I have an older version of this same UPS, this one has a black background on the screen with blue letters and is much easier to read than the blue black/black letters.

Works great.

After a lot of research, decided on this for an ESXi host. First off, THANK YOU to CyberPower for making a ridiculously easy to use virtual appliance that can be loaded right in to ESXi. Did not feel like dealing with command line to safely shut down VMs during power failure. Email notifications and level of configuration for the virtual appliance made this a no brainer. This unit seems to be at the high end of the sweet-spot for capacity, price, physical size, and features.


Works as it should.

- Arrived well-before suggested delivery date. - Well-packaged to prevent any damage. - Set-up was easy with minimal, but very good instructions. - It has been in use for almost two weeks, and there have been no electrical incidents where the backup needed to turn on, so . . . will need to wait to comment on reliability. - Connected to the Back-UPS 1500 are an iMac with two ext HDD's, a Mac mini M2 Pro w/ 4TB of SSD, a studio monitor, and an OWC mini stack STX with a 4 TB HDD and 4 TB of SSD.

Great price on 300 Watt 1 RU unit. I have 6, all work well.

Powerchute software to automatically save documents and shut down your computer Many outlets, half battery, half surge protection only. User-replaceable battery. Easy to set up. Easy to use. Easy to register.

- Works as advertised, supports my mid-range PC with dual monitor setup long enough to save, close my work & shutdown when outages/fluctuations occur - power supplied to my devices plugged in remains consistent & entirely uninterrupted - Has lived through over a dozen power flickers & full on outages in my small town which is notorious for frying household appliances with our terrible power company (in southern Ontario, Canada) - Alarm when wall power is lost and UPS has kicked on can be turned off/on - Alarm, when on, is not excessively loud - the word alarm makes you think it will be screaming at you but it's comparable to a microwave button beep, probably a little bit quieter - When alarm is turned off, it still makes a very audible click when kicking on due to external power being cut off, so unless you have closed headphones or are blasting music you'll probably know the power went out if you didn't have any other indicator (like you had your lights off in your room mid-day or something) and can begin shutting your stuff off

-web interface for management -email alerts -can do both web interface and USB for safe shutdown of computers or NAS

These seem to work with our generator. This is my UPS of choice at this point.

Easy to view screen is very helpful.

Works great...love the digital display and the gadget for windows 7.

Well packed manufacturer packaging. Very clear multi-lingual user manual that is well worth the time reading the few pages in your chosen language. Very clear warning markers attached to UPS. Very difficult to install and use this unit without seeing the warning marker to connect the internal batteries. Silent operation; it does not have any fans on/in it that I can tell. Novel "master slave" outlet pairing. Lose power to the "master" device and the "slave" device turns off immediately. The manual tells me this feature is disabled by default, but read the user manual carefully to fully understand it's operation.

Small and works great for the modem and router and other small power use.

It works as advertised.

I'm in IT and have purchased 50-60 of these units in the last 3 years with no problems. No DOA's and non have failed yet. I find that 550VA is great for single workstations like Core2Duo with duel 19" LCD's.

Ive had this backup running for about 2 months now and luckily its only seen action once. I have 2 Proliant DL160 G6's hooked up to it along with a switch, router, and modem. The power went out for about 2 hours and I was able to keep the servers online with the network for a half hour after the outage. Once I killed the servers, my network remained online throughout the duration of the outage. Needless to say this thing is capable of providing some long lasting power should you need it.

Great product. I forget it's there until the power goes out, and it gives me more than enough time to shut everything off. Been using it for a few years now and the batteries are still good. Better than the AP* brand we use at work.
