How didn't I know how important this is for anyone owning a computer and/or gaming system? Ignorant noob.

If you are still using a usual surge protector, let me persuade you to buy one of these. Yes, it is expensive, but completely worth it. At my tech's advice I bought this battery surge protector. It has half of the many outlets on battery, the other half on surge without the battery. I plugged in my computer, monitor, and network boxes to the battery. Then we had a black-out. Everything went off, except my computer and my network. Because of that, I could calmly save what I was working on, shut down the computer properly, then hop on the network with my tablet to see what was going on. I could even plug in my dying cell phone to charge a bit so I had some music while I prepared for bed. I loved it so much, I spent the bucks on a second one for my television and ps4. Having the time to find a save point is invaluable if there's another blackout.

Great product for the price

I purchased this UPS after frequent power-outages in my neighborhood caused my desktop's hard drive to begin to fail. With this product, you can properly close out of applications and shut down your computer during a power outage to prevent data loss, corruption, or damage to the components on your computer that can be caused by abrupt power outages or power surges. Before you buy this product, know the total power consumption (in watts) of the things you want to plug into the "battery and surge protection" half of this UPS. I knew that even though my desktop has a 500W rated psu, it only draws 335W under full load. My desktop monitor uses 47W, so the total is well under 450W. ***If you hook up more than 450W to this UPS it will scream at you with its alarm. If it does, you best believe the battery backup wont power any of your devices*** Overall, the build quality seems pretty good and it has a good weight to it too. I'll update this review if it fails to function properly during a power-outage. Until then, I have nothing but good things to say about it.

It is not too large so it fits on the shelf under my desk nicely and have enough battery side plugs for what I ...

I work remotely and needed to be sure that I had a reliable battery back up in place in the event of power outages so that my computer monitors stayed on and I could continue to work until power was restored or, save any open work and gracefully shut down. This provide that. It is not too large so it fits on the shelf under my desk nicely and have enough battery side plugs for what I need. Other items, like printer, are plugged into the non-battery side as I don't care if they go off when power goes out. This was delivered on time and as described.

Very pleased

We bought this as battery backup for our internet gateway because sometimes the power flickers off during storms and it takes the system forever to come back online. We’ve been happy with it for months. Tonight the power went out completely but this unit kept the gateway on for 4 hours so we had WiFi and digital phone service. It totally exceeded my expectations. I am very pleased.

Software Download/silence

I found that UPS units are hard to shop for because the reviews for such units are confusing. It seems that no matter how much you spend you are going to read concerning negative reviews for your choice. I choose this UPS because the reviews didn't suck as bad at the price range I was shooting for. You just have to take a chance. I have had this UPS for a month now and I have tested it several times. So far it works fine. It hasn't blown up or started on fire. I have not noticed any negative problems. One thing I finally figured out is that you can download software for it. The software monitors the power supply and will automatically turn off your computer if the battery get to a certain level, if that is what you set it to do. It will also notify you on your computer screen if the power goes out. The UPS also starts beeping, but the pop-up is nice to have. One thing to be mindful about is that if you silence the alarm on the UPS, the alarm remains silence until you unsilence it the same way you silenced it (press and hold the silence button). It does not reset automatically like I would expect it to. This means that if you silence it and do not manually unsilence it, you will not get an alarm when the power goes out next time. This can be a problem if you miss the notification on you screen somehow (It is not that big or long) and you may not notice that the power went out, thus running out of battery and having no advance notice that this is the case (like if you are playing a game). If I designed this UPS, I would make the silence reset when the power was restored after a power outage, but... Non-the-less, I feel this product (mine at least) deserves 5 stars because it function like it should during a power outage.

I Cannot Do Without One of These!

When a different brand UPS system died, I immediately went into research mode to find a replacement, and I settled on this. Now both my husband and I have one connected to our computers and hard drives to ensure that they keep running in the event of a power outage. It's not enough to have these delicate electronics on a surge protector -- although that's critical -- but this CyberPower UPS gives us time to save our work before the computers shut down. Even though we do have a whole house generator, thirty-seconds of unsaved work can be an eternity. When we did NOT have that generator, we could lose even more. This is the kind of device that you don't know how much you need until you have one. You get about 15 minutes of back-up battery life, depending on what is drawing power at the same of outage, and it goes on immediately upon sensing a loss of current. I settled on this one because of price and reviews. It has six outlets on each side, although only one side has battery back-up, so make sure you choose carefully what you do and don't plug into that side. The other outlets have surge protection only. I've plugged my computer and hard-drive back-ups into the battery side and things like my USB hub and speakers into the other. Unfortunately, as with all the brands of battery-back-up power supplies I've used, larger power packs can block off the use of an adjacent outlet, so 12 outlets doesn't really accommodate 12 devices. I have 7 plugged into mine, and, since most of those devices have chunky power adapters, the UPS could probably take only one more regular plug. If nothing else, you want to plug in your computer and the hard drive(s) you use for back-ups. Everything is gravy. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

Purchased three, all working extremely well so far anyway.

