What's great about it: High Tech, Low Price.
I'm a writer. I lived most of my life on deadline. While computers plus email wrought miracles for me, anything that wiped out the computer meant starting from scratch. Every time I muttered and cussed because an electrical storm zapped my work, my partner told me to get a back-up system. At the time they were quite expensive, so I was reluctant to make the purchase. Then one day I had to rewrite an article on Yorkshire Terriers seven times. That did it. I bought one. Best purchase I ever made. Thereafter I had twenty honest minutes to save my work and shut down carefully, so nothing was harmed or lost. I'm happy to report that this unit is better and less expensive than my original purchase. If you have a computer, you need this. If you have a TV, other electrical equipment, or aquaria housing fish you treasure, you need this. Back-ups aren't alluring. They lack glamour. But they're the little black boxes you mustn't overlook. Get the good stuff. Then get a back-up unit to keep it safe.

What's great about it: Does what it says it will do
What's not so great: Beeps during thunder storms
I gat this to keep my Dish DVR from going out during power outages. We live in a rural area and we seem to have a lot of outages and flickers during rain storms. Every time we would get just a flicker the DVR would reboot itself and take 5 minutes to boot up. I also was concerned about voltage spikes on all of my equipment and I think this provides clean power without spiking. After 2 years my firs Dish DVR died on me and I am sure it was because of the voltage surges. I didn't give it 5 stars because it beeps when lightning flashes and there is no power outage. Annoying. I plan to buy another 1 of these for my PS3 and XBOX and new Panasonic Plasma.

Its very disappointing to have a unit fail for its sole purpose. Had 2 modems (sonic Wall and AT&T) hooked up, in a restaurant to ensure connectivity to the internet. power went out the unit started to beep and kept the equipment on for about 3 seconds, now the UPS portion wont even turn on. called for warranty repair, they said i have to pay for the shipping and will have the unit back within 4 weeks. will most likely buy a new unit and put this one back in the box and return it to the store.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was replacing a smaller unit that i had a few years ... this brand has outlet openings for all size plugs so you can get your printer and fax or any full size plugs next to each other where most other brands are so close that not all plugs will work on the same unit.

What's great about it: Great price, especially when it goes on sale
What's not so great: No display to show load or up-time remaining
If you have frequent, short power failures, this relatively inexpensive piece of equipment could save you a lot of hassle. It's your basic UPS without many bells and whistles. Rated at 625VA, which equates to 375 watts, this one has decent capacity. Don't be fooled into getting a lower powered one. 625VA should be enough to keep most PCs going for at least a few minutes, if not longer. This UPS has a USB interface and software to automatically shut down your PC if you are not around when the power goes out. I used to swear by another brand of UPS that had become the industry standard. But over time I find myself recommending CyberPower instead.

The best part about the cyber power ups/surge protectors is that when the surge protection is used up the plug itself won't work. This way you know that it did its job and it worked perfectly. I have owned 4 of these over the years so far, different models of course and never have I had to replace any of my electronics. I live in an older home so I really need these. Great product believe me spending the 60 to 90 dollars on one of these is a whole lot better than spending 1300 to 2000 on a new computer, TV or anything else you can think of.

It's big. It's bulky. It may not mount on the wall, but it does provide options unlike any other that I have experienced in this category. It was an unplanned purchase, but merely by looking at the description on the box as well as the associate's recommendation, I was hooked. I really like that I can stand it up or lay it down, too, not to mention the battery backup.

What's great about it: Wider spacing between outlets
What's not so great: Nothing
I purchased this model when I needed to replace my battery back-up made by another top named company because I needed a back-up that would handle plug-in transformers placed side-by-side. The other brand would not do that . We experienced a power failure for about 3 hours earlier today and the back-up worked perfectly.

What's great about it: Good protection capacity
What's not so great: Nothing
This provides the surge protection level I think needed to protect my home/office computer and peripherals. Sufficient power outlets for all of them. The computer interface allows me to monitor current power consumption and available voltage (a nice feature but not essential). When I send a print to my HP Laserjet printer a tone is emitted from CyberPower unit alerting me that there is momentary draw down from the battery backup because total power consumption exceeds rating of the CyberPower unit. As soon as printing is finished all is back to normal. Not a fault of the unit - It's telling me I'm at it's limit. For me the solution would be purchase a higher capacity unit but since it's only momentary I will keep this one.

Have a small computer, satellite receiver, and video encoder plugged into this box. Had a power failure, unit lasted about 10 minutes and shut down.
When the power was restored, the UPS unit would no longer charge. To bad it didnt have any notification of that. The next power failure, everything just abruptly shut off, taking the computers boot drive with it. Testing confirmed the UPS will only output power when on A/C main.
Has a three year warranty, but for the cost of shipping it back to be fixed, I think Ill just get another brand since that other brands UPS in my entertainment center kept right on keeping on.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: The software reports status.
What's not so great: None so far.
I have not had a blackout yet but I imagine these units will work just fine. The software tells you how much time is available for backup. I like that the software also tells you just how much electric is being used. It is interesting to watch the power usage spin up as I fire up programs. The power in my neighborhood fluctuates so I appreciate the ability of the UPS to get me through brownouts.

Bought this unit about a month ago as a replacement for another brand of UPS whose software was not working and whose battery was nearing the end of it's life. This UPS was very reasonably priced. The included software was easy to install and not complicated to set up. There has been one brief power outage at my home since my install and the UPS kept my PC running as promised. Could not ask for more. I would recommend this unit.

This is my 3rd purchase of one of these. I was previously convinced that Isotel was the way to go but have been disappointed recently in those products so I have turned to these. All 3 I have purchased so far are still operating perfectly and I am very happy with the value of these units!
