    Very similar to the competition (which is what I'm replacing... No problem with competition, however). There was virtually nothing involved with set-up. 100% plug & play. Time will tell. The competition lasted September 2015 - August 2022. I'm anxious to see the life of the CyberPower Back-Up.

    It has a nice control panel that makes it easy to know the charge capacity and rate of discharge. The pure sine wave output helps computers last longer.

    I bought this backup system mainly for our modem and wifi router. We are still working from home and require constant internet for work. They day I installed it we had a blackout in the afternoon for several hours. The modern and router lasted 2 hours on. We’ve had other power surges since setting it up, and internet has kept working without any problems.

    Couldn’t recommend a product like or similar to this for anyone who cares about the technology they use everyday. With the common brownouts and crappy power grid, it’s nice knowing that my computer can be safely turned off in the event of a total power loss

    My last one lasted for many years. I think the reason it stopped working is I didn't read the manual which said NOT to plug a LASER printer into the battery backup side. I'm not making that mistake with this one.

    Less than an hour into service for my computer and it proved it's self without a flicker to my screen. I have one on my fridge too, to protect the motor and provide backup power during outages it's been flawless for months.

    The highest end UPS I've ever bought was needed for a new high end computer build. I love the efficiency of this unit as it runs much cooler than my far cheaper, smaller UPS units that simulate the sine wave with square waves. The fact it has a display that displays power usage, is a great benefit as well.

    Recently purchased the backup battery system for my Playstation 5. In the past, an electrician was working on my house and I specifically asked, "Will I lose power upstairs"? And of course, he stated that I should be fine and long and behold the power tripped while I was on my PS5.

    This UPS work very well. Easy to set up and has provided me with the time needed to safely save my work and shut down during a few power outages. and do the sign wave stabilizer built it this has lowered my power bill by a few dollars. So in the long run will pay for itself.

    Protected PC during Storm

    I've had this product for several months now. Roughly two months ago, we had a very long outage due to a horrible storm. When the power initially went out, I had time to turn off my large PC. After turning it off, I only kept my phone charger in and I was able to charge my phone for a bit afterwards. Only slight concern is that after I powered it off, the battery backup didn't keep it's stored battery power- making it unable to be used afterwards if I needed to charge my phone again. (Maybe that is said in the description and I might've missed it.)

    Easy to set up and get using. Haven't really had an outage to test it truly besides a flicker. But its doing what its supposed to so far.
