    Works good, Nice display, Good size, looks sharp, HEAVY, Software BUGGY
    UPDATE 1/6/2018I've posted more photos of the software bug. It continues to drive me crazy several times a day with popups and dings and dongs... The unit it's self seems to still be working fine tho. I'm loving everything but the bugware.============================ORIGINAL POST:OK I've had my UPS (1500 Model) for about a month now. I'm 95% happy. Knock off 5% for annoying software alerts.When I first received the UPS unit, it arrived in perfect condition and was brand new.First thing I did was plug it in. The battery was around 88% so I let it charge. In just a few minutes, it had reached 100%. It started out pulling 18.2 watts with 88% charge on the battery. By the time it got to 93% charge, it was pulling 15 watts. As the battery gets closer to full charge, the less current it pulls to do so.NOTE: Just because the unit says 100% charged, does NOT mean it is topped off. In fact, it will still continue to charge for HOURS later. More on that later...------After I saw 100% I took a lamp with a 3/way bulb in it which was 50w/100w/150w. I set the lamp on the 150 watt and plugged it into my (Kill-A-Watt) current tester. The lamp was pulling 148 watts plugged in using the 150w setting.I then plugged the 150w lamp into the UPS alone, and unplugged the UPS. The lamp did not blink.DRAW-DOWN RESULTS:---0 minutes runtime = DISPLAY=53 mins left, battery 100% remaining3 minutes runtime = DISPLAY=32 mins left, battery 62% remaining9m 45s runtime = DISPLAY= battery 50% remaining21m 30s runtime = DISPLAY= battery 25% remaining25m 25s runtime = DISPLAY= battery 15% remaining27m 08s runtime = DISPLAY= battery 10% remainingUnit turned off right after it hit 10%. I turned it back on and it ran for about 1 more minute and went to 0 (ZERO) batter remaining.You can expect to go from 100% charge to shutdown in 27 minutes pulling 148 watts with the display on. This this is with a NEW set of batteries. In my experience, this time will shorten as the batteries age.CHARGE-UP RESULTS:---I removed the lamp from the UPS unit and plugged it in with nothing hooked to it.The unit is pulling 18.3 watts with completely dead batteries. This is the maximum it will ever pull. I would call it 18 watts.Reached 15% charge = withing secondsReached 19% charge = 18 minutes pulling 17 watts to do soReached 20% charge = 21m 40s pulling 17 watts to do soReached 30% charge = 1hr 11m pulling 17 watts to do soReached 35% charge = 1hr 32m pulling 17 watts to do soReached 40% charge = 1hr 55m pulling 17 watts to do soReached 70% charge = 4hr 15m pulling 17 watts to do soReached 75% charge = 4hr 42m pulling 17 watts to do soReached 80% charge = 5.0hrs pulling 17 watts to do soReached 100% charge = 6hr 29m pulling 17 watts to do soThis reached 100% about uhhhh 8:pm.Although 100% charged, the UPS unit continued to pull the higher voltage from the wall. The voltage draw continued to fall as the HOURS passed by. I let the UPS unit stay plugged in until I saw that the voltage draw either shut off or leveled out somewhere. I finally gave up watching this slow voltage drop-off and went to bed around 2:00am, about 6 hours after 100% was reached. The next morning I woke up and saw that the UPS unit was only pulling 7.0 watts. I continued to watch the voltage draw a few more hours and it never changed. The unit pulls 7.0 watts continuously. This is with the LCD on. I never turned the LCD off to see if the voltage went to zero but I doubt if the LCD pulls 7 watts. I am assuming from my testing here that the unit till trickle 7 watts of current always with the LCD on. You can expect at least this much once you have it hooked up and it's "FULLY" charged.THE SOFTWARE:---(PowerPanel Personal)The software instilled on Windows 10 PRO easily and as expected with no errors.*The software the remaining percentage of batter (i.e. 100%)*Remaining runtime (i.e. 22 minutes) for me and my computer & 3 monitors usually are pulling around 300w*UPS Load. Right now my load says 279 watts typing this up and listening to tv stream in background, 1x 32", 2x 24" monitors. Intel i7 6 core. 3 browsers open and about 30 tabs, outlook, Visual Studio and the UPS software running.*Output voltage (i.e current coming from the wall to the UPS 120v)*Another page shows a short history of blackouts and brownouts. *(I see none on mine)*setup email alerts. Cannot setup text alerts. However the alert can go to your gmail and your phone will alert you.*You can select from two options of what happens if power goes out.--- Shut down computer when remaining runtime left is: 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 minutes--- Shut down after running on battery after 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 minutes*Adjust when the UPS kicks in; (i.e. if voltage goes below 100v, when AC voltage goes above 139v) You can set these parameters. I left them at the defaults show above.*You can set the sensitivity (i.e. Low, Medium, High) I left this at the default of Medium.*You can select the type pf shutdown. (i.e. Shutdown, Hibernate) I left this to the default of Shutdown.You do not need the software for the UPS to function as you would expect a UPS to function. I installed the software.The software is BUGGY on my Windows 10 PRO. The only bug I can report is very annoying. Throughout the day an startling and annoying Windows ALERT will popup in the bottom right of the screen and in the Windows notification area telling you that the UPS has lost connection with the UPS. In less than 5 seconds another startling and annoying Windows ALERT will popup in the bottom right of the screen and in the Windows notification area telling you that the UPS has reestablished connection and everything is alright. This happens all the time every day. I hate it. I doubt any connection is ever really lost here, who knows as there is no evidence of it. I will probably end up uninstalling the software as it the negatives outweigh the positives for me personally.I never open the software anymore to check on any of those features I've mentioned above. Once you've learned about the current you use and about how much time you have after a power failure, there really isn't anything else you need to know.If you don't install the software, the default settings is, on power outage it runs the outlets until the unit gets down to 10% then abruptly dies.I have been searching for opinions on these popup alerts and they seem to have been happening for many years so I wouldn't expect a software update fix anytime soon if ever.I have provided PHOTOS of these errors.There is a MANUAL Mute button on the front of the unit. Don't let anyone tell you there isn't. It works but I like to be alerted. Who wouldn't?I do think this UPS is well worth its price. I got it on sale during Black Friday.I hope this review has helped you.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2009
    I've only tested this in an "artificial" scenario, i.e., pulling the plug from the wall after having it charged. Well, it did fine there (as well as with the "self-test" available via the software config). Make sure to download the new software from the Cyberpower website for the latest version. I'm using it on Windows 7 64 bit, and it performs flawlessly. Low resources, and stable. Impressive.

