertainment system in the living room and the other in my office for computer, printer, etc. Works great and gives you and opportunity to finish up your work if power goes out but also protects your equipment during power surges.

I have a Sony 65" UHD TV, Tivo, Blu-Ray player, Pioneer 7.1 receiver, Roku, 5.1 Definitive Technology powered sub. speakers, cabinet exhaust fans, clock, Harmony Hub remote control and Ethernet Hub and this CyberPower 1500VA handles it all seamlessly.

This was the best purchase and investment in my office this year because of the power going out because of weather

Excellent UPS. Easy set up. Has provided clean power to my home electronics. TV and satellite router operating stability has noticeably improved. Would definitely buy again.

I love this battery backup so much that I purchased two of them! You never know when PG&E is going to have one of there famous power outages.

It took everything I had to plug in. One source - obe point of contact that can handle a large load for my first PC Build in over 15 years. I went all out and bought thw best.

This unit is awesome - right price - exceeded expectations. We bought two, one for the computer, and another for the LED TV + TIVO Roamio DVR in the living room. For the computer, easy - 750W power supply plus two LCD monitors, runs about 80 minutes during outage. For the TV and TIVO - runs 80 minutes with TV on, 400 minutes with TV off and TIVO on, we got our shows while the power was out when we were away!! This unit has kept the TV and TIVO going during annoying brown outs - and TIVO owners can all relate to what happens during power brownouts and surges --- and 3 (Yes 3!!!) total power outages. We were in the dark watching cable and our TIVO Roamio!!!! Stable, quiet, cool, sits out of the way. Note: This unit has some weight on it. This was a great investment. Get one, trust me!!!!

We lose power too often. Being in a bit of a rural area, power outages are frequent and last anywhere from 10 minutes to 4 hours on average. Recently, the power went out in the middle of Winter Storm Benji. It was out for much longer than hoped and this UPS performed flawlessly, shutting down my desktop PC 5 minutes after power loss, as programmed, and then further shutting everything down at 11 p.m. and automatically restarting at 7 a.m., also as programmed. It allowed us to maintain the bare minimum wi-fi signal so we could at least connect to the outside world on our mobile devices. So often, such devices are never tested ... ours was given a real world test shortly after purchasing and it performed perfectly.

Seems a bit pricey at $170+ but you get your money's worth (especially if it protects $1000s of equipment and saves valuable work in an outtage) so I'm giving it five stars. It's compact, powerful, long-lived, and does it's job flawlessly when needed. (My last unit lasted nearly 5 years and I bought this one right away when it died). Unit has a whopping ten 120v ports in back that are surge protected with far superior protection to those cheap strips you can buy for $15. Five of these are on battery backup. You can protect quite a bit of equipment with this unit. This new version includes two fast-charging USB ports which I use all the time. LED display on the front shows all the vitals. It's expensive, but I have not seen anything with more bang for the buck. I'll buy another one five years from now.
