CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD UPS 1000VA / 600W PFC compatible Pure sine wave

Comment:
Nice LED display, displays power usage. Turned off audible alarm, quiet environment, don't need extra noise. Small size easy to fit. Reasonable price on replacement batteries.

The photos don't do it justice, though you're probably not buying it for the good looks.The unit is almost alarmingly light, but it does manage to keep 320W worth of PC and TV running for over 7 minutes. It produces not sounds during normal operation, which is great.It's a bit early to say, but so far I'm liking it better than the similarly rated APC unit it replaced.

The power where I live can be saggy at times and as a result, my PC would often drop  out (several times a week). Since being on this UPS, I haven't had any issues.

I've had this unit for 4 months yet. Ironically, I didn't have one power outage since, but it does help to clean my power.The PowerPanel software is simple, yet useful. It does look very much like the APC personal software.I really like the LCD. I recently moved from a 5 years old AMD build to a Haswell build and the UPS was able to show me that my new build uses way less power (watts). It was nice to know !Finally, PFC is always great to have when using good power supplies such as Seasonic. Read about PFC if you don't know what it is, but if you get a non-PFC UPS with a PFC power supply, you might have a shutdown of your computer when a power outage occurs, even if you have a brand new UPS. Unfortunately, PFC UPS are more expensive, but the CyberPower is the least expensive to date with PFC enabled.I would buy again.

This unit replaces a dead APC XS 1300 that served me well for years. I wanted to move to a Pure Sine Wave UPS and this one was the best price/performance ratio.Thus far, it has worked perfectly with the multiple short outages (few seconds) I've encountered since I bought it and I have not encountered any issues.

Cheapest Sine wave UPS. Always had an APC but gave them a shot. Compared to features+price, this one is better.

I own 2 of these, I got one on Boxing day for a similar price to the non green power unit. I owned a Belkin and Opti UPS before, and replaced them with these. I really like the LCD showing how much power is being used, only issue I have is that I need more room for one of the outlets for the battery back up. I am using 1 for my main monitor, my PC takes another batter back up outlet, and my modem takes the other back up location, but its plug, and the routers plug are so big, they block the forth outlet, so I cannot plug my router in for batter back up. This is really just bad planning on behalf of the modem and router companies I chose. If one of the outlets was spaced out just another 1/2 inch I would be okay.

L'atout de ce UPS c'est sa sortie sinusoidale qui est moins "dur" sur les alimentations avec correction active du facteur de puissance. Pour le reste personnelement je crois que APC est bien mieux on le sent dans la prise en main du produit. J'ai deux UPS APC (XS1000 et XS1300)sur d'Autres système plus haur de gamme et ces derniers ont en pratique plus du double de la durée de sauvegarde sur batterie que ce CyberPower. Je donne trois étoiles à cause de la sortie sinusoidale sinon ce serait seulement deux étoiles. Je n'alimenterais certainement pas un système haute gamme avec ce UPS seulement un système de base.

This was the best option for a pure sine wave output UPS that I could find. It works great, it's non-intrusive, effective, durable, reliable, quiet, good information from the LCD screen and the light windows tray program through working through the USB cable.All plugs are surge protected but only half are on battery backup. I could have used a couple more on backup since regular surge protectors are cheap. They are also all angled the same way and too close together so one small transformer plug blocked 2 additional plug spaces. I solved this problem by purchasing a few 1-foot extension cords.Full price is very expensive for only 600W power output, but it can be found on sale. I thought my sale price was good until I saw the week after I bought it that a new sale was $30 lower. NCIX's prices fluctuate too wildly in my opinion. At sale prices, I think this is a worthwhile investment to prevent your computers from a hard reboot when the power suddenly goes out or flickers, and also to give you a few minutes to finish what you were doing, save your work, and shutdown safely when the power remains cut.

It was time to replace my old UPS (moved it to less critical duties) I read a review on a similar model and bought it thru Price Matching :)Great LCD info - Volts, Watts used, battery charge. Nice software, easy to install and intuitive.This battery backup has everything I needed to protect my system.