    At any rate, I really enjoy the readout from the front. Voltage In, Voltage Out, Power frequency, instantaneous power consumption (in kW), and load and battery capacity as well as estimated runtime are available from the front display. After a period of inactivity, the screen will turn off to avoid needless power consumption. A simple button press will bring it back.

    As I stated earlier, I haven't had to test its actual capabilities yet (probably better this way, ha). But living in Florida, that's expected as long as it's not the summer - which is when most of our power events occur. Whether it's a lightning storm, or peak load on the grid during a hot summer afternoon when ACs are on full blast, various conditions can create short power outages, or more likely, severe brownouts. I've lost a router this way. However, I feel more confident with this UPS. I wish it would boost and buck at narrower ranges (the low limit is 90Vac and high limit is 140Vac before it bucks/boosts by switching to the battery), to keep it more in line with the 120Vac +/- 5% optimal range. But that's ok.

    This UPS will be tested in real world conditions, but it'll have to wait until the next Florida summer. I figured I'd buy it now while it's cheaper!

    The thing that impressed me the most was it's capacity. I appear to have way overestimated my needs! ha. According to the software, with my computer, 22" LCD monitor, Klipsch 2.1 speakers, and my Linksys WRT54GL router plugged in, I have about 38 minutes of runtime. Load is only around 13% or so. I wish it came with more battery backup outlets, but it is ok for my needs. If I need to, I can simply put in a splitter to gain a few extra outlets. (Note: if you do this, make sure to not exceed the total capacity of the UPS, or to overload the one outlet - it can only handle so many amps... use the split with lower-drain devices like modems and routers; in addition, use a regular power splitter, not one with a surge protector built in. It isn't recommended to daisy chain surge protectors due to possible harmonic effects between them during a power event). Also, be sure to heed the warning in the instructions: do not connect a laser printer due to its high transient current draws. I have a Brother laser printer that I have connected to my non-UPS surge protector (the one I used before I bought this UPS).

