A great replacement for my previous UPS

This UPS works well, and is a good upgrade to my previous UPS device (which strangely never started again after carefully I changed out the then-current battery for the brand-new replacement, no matter how closely I followed the manufacturer's advice). This CyberPower unit has a couple more power sockets then the deceased APC unit, and has a surge suppressor for Ethernet cable, which is more important to me than the 'phone wiring surge suppressor in the old unit. There's also a USB port (and included cable) that lets me connect the UPS to a USB connector on my main computer, and without installing any software a control panel lets me adjust the parameters for computer and/or display sleep under mains power vs. battery power.The front-panel screen is easy to use, although I haven't bothered to make changes to the more advanced features yet. Apparently I'm drawing so little power from it (although I have at least 18 devices powered by it) that the display shows a power draw of zero watts / zero load and a runtime on battery of 450 minutes. Clearly that can't be completely accurate, but it's good to know that I've got a reasonable uptime figure on the battery-backed outputs.I chose this model partly because the taller/slimmer form factor is a good fit for where I placed it (where its predecessor was), on the inner floor of a desk cabinet with floor-to-desk height. There's enough airflow (I added a fan long ago), even with the door to the cabinet mostly closed. I tend to leave the equipment it's connected to turned on, and most of it goes into low-power mode after a period of inactivity. Although the UPS's display is set to dim after a while, the UPS isn't really going into sleep mode, which I gather would starve some of my active gear of power and cause abrupt shut-downs for the computing devices, so I'm leaving it that way. I haven't needed to contact the company's tech support folks, and I hope I never need to.I hope that this unit lasts a good long while, and won't expire when the battery needs to be changed. I have an older/smaller CyberPower unit, for which the recent battery change went flawlessly. So far so good, and I hope it stays good.Ver más

Reliable Backup Power for Work From Home

This portable power backup is compact and easy to use. The display is clear and the ports are convenient for different devices. I work from home, and power outages used to make me lose part of my work. During storms or even hurricanes, not having electricity meant I couldn’t keep working. This has been an excellent solution to keep my setup running and avoid interruptions. A very useful device if you depend on reliable power.Ver más

CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD3 Intelligent LCD UPS: Reliable, Quiet, and Feature-Rich Power Protection

The CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD3 Intelligent LCD UPS System (1500VA/900W, 12 Outlets, 2 USB Ports, AVR, Mini Tower, Black) is an exceptional uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for protecting electronics from power outages, surges, and voltage fluctuations. For my home office setup, including a desktop PC, monitors, and networking gear, this unit has delivered outstanding performance, easy setup, and quiet operation, making it a top choice for reliable power management.Packaging and SetupThe UPS arrived securely packaged, with the unit, 6-foot power cord, USB cable, and manual well-protected against damage. Setup was seamless, taking about 10 minutes. I plugged the UPS into a grounded outlet, connected devices to the 12 NEMA 5-15R outlets (six battery/surge-protected, six surge-only), and powered it on. The PowerPanel Personal Edition software (downloadable) installed effortlessly on my PC for detailed monitoring and customization. The two USB ports (Type-A and Type-C) were a welcome addition, allowing me to charge my phone and tablet directly from the unit.Design and Build QualityThe mini-tower design (23.8 lbs, 10.2”H x 3.9”W x 13.7”D) is compact and sturdy, fitting neatly under my desk. The multifunction LCD panel is a highlight, providing clear, color-coded data on load capacity, battery status, and runtime (green for normal, yellow for warning, red for faults). The Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) stabilizes minor power fluctuations without draining the battery, a crucial feature in my area with occasional brownouts. The unit’s simulated sine wave output works perfectly with my non-PFC power supply devices, and the durable black finish blends seamlessly into my office. Notably, the unit is very quiet, with no noticeable fan noise, even during battery operation, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments.PerformanceThe CP1500AVRLCD3 performed flawlessly from the start. I connected my desktop PC (estimated 300W load), a 27” monitor, router, and external hard drive to the battery/surge outlets, with printers and speakers on surge-only outlets. During a simulated power outage (unplugging the unit), it switched to battery power instantly, providing about 25 minutes of runtime at 350W—plenty for safe shutdowns. The AVR handled minor voltage dips effectively, preserving battery life. The LCD’s runtime estimates were spot-on, and the USB ports provided consistent charging. The unit’s self-test function (run on startup) confirms ongoing reliability, and I’ve had no issues despite frequent use. The three-year warranty and $500,000 Connected Equipment Guarantee add significant confidence.ProsEasy setup: Configures in minutes with user-friendly software.Informative LCD: Real-time, clear power and battery status display.Quiet operation: No noticeable fan noise, perfect for home offices.Ample outlets: 12 outlets (six battery/surge, six surge-only) for multiple devices.AVR functionality: Stabilizes voltage, extending battery life.ConsWeight: At 23.8 lbs, it’s not easily portable.Cord length: 6-foot power cord may require an extension in some setups.ConclusionThe CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD3 is a dependable, quiet, and feature-packed UPS for home offices or small setups needing robust power protection. Its straightforward setup, detailed LCD, silent operation, and AVR make it ideal for managing outages and fluctuations, while the USB ports and numerous outlets add versatility. Though slightly heavy, its performance and reliability make it a standout. Highly recommended for safeguarding electronics and ensuring data protection.

