CP1000AVRLCD Intelligent LCD UPS Battery Backup | 1000VA/600W, 9 Outlets, AVR, Mini-Tower, UL Certified

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.

Works well, as I have added mine to my 3D printer. It does go into alarm when it first starts heating but it keeps the print running during a power outage. Which is why I wanted it.

So with Google now about to charge for photos, it's timely that I created my own NAS RAID server - network storage that is backed up by a 2nd backup drive. It's been a long journey not only finding but configuring the technology and migrating the data/including 2TB of mainly photos. I love Synology and the RAID NAS that I got. However, as a newbie I accidentally unplugged it and bricked one of the drives. After much heartache, I was forced to buy a new replacement hard drive and finally got it working. However, the experience taught me to prepare for a real power outage which happens a bit too often in my area. So I decided to get this, primarily because Synology said that it was a model directly supported. One benefit is that you can connect it to the NAS and the battery backup can send a signal for the NAS to shutdown which is awesome. Murphy's law I haven't had an actual power outage since I got it but it's great to know that my photos and data are protected. It's a large device and I like the display. Pretty high quality construction. I'll report back once I actually have an outage and see what happens. Easy to setup and the Synology shutdown part was also easy in that it autodetected the compatible battery backup and just had to enable it.*Update*Yesterday had our first big snow storm of the year and had a power outage. Worked perfectly and my NAS reported the power going out. It also reported that the battery backup would shutdown the NAS if the battery started to deplete. The outage was a slight outage for only a few seconds so it didn't have to run that much but it assured that the NAS didn't crash. As I stated earlier, the NAS always needs consistent power or there is a chance to fatally damage the disks. Worth it!

This CyberPower CP1000AVRLCD worked well during the time I used it. The battery eventually died, and I haven't looked into a replacement since I ended up switching to a rack mounted UPS after setting up a server rack. Solid performer while it lasted.

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.

I use it for my home computer system. Be sure to follow the instructions precisely when it comes to connecting devices to this unit. Only connect what you really need in the event of a power outage, to the powered outlets. Computer, modem, monitor, even a small desk lamp/light. Follow the instructions and DO NOT connect devices like laser printers as they require a large power output to operate, and will create a major drain on this device, even if they're not printing anything. Besides, how often do you have to print documents that you need power to your printer at all times? I connected my printer and stereo speakers to a separate power strip connected to a different outlet in the room.The software disc that comes with it installs easily, and adds a monitor display screen to your task bar. This can be opened to show the power available from the unit, should you lose power, as well as, the power drain that would be in effect to the devices you have attached, and your total battery time remaining based on devices that are connected. You can run diagnostic tests to make sure it's fully functional. You can also configure the alarm and software sounds, the length of time your computer runs on battery, and voltage controls for the tolerance of your UPS to voltage flucuations.Simply put, if you have too many devices plugged in and the power drain exceeds the power available, your backup power will drain much faster, and some devices, like your computer, may suffer from a hard crash resulting in lost data that you did not have time to save.You get nine outlets for your devices. A column of five powered/surge protected outlets on one side, and a column of four surge protection only (non-powered) outlets on the other side. In the center you have phone line in/out ports, coax in/out ports, and a reset button. Above the column of four non-powered/surge protect only outlets is the interface port for connection to one of your computers USB ports. A USB cable, Phone cable and Power Cord for this unit are included. So may sure you have an available USB port on your computer!Directions tell you to plug the unit in by itself to charge it up, before connecting your devices. Lucky for me, mine was already fully charged, so my setup only took a few minutes. I don't know how long it would take to charge it up fully from a depleted state, so don't expect to put it right to use, just out of the box. Afterall who knows how long yours was packaged and sitting on a shelf somewhere before it was shipped to the store, and/or to you.The only drawback I can foresee is that not all power plugs are shaped the same and you may find yourself doing some fancy maneuvering of power plugs on the back of this device, to make sure you connect all that you want to. Large/Wide power plugs attached at the top, or in the center, may block access to the coax and/or phone line ports. I don't use any coax connections so I didn't mind blocking one of mine.As always, keep the instruction book, as it contains information about how to order replacement batteries for this unit.

I bought this UPS because I live in a rural area where squirrels like to use the power poles a little too much and storms like to target the lines since there's nothing else to hit apparently. The unit arrived and I set it up which was easy enough and took less than five minutes, most of which was untangling my cords and setting them up to look decent. The UPS will work as a standalone unit without any hassle, just make sure to hook up your important things to the side that will keep running if the power is interrupted.If you are using it for your computer I recommend installing the software on the included CD because it will give you a simple to use control panel and monitoring utility for the UPS. It will also allow you to automatically power your computer off at a given time which would be useful if you have overnight operations for your system but don't want to leave it on all night. The monitor is nice because it lets you see if you had any incidents even if you weren't around.Within a week of buying, the unit proved itself in both a test where I hit the circuit breaker and in a real life incident by a suicidal squirrel who got zapped. In both cases the UPS acted flawlessly without any hesitation and in fact service was so smooth that the only reason I knew it had activated was because the room lights which aren't on it flickered and the front panel lit up brightly while beeping at me.I'm very pleased with the compact size and design of this, but you might want to look at a lower capacity if price is an issue. I use a higher end gaming system and an old CRT monitor, plus I have a ton of other items plugged in and even with everything running at full blast, my total usage isn't even half of the rated load for this UPS. A laptop user especially won't come near the rated maximum limit for this, but if you need power and lots of it, this is the one you want.Update: I've been using this for a few months now and it definitely has been worth the money. I've had a couple of more suicidal squirrels, a couple of lightning bolts, and even a guy who couldn't text and drive at the same time so he hit a power pole instead. This unit has held up nicely.

