74% appreciated the control features
I found that PowerPanel Personal from the CyberPower website handles the UPS just fine.
The UPS provides consistent power backup during outages and voltage fluctuations. It has kept my computer and modem running smoothly during several short power cuts, giving me enough time to save my work and shut down properly.
UPS units are perfect for keeping my PC, router, modem, and land-line phone up and running without interruption during power hiccups, brownouts, or loss of power.
89% liked the durable construction
I purchased the UPS because it carried the router for over 4 hours until power was restored.
I am satisfied with the unit as it is good for momentary or short term power failures.
It is a solid investment for anyone looking to protect their electronics.
84% liked the compatibility with multiple devices, but 16% had issues
During outages, my devices are flawlessly handled by the 400VA capacity of the UPS, which also provides surge protection.
This type of UPS is not compatible with Energy Star rated Active PFC type of computer power supplies like found in many or most modern computers, which can crash instead of continuing operation on this type Simulated Sine Wave UPS.
During thunderstorms, the relays clicked without a noticeable flicker of the main house lights, indicating that the UPS is sensitive to even mild voltage fluctuations and drop-outs.
83% praised the high power capacity, while 17% found it insufficient
I tested the UPS again and got just shy of 60 minutes backup power. My cable modem uses anywhere from 6 to 11 watts of power and the router uses 20 watts at most.
The power capacity of our UPS is limited and may not be sufficient for high-power devices or larger configurations. It is suitable for basic setups.
85% appreciated the response time, while 15% experienced a delay
When power interruptions flicker lights and reset TVs, the unit turns on, preventing a long router reboot.
The UPS stopped working before I could give the shutdown command, probably in less than ten seconds.
77% found it whisper-quiet, while 23% thought it was loud
During two brief outages, the UPS did what it was supposed to do.
I tried muffling the sound but it did not work and the beeping was audible from several rooms over.
The UPS is functional but extremely loud.
