1.0 out of 5 stars Disasterous, August 15, 2006

This review is from: Monster Cable HTUPS 500 2-Outlet UPS (Electronics)

I bought an early unit; I really needed this product for my Sony LCD projector, but the unit failed to operate correctly. Without warning it shut down completely TWICE, even though, in both times, the power was still on and the projector was rated well within the capacity of the UPS. I had to unplug the UPS for ten minutes to reset it; meanwhile, the bulb is hot and I have to plug in the projector manually back into the wall outlet and turn the projector back on so the cooling fan returns. Emails to Monster Cable went unanswered.

I see now that Monster has a revised set of instructions for training the unit. I still need a unit to perform the functions listed here, but it could cost the price of a bulb to find out if it works.

300 bucks I paid for this and it lasted me only 2 years and then died. Is it worth it? What's a new bulb worth should the power go out and the bulb wear out faster than usual? Not as much as buying two of these units! I won't buy Monster again.