Saves your work

So far there has been a brief power outage but my desktop stayed on perfectly. Does exactly what its suppose to.

Ron Currie

Solidly built - Took over in power outage but needed external power to tun on once turned off.

Some things I learned about this UPS - perhaps similar for others1. The 6 battery backed sockets are very close together. The same is true of the surge-protected outlets. I ended up purchasing 8" extenders so all miscellaneous-sized plugs would fit.2. The first power outage was at 1:20 AM. We didn't need ongoing internet at that hour, so I powered off the device to save battery. Unfortunately, when I did want it on at 7AM and there was still no hydro it would not power on because there was no hydro. For now if this happens, probably the correct step is to remove the external load and leave the UPS on. I'm also going to test to see if a cheap inverter plugged into the car will give it enough for a kickstart. Perhaps as a last gasp I'll get a small generator to get it going again.3. The UPS does not power up automatically when power is restored if has become off, whether manually turned off or run out of battery. This requires human intervention to manually power on. In our case, since we stepped out while hydro was down and the UPS off, things like our internet did not come up until we got home, meaning we had no remote access to cameras and other household electronics. The workaround in this situation is to temporarily relocate router plugs to direct hydro outlets.4. Not UPS but the "PLUGTUL 14 Gauge Short Extension" cables that we ordered had a small lip around the plug that had to be partially trimmed off before they would sit side by side in the UPS sockets.When the power outage occurred the device showed there was an estimated 180 minutes of run-time. After I removed my laptop it went up to 280 minutes. Plugged in: Broadband router, home router, wireless hd and home phone.In the end I gave it 4 stars because there was no way to power it on without external hydro.Ver más

Review Title: Faulty CyberPower UPS Fried My Servers – Terrible Warranty Support

I purchased the CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD3 UPS in Canada, expecting reliable surge protection. Instead, it catastrophically failed internally, simultaneously frying the CPUs in all three connected servers (AMD Ryzen 7 5700G x2 and Intel Celeron) – no external surge or outage affected anything else in the house. This points to a defect in the unit itself.Worse, CyberPower's "Connected Equipment Guarantee" is a nightmare for Canadian customers. They demand shipping the heavy unit to Minnesota, USA, at my expense (~$100 CAD + duties), refusing any accommodations like prepaid labels, local testing, or even removing the user-replaceable battery to cut weight/costs. Claims Manager Shelby was unhelpful, rigid, and dismissive, repeating warranty terms without escalation or flexibility. The process feels designed to make you give up. Avoid CyberPower if you're in Canada – poor product reliability and abysmal cross-border support. Go with APC or Eaton instead.Ver más
