Easy to setup. I like the utility computer software and the display. I also like the reasonably tiny footprint - saves on floor space. I also like the longevity of battery power provide...if it really performs out to 90 minutes :). Properly, searching back at the documentation, it does say "the unit has four battery powered/surge protected outlets...". This actually didn't imply much to me till I lost power and my machine went down. Through some plug and play troubleshooting of the outlets, I realized a single side offered energy with the unit unplugged, whilst the other side didn't. I known as tech help and they place it all collectively for me. So, for the other tech dummies out there: all 8 outlets give surge protection, but only four provide battery backup. Make sure your mission crucial components, i.e., computer, monitor (speakers?, yeah, have to have tune) are plugged in on the side marked Battery + Surge. I haven't run into the dilemma re: the kind of energy provide for the laptop or computer noted elsewhere.....however. And I have a new HP Pavilion. Hope this helps. It took me 2 tech help calls to solve the issue. The initially one particular said I need to unplug it, then add an item, then one more a single, then an additional one. He didn't say anything about paying consideration to the different plug-in sides. That could have saved me from pulling my U workstation out from the wall, which is a monumental activity, to reach the plug to run the unplug/power test. Possibly this need to be place on the top rated of their tech assistance checklist. Manufacturer Response:Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback relating to the CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD. Acquiring Battery + Surge and Surge only outlets are a UPS industry regular for tower and compact UPS models. The reason for this set up is to enable stop overloading the UPS, whilst also offering surge protection for non-important equipment such as a lamp. The outlets are labeled. Normally we do ask if your important equipment is plugged into the Battery + Surge outlets. Sorry about the confusion.

Overall this UPS does what it is supposed to do. For some reason we have a lot of power outages at our new house. The interface is very user friendly and easy to set up. If you want to protect your hardware this is definitely a good investment. Just wish the battery lasted a bit longer when the computer is actually in use.

-Works as intended-Nice tiny size-Effortless to read LED screen-Plenty of outlets on rear of device -Heavy! (what do you count on?) When I opened this up, I instantly took it to my desk and plugged all my devices and pc into it. Fired it up, loaded into Windows and beginning playing a game...then pulled the plug out of the wall and was really pleased to see my machine still running without a hiccup.

This UPS holds it's energy under load on battery - this was my second one ordered from NewEgg. This UPS is a wonderful value! Mine also arrived in the original box that was damaged. It was not packaged as new and was missing one of the factory foam supports so it flopped about in the box through shipping. As I have read in other comments, Newegg responded with a quick RMA and has sent me a replacement. This is the purpose it is marked down by a single egg. Based on what I am reading there seems to be a warehouse/shipping issue with this item. This is my initially less than outstanding practical experience with newegg so I anticipate they will remedy this ASAP.

Wonderful product, now that I know how to use it. I purchased my 3rd a single not too long ago and was SHOCKED to see it had been shipped in only the retail box. It was battered and torn on the ends, but then taped up to keep it a single piece. When I opend the box, the protective styro was broken in half and demolished on the finish they had to tape up. Come on New Egg! This package never ever ought to have left your docks. If I ever acquire yet another package like this from you, it will be my last order.

While the units, if you receive them in good working order, are good, I could never bring myself to trust them. They were shipped in flimsy cardboard boxes, without so much as styrofoam padding inside. As a result, one of the two units we received was broken, and the other likely got banged around similarly, and therefore can't be trusted.RMA'd the broken one, only to receive a replacement unit shipped the very same way. I'd never gotten such shoddy shipments from NCIX before, and would never buy a UPS from them again.

Very good UPS; lot of watts

Comment:
With two servers running we have to maintain online 24ǝ we have by no means been down due to the fact of power. We did discover a circuit with a loose ground thanks to the UPS. The computer systems were by no means at risk thanks to the added security. It has plenty adequate power to supply the 2 servers and safeguard my Quad core 6 / 19 inch Hanns Monitors and 3 XFX Dual head Video Cards. The price is cheaper now. Can't acquire 1 in a retailer in Ringgold Georgia.Of program my method has to be off if power is lost but the servers often continue to run. This is our fifth CyberPower bought from Newegg ( presents ) with the value and security no other unit even comes close. We develop our systems and obtain only good quality parts continually searching for reliability so we have to demand very first class protection and CyberPower has by no means failed us.

