This is my second one of these, and so far it's been running just as good as the first. When the power goes out it has a semi annoying beep to let you know it's running on battery, but because I read the instructions when I got this one, I found there's a way to turn that off, I mean, it's pretty obvious it's on battery if the whole house it out.
I have my internet hooked up to it since that still works as long as the modem is getting power during a blackout, can't recommend these enough!

When I purchased this I was replacing a 10 year old APC UPS, this UPS cost less money and provided more power than the APC UPS that I was going to purchase. A week after I purchased this UPS I lost power and the UPS provided power for a longer time than I expected it would.

Solid way to ensure you have time to safely shut down your devices during a power outage. That's exactly what this is for. I'm using this to give myself 3 extra hours of power to my router, cable modem, switch, and NAS. This will keep wifi running and my websites running for just a bit longer and hopefully until power is restored. It's also works as a surge protector, protecting my expensive devices from any surges.

Works exactly as advertised. I'm able to use my gaming pc, ps5, dual monitors, and a few lights running from this thing with no problem. Saved my butt the other day too when my power was cut off due to weather. I had plenty enough time to get to my devices and shut them down properly before the battery depleted. Also none of my devices fried bc of the surge protection so that is A plus. Definitely worth the purchase, y'all.

I have a video editing computer that needs dependable power to operate during critical editing processes. A momentary power glitch can wipe out several minutes of editing, so this UPS provides me with several minutes of backup so I can save my work, exit the application and shut down the PC to avoid damage when the power comes back on. Has a great front panel display to give you all of the information you need to know about the health of the UPS, approximate backup power time and condition of the battery. Excellent value for the money and it has saved me multiple times.

Does what it says it does. I bought this to prepare for an impending ice storm. I live in a rural area, and power drops out more than I'd care for it to. This kept my computer and wifi up, with plenty to spare, giving me time to get the generator running. It's a huge pain to have to reboot the computer and reset the router everytime the power goes out. With this, I won't have to do that anymore! I'm very happy with this purchase!

I bought 2 of these because my power is unstable. Working from home is hard when you lose power. Now my cable, TV and computers are just fine. Only had them a month but so far I am more than happy. Very easy to set up and so far I have forgotten they are even there

I had an old Geek Squad UPS that was several years old (if not older), which finally gave up. One thing I liked about the CyberPower UPS is that you can replace the batteries when they get old, as opposed to replacing the entire unit, which can save a few pennies.

Had some issues with power outages in my area which fried one of my external hard drives connected to my Xbox at which I lost everything from the hard drive, bought this one mainly to protect my Xbox not knowing exactly how much my Xbox would pull and going for the bigger one at 1500 VA I figured better to have more than not enough and it can support plenty for example had my Xbox, TV and Wi-Fi modem plugged into it and still wasn't even using the full 1500. After about a week of having it and using it sure enough had a power outage TV, Xbox and modem stayed on and with the digital display on the front it's really nice because you can have it show you how much power it's using for example how much battery is left on it and how long it can support the current load that it has on it and a whole bunch of different ones so when my power went out it showed me that I could have what I was currently using for about 40 minutes before the battery would run out in which case I just shut everything down until the power came back but for sure no doubt saved my Xbox. I am happy about my purchase and would definitely recommend for everyone to have a backup especially in an area that blackouts or brownouts are more common and you have anything that uses hard drives or can be damaged by power instantly being cut to it. It is a little more expensive and with my original intent of just plugging my Xbox into it I could have went with a lower VA option and saved some money but now that I have the bigger one I can plug in more devices and easily monitor with the digital display to make sure I'm not plugging too much in and pulling too much power.

This is the second Cyberpower - 1500va back up battery system we've purchased. The first one was to power our cordless phone base and wireless home phone service. AT&T offers a little known system allows you to port your land line to a cell number. Any land line phone can be plugged into it's base and used over the cell network. It can also be plugged into the wires in your existing home landline. It can be used in your existing home phone lines simply by plugging in any standard or wireless phone. Our second Cyberpower battery purchased powers the WiFi modem and desktop PC. It provides days of back up for just the phones and WiFi. In a pinch we've ran a small generator to one of them and then plugged in a super automatic espresso machine. The Cyberpower handles the initial high current draw of the machine that would normally shut our generator off on overload.

This little UPS does it's job famously.
Saving some cash by going for CyberPower over APC, and I am not disappointed.
The addition of USB ports makes for UPS powering some devices handy.
Handles my two Dell 1950s just fine, using 25% of the total load.

This battery backup suits my needs well. I have one for my TV and entertainment equipment and one for the laptop and monitor. With power fluctuations and short outages relatively frequent in my area they have been a lifesaver!

I've had it for 6 months and living in Florida this has definitely gotten its use. Worked perfectly when power has gone out or flickered momentarily. I like being able to read the output and battery levels. Have my gaming rig, modem, router, a few other items plugged in. USB ports are used for charging phones. I was nervous on purchase since you never know whether or not its going to hold us, but never had any issues with this product.I work from home with virtual machines so this has helped immensely.

I've had this back up system for quite a while now and I am very pleased with it. My last one by another company lasted quite a while, but it was annoying when surges would happen as it made a pretty loud noise. This one sits right next to me and I never know its on. I have a backup generator that kicks on in 10 seconds so its never had to run for long, but it does work instantly and never skips a beat. I'm glad it has the voltage regulation as well because my area is prone to brown outs and surges. Very happy with the purchase
