I just found a very unfortunate drawback to cyberpower after buying the 1500 series. The unit cannot be turned on unless it is fully charged. I use my UPSes a lot during power outages... I have a few and usually turn them off when the power goes out, then turn them on as needed. You cannot do that with Cyberpower. I turned my 1500 off 2 mins after the power went out and now its useless until the power comes back on. Such a stupid feature. They do this, instead of making an easy battery disconnect, so they can safely ship. This was my first cyberpower and will be my last. They probably saved $1 per unit by doing this... sooo foolish.
For what it's worth, I used to sell these and while CyberPower is the value brand, there were significantly more complaints and exchanges on CyberPower vs APC.

Personally I've had every (5+) CyberPower battery fail after 3.5-4 years whereas some APC units are running 5+ years. Note the life of a battery is 3 years but personally and professionally I find better value on APC in the long run.

Guys, this is protecting your $1000+ electronic; what's an extra $20?
I wouldn't purchase this UPS. According to multiple Amazon reviews and APC forums, the unit has a high faulty rate of F02 errors and smoke arising from it after a few weeks. Dangerous. Better safe than sorry imo.

Good price if for true sine wave. However, this has been sold out hours before this post at least in my area. I got the simulated sine wave one from CyperPower last week for 10% less, but they shipped me an used one in a beaten box. just returned it a couple days ago and get the 1350VA one at Costco for $99 instead.

Its a battery backup, so if you lose electricity in your home, anything plugged in to this will stay one for a few more minutes until you can save your stuff snd shut down properly

Bought this for my living room to power my TV/AV/Xbox setup. Saves me from lights flicking during a storm, and enough time for me to finish a game or show to shut them down. I've been waiting for another sale to buy one for my pc.

I've seen these a ton but I'm not sure how they work. Is this just for charging things?

Personally, in my consulting work, I've had no problem with APS. But CyberPower is my go-to because of the value.

This is a great deal for a sine wave unit. In for one.

Seems like a good deal. Can't find any reason why this is worse then the competing cyberpower model, other then general anecdotal stories. (Which May or May not be applicable to this specific model)
Thanks op!