    My only complaint is that whether by UPS' handling, or maybe handling somewhere earlier in the chain, a corner of the UPS had cracked and bent. It was disappointing, but the unit itself still worked, and it wasn't a hazard in any way. It's cosmetic damage, but I wish perhaps it was better packed, since throwing around this 30+ lb box as it was packed certainly will do some damage. I wish Amazon would have put some extra packing around the retail box; instead, they ship the retail box in a bigger cardboard box, and stuff some brown paper in. Some peanuts, bubble wrap, and/or air bags would have served the task far, far better here, especially for something so heavy. However, with the free super saver shipping, I suppose you get what you pay for. BUT - the UPS still works and with damage only on that back corner, so I won't complain too much.

    Anyway, if you're looking for a decent UPS at a great price point, I'd recommend this. Obviously, if you're looking for mission-critical or very high end (pure sine wave output type) UPSes, you will have to spend more. However, for the majority of home and small office users, something like this should be perfect.

    Update: 10/08/2012: It has saved me data loss multiple times. Everything from momentary outages to a 2 hour drop. Still works great. Feature I hadn't paid attention to earlier. It will tell you power use from the from panel. As it turns out, my computer (desktop), mouse, external hard disk, and the monitor use less power than a 100 watts.

    About a week and a half ago a lightning storm blew my power out about 3 times in a half hour period. I work from home doing software development and having my development system blow away is not good.

    I decided I was long overdue for power backup so I could at least shut down gracefully. I did the usual look up of UPS reviews on line, decided on a unit, and went to Amazon to buy one.

    I read the Amazon reviews for the unit I wanted and decided against it. Instead I bought the Cyberpower CP1500AVRLCD. It had more bang for the buck and only 4 out of scads of reviews were negative. One was about the industrial smell when it was unpacked and how it was sent back without even turning it on. I could live with industrial smell for a few days in exchange for peace of mind. I dropped the negatives to 3.

    (When I received the unit, the smell wasn't bad at all. The poor lady must have received her unit from a different Chinese factory than mine...)

    I ordered the unit and used the 5 - 7 day free shipping option. I received it on the 3rd day.

    I have hooked up my computer, the monitor, my wireless mouse, and a 2 terabyte backup USB drive to the UPS. Yesterday it paid off. Another lightning storm and my house was really slammed with short power outages. My system didn't even notice. I barely did. I did have WiFi drop, but I was busy writing code, so I didn't miss it. No worries about two hours of work in the bit bucket. No corrupted files. Since the outages were of short duration, I didn't even have to stop working. And the software estimated I had 43 minutes of power left when the power company came back to stay. It was great. I no longer flinch when I hear thunder in the distance.

    The Cyberpower sits next to my computer tower and quietly does its job. The hardware works as advertised.

    Another nice feature of the UPS is the software that accompanies the machine. I'm running Windows 7 Professional and the software works. It puts my system to sleep and wakes it up on schedule. It will turn off the machine if it's running off of the UPS and the batteries are about drained.

    It also displays the power utilization of the items plugged into it. I find that my computer, 23 inch monitor, mouse, and USB disk drive only use 100 watts of power. That's one light bulb. I no longer worry about power consumption while running disk compressions or other unattended tasks tasks over night. With the UPS, the computer will stay up and it doesn't really cost that much. (At pennies per kilowatt hour, 100 watts 24/7 isn't even noticeable on my electric bill. Now if I could only do something about Texas and air conditioning requirements...)

    I can't believe that I waited so long to buy a UPS. In three months I'll spend more on ink than I did on this machine. As far as I'm concerned, it paid for itself yesterday.

    I like it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Confiable y Potente

    El No-break CP1500AVRLCD ha demostrado ser una solución confiable y robusta para la gestión de energía, proporcionando una capa adicional de protección para mis dispositivos electrónicos esenciales. Este equipo ha superado mis expectativas en términos de rendimiento y funcionalidad.

    Lo más destacado de este no-break es su capacidad para ofrecer una protección excepcional contra fluctuaciones de voltaje y cortes de energía. La tecnología AVR (Regulación Automática de Voltaje) asegura que la electricidad suministrada a mis dispositivos permanezca dentro de límites seguros, lo que es crucial para la integridad de equipos sensibles como computadoras y electrodomésticos.

    La capacidad de respaldo de batería es otro aspecto impresionante. En caso de un apagón, este no-break proporciona tiempo suficiente para realizar un cierre ordenado de mis dispositivos, evitando pérdidas de datos y daños potenciales. La pantalla LCD informativa en el panel frontal ofrece detalles claros sobre el estado de la batería y el consumo de energía, lo que facilita el monitoreo continuo.

