Pros & Cons
Pros
Works flawlessly. Lets see how it behave in a few months.
Not had any power cuts or flickers yet but simulated by turning it off several times. Had no power issues in my office since - even though the house a flickered on and off.
This is the second time i am buying a cyberpower 1500pfclcd unit. This is a costlier unit compared to some other models with similar specs. It is far better designed than the apc one as noted elsewhere.
It properly shuts down each server and main computer to avoid data loss. There is a vm image for a cyberpower network management server which can help shutdown multiple * machines using agents.
Cons
Life is too short to constantly waste it on the phone and writing emails about faulty products. Returning it is also a right pain in the *.
Highlights
Quality
Replaced an old one that died and this has a superior display so easier to see what is going on.
It's a watercooled pc with 4 large radiators, 30 fans, and a lot of arbg leds.

Had one of these before, which unfortunately died shortly after (obviously!
Price
A little expensive, but worth every penny.
Shipping
The ups does not hum or get hot like my old apc backup.
Competitiveness
I have now bought another, in the belief that i was just unlucky last time: this is a well-featured and respected ups at this price level.

The monitoring software isnt working however

It connects fine to my pc but reports zero problems despite several outages over the few months i have been using it

Cyberpowers rather lame solution was that i should return the whole unit to amazon which hardly seems likely to be helpful given that its almost certainly a software not a hardware issue

Although the unit is quite large it does a good job saves a lot of frustration and lost of work if you are affected by power outages which can happen at any time from electrical appliances failing and tripping circuit breakers

I bought the 900w model and it works flawlessly but even 900w is barely enough for my gaming pc alone

Of course both the cpu and gpu are overclocked and when my pc runs at 100 load it draws 900 50w

So even though this ups is remarkable it barely manages to supply my pc at full load
