UPDATE ******
We did call the company and they made it good and sent us a new one and it is working good. That one must of just been a defect. So I have changed my review to 4 stars
I've had it in operation for about two weeks and no problems there. However, the data protection feature - where you can feed thru an RJ-11 telephone or RJ-45 ethernet line for surge protection - seems poorly implemented.
When I installed the unit, I connected ethernet cables carrying 100baseT thru the data protection ports. Result: no connection. After trying a couple of different patch cords, I connected an ethernet cable tester to check continuity and found that the IN-OUT ports map 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-5, 5-4 and 6 thru 8 no connection.
To give Tripp-Lite some credit, the ad for the unit specifies that it will protect telephone and 10baseT service.
10baseT is defined as using a single twisted pair. Presumably, if that pair were connected via pins 1 thru 3, it would pass data. So T-L's claim that it will protect a 10baseT data connection - narrowly defined - is true. But it's an air gap for fast or gigabyte ethernet. Useless! And who the heck uses 10baseT anymore?
I emailed Tripp-Lite tech support about a week ago asking if this odd pinout for the data protection port was intentional or accidental, but I have not heard back.
I'll stay with four stars overall because the unit is otherwise working well and the loss of use of the data protection feature, while disappointing, is not a big issue for me.
Everyone followed our instructions to put all elecronics up on their desks and have none of them on the floor... but not everyone unplugged them.
When the building flooded, every computer behind a Tripp-lite UPS \ Surge supressor was undamaged.
The devices completely died, some with major electrical damage, but they did so in a manner where that surge was not passed on to the devices. I've heard time and time again how they honor their lifetime warranty, replacing any failed device you send them pictures of... but honestly, if it dies protecting my stuff, I feel they deserve more business and I'll happily buy replacements.
I have never lost any electronics behind a Tripp-lite. So when it came time to get some UPS units for my personal computers at home, I picked up these. I was very thrilled to see that without even loading software, I could plug in my desktops to the UPS with USB and it immediately told me the state of the battery as though I had a laptop. I could even set windows power management to do shut downs depending on battery percentage (just like a laptop). Again, this is all without power management software.
The price is excellent for what you pay for and I sleep better during storms knowing my equipment is protected.
There may have been an issue with the battery or something took out the battery charging capabilities, as the battery side of the unit failed right after a big storm took out our power. My other Tripp Lite devices, including one just like this one, had no issues are were on the same circuit.
Kudos to Amazon for taking care of the problem with a quick resolution.
Giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to the failure, but I would not have any issues purchasing another of this model in the future (provided it's replacement does not also fail!)
This backup unit is pretty heavy and large. I was planning to put it behind my two-drawer credenza, but it was just too wide and thick. Instead, I have it sitting on the floor just to the side of the credenza where it operates quietly (no buzzing at all). In all, I'm very happy with my purchase and hope it will power my devices long enough to last through future short power outages.
Update (12/11/2021): I've owned this UPS for over a year now and it's been working perfectly. It lays quietly on my office floor next to my credenza and powers my WiFi router, Cable Modem, and Hubitat Hub. I've had a few power outages and it worked great, keeping my devices powered up for about 2 hours before shutting down. No issues what so ever. I'm glad I made this purchase.

Started having issue less then a month in.
The unit start beeping for no reason. Need to remove the battery every time.
I have less than 100w total plugged on the battery side.
Talked to Amazon and got the issue fixed but the problem reoccurred a month later.
Ask Amazon, and they told me to contact the manufacturer.
Been sending emails for more than 6 months now (4 Emails Total)
Not a single answer from the manufacturer.
I would look somewhere else if you care about quality and consumer support.
I bought two of the AVR900u. Everything was great until the first power outage occurred, shortly after the Amazon return window ended, and the units' would not charge back up after power was restored.
Troubleshooting this I noticed that both units were mislabeled as AVR750u's and a small bit of solder fell out of one unit when it was turned over. Talk about bad quality control...
Eaton says they will replace the units, in February 2022, 4 months or so after I bought them, because they have a global shipping crisis. So basically, there's no reasonable warranty on these, you're going to have to wait for months if your unit doesn't work!
Test your unit with a power outage right away so you don't get messed over like me.
