Good but not great

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a nice "giz-whiz" item but hardly worth the high price I paid for it. I bought it because it was the only one in Stock for my phone and I needed it. Holding a Samsung S7 Edge without a case is like trying to hold a wet live fish.
The time display is way too short. Also the cover now is not staying closed.
On a plus side I can charge it using the NFC wireless charger but I do have to move it around on the charger pad to find the sweet spot. Not a big negative and much better than connecting a charging cord.
And it is thin and smooth so easy to slip into my jeans pocket.
Also while it is not padded I have dropped my phone a couple of times without damage.

This is a really powerful UPS and handles all of my equipment with ease. I also like the monitoring software but it is a bit difficult to find and download. I had to contact their customer service who promptly sent a link to allow me to download the software.

Excellent full function protection

Expensive but fully functional and I feel safer with a high quality device. Luckily I caught a deal where they were discounted with the trade-in on a used surge protector which was a good way to get rid of the old one that was fried by a surge but still protected my equipment.

Tedious to use
on August 27, 2016
Posted by: BigAl
from Nashville, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this hoping it would be an upgrade from my much older Harmony Remote that I had for years but is showing age. BIG MISTAKE. This remove has a pitiful display and minimum buttons requiring you to wade thru multiple menus to do simple tasks. It is tedious to use requiring two hands instead of just one with my older unit. So instead of an upgrade, this was a significant down grade.

Great backlighting and battery life
on February 26, 2016
Posted by: BigAl
from Nashville, TN
Verified Purchase:Yes
The back lighting on this keyboard is fantastic and the battery life is impressive. You can even recharge the battery from a USB port on your PC while you are using it. When it is plugged in, the keyboard lights stay on all the time. When on battery power, they go off and then come back on when you touch the keyboard. I took one star away because there is no way to adjust the timeout for the keyboard lights to go off, which for me is a little too fast. Also, it is a standard size and style keyboard. I would love to have the keyboard lights on one of the curved keyboards.

Tower unit on its side?

I'm planning to use this 1500 tower style battery back up in my entertainment cabinet. Can I use the tower unit if is it laying on its side instead of standing up?
I did not check the manual but I would be very careful because it has a battery inside and all batteries have acid in them. Even if the top is sealed completely on the battery I would worry that over time it could develop a leak. Best case would be to contact the manufacturer and ask this question.

I have 1 desktop computer and an iPad,lots of pics and lots of music. What back up system would you recommend ?

This one should have more than enough capacity. Add up the amp rating for each device and multiply it times 120 Volts to determine the load. Or if you have the wattage simply add that up. A watt - 1 Amp x 1 Volt.

I have a projector that pulls 14 amps would this ups work or would I need another one?

I would not recommend this one. The rating is 1500 volt-amps. If you have a 14 amp device running on 120 volt power you are pulling 1680 volt-amps (14 x 120) which is over the rating. Having said that, does your projector actually pull 14 amps or is that the rating? In any case, to be safe I would buy a higher capacity unit.