Comment:
That's an excellent UPS for the price. It is sitting next to my APC and for now I don't see the reason to pay more for another APC when this unit is doing a good job.

Comment:
Tiny size and comparatively light weight. Comes with USB connection and monitoring SW. I purchased this unit to replace my rack-mountable CPS1500AVR which has served me well for nearly 10years. I purchased it simply because it was smaller sized and lighter. It turns out that smaller and lighter implies decrease high quality. The battery backed-up outlets did not work at all, only the surge protected outlets functioned. Terrible high quality control. Cyberpower like numerous other businesses are cutting fees with lowest-bidder Chinese producers. The outcome is DOA goods. RMA is going to expense me an arm and a leg due to shipping costs.

I certainly enjoy this UPS, I haven't had any difficulties.Anytime I have lights flicker in my home the UPS just keeps every little thing powered with a constant feed, when energy goes out this UPS keeps my OC'd i7 920 @ 4GHz + ATI 5870 system running for a fantastic 20 minutes or longer, definitely one particular of of the finest goods you can acquire specifically if you live in regions that have continuous intense climate such as hurricanes.The LCD display is good, feeds you all form of info.Did I mention that this UPS is a excellent worth compared to other competing products? Doesn't have enough juice to power a 47" Plasma plus a laptop or computer, but then once more this unit isn't at fault for that. Good design, feels solid and it's incredibly heavy.Amazing product overall, I'm in love.

Comment:
Works great and supplies all the relevant facts on a really cool LCD screen. None. Have purchased a half dozen of these with no problems!

Comment:
This UPS unit is amazingly small and at the very same time, extremely effective for its physical size...don't let that fool you! Certainly a single of the finest on computer UPS management status/control programs I've ever seen also! Only wish this unit had 6 as an alternative of four battery back-up outlets. Traded 4 APC's in a row that had a nasty "Load-Shedding" habit, and non functional management application. NOW I KNOW Better...Considerably Superior!

Comment:
LCD screen. The unit failed in less than 1 month. Tried to turn off and turn back on, but the screen would just flicker a handful of occasions, then shut down. Tried to turn on once more, flicker. Pressed the display button, and it would turn on, but turn off immediately after a couple of seconds. Requested RMA from Cyberpower and they want it shipped at my expense. I'm not certain if it's worth the shipping charges. I meant to RMA this unit with newegg when the problem occurred, but I was becoming lazy at the time. I had a Tripp Lite UPS that failed right after two.five years, and their help shipped me a new replacement right after a handful of minutes on the telephone troubleshooting the UPS. They didn't even ask me to ship the poor 1 back to them. I purchased the Cyberpower UPS due to the fact it was about ฤ less than the Tripp Lite, and also it had a lot of good critiques. I would pay a little far more next time and get the Tripp Lite for the exceptional assistance.

Some excellent information on the front display...which turns off after about a minute (or much less). Lets you know Hz, In/Out voltage, battery life (with estimation of time remaining), kw getting applied. Plugged USB cable straight into Win 7 and it was recognized as a battery...so no more software program was needed. None at this time

Comment:
I just received this UPS and have tried it out right now. I was concerned about it not getting compatable with my Thermaltake power supply with active PFC as some have reported.

Not broken. I haven't even utilised it but, but the packaging it came in was certainly horrible. You know how these items typically have these huge foam pads on each ends? Nicely this came with just 1 of them. So essentially it was rattling about in the box (talking about at least two-four inches of motion inside the box), and because the foam wasn't there to preserve the box in shape, the entire box itself was horribly deformed. When I saw the box I thought "who left this rubbish here?". Also, the cd that came (not that it's of any use in the first location) was shattered. Fortunately the unit itself looks fine and undamaged, but the packaging is definitely rubbish. I've bought a ton of stuff from new egg more than three-four years now, and the packaging has generally been decent, but this a single is just so horrible, I'm totally disgusted that they let it leave the warehouse in the initially location. This thing is heavy, and when they lifted it they knew the packaging was horrible, but they shipped it anyway.

it arrived really rapidly, cool style doesn't function with Rocketfish 700W PSU. total waste of a purchase, the laptop or computer shut off twice while hooked into the UPS, sending in for a refund.the model that does work with the Rocketfish 700W PSU is like 500$ ouch.......

