    I gave this 2 stars not because of the UPS itself. The UPS works fine. The shipping however.....Best Buy shipped this item with no protection what so ever. The UPS housing had damage because of this. Other than that, it works great and Best Buy gave me a discount for the damage. All good.

    This unit probably works great in the city where it’s connected to the electric grid but out here in the sticks where we rely on solar power and generators it’s useless. No matter how you adjust the settings it constantly goes into battery mode and will not charge itself.

    I don't think I got that long a backup power, all things considered. I think more than an hour or 2 of wifi should have been possible with a battery that size, my phone does it.

    Within 1 year, the unit will not hold power for more than 10 minutes. This is only powering a small modem. I called CyberPower customer service and was told since it does stay on even if just 10 minutes, the unit is good and no warranty available. DO NOT PURCHASE. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NO GOOD! Purchase a better brand.

    Unit I received is either defective or not up to specs. I just have one computer and a modem/router plugged into the backup outlets. Any glitch in power causes the computer to just die (without a shutdown procedure), even through the computer is connected to the battery and Cyberpower software is set to keep the computer running as long as possible. If the lights just flicker for a split second, the computer just dies without shutting down.

    I bought this unit in Dec 2022. During a storm in the beginning of March I lost a soundbar,router, and TV plugged into it when lignin caused a surge. It says there's a $500,000 lifetime guarantee but they make the claims process next to impossible so they won't have to pay claims. Do not recommend.

    Does not carry PC through power blips. Drops load

    Not impressed. I have had several power blips when storms roll through and the server drops and reboots every time. This UPS does not carry through. Thought I had a defective unit so I exchanged it but no improvement. Simply does not do what a UPS is supposed to do. Now I am past 30days and stuck with it. Will eventually go with a better brand and try again.

    This unit performs great when there are short power interruptions. However during Hurricane Ivan when we lost power, it lasted for 13 minutes. I had one cable router (15 watts) and one wireless router (12 watts) - not exactly a big load. All instructions were followed so I may have gotten a bad unit or this thing is really not worth the $
