CyberPower - 950VA Battery Back-Up System - Black

This UPS is going to replace an older unit that has been protecting my PC for several years. I have three more of them on other electronics in my home. I trust this product.

Purchased to replace a failed unit that was over five years old. Quick shipping and item was immediately placed into use after the initial battery charge time was reached.

I've got a pretty power hungry gaming PC that I got this for. For a while it was great, but then our family adopted a stray kitty from the shelter, and she loves walking all over this thing, cutting off the power. I then found that it works perfectly well standing on its side, and until the cat gets her spider powers, there's no way she can accidentally stand on the off button. Enough juice to keep my gear on when the laser printer goes off!

Have had a power blip since installing and the Modem and PC never dropped. A few weeks later turned off the power to the home office to replace a couple of power outlets and light switches. Went to the office to confirm the power was off and was surprised to find the modem and PC were still working until I remembered the battery back-up strip. It gave me time to plug into an extension cord to the next room to continue running the internet to the house for the short time it took to replace the plugs and switches. When the power was turned back on, returned the unit to the original plug in and the internet stayed available to everyone the entire time. It was one of the Deals of the Day, so it was an exceptional value. Had been considering one, could not resist the price when I found it on sale.

I searched far and wide including big name popular online platforms nothing would touch this for features and price. I needed 12 outlets and the usb built on the power block there is a sibling to this one that has the LED indicator for 20 to 30 dollars more but a simple indicator beep on this does that job just fine because power drain is related to number of devices. 3 year warranty big name maker. I run a 65 inch TV computer ps4 and Nintendo switch modem router and repeater and USB plug ins for charging game controllers and a smart watch. It handles these things with grace. If you want bang for buck and don't have a huge stand by voltage need I would say there is nothing better.

This unit replaced a 7 year old unit of less capacity. The new unit is more powerful, lighter and less expensive than the former unit it replaced. This unit has a better receptacle layout, plus USB ports. I've had the unit up for a couple of months now and have had one activation. It functioned as advertised with enough power not only to provide time for a shut down, but also to keep everything running for the time I needed to finish my work and conduct an orderly shutdown. This was approximately 20 minutes. The unit supports the following items - 1 desktop computer, 2 monitors, cable modem, router, 3 NAS drives, a floor lamp and our 55" TV. Excellent product.

I bought this battery back-up system a month ago after hearing that we were going to have a massive windstorm and we might lose power. I have two small fish tanks so I wanted to have something to temporarily run the heater and the filter. I also wanted something to charge the phone so I would have it on hand. We didn’t get the storm that time around but we had another one shortly after and lost all of the power. We only lost it for a day but I was still able to keep the fish ok and I was able to do a phone charge. The power button is so easy to use that every time my cats step on it for a couple seconds it turns on.

Out of box worked well! I tried their software on my HP Laptop but failed to recognize the hardware May be a conflict with HP Power Management software since it is a laptop and running Windows 10 thought it might be A software/hardware driver Issue but showed installation was successful just won’t recognize the device.
