CyberPower PR3000LCD Smart App Sinewave UPS System, 3000VA/2700W, 10 Outlets, AVR, Tower

I've had this for a bit over a month. I have a tower PC with a 1000-watt power supply, and 6 monitors. As it is, it's only using 300 watts, but this UPS would handle it all if the power supply was running at full load, with power to spare. Its estimated run time is over an hour with ~300 watts load, but I have it set up to shut the PC down after 15 minutes of lost power. That way if the lights aren't off long, the PC stays on, and it doesn't drain the batteries. It's done that a couple of times so far with no issues. It's also had to adjust for low and high line voltages during that time. Since Beryl came through, power hasn't been stable here. This unit makes it stable. I really like the removeable display that I can mount where it's easy to view, and the information I get from it. The PowerPanel software makes it easy to change settings and keeps a record of events. This is overkill for a laptop, but worth protecting a few thousand dollars worth of equipment. Be sure to read the manual to get the full benefit of all the features. I'd definitely buy another one, but I really don't need a second one yet.

This review is for the 1500VA model. Unfortunately Amazon tends to lump completely different products into the same review set. Features mentioned here may not be present on all models.This UPS hits above its weight class. Actually that's not true because it's h-e-a-v-y thanks to the large capacity internal batteries. Where it's light is on the wallet.By dividing the battery watt hours by the cost this is one of the highest capacity per dollar UPS systems out there. (I only included 1500VA models in my search.) In addition to it being a price/capacity leader it also has a top line feature set as well.It's a true sine wave UPS that is silent when both in standby mode and while charging the battery. No hum (as compared to another CyberPower favorite the CPS1500AVR) or fan at all. While charging the UPS may initially draw close to 60 watts but that gradually drops to about 3-5 watts when the battery is completely charged. Estimated runtime on about 180 watts is roughly 2 hours. I have not tested that estimate.It's attractive, or about as attractive as a large box filled with batteries can be. The front panel LCD lights up but the back light turns off which is something to be thankful for if you have it located somewhere you'd like to be dark. Between the acoustics and lighting it can be used in fairly sensitive areas.A nice surprise was the non-critical load (NCL) outlets. There are four critical and four non-critical battery backed outlets on the back of the UPS. Through the panel the non-critical outlets can easily be configured to shut down before the critical load outlets. So devices in the non-critical can be set up to cleanly shut down upon power loss and critical devices can stay running for as long as the large capacity batteries hold up. This behavior is optional.The few negatives that I can see mostly center around the UPS's robust feature set. The CyberPower software does not allow control of all of the features of the UPS. This means that front panel button mashing is required to properly configure all of the features. And that process is a bit fiddly. Also due to all of the features it might be a little difficult to configure properly. The documentation is not terribly clear on what some of the settings are. It would be very helpful if all features could be configured through the companion software.The one serious negative is that CyberPower seems to be getting in on the "battery replacement game". In the past CyberPower has been very clear about what batteries were in the UPS so they were easy to source and replace. Now they're assigning them proprietary numbers and sticking them together in 'modules' so they can sell replacements themselves. The only reason I'm not taking off stars for these shenanigans is that I expect when the time comes they'll be very standard batteries that will be easy to replace myself.

I have a threadripper 3970x workstation and this had saved me a few times from the occasional power cut off late at night.One night at about 2am I was working on a script, haven't saved in a few hours and the power shit off. I didn't even realize it happend for a few seconds because this kept my entire set up running seamlessly. Power turned on a few mins later, but still allowed me to save and properly shut down.I've had this for about 3 months and do not regret it.

Some background about me - I've worked in IT since 1999 for small and medium sized companies and managed service providers (MSPs). IT services, power equipment, datacenter, and networking are my primary skills.I live in an area where power is less reliable in the summer months, and more reliable during the winter months. Therefore, I have UPSes on all of my electronic equipment. I chose one CyberPower PR1500LCDN to replace two TrippLite SMART1500LCD. This turns out to be a wise choice for several reasons:1) The battery runtime of this 1500 is at least 2x longer than the tripplite 1500 model2) The battery useable life is rated at 4 years, where the AGM SLA batteries in other models are 2 years3) The NMC is a real NMC, fully fledged with complete feature set, including GUI, CLI, and SNMP options.4) The NMC can be connected to CyberPower Cloud, which is great, compared to AMC SmartConnect5) The detachable front display is useful - can hide the UPS, yet still see how it's performing6) Can control 2 loads - "Critical Load" and "Non-Critical Load", with configurable NCL shutdown options7) CyberPower cloud has enough options, subscriptions, and features to be actually useful for reasonable $8) The output is pure sine wave, and that's a huge plusThe feature set of this UPS exceeded my expectations that I didn't know I needed to have or care about. The ability to have the UPS run a non-critical load for a certain amount of time and turn that load off at an earlier point in time is awesome. This allows a critical load to run longer while turning off things that don't absolutely need to stay powered on. For example a laptop could be plugged into a non-critical load bank, set to a power off delay interval up to 30 minutes, and then turn off the NCL, extending battery runtime for the critical load. Neat.I like the security options, encryption cipher selection, operation configuration options. It's really great compared to TrippLite and APC. CyberPower has come a very long way in the last 25 years and upped their professional game. Very happy with the purchase and looking forward to 8+ years of useable life.
