CyberPower Intelligent LCD Series GreenPower UPS CP1500AVRLCD 1500VA 900W 8 Outlets UPS

Pros: Nice display with showing time left in minutes and more. Software for linux easy to install and configure.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Unlike others reported, my shipment came with a shipping box around the product box. The UPS itself is smaller than I expected for a 1500VA (I normally buy the big APC ones.).

Pros: Easy to install (don't even have to connect batteries), informative LCD, user-friendly software, plenty of backup run time, looks cool (LCD & CyberPower logo on side), easy to service.

Tested with a NZXT HALE82 850 watt PSU, computer continued to work after unplugging UPS.

Newegg packaged it in a shipping box, and it arrived sans damage, ordered on a Monday and arrived the next Thursday with 3 day shipping. CyberPower and Newegg make a great combination.

Cons: None really

Other Thoughts: This is my 2nd CyberPower UPS and I would recommend their products to anyone.

Youtube my nickname & product name for a video review.

Pros: I've had this UPS for 4 years and its SOLID. I've had the power go out right in front of my face and that UPS kicked in without a hitch, without a spike, without a single distortion. It is a must have to protect your investment.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Its been a few years, I should probably change the battery for due diligence, even though I have no problems with the current one.

Pros: This is the second one I have purchased. The first was about 2 years ago and it is still going strong. This one wil replace a 5 year old APC that needs a battery. The APC has done it's job well but I like the information panel on the CyberPower.

Cons: None

Pros: It's worked flawlessly through countless blackouts, brownouts and surges, keeping all my equipment from harm for the last 18 months.

The 900w battery is enough to keep my Core i7 Extreme and its 10 hard drives running for over 6 minutes. Also included in that time are my 46" LCD, USB hub, router and cable modem.

It's saved me countless hours of time and stress from losing work and having to reboot and restart all my apps.

The software, PowerPanel, communicates through the USB connection to monitor and report on outages and status.

Also used it to recharge my tablet during an extended power outage.

Cons: For the last few months, each self test I run reports that the battery was in fact 25-30% lower than it reported before the test ran. Once the software sees this, it recharges it back to 100%, but I'm concerned this may be indicative of a dying battery, which, after less than 2 years of constant use is a little disappointing. I've written to their support department to get more details.

Pros: I put this review on the wrong UPS backup so I'm rewriting it on this UPS, the correct one.

I bought 4 of these and they worked with my X750 and X850 Seasonic power supply's. I tested them and they kicked in fast enough to keep the computer working. If I used a power strip, it caused too much of a delay and the computer just rebooted (directions say not to anyway).

Cons: I didn't know that they were incompatible with some APFC power supply's until after they shipped and I was reading reviews. I like how the vender reacts to reviews with canned responses about the description omitting that information, they try so hard to act aloof.

Other Thoughts: I read in another review that a buyer said it worked with his Corsair 850 PSU, so I figured I would be okay because Seasonic makes Corsairs PSU's. All 3 battery backups came inside a second brown box, so it would seem Newegg got the message (they have 2 warehouses though, it could be a lottery). I do BOINC so my computers are running 24/7 365 and if they go down due to a power outage, I could loose upwards of 350 hours work per model (1 per core).

Pros: I don't know if I'm just lucky or what. I've run this thing pretty much 24/7 for 6 years now (purchase on 05/2007) and it has yet to die on me. Still working like a champ.

Tech support is pretty good. The only time I called them was I had difficultly locating the software after a few years. They e-mailed me a link to download it.

Cons: The software is a little old and ugly, but works.

Pros: running solid for a year, i have had a few porew outages and this thing kept a 750 watt media server running for over an hour before i shut it all down.

Cons: none at all

Pros: Nice quality device. Plug, play, forget. Priced lower than some other brands of UPS.

Cons: Software is just ok. LED screen on front is of questionable value.

Pros: Hopefully it will work like the first one but i have to let it acclimate and charge before i know for sure how much damage was done to it by the horrible newegg shipping on this item.

Cons: All Newegg did was put some plastic tape around the paper thin manufacturer's box and hope that that would withstand the 50 pound battery back up being thrown around during shipping....here's a hint...it didnt hold up. The box was torn in several places and the styrofoam was in small pieces inside the box instead of the two solid pieces it should have been. The battery backup was actually powered ON! in the box and hot to the touch. Which means its been overheaded, starved for ventilation and banged up enough to actually power on the unit. I'm going to try to let it recharge and see how much damage was done to it before getting another (third time's a charm?) RMA. Or maybe i'll go through cyberpower. If I were Cyberpower i'd have a discussion with Newegg about how they ship my product because all this does it make them look bad.

Other Thoughts: To reiterate, the first unit i got worked great, but the second one i ordered failed and then newegg failed at shipping the RMA correctly. So it seems hit or miss whether you'll have issues. I recommend inspecting the box carefully and testing the system before you put anything critical on it.

Manufacturer Response:

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback regarding the CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD. Based on the experience described, this appears to be an issue involving this specific model being shipped only in its retail box without an additional brown cardboard shipping box. The retail boxes that CyberPower provides to its partners are not designed to be used alone as a shipping box. We have addressed this issue with Newegg several times. I will forward a copy of your review to our contacts at Newegg. CyberPower is constantly working with its partners to ensure customers like yourself are satisfied and we will continue to do so in this case.
