What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Power panel lets you schedule a clean shutdown when the power goes off. It also has email notifications and control over when the pc will auto-shutdown. It's protected me through a number of power blips and gave me time to save my work on a major powe... Read More
The only downside on connectivity is that the telephone/modem protection ports do not support the standard bt connector (extension lead from socket), so that a (a)dsl splitter has to be placed between the socket and ups. It is a much cleaner and more ... Read More
There is a hum when the batteries kick in, but they kick in uninterrupted when i unplug the power. Clearly audible, but not intrusive. The alarm goes off to tell you when there’s a cut, so if you’re in bed it wakes you up.
Cyberpower br1000elcd comes with three uninterruptible sockets and three more anti surge sockets. The openreach fibre box, the router and the nas are on surge protection.
Installation is a breeze. Installation is straightforward and once you've worked it out from the rather sketchy instruction leaflet the display provides useful diagnostics.
Cons
Turning it on and off is a fuss, too, for some reason. And the instructions stated 8 plug sockets and there are obviously only 6 on the unit - this company is short of qc, despite being a big player in the ups world.

This isnt a long term review but the power was probably off more often than the average ups ever sees in its service life over the course of two weeks and i only noticed because of the audio alert

We returned the item for two reasons i the power switch did not switch off the unit consistently

Powered up fine however it would take several attempts to turn the power off and this was with not quick succession pressing

Before we had chance to plug in equipment we also found inside the instruction booklet included that this device is not recommended for imacs which require a pure sinewave output

We must have missed this in the online description before buying still cant find any reference so only found out after opening the box
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Curiously the box the unit arrived in uses an imac as an example of how long the unit can run for
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Weve sent the unit back for refund and have purchased a similar unit that offer pure sinewave output

Routed the power for 2 x synology nas and 1 x pc through the ups and end up with about 30 minutes of ups power should the mains fail
