I got one and it works fine. Not a sine wave output but fine for consumer electronics. Battery replaceable. Not tested AVR but does make an audible buzz when on battery. Alarm can be silenced in software or button (on demand or generally).
One thing to consider is that this has a very low power factor (0.54), which means that you can run a lot of smaller devices for a long time but you cannot really plug in something too high powered like a server or gaming PC or even 2 of the newer gen game systems actually gaming at the same time.
But for this price (especially on sale), that's not bad. Plus I called call Costco and asked about how the warranty is handled it is through Costco so if it blows in less than 3 years, you can exchange it at Costco and don't have to deal with shipping the unit back to CyberPower.
I stand corrected. I went to the product page to learn about it and look for reviews but ignored Best Buy. That said, I typically do not look at Best Buy reviews because you get stuff like this:
"It's nice and heavy and seems very well-made." Yeah, a lead battery inside, thanks.
Still weird that a search of the predominant platforms for buying and reviewing don't have a single hit on "CyberPower LE850G review". In any case, given that MSRP is $65, a $60 deal is not too "Slick" (no offense meant OP). The free shipping is a bonus though so credit for that.
The product comes with a 3 year warranty, plus you could theoretically return the item to Costco at any point in the future, because, as far as I'm aware, it's not one of the excluded electronics items, like a TV, computer, major appliance, etc.
Since when are TVs excluded from the visa extended warranty?
I bought this same model from Costco back in December for about $65. It has been great so far. I have a similar size APC one that I also have had no issues with, but I like the Cyberpower software much better than the APC software.
Thanks for posting OP - picking up another for a friend!

Comment was talking about how TVs and some electronics are excluded from Costco's generous 'return anytime' policy, but this item might not trigger this return policy limitation.
In the past, you were able to return anything to Costco no matter how long ago you purchased the item, including big-ticket electronics like TVs, monitors, computers, laptops, etc. However, people abused the hell out of that (for example: they would buy TVs then return them a year or two later and then used that returned money to buy the latest model of that TV), so Costco removed those electronics from their return policy. Presently, you can still return all other Costco purchases at any time, but returns of TVs and some specific electronics types are now limited to 90 days after purchase.
The original post you replied to might've been inadvertently ambiguous about warranty/return policy because of the run-on sentence.

This is correct. People would buy PCs and then return them after a year or two and buy the latest and greatest with the same money. I've seen it first-hand because my dad did it. I didn't follow in his legacy.
I appreciated the policy the one time I used it in the last 20 years. Bought an office chair where the seat cushion wore out in under a year and they took it assembled and without a box with no questions asked. They possibly might have been told it was garbage ahead of time and just accept returns.

These are great lasted about two years but watch the warranty. Mine DIED two days after it expired and I was sol!! Use really good surge protectors now and lucky no issues.
Lasting two years is "great"? Those are some incredibly low expectations
I need one of these for my modem and separate r7000 nighthawk wireless router, I'm torn because some ups unit reviews state the upc shuts off because power draw is too low and doesn't sense power. Also some ups instructions on Amazon are compatible with some modems and routers. Googling the issue has some article on checking your power draw on the plugs and backs of the modem and making sure they are compatible with the minimum power or somethjng…..Seemed a bit confusing as I don't understand dc to ac and such, I just need my equipment protected and my cameras to to work.
A lot of UPS systems out there have at least some reviews of fire, burning up, sparking. It's only few out of the bunch of random units I've looked. I always click on the negative reviews to see if people's complaints about a product add up. One fire review or picture is enough to ruin any good review for me.

Using two of these for stonks. My cable modem, router, PC, monitors can never be out even if there's a rolling blackout.
