The Costco model is a stripped down version of the Amazon one with a different model number! You can google to see the different specs on Cyberpower's website, but in a nutshell the Costco model:
- the regular price is the CyberPower SUGGESTED list price ... so Costco has not been selling this mdel at a discount. But now it is $30 off.
- The Costco model has 100 less watts of backup (1000 vs 900)
- The Costco model has a SMALLER BATTERY .... 12v 7Ah vs. 12v 9Ah ... hence the lower rating and runtime.
- The Costco model has 10 outlets as opposed to 12 outlets
- The Costco model has lower output on the USB charging ports
- The Costco model does not appear to have the color display, nor all the buttons
- The Costco model has a smaller input voltage spec
- The Costco model has a STRAIGHT power plug whereas the other has the nicer Right angle plug << Seems they both have right angle plugs per posts
- The Costco model has a lower Joule dissipation rating
There are quite a few more changes ... but I do believe that Costco used to sell the better version for a good price. I am not sure. Unfortunately I was waiting for the "better" version to come on sale. I will NOT be buying this stripped down version, but your own mileage may vary.

I was wondering what's been happening. I have two of these and they just started shutting down. The whole unit just dies and then of course my computer loses power.

Edit: Purchasing the CyberPower RB1280X2B UPS Replacement Battery Cartridge for model: CP1500PFCLCD on Amazon (Ships from Amazon.com Sold by Amazon.com) is not ($40 ish) . Try twice that @ $89.99

Is another example, but this time Costco is selling a newer generation CST135UC2. Previous generation Costco sold had no color LCD, and only USB-A ports CST135XLU
All Cyberpower UPS I've bought, 20+ units, from Costco or other retailer have right angle plugs. I've bought 6 of these exact units from Costco, last was a few months ago, and it has a right angle plug.
In short, it's last gen vs new (current) gen
so happy to see the true sine on sale. but sad im not a costco member so cant buy v__v

I purchased this UPS model back in 2017 from BHphoto https://www.bhphotovide
The specs are pretty much identical to the Costco model.
Also, purchased this CST1500S last year and can confirm it uses a right-angle plug. It says the plug style is a "right angle, 45 deg offset right" on the pdf spec sheet...