I purchased three of these to replace some APC units that were giving me issues yet again. I purchase a ton of APC units in larger sizes, but the desktop sized ones seem to fail quickly around my office and even with battery replacement they do not work right. I was also looking specifically for a UPS with AVR and these after looking seems to meet my needs pretty well. I have used CyberPower surge strips and such before but had no personal experience with the UPS product. I specifically got these three to use at my computer workbench where two of the are, and my personal desk area where the last one is at. I have had these for a while now and they have given me no trouble at all and have worked very well. I have done some basic run testing just to ensure they are working correctly by unplugging them and letting them run for a few minutes and all have worked as expected. The mute button that is easy to get to is a favorite when doing these tests... I was not testing for life span as I have generator backed outlets, but I did want to ensure nothing had troubles with how it switched and such and I never encountered any issues with my equipment at all. We've had more than a few hard storms and lightning and such over the summer causing minor power fluctuations and these have never missed a beat yet anyway. I am using these in the standing position as they are show in the picture and they do stand just fine which is nice, and the outlet spacing and number of outlets are working out great for me. I like that there are no "green power" or "master outlets" that were on the APC units that I replaced, I had a few outlets die on my last bench UPS' and every time one quit it was one of the special outlets. I just want basic reliable power and these are delivering it for me anyway. I will continue to test these out, but if they continue as they have I may well move to getting this brand for the office and see how they work in a larger deployment. I will update if any issues crop up in my testing and further use.

Cost effective, easy-to-use, and dependable.

This is my first experience with the CyperPower brand. I had previously used the more expensive APC which, for the same price, had less features and plugs. Both my previous APC battery backups lasted around three years before the battery gave out. The replacement cost of the batteries was not cost-effective. What I liked about this Cyber Power unit is that it is much more reasonably priced, it gave me more plugs for both backup and just surge protection and, best of all, it was so much easier to install. I dreaded having to open the APC units and connecting the batteries. I realize I'm not super dexterous and my fingers are a bit large, but I had the hardest time getting those connectors on right! This unit arrives with the battery connected, but uncharged. You have to plug it in for a minimum of 8 hours to charge the battery before you connect your computer and peripherals (laser printers not allowed in the battery backup plugs.) It connects to the computer cpu via Usb 2.

Works great!

This was a great investment. I ordered this item before my area knew that hurricane Irma was coming. It was delayed getting here due to the storm (understandable). It came a couple days after the storm passed. I have been forced to run on a generator for the passed 5 days. If you are familiar with how generators work, they are inconsistent with voltage. Every time the A/C or refrigerator comes on the voltage drops for a split second. I plugged it in and it has been doing it's job ever since. There is no way possible I would have been able to use sensitive electronics without this CyberPower AVRG750U AVR Series UPS 750VA 450W Compact. I can not stress enough how well this thing works! In my opinion this thing has passed a very difficult test after the hurricane.

Week 1: So far so good.

I purchased a smaller Cyberpower UPS a few years ago to protect a single desktop computer, and it is still working and has done a great job. So I added this unit to protect two additional systems on our network. My installation will draw just under 100w and provide ample time to shut down our systems after a power outage. This is week 1 and I can only provide the following review: The package arrived in a couple days after my order. I followed directions and charged it for 8 hours prior to use, downloaded the power panel management software and plugged in the systems. Everything powered as expected and the software panel provided some great options for power management. I am particularly happy about the integration of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) in these little units. The email notification was quick and easy to set up -- best of all it sent a successful email in a test. I hope that the automated settings in the software will actually work in a real power outage incident, but I'm not given to automatically believing the marketing in the materials. So far so good -- another recommend at this point (given my operational requirements). Another reason for writing this review is that I have been disappoined by uninformed and unhelpful reviews for most UPS units while making my buying decision. Specifically, generic complaints that a unit "doesn't last as long as other units" is arbitrary and unhelpful. This type of review doesn't indicate the load placed on the unit during power loss. These types of reviews also don't indicate their operational requirements -- do customers use their UPS to give them time for an orderly shutdown or do they continue to use UPS power until the unit runs out of battery power? To make matters worse, other Amazon customers indicate that these general comments are helpful -- they aren't! Nor does anyone take the time to educate buyers that a UPS is not a substitute for a generator. My suggestion before buying a UPS, consider the power draw that will be placed on the unit during power loss, and review your operational requirements after a power loss. And I'll say it -- a UPS is NOT a generator. It's purpose is to inform you of a power loss and give you and opportunity for an ordered shut down to protect your systems. After a power outage, the purpose of a UPS is not to allow you to continue working until the end of battery life.