    El diseño compacto y elegante del no-break lo hace fácilmente integrable en cualquier entorno de trabajo u hogar. Las tomas de corriente con respaldo de batería y las tomas solo de supresión de sobretensión proporcionan flexibilidad para conectar una variedad de dispositivos, adaptándose a las necesidades individuales.

    La instalación y configuración del CP1500AVRLCD son sencillas. Además, la alarma audible notifica de manera eficaz sobre eventos críticos, como la activación del respaldo de batería.

    Lo tengo para un monitor de 26 pulgadas y una computadora gamer con una RTX4080, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D y Fuente de Poder Aorus P850W 80 Plus.

    En resumen, el No-break CyberPower es una inversión sólida para aquellos que buscan un sistema de respaldo de energía confiable y potente. Su rendimiento consistente y características avanzadas hacen de este no-break una elección destacada para la protección de dispositivos electrónicos valiosos.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Una excelente opción para salvaguardar tus equipos.
    Reviewed in Mexico on November 7, 2021
    El producto viene embalado correctamente, no hubo ningún problema en la paquetería.

    El UPS es relativamente pequeño y fácil de acomodar. Los acabados se sienten de calidad y obviamente es un artículo pesado.

    La interfaz de usuario es adecuada, y presta funciones que perfilan un mejor uso del producto, yo personalmente no les he sacado todo el provecho posible. En la parte posterior vienen los contactos necesarios para tus equipos y también es fácil identificar cuales tendrán el suministro de energía en caso de un corte de electricidad.

    Lo más importante, el aparato desempeña perfectamente sus funciones, he tenido varios apagones en casa y me ha salvado, dándome los minutos necesarios para guardar mis archivos y apagar mi PC y monitor. Como dato, tengo una PC con un consumo aproximado de 650 watts, además de un monitor de 27", módem de internet y periféricos, entonces, la autonomía que me da el UPS cuando hay un corte eléctrico es de 45 minutos en promedio (considerando que la pc no está realizando alguna tarea pesada, de ser así, disminuirá el tiempo drásticamente), después de apagar todo menos el módem, el tiempo se eleva a 440 minutos, suficiente para tener internet en tu casa un buen rato en lo que regresa la electricidad.

    En términos de uso, es un aparato que cumple lo que promete, protege los equipos que le enchufes y viene con un manual claro para entender todas sus funciones y adecuaciones de uso. Nunca olvides conectar el producto a un enchufe que esté correctamente aterrizado (tierra física), de lo contrario, se encenderá un led rojo en la parte posterior del UPS indicando una deficiencia eléctrica y entonces no entrará el suministro de energía cuando haya un apagón y tampoco protegerá con éxito los aparatos conectados a él, todo esto viene aclarado en el instructivo.

    NOTA**. Cuando hay un corte de electricidad, el UPS notifica de inmediato con un sonido fuerte, agudo y molesto ya que se repite cada ciertos segundos hasta que regrese la electricidad; este sonido se puede desactivar desde el menú del UPS, esto porque he leído varias reseñas donde se menciona que no se puede desactivar. Siempre sigue las instrucciones del producto para cualquier cosa, como el cambio de baterías.

    It has a smaller profile than I thought it would - very happy to not have it take up too much space under my desk.

    It is thoughtfully designed and has clearly benefited from undergoing many iterations. It has all the features you would expect of a pricier model (like the LCD panel) but it remains off by default.

    The back is well organized - for example having the USB and ethernet ports towards the top lends itself nicely to using shorter patch cables from an ethernet port to a PC without having to criss-cross cables down to the floor and back.

    It has good capacity. I've got two monitors, a beefy PC, a laptop and powered docking station all plugged into it, and provides 24 minutes of battery time - which is not only enough time to shut things down cleanly, but even to wait out a temporary outage and see if the power comes back without having to stop what you're doing. As far as cost for the capacity goes, the price war will wage on, but this is the best value device I could find at the time.

    The software (CyberPower PowerPanel Personal) appears to be of a good quality and even has a few advanced features that a you may have a use for, such as automatically powering off and on attached equipment on a schedule. You can also adjust how long it will run on battery before it automatically asks your computer to shut down. The software doesn't come with an install CD or anything - but it's easy enough to find online. I'll dock a point for "Easy to Install" for this one, since I've seen similar devices capable of launching an installer right when you plug them in as USB devices.

    Well made, no real complaints. Hopefully these attached pictures help you make a decision for yourself.
