Excellent, Dependable UPS!
This UPS is a reliable workhorse! I’ve got a few of these managing power to my servers, and I’ve not had any issues with them at all, despite several power outages and drops. I always hear the relay click over immediately (from mains to battery), and once the power comes back on reliably, I hear it again as it switches back to mains power. The display and buttons are rather intuitive, and it just looks nice overall. Recommended!

Works as described! Good buy for the money spent!
I use it for my home computer system. Be sure to follow the instructions precisely when it comes to connecting devices to this unit. Only connect what you really need in the event of a power outage, to the powered outlets. Computer, modem, monitor, even a small desk lamp/light. Follow the instructions and DO NOT connect devices like laser printers as they require a large power output to operate, and will create a major drain on this device, even if they’re not printing anything. Besides, how often do you have to print documents that you need power to your printer at all times? I connected my printer and stereo speakers to a separate power strip connected to a different outlet in the room.The software disc that comes with it installs easily, and adds a monitor display screen to your task bar. This can be opened to show the power available from the unit, should you lose power, as well as, the power drain that would be in effect to the devices you have attached, and your total battery time remaining based on devices that are connected. You can run diagnostic tests to make sure it’s fully functional. You can also configure the alarm and software sounds, the length of time your computer runs on battery, and voltage controls for the tolerance of your UPS to voltage flucuations.Simply put, if you have too many devices plugged in and the power drain exceeds the power available, your backup power will drain much faster, and some devices, like your computer, may suffer from a hard crash resulting in lost data that you did not have time to save.You get nine outlets for your devices. A column of five powered/surge protected outlets on one side, and a column of four surge protection only (non-powered) outlets on the other side. In the center you have phone line in/out ports, coax in/out ports, and a reset button. Above the column of four non-powered/surge protect only outlets is the interface port for connection to one of your computers USB ports. A USB cable, Phone cable and Power Cord for this unit are included. So may sure you have an available USB port on your computer!Directions tell you to plug the unit in by itself to charge it up, before connecting your devices. Lucky for me, mine was already fully charged, so my setup only took a few minutes. I don’t know how long it would take to charge it up fully from a depleted state, so don’t expect to put it right to use, just out of the box. Afterall who knows how long yours was packaged and sitting on a shelf somewhere before it was shipped to the store, and/or to you.The only drawback I can foresee is that not all power plugs are shaped the same and you may find yourself doing some fancy maneuvering of power plugs on the back of this device, to make sure you connect all that you want to. Large/Wide power plugs attached at the top, or in the center, may block access to the coax and/or phone line ports. I don’t use any coax connections so I didn’t mind blocking one of mine.As always, keep the instruction book, as it contains information about how to order replacement batteries for this unit.

More useful than I thought
I purchased the CyberPower CP100AVRLCD as a business purchase and an extra security measure for my computer. I have to admit a little buyer’s remorse when the package came in. I debated whether it was really that necessary or just a techie extravagance.My concerns were immediately alleviated when I printed to my laser printer. That printer is a little old and a power sucker. My lights dim whenever I use it, but I thought I had each item on a separate circuit. Apparently not. Immediately the UPS kicked in and modulated the electricity within a safe range for my computer. I have essentially been creating brown-outs whenever I print, putting extra strain on my computer and external hard-drive.The display is nice. It lets you know when the unit is active and turns off when it is not. The blue-lighted power button stays on as long as the unit is on. The size is very compact, but it is heavy as bricks. The setup is super easy. I have it set to my Mac Pro. There aren’t many extended options for the Mac. You basically hook it to the compute via a USB cable and set your Energy Saver system preferences for the UPS. That control panel will allow you to determine how the computer responds when it is relying solely on the UPS and gives the battery level of the UPS.Other reviewers are correct in that the plugs are closely spaced, which can reduce the amount of equipment you can plug in depending on the plugs. Only some of the plugs are protected by the battery. The others have only surge protection. But you really just need the computer, monitor, and possibly extra hard drives on battery power. The less power drain on the battery will allow it to last longer.One thing I would be curious to know is whether the UPS computer shutdown will override requests by applications to save files and such. Normally the shut-down command times out if applications hold it up too long. I haven’t tested this yet.UPDATE: About a year later and the UPS is still working great. I’ve been doing extensive electrical work on my house, and it saved me a couple of times when I forgot I left the computer on and shut of the main power.It will beep when the power is off but items are pulling electricity from it. The more electricity you are using from the battery the faster the beeping, which is a very nice attribute.It really helped me out when I had the power completely shut off to my house. Long story but I needed to get a hold of the permit inspector so I could set up a follow-up inspection. His number was on my email, so I hauled the UPS to my living room, hooked up the wireless router and cable modem, and was able to connect to the internet with my laptop.Update: about 2.5 years later and it is still working well.Update: It is about 4.5 years after purchase. The battery has some issues. I do not know if it is because of age or if it is inherent to the product but unnoticed until the situation arose.Issue#1 The power went out while I was walking the dogs. I returned to my computer shut down from power failure. Our walks take about 20minutes, and the power probably did not go out right at the beginning. I am assuming it was out about 10minutes. I would think it should allow for power that long with just one inactive computer and monitor. Most likely the battery is just old now.Issue #2. There was a brown-out. I now have 2 computers plugged in. An old mac pro and a new one. The old one was fine but the new one shut down immediately. The brown-out lasted a few second and the battery kicked in right away. I am wondering if the system let through a power fluctuation that the new mac pro is more sensitive to. This one I would be more concerned about if buying new.

