CyberPower PFC Sinewave Series 1300VA / 780W Tower Ups

US based CyberPower manufactures very high quality UPSes. This model (one of three in the series) is a pure sine wave model. I was unable to find any reputable brand pure sine wave output UPS within similar price bracket. Another well known brand, APC, offers similar model at almost twice the price! The CyberPower PFC is very well made, and has six Aus standard sockets at the back. Free software provides full information about the UPS status, and full history log. Front panel LCD is very clear and provides comprehensive information, including power consumption and predicted time UPS can run devices with power failure. The LCD status panel turns itself off if no button is pressed for about 1min, which is great. The UPS is completely silent - a rear cooling fan ... MoreUS based CyberPower manufactures very high quality UPSes. This model (one of three in the series) is a pure sine wave model.

The CyberPower PFC is very well made, and has six Aus standard sockets at the back. Free software provides full information about the UPS status, and full history log. Front panel LCD is very clear and provides comprehensive information, including power consumption and predicted time UPS can run devices with power failure. The LCD status panel turns itself off if no button is pressed for about 1min, which is great. The UPS is completely silent - a rear cooling fan activates only when there is no power and it runs on internal, user replaceable battery. Changeover to the battery power when external power fails is almost instantaneous, no external devices had any issues with it (I have about 10 sensitive devices connected - routers, modems, switches, NASes, etc). Green design means that the battery should last longer, and power consumption needed for internal battery top up is minimal. In summary: this is the best UPS I ever had (and I used many), and the price is very competitive. IMPORTANT (true for any UPS): NEVER connect a surge protected power board to any UPS output, and NEVER plug in any UPS box into a surge protected socket (Google for technical explanation why). If needed, use non surge protected power boards only!

Pros: Works great. We've had a couple quick power cuts since I've had it and everything stayed up. I have a switch, router, and two NAS's plugged in and says that's around 30min of battery time on the display, which is more than enough. The usb connection goes to the Qnap NAS with NUT clients for the other equipment and that all works fine.Cons: The power and display buttons are a bit too close together and the power button is lit, so I instinctively want to press the nicely lit up power button in my dark comms closet rather than the display button! But luckily I haven't yet!

Pros: Delighted with this UPS, out of the box it was fully charged and very pleased that via USB was connects to my 2020 iMac 5K and is seen in power management. Had this for 3 weeks overjoyed with it, pure sine which I required as running a valuable iMac and a Lacie Big drive so wanted those protected. My Giga network connects through this without any speed loss. It's a slim attractive unit as UPS's go and when required replacement batteries aren't that expensive. Given all this I'd buy one tomorrow, very pleased overall and with the service from Box. Ordered late on a Sunday and arrived on the Tuesday.Cons: Nothing to report.
