    Had a lightning strike and my old unit was zapped and so replaced it with this one - similar to old one power wise but more outlets. So far on two outages it kept everything up and running until power returned. The dashboard is great and easy to setup.

    Good for starting fires, bad for everything else

    My unit caught fire, and that is apparently not uncommon for this model (I don’t know which of those facts is more frightening). I owned it for roughy 3.5 years, and this morning it decided to set itself on fire. I happened to be a couple of feet away, and noticed that it switched to battery mode three or four times, despite no loss in power. A couple of seconds later there was a big pop, and acrid black smoke filled my room. I could see a fire on the inside of the unit, and quickly disconnected and removed it from the environment. Cannot say strongly enough that I really don’t recommended this product, or this brand.

    This thing has saved my NAS multiple times since we have a power grid so fragile in my neighborhood that if a fly farts the power goes out.

    We have a house in the mountains that has power outages quite regularly for 8-12 hours at a time due to weather or because they are working on the infrastructure. We hooked up out internet, TV, phone, and computer to this device so that we will not be without communications if we loose power. You can also charge other electronics devices via USB, such as cell phones, tablets, or flashlights, while power is out. Did everything we expected it to do.

    So far so good. Have it hooked up for our big screen TV and cable box. Haven't had a chance to "test" it yet, but comfortable it will do what it is supposed to, as well as provide a short period of continued watching if we take a short power hit or sustain a power outage.

    Great battery back-up. Easy to set up and display is easy to read. To this point I have not lost power so it hasn't kicked on yet but definitely removes some worry associated with expensive electronics during weather.

    This UPS serves as a barrier between your pc and any unexpected power surges. Not only that, If you don't want to lose all your work during a nasty weather storm, get this to have a peace of mind.

    Well I just installed it after checking it with an O-scope. It is indeed true sine wave and with just my cable modem and router on it (38 watts) it runs for about 2 hours and 20 minutes.

    I bought this to protect my main computer. It does just what it should do, sit there and kicks in when power goes out or browns out. I have several CyberPower UPS and I am very pleased with all of them.