tl;dr: Failed after two weeks due to a non-battery issue. Customer support send me back to Amazon. Amazon shipped a new replacement, no return required.I bought this about 2 weeks ago, and it worked fine! It worked perfectly, keeping my PC and monitors on while there was a brief power outage (before the campus backup generators kicked on). However this morning, I was startled awake by this buzzing sound. For a second, I thought that the power went out for some reason again, but I didn't hear our backup generators on, and I noticed my alarm clock and electric heater in my room still worked. Upon further inspection, I saw that my router and PC (that were connected to the battery side of the UPS) were off!As I looked at the display, it said that there was a low supply voltage (~96 volts), and that the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) was turned on. I was really confused, until the UPS emitted a solid tone alerting that the battery was at a critically low voltage, and then quickly shut off. I unplugged everything from the UPS, plugged it straight into an available power strip, and turned on my PC to see if the PowerPanel software that the UPS came with could help me understand what was happening more. Upon inspection, I was able to confirm that the UPS was detecting massive voltage swings from ~96 volts to ~115 volts (of course before the unit auto shut off again due to low battery voltage).I am an Computer Engineer, and I love tinkering with electronics, so I pulled out my multimeter and tested the batter inside the UPS. The battery was definitely low at around 8 volts (it was a 12 volt battery). I also tested my power outlets to see if there was really a crazy power fluctuation, and I didn't detect anything wrong (the supply voltage from an adjacent outlet was ~115 volts). In conclusion, I realized that the UPS had failed somehow.I called CyberPower customer support, and after giving them some information about the device and the problem, they told me to talk to the original reseller for a replacement (some bad customer support if I do say myself). Luckily, Amazon saved the day with their amazing customer support, and promptly shipped me a replacement for free without even having to return this defective unit (maybe I can still use the battery for something). I'll give CyberPower another try, but if this new unit fails on me again, I'm taking my business elsewhere.

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.

Muy bien el producto, no he tenido molestia alguna.

TLDR: Works with my Active PFC PSU (Corsair HX650, SeaSonic X-650W and XFX 650W XXX, it also functions perfectly with the SeaSonic X650), provides roughly 35m of idle battery time, under load this drops to about 10m or less depending on what I am doing (OCCT & FurMark).I purchased this product after looking for a UPS to protect my $2000 PC, at first I spent the first few days researching brands and features, I came to the conclusion that APC was the best but was also much more expensive as a result, Cyberpower was equally good in terms of quality but due to being lesser known they didn't have the premium APC carried but offered near identical product offerings. After I figured out which brand I was settling on I spent a few hours searching up information on Active PFC power supplies and UPS's, most people said they wouldn't work or that I needed to get a pure sinewave UPS offering which would have made the unit cost 50% more.I have an Active PFC (APFC) power supply in my PC, the Corsair HX650, this unit functions correctly with the Cyberpower UPS I purchased, the only people that seem to have issues are those which have power supplies made by Antec (Lower-end models) or Enermax. Upon researching this I found an interesting article on JonnyGuru (http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3964) which based on the first supply was more than enough proof to make me confident in my purchase.I tested this unit with OCCT and Prime95 running and both were causing my PC to shoot up to 150w of usage, I unplugged my PC during these stress tests and nothing shut down, I also tried doing this with FurMark running which causes my usage to go up to around 225w and I still had an estimated run time of 10 minutes with a total charge of 65% on the battery. I am impressed by this to say the least as the battery backup was a secondary feature I wanted and the main feature I purchased this for was it's AVR which is causing my voltage to be stable and not rapidly change from 113v - 123v every minute or so.I have the following PC specificationsIntel Core i5 4690k (4.5GHz)Gigabyte GTX 760 OCCorsair HX650Western Digital Blue 1TB Hard Drive (7.2k RPM)Crucial MX100 128GB SSDBenQ GL2450 24" LED MonitorBenQ GL2460 24" LED Monitor- This PSU has Active PFC- This UPS is not a Pure Sine Wave model- The estimated run time with 225w is between 10 - 14 minutes- The UPS smells like new plastic- The UPS is dead silent except when it is using it's battery which causes a noticeable hum for both the PSU and UPS- The AVR functions correctly and is quiet while doing so!- There is a self test function with the included software download for PowerPlan Personal Edition

i bought this product to keep my communications up and running during power outages or disaster times where we have encountered major power failure due to snow here in Edmonton as well as if we ever have flooding like Calgary with a load of about 250 watt's i found the battery to last about 16 min which typically not enough so what i did was i removed the 4 screws at the bottom and removed there battery there connections are simple female blade connectors i drilled to small holes through the caseing and ran some 12 gauge wire through the side and attached blade connectors on the end and screwed it back together then attached it to 2 absorbed glass matt 100 amp hour battery's in series my whole office / radio room is wired in the case of any emergencyproviding power to my computer/ my modem / optionally a wireless router however in power failures it's hardly used a small desk lamp and a few other items I also have my Icom 7000 hooked up to the battery banks (ham radio) i mean i could have built the same thing with a trickle charger a battery bank and a inverter but why when this unit will do it for me and give me so many other options :) though i had wished that they could sell chassis or higher watt versions fairly cheap
