CP1500AVRLCD3 Intelligent LCD UPS System, 1500VA/900W, 12 Outlets, 2 USB Ports, AVR, Mini Tower, Black

We use this CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD3 UPS in a professional IT and office environment to protect workstations and network equipment. Setup was straightforward, and the unit was ready for use immediately. The LCD display is clear and provides useful real-time information on load, battery status, and runtime. Power delivery has been stable, and the UPS has performed as expected during outages and voltage fluctuations. The number of outlets is sufficient for multiple devices, and the USB ports are a useful addition. Overall, this is a dependable UPS that meets our business requirements for power protection and system reliability.

I purchased the CyberPower CP100AVRLCD as a business purchase and an extra security measure for my computer. I have to admit a little buyer's remorse when the package came in. I debated whether it was really that necessary or just a techie extravagance. My concerns were immediately alleviated when I printed to my laser printer. That printer is a little old and a power sucker. My lights dim whenever I use it, but I thought I had each item on a separate circuit. Apparently not. Immediately the UPS kicked in and modulated the electricity within a safe range for my computer. I have essentially been creating brown-outs whenever I print, putting extra strain on my computer and external hard-drive. The display is nice. It lets you know when the unit is active and turns off when it is not. The blue-lighted power button stays on as long as the unit is on. The size is very compact, but it is heavy as bricks. The setup is super easy. I have it set to my Mac Pro. There aren't many extended options for the Mac. You basically hook it to the compute via a USB cable and set your Energy Saver system preferences for the UPS. That control panel will allow you to determine how the computer responds when it is relying solely on the UPS and gives the battery level of the UPS. Other reviewers are correct in that the plugs are closely spaced, which can reduce the amount of equipment you can plug in depending on the plugs. Only some of the plugs are protected by the battery. The others have only surge protection. But you really just need the computer, monitor, and possibly extra hard drives on battery power. The less power drain on the battery will allow it to last longer. One thing I would be curious to know is whether the UPS computer shutdown will override requests by applications to save files and such. Normally the shut-down command times out if applications hold it up too long. I haven't tested this yet. UPDATE: About a year later and the UPS is still working great. I've been doing extensive electrical work on my house, and it saved me a couple of times when I forgot I left the computer on and shut of the main power. It will beep when the power is off but items are pulling electricity from it. The more electricity you are using from the battery the faster the beeping, which is a very nice attribute. It really helped me out when I had the power completely shut off to my house. Long story but I needed to get a hold of the permit inspector so I could set up a follow-up inspection. His number was on my email, so I hauled the UPS to my living room, hooked up the wireless router and cable modem, and was able to connect to the internet with my laptop. Update: about 2.5 years later and it is still working well. Update: It is about 4.5 years after purchase. The battery has some issues. I do not know if it is because of age or if it is inherent to the product but unnoticed until the situation arose. Issue#1 The power went out while I was walking the dogs. I returned to my computer shut down from power failure. Our walks take about 20minutes, and the power probably did not go out right at the beginning. I am assuming it was out about 10minutes. I would think it should allow for power that long with just one inactive computer and monitor. Most likely the battery is just old now. Issue #2. There was a brown-out. I now have 2 computers plugged in. An old mac pro and a new one. The old one was fine but the new one shut down immediately. The brown-out lasted a few second and the battery kicked in right away. I am wondering if the system let through a power fluctuation that the new mac pro is more sensitive to. This one I would be more concerned about if buying new.

I bought this UPS for my HP Proliant ESXi server, NetGear ReadyNAS, and wireless router. The server has two L5520 processors in it, 4 sata drives, an external drive and 18 4 GB sticks of ram to give you an idea of how much equipment i have to power. I have National Grid for electric and my power goes out at least once every three weeks for a few seconds, just long enough to kill my server. I wanted something that was manageable and had enough power to last through a short outage while not draining my bank account. I gave this UPS a shot and its perfect. First off the screen on it is quite nice. It tells you everything you need to know without a computer such as how charged it is, the load its taking, how long it will last, voltage coming in and out. Its really great. The picture on Amazon is exactly the one i have. The pictures can do more justice than me telling you about it. The software that comes with it is okay, just lets you see the same info that's on the front of the UPS. Its good for a workstation but i need the UPS for a server. Instead, use the CentOS PowerPanel Business Edition server CyberPower has available. Its great!!! It's a small Linux server that controls the UPS via a web browser. It has all the automation's you can think of, like powering on and off at scheduled times, certain events and sending alerts via SMS, email and MSN messenger plus a lot more. Right now, mine is set to send a request for a graceful shutdown of all my VM's and ESXi when the powers been out for 30 seconds and when the powers been restored for five minutes, it initiates a power on sequence. Of course my ESXi also boots up critical VM's automatically so i never miss a beat now with this great UPS. It records logs as frequent as every minute and stores them for up to a year. You can even manage the individual outlets on the back through the browser. So how long does this last? With the gear i have attached to it, the gear is using about 26% of the maximum load so it can handle a lot more. I average about 16 minutes of up time with what i have attached. I've unplugged it to see and the time is pretty accurate. That's more than enough time to down a system and still charge a cell phone after in case the powers out for a long time. The battery is nice but the free management software is my biggest plus. I do not know if it works with other brands though as this is my only UPS i have access to. Update: After 4 years, it's still working like the day I got it. My power went out about a month ago and this ran my server, which currently wasn't set to automatically down my servers, for about 12 minutes. I'm only here to buy another for more servers.