Great UPS
This UPS works great. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars, is because I haven’t had it long enough. This UPS holds its charge. Supplies dependent equipment with enough power to shut everything down properly. The compact size is great for any space. The extra power hook ups at the front of the unit for phones and other small electronics is such a great feature. The unit is very quiet. The screen brightness is just right.

Es el quinto que compro para casa y exceptuando el anterior que compré no me han decepcionado, al anterior no le duraron los tres años las baterÃas por un par de meses mientras que todos los demás siguen funcionando.Tuve uno de 350VA otro de 550VA hace años, posteriormente compré uno de 1350VA en 2020 que aún está en funcionamiento, en 2021 se compraron 3 de 1500VA, dos para un hijo y uno para mi, es este último (CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD) al que le fallaron las baterÃas a dos meses de cumplir los tres años (las cambiaré para utilizar en otro lado).Espero que haya sido la unidad ya que hasta la fecha tengo buena opinión de la marca.

El producto llegó a tiempo y correctamente empaquetado, sin embargo no prende de ninguna forma. Espero al menos me lo cambien por uno que funcione.

Es un buen producto, claro hay que saber comprar estos aparatos, este CyberPower CP1000AVRLCD por ejemplo es de onda simulada, es decir en un osciloscopio verÃas la onda escalonada, esto no es recomendable para algunas computadoras con fuentes de poder especializadas que requieren onda sinusoidal suave (ondas, con valles y crestas totalmente suaves y degradados, como las que salen de un generador por inducción).Lo compré para proteger un televisor 55″ de 135W y un home teather HK de 150W (con unos periféricos que no suman más de 50W en total), por lo que mi consumo máximo será de 335W y quizá agregue un pequeño subwoofer para home teather de 100W (este no break soporta hasta 600W), asà que estoy sobrado y quizá me dé unos 20 minutos de respaldo. Esporádicamente conectaré también una notebook de 35W de consumo, que no es demasiado.Es fácil de configurar y para la mayorÃa de los casos es suficiente con los arreglos que trae de default, la opción de proteger el cable (o la HDTV-TDT) es un gran plus, y también la protección de red es otro buen plus (recomiendo usar sólo cables de red STP de clase 6 a 8, para la mayorÃa de los casos es suficiente un STP 6A de cobre puro OFC ~AWG 26 a 23~, que sin problemas maneja redes GB ~hasta 10 si la memoria no me falla~, y frecuencias de hasta 550MHz), no recomiendo loa cables UTP pues pueden recibir algo de interferencia y más en estos tiempos donde estamos invadidos por tantas ondas electromagnéticas que pueden generar interferencias o micro corrientes parásitas.El problema que le veo es el software, no es muy difÃcil pero no es para usuarios principiantes, en mi caso no lo usaré pues la notebook no estará conectada permanentemente, pero es un punto a considerar para quienes usarán esto por ejemplo en un servidor personal que piensen montar por su cuenta.Espero sea duradero y más por su garantÃa de 3 años, ojalá no tenga problemas al registrarlo pues el recibo de Amazon no es factura, pero no creo que haya problemas, pues desde la página de cyberpower te redirige a Amazon como una de las opciones de compra en lÃnea.Es de notar que los contactos que dicen que sólo dan protección contra picos (está dividido en contactos con protección y baterÃa y sólo con protección de picos), mantienen la alimentación de corriente aunque el no break esté apagado, ahà pueden conectarse por ejemplo aparatos como el echo dot, Roku, Fire, smart hub y algunos periféricos que no requieran suministro continuo de energÃa durante los apagones y fallos de red eléctrica, pero sà requieran energÃa de la red eléctrica 24/7.En cuanto a estética es muy austero, no parece de calidad pero funciona perfectamente y sólo tiene 3 botones al frente, el LCD se lee claramente y es blanco; sin dudas en un tiempo compraré uno de estos para cada televisor de casa.

I bought one of these in 2017. They have a usage time limit due to the battery, but it is now near end of 2024 that I had to replace mine as it would simply shut off at any short power outage of a fraction of a second. It saved my PC many many times from power surge and was able to save work I would have otherwise lost when power would go down for a longer period of time. I’d rather spend around $250CAD for this, which last many years, over risking having to rebuild my PC or having to replace anything a power surge might destroy and have time to save anything I’m working on when power goes out. It’s also a good power bank to recharge many small devices.
