Customer Review: Great UPS. Packaging could use improvement.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've only tested this in an "artificial" scenario, i.e., pulling the plug from the wall after having it charged. Well, it did fine there (as well as with the "self-test" available via the software config). Make sure to download the new software from the Cyberpower website for the latest version. I'm using it on Windows 7 64 bit, and it performs flawlessly. Low resources, and stable. Impressive.
At any rate, I really enjoy the readout from the front. Voltage In, Voltage Out, Power frequency, instantaneous power consumption (in kW), and load and battery capacity as well as estimated runtime are available from the front display. After a period of inactivity, the screen will turn off to avoid needless power consumption. A simple button press will bring it back.
As I stated earlier, I haven't had to test its actual capabilities yet (probably better this way, ha). But living in Florida, that's expected as long as it's not the summer - which is when most of our power events occur. Whether it's a lightning storm, or peak load on the grid during a hot summer afternoon when ACs are on full blast, various conditions can create short power outages, or more likely, severe brownouts. I've lost a router this way. However, I feel more confident with this UPS. I wish it would boost and buck at narrower ranges (the low limit is 90Vac and high limit is 140Vac before it bucks/boosts by switching to the battery), to keep it more in line with the 120Vac +/- 5% optimal range. But that's ok.
This UPS will be tested in real world conditions, but it'll have to wait until the next Florida summer. I figured I'd buy it now while it's cheaper!
The thing that impressed me the most was it's capacity. I appear to have way overestimated my needs! ha. According to the software, with my computer, 22" LCD monitor, Klipsch 2.1 speakers, and my Linksys WRT54GL router plugged in, I have about 38 minutes of runtime. Load is only around 13% or so. I wish it came with more battery backup outlets, but it is ok for my needs. If I need to, I can simply put in a splitter to gain a few extra outlets. (Note: if you do this, make sure to not exceed the total capacity of the UPS, or to overload the one outlet - it can only handle so many amps... use the split with lower-drain devices like modems and routers; in addition, use a regular power splitter, not one with a surge protector built in. It isn't recommended to daisy chain surge protectors due to possible harmonic effects between them during a power event). Also, be sure to heed the warning in the instructions: do not connect a laser printer due to its high transient current draws. I have a Brother laser printer that I have connected to my non-UPS surge protector (the one I used before I bought this UPS).
My only complaint is that whether by UPS' handling, or maybe handling somewhere earlier in the chain, a corner of the UPS had cracked and bent. It was disappointing, but the unit itself still worked, and it wasn't a hazard in any way. It's cosmetic damage, but I wish perhaps it was better packed, since throwing around this 30+ lb box as it was packed certainly will do some damage. I wish Amazon would have put some extra packing around the retail box; instead, they ship the retail box in a bigger cardboard box, and stuff some brown paper in. Some peanuts, bubble wrap, and/or air bags would have served the task far, far better here, especially for something so heavy. However, with the free super saver shipping, I suppose you get what you pay for. BUT - the UPS still works and with damage only on that back corner, so I won't complain too much.
Anyway, if you're looking for a decent UPS at a great price point, I'd recommend this. Obviously, if you're looking for mission-critical or very high end (pure sine wave output type) UPSes, you will have to spend more. However, for the majority of home and small office users, something like this should be perfect.

Description of Cyberpower CP1500AVRLCD UPS - LCD Display 1500VA/900W AVR 8-Outlet RJ11/RJ45/Coax Tower USB
The Intelligent LCD Series CP1500AVRLCD UPS, designed for mid to high-end computer systems, features dynamic line conditioning and a LCD diagnostic display. Real-time system vitals can be viewed from this Crystal-Blue (see below) display. The unit can be conveniently placed in a workstation cabinet, or directly on the desktop. The CP1500AVRLCD guards against surges/spikes, and offers battery backup in the event of brownouts or total power loss. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) ensures that all your electronics are receiving clean power and maintains a safe voltage level. PowerPanel PE ¿ Management Software automatically saves and closes open files and then shuts down the computer system in an intelligent and orderly manner. The Intelligent LCD Series units are also equipped with full dataline protection: RJ11/RJ45 (phone, fax, Ethernet, network, DSL) and RG-6 coax (DSS, cable modem, satellite, cable TV). ¿Surge-Only¿ outlets are perfect for the addition of peripherals such as monitors, printers, scanners, iPods, or CD/DVD players. The GreenPower UPS¿ technology used in this UPS unit significantly reduces energy-usage and cooling costs associated with UPS power protection. In fact, the GreenPower UPS¿ advanced circuitry bypass reduces energy use by up to 75% compared to a traditional UPS design. As a result, you can expect to save between $50-to-$150 annually (varies based on model, and regional kilowatt per hour costs) by using GreenPower UPS¿ technology. CyberPower stands behind its products by offering an industry-leading 3-year warranty, professional Technical Support, and Connected Equipment Guarantee of $500,000.The CyberPower Intelligent LCD CP1500AVRLCD uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for mid to high-end computer systems, features dynamic line conditioning to guard against surges/spikes and offers battery backup in the event of brownouts or blackouts. Its patented GreenPower UPS advanced circuitry reduces UPS energy costs by up to 75% compared to competitive models.
The CP1500AVRLCD unit has a capacity of 1500VA/900 Watts, eight (8) NEMA 5-15R receptacles, including four (4) fail-safe outlets for critical loads. The intelligent multi-function LCD panel displays real-time UPS vitals for ease of control. This unit offers connectivity via one (1) HID USB and one (1) serial port, as well as protection for phone/network (RJ11/RJ45) and cable/coax (RG-6). It has two (2) maintenance-free, user-replaceable 12V/8.5Ah batteries and includes EMI/RFI filters to increase the immunity of the load to disturbances and surges. PowerPanel Personal Edition UPS Management software automatically closes computer files and safely shuts down the system in case of a power outage.
