For just a little more money than an APC (or quite more for other brands), you can get this Cyber Power with Pure Sine Wave (so you can daisy chain smaller UPSes after it) that also has a port for an SNMP card, so you can shutdown other computers and servers on your network when the power goes out.

Downloadable software for enhanced experience. 3 year warranty (excluding battery) Minimal footprint High capacity for residential use cases. User replaceable battery Easy to understand front panel controls Plug and play & Advanced setups Easy to understand labeling on back of unit


This has provided great protection from frequent power outages in my area. The connection software works well and can shut down my computer for extended outages. This is a must have item for anyone who wants to keep their hardware safe. I run it in multiple locations for work and home. I plan on adding another one for my internet hardware soon.

The product is improved from my prior model without much difference in price. I like that the box is just a little bit smaller and better ventilated.

Easy setup Clean looking Easy management

Operated exactly as advertised. This review unit arrived with excellent timing. The day after I installed it the power here went out for over an hour with several outages the following week! Not only did the BU 600 keep my cable modem, gigabit switch and a high end router running without missing a beat, I was even able to keep my phone charging. Estimated run time with the new battery and minimalist load was 3 hours+. Of course age reduces the battery capacity, but if you use this product in your server room, it will keep your web connections and routers running like nothing happened for at least 60+ minutes Management software is a free download. The unit was detected on my win7/64 laptop USB and windows drivers installed, and then I installed the APC software. No eyebrow raisers there. Wall mounting holes a nice touch. USB charge port @ 1.5amps shows engineers are listening to customers. I'm seeing this all over the business lately. I just bought a nice desk lamp that has a USB charge port on it.

Instructions were perfect.

The price as it was on sale, good reputable company, quiet. Eaton is a big company that deals a lot in the automotive industry which is how I know of them.

Easy to set up and use.

its made to do what its made to do, as soon as my city grid loses power, this back up kicks in allowing me enough time, more than enough time, to safely shut down the computer w/o losing any data



- Easy setup - Well laid out outlets

Works well

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.

I used to design UPS systems, and I wanted to get a good unit to modify as a CPAP inverter and include a larger external battery. I have been using a larger version of this unit (1500VA / 900W) and have been very happy with it. This one has been very reliable and very low power losses. And yes - it is a proper sine wave output. Like most in this price range, it is line interactive. That means that the end load is usually just attached to the utility with a transformer being used to improve the line voltage range. The inverter is a 12V inverter that feeds a winding on the same transformer. There is a single 12V 9AH gel-cell type battery. This unit came from Newegg with much better packing than Newegg has done in the past. The Cyberpower retail box was inside a larger box with bubble wrap. Much of the bubble wrap had been popped from shipping, but the UPS arrived in good shape. I was very glad to see the extra packing. I have received several UPS systems from Newegg in the past with the UPS systems damaged. I used the software from their website to turn off the sounder, which worked great. Note: when pushing the button to power on or off the UPS, the sounder still will beep to warn you that you are killing the output or flaming it on. I personally like that to keep from making a bad mistake.

Software is nice, you can daisy chain it from the main server with usb/serial to all of the computers through lan to all shut down together. Also a nice testing feature on the browser page to test the unit and make sure it does work in a real world test situation.

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.

Been waiting for a storm to submit a review. This unit maintained my internet connection during a Tornado Warning and subsequent power outage. I love it!