Excellent backup time. I have a 24" Samsung T240HD, with a custom Thermaltake 800W PSU, and this UPS reports 30 min of uptime. I have not practical experience a power outage of additional than 1 min nevertheless, but the UPS recharges swiftly, and the energy regulation is also a wonderful feature (I have not had the voltage switch to a level exactly where this has kicked in but, but It's a function I seriously like). None, so far. The weight and bulk are a tiny distracting, but the unit sits behind my Klipsch subwoofer, and it's not also distracting there. the blue light is a small bright at night. The LCD shuts off automatically, but the power light doesn't seem to go out. I have not situated a way to turn this off, but I do not know that is is impossible.

Comment:
Great UPS. Has done every thing is has suppose to so far. A few energy flickers for the duration of a storm, no dilemma. My degree of comfort is high and the lower pricing in comparison to TrippLite or APC makes this a better value. Don't be afraid to acquire this UPS. Packaging was terrible. Box arrived absolutely destroyed and taped back with each other (assume by shipper). (That is NewEgg's fault so I will not take points away from the UPS, NewEgg knows better than to ship a UPS in standard retail boxes... shame shame on NewEgg). In spite of that the Power Provide fired up correct away without having problems and will be 2 months old fairly soon. Am taking into consideration acquiring a 2nd one particular for my new 52" Sony XBR9. Nonetheless I have not created up my thoughts if I will acquire it from NewEgg. Really did not appreciate the way it was packed.

Comment:
The poster who stated this unit does not operate with Active PFC PSUs is incorrect. I have used this unit for two months with out challenge with the greatest PSU on the marketplace, a SeaSonic X750 80 Plus Gold 750w (which is as high priced as this UPS is). Prior to that, for 2 months I employed it with a SeaSonic M12-700 which also has an active PFC. Only one button on the unit, and the software is fairly bare bones, but everything you want to read is on the unit itself (load, input voltage, output voltage, etc). Doesn't retain track of total output, which would be nice. Some say CyberPower is not as fantastic as APC, but I believe it is a combination of them not becoming as greedy and not getting a "name tax" (like the Apple Tax or Nike Tax), and good discounts from MSRP from Newegg.

LCD readout is great. I am using 3 to service my numerous hardware with adequate capacity, so each and every one particular has lots of runtime potential. Reasonable price tag per capacity. "personal edition" monitor software is lame. CP's "Business Edition" does not operate with this model, confirm by CP assistance as nicely as initial trial. Wish it had lengthy display time for LCD, but general, it has been performing what it is supposed to even though the bells and whistles are a small dispointing. I haven't really tested it with a decent power outage, even though. Manufacturer Response:Thank you for purchasing CyberPower’s CP1500AVRLCD. I’m sorry you had difficulties with the software.

Very good industrial design, Prominent LCD display, Uncomplicated installation LCD display has no setting to override "sleep" mode so user has to manually access the unit & press a button to see % load and input voltage. Frequent "loss of commercial energy" warnings from attached Pc that other systems on other UPSs aren't reporting (uncertain if its tollerances for setting the "on battery bit" are tighter than the other brands in use at the same place.

Comment:
Stable, USB connection to send status. Their internet site has the linux software along with all the other individuals. Regulates power as nicely as just a backup. LCD screen is awesome, but I don't seriously use it a lot. Has connectors for coax and phone as well. I wish it had much more than 1 USB port for a number of machines. Also, it went on sale just right after I bought my 2nd 1. I purchased a single of these more than a year ago and like it. I purchased a different for a customer last month. I wrote my personal script to send emails to my consumer and myself for low energy, no energy circumstances. I use mine for two servers (no monitor), my router and modem.

Comment:
3 out of the 4 ordered worked. 1 out of the four didn't work. Shipping it back to NewEgg put me back ิ. Not significantly of a deal if you get a DOA unit. I have purchased many APC units in the past 18 years and never ever a DOA. Would extremely look at APC in the future.
