Poor product with short lifespan
on November 25, 2010
Posted by: NasaSputnik
from New York
I purchased a cyberpower power management unit for my home computer system about 10 months ago to protect
against power surges and provide a few minutes of battery backup in case of a power outage in my home
office. Over the years I've come to expect less from a product than what's advertised on the box so I
never expected this to actually power my system and it's peripherals for a full 30 minutes. However, I
also didn't expect this device to completely shut down without warning every time there's a power dip or
hiccup! It's worked properly exactly twice, where I was able to take two minutes and shut down the
computer in the event of a power loss, running off the stored charge in this unit. Every other instance
of a less-than-perfect power situation (not even a power loss mind you) this unit simply shuts down,
freezes up, and beeps steadily until I crawl under the desk and cycle the power button. This unit is NOT
to be trusted, especially as a main power mgt setup. It lasted barely two months before becoming a rather
heavy extension cord awaiting disposal. I've been meaning to purchase a new and proper unit for my small
home office for months now but it's been hectic and I keep forgetting about this issue until a sudden
loss of work. Since this just happened again, I'm writing this review and heading out to get a real UPC!
Good luck to all who roll the dice with this thing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
What's great about it: shiny gold connectors are pretty
What's not so great: it's an overweight extension cord, hopefully the ground wire works...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