Es un buen producto, claro hay que saber comprar estos aparatos, este CyberPower CP1000AVRLCD por ejemplo es de onda simulada, es decir en un osciloscopio verías la onda escalonada, esto no es recomendable para algunas computadoras con fuentes de poder especializadas que requieren onda sinusoidal suave (ondas, con valles y crestas totalmente suaves y degradados, como las que salen de un generador por inducción). Lo compré para proteger un televisor 55" de 135W y un home teather HK de 150W (con unos periféricos que no suman más de 50W en total), por lo que mi consumo máximo será de 335W y quizá agregue un pequeño subwoofer para home teather de 100W (este no break soporta hasta 600W), así que estoy sobrado y quizá me dé unos 20 minutos de respaldo. Esporádicamente conectaré también una notebook de 35W de consumo, que no es demasiado. Es fácil de configurar y para la mayoría de los casos es suficiente con los arreglos que trae de default, la opción de proteger el cable (o la HDTV-TDT) es un gran plus, y también la protección de red es otro buen plus (recomiendo usar sólo cables de red STP de clase 6 a 8, para la mayoría de los casos es suficiente un STP 6A de cobre puro OFC ~AWG 26 a 23~, que sin problemas maneja redes GB ~hasta 10 si la memoria no me falla~, y frecuencias de hasta 550MHz), no recomiendo loa cables UTP pues pueden recibir algo de interferencia y más en estos tiempos donde estamos invadidos por tantas ondas electromagnéticas que pueden generar interferencias o micro corrientes parásitas. El problema que le veo es el software, no es muy difícil pero no es para usuarios principiantes, en mi caso no lo usaré pues la notebook no estará conectada permanentemente, pero es un punto a considerar para quienes usarán esto por ejemplo en un servidor personal que piensen montar por su cuenta. Espero sea duradero y más por su garantía de 3 años, ojalá no tenga problemas al registrarlo pues el recibo de Amazon no es factura, pero no creo que haya problemas, pues desde la página de cyberpower te redirige a Amazon como una de las opciones de compra en línea. Es de notar que los contactos que dicen que sólo dan protección contra picos (está dividido en contactos con protección y batería y sólo con protección de picos), mantienen la alimentación de corriente aunque el no break esté apagado, ahí pueden conectarse por ejemplo aparatos como el echo dot, Roku, Fire, smart hub y algunos periféricos que no requieran suministro continuo de energía durante los apagones y fallos de red eléctrica, pero sí requieran energía de la red eléctrica 24/7. En cuanto a estética es muy austero, no parece de calidad pero funciona perfectamente y sólo tiene 3 botones al frente, el LCD se lee claramente y es blanco; sin dudas en un tiempo compraré uno de estos para cada televisor de casa.

I'm running a small file server and have been experiencing power glitches during the recent heat waves. The Cyberpower CP1000AVRLCD was on the compatibility list for my Synology NAS, so I went for it. It's a compact but hefty unit, as one would expect considering the built-in lead-acid battery. What surprised me a bit was the solid construction, the number of little extra bonus features, and particularly the usefulness of the front LCD display. Among other information, this gave me an estimate of uptime I could expect under my current load - much longer than I'd hoped for. More good news: compatibility proved to be no problem - when I plugged in the USB connection, my Synology DS920+ immediately recognized the UPS by name. I do think plugging most PCs into a UPS is a bit silly. I only run software that's smart enough not to lose my data in the event of a crash (for example, Scrivener for word processing, instead of Word). But the possibility of a server being interrupted in the middle of a write operation is a worry I can do without. Problem solved.

Es el quinto que compro para casa y exceptuando el anterior que compré no me han decepcionado, al anterior no le duraron los tres años las baterías por un par de meses mientras que todos los demás siguen funcionando. Tuve uno de 350VA otro de 550VA hace años, posteriormente compré uno de 1350VA en 2020 que aún está en funcionamiento, en 2021 se compraron 3 de 1500VA, dos para un hijo y uno para mi, es este último (CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD) al que le fallaron las baterías a dos meses de cumplir los tres años (las cambiaré para utilizar en otro lado). Espero que haya sido la unidad ya que hasta la fecha tengo buena opinión de la marca.

El producto llegó a tiempo y correctamente empaquetado, sin embargo no prende de ninguna forma. Espero al menos me lo cambien por uno que funcione.

Magnífico. Nunca se apaga la computadora, aún con variaciones en el voltaje. Y además puedes ver en la pantalla, cuánto está gastando, entre otras cosas. Muy útil y seguro.
