CyberPower Intelligent LCD Series GreenPower UPS CP1350AVRLCD 1350 VA 810 Watts 4 x 5-15R Battery/Surge Protected 4 x 5-15R Surge Protected Outlets UPS

Pros: It is a good paperweight

Cons: The maker fails to warn you that this may not work with Active PFC PSU's. So i found out the hard way when simulating a power outage and my system shutdown hard and then BSOD'ed.

Pros: it has fancy screen

Cons: it does not switch properly when the power goes out, out of 10 times it did, twice my computer restarted, causing me great loss of data. looks like you need another ups for this ups, joke of engineering.

Other Thoughts: when it does switch, it switches and holds as promised, but what good is it when your data is lost....

Pros: Excellent protection for your PCs, displays, cable modem router/switchs/ps3s you name it. I have one or more in every room where i have electronics. Voltage regulated, surge protected uninterruptable power source. Devices run better behind one. When the power cuts out you're still up and your investment is protected.

Cons: None. Solid investment.

Other Thoughts: Plugging electronics in wall outlets with no surge protection or voltage regulation will yield lower life expectancy of your equipment.

Pros: I've watched the power go down a couple times and this thing saved my work. The power here sucks on snow/thunder storms, or even in an afternoon shower (...)

Cons: I'd prefer if all 8 plugs were on battery, but this is very minor.

Pros: Nice UPS/Surge protector for the money. Setup took no time at all and the included software is nice to see on screen how much power your using or when, and for how long, the last power outage was. I have have my desktop PC, speakers, modem, printer, router and 22" monitor all hooked up and it's only loaded 17%! Pretty sweet.

Cons: None so far, but only had it running for about a month.

Pros: I bought 3 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: 1. Excellent capacity and runtime for the size.
2. Supported by nut.
3. Front panel shows anything you could want. (After 4 years I FINALLY know how much power my networking gear uses ;-).)

Cons: None yet

Pros: I've heard it click on and off a few times, no interruption in computing. 810 DC Watts is great since my monitor consumes only 20W and I have a 750W Power Supply on my desktop.

Cons: The power button LED is way too visible and bright. I covered it with tape.

Other Thoughts: Volts x Amps = Watts, but AC wattage doesn't equal DC wattage. Base everything on DC watt output, or you'll overload your selected UPS.

Pros: it works, and has nice display.

Cons: Emits high pitched squeal noises.

Other Thoughts: I must have had high expectations since I previously had a great experience with Cyberpower's lower power rating UPS devices.
I decided to "go big" on this purchase and buy a more powerful UPS, but the noise pretty much makes this UPS unusable. I would not buy it again.

Manufacturer Response:

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback regarding CyberPower’s CP1350AVRLCD. Based on the unique experience described, we recommend that you contact our free technical support to immediately address the issue. I believe the issue you have experienced is due to the PFC power supply in your PC. The UPS is compatible with some PFC designs, but not all.

CyberPower’s new Active PFC Adaptive Sinewave technology is the first to solve the critical compatibility issues of non-Sinewave UPS products working with computing systems using Active PFC power supplies (ENERGY STAR 5.0). CyberPower is constantly working with its partners to ensure customers like yourself are satisfied and we will continue to do so in this case. Please contact us at 877-297-6937 M-F 8-5 CST, or priority1@CPSww.com, so that we can act to completely address your issue and ensure your total satisfaction.

Pros: Lasted over three years before finally dying after Hurricane Sandy. Supported my home performance PC system no problem (AMD Phenom II X4 940, HD 4870X2, 60gb OCZ SSD, 1TB WD HDD, 750W PSU). Great for charging small devices during periods of no power (like during and after the hurricane). Nice look and helpful LCD. Getting a new one only the 1000VA version because I don't need that much power.

Cons: Expensive... though not too much, relatively speaking.
