Okay ish for the money, but buying something that works in the near future. The included management software is absolutely terrible. It often locks up using 100% of one thread on the CPU, and also managed to render all of the COM ports on my machine unusable by keeping them open to scan for RS-232 UPS's. It was so bad I wrote my own software for it. Need I say more? If you want your machine to auto shut-down, buy a different unit. (if you wish to write your own UPS software, take a look at the Network UPS tools source code for command sets.) All the UPS circuitry is very inefficient, to the point where it works very well as a footwarmer...view more

So far I have used it for about 3 weeks. As we live rural we use it as a backup for our wireless internet and phone connection, it should be able to keep our connection going for about 6 hours if we have a power cut.

I needed to use a power board in between to use two power supplies in the backup circuit.

I bought this back in 2016. It works well as a simple battery backup BUT if you want the functionality of automating the shutdown of your computer you need the comms cable to be plugged in. Having the cable plugged in causes the device detection noise to continually go on and off (about every 10 seconds) as it "plugs and unplugs" effectively. This is a real issue when you have the audio on your computer and you hear the connect and disconnect tone while trying to listen to something. Similar to if you plug in and pull out a USB stick into a slot. I thought there was something wrong with the unit so got in touch with the manufacturer to...view more

Excellent UPS. Love it. This is protecting my DellR610 virtualisation server, which runs my machines in my home lab and my Plex server. Runs at 20% load :)
