Works well, but the LCD panel is defective across all 3 units
I own three of these (CP1500PFCLCD) purchased between 2016 and 2018. I know... they're "old". (Technology isn't supposed to last right?!) They all work well, although 1 of the 3 during a brief power outage yesterday (less than 1 minute) decided to turn off immediately, signaling it was time for a battery replacement (although there were no warning signs and all tests seemed to say I should have 25 minutes of juice left).Fortunately I had a spare replacement battery ready to go, and it's back up and running and hopefully good for a few more years. Guess I need to check the other two, although they weathered the last outage without an issue.Anyway, my point is that while doing maintenance on these today, I noticed that the LED screen on all three of them have become dim to the point where you can barely see what is on them. I know they are supposed to go dim when inactive, but this is after interacting with the buttons. You can see how dim it is in my photo and somehow the camera makes it almost visible. To the naked eye, you can't make out what is on the screen at all.Kind of a bummer that this same issue is happening on all three of them that I own.I believe they're all "v2" models (they don't look like the current photos on this listing). Fortunately I can read their data over USB via NUT and other tools. Just wish I could see the panel with my own eyes. Can't find much online about how to go about repairing this, or if it is even worth trying.Thanks for listening to me complain.

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2024
Size: 1500VAStyle: UPSVerified Purchase
In the realm of power protection, the CyberPower stands out as a beacon of reliability and functionality. After several weeks of integrating this UPS into my home office setup, I'm compelled to share how this device has become an indispensable ally against power inconsistencies.

Unboxing and First Impressions:
The CP1500PFCLCD arrived in secure packaging, with every component snugly fit and protected. The unit itself exudes a sense of robustness and quality. Its compact, tower design is practical, easily fitting into a small corner without intruding on valuable space.

Setup and Ease of Use:
Setting up the CyberPower was straightforward, thanks to the clear instructions and intuitive interface. The LCD panel provides immediate access to vital stats like battery level, load capacity, and power conditions. Configuring settings and understanding the status of my power supply is now at my fingertips, a convenience I didn’t know I needed until now.

Performance and Protection:
The true value of a UPS is tested in the face of power fluctuations and outages. The CyberPower has faced several such challenges during my usage, from minor voltage fluctuations to a complete power outage. Each time, it performed flawlessly, providing uninterrupted power to my critical devices, including my desktop computer, dual monitors, and networking equipment. The pure sine wave output is particularly beneficial for my sensitive electronics, ensuring they are not only powered but protected.

Battery Life and Energy Efficiency:
The battery life on this UPS is impressive. During a complete power outage, it provided me with ample time to safely shut down my equipment, preventing potential data loss.

Pros:
High-quality construction and compact design.
Intuitive LCD interface for easy monitoring and control.
Exceptional performance during power fluctuations and outages.
Pure sine wave output for sensitive electronics.
Energy-efficient features that reduce power consumption.

Cons:
The unit is relatively heavy, which is understandable given its capacity but worth noting for those who may need to move it frequently.

Final Thoughts:
The CyberPower is more than just a UPS; it's a comprehensive power management solution that offers peace of mind. Whether for a home office, entertainment setup, or critical network equipment, its reliability, and feature set make it an excellent investment in the protection and longevity of your electronics.

Recommendation:
I wholeheartedly recommend the CyberPower to anyone in search of a top-tier UPS system. Its blend of performance, features, and value is unmatched, making it a wise choice for safeguarding your digital life against the unpredictability of power supply issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD 1500VA Pure Sine Wave-Cures MacPro Wake From Sleep Shutdown
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2011
Size: 1500VAStyle: UPSVerified Purchase
Purchased this CyberPower unit about month ago. Have 2008 MacPro 8 core 3. GHZ fully loaded internally that was running for last couple years along with assorted Monitors-(2), printer etc. Had been using an APC 1500 & APC 1000- splitting various thing around plugged in to either one to share load. A MDD dual processor was in the mix but it was always on the opposite power supply, not both on one APC unit. For the last 3 yrs have been enduring endless stupidity with these APC power supplies. They would shut down randomly & repeatedly EVEN if the MacPro was not the one on that particular power UPS.Although for the most part - the UPS that was on the MacPro would shut down. You could switch a light on in another room- even a 1 bulb 75 watt could essentially trigger one of the 2 APC units to shut down as if they were overloaded. They were not. House is newer & wired correctly with 12 gauge/20 amp romex wire everywhere for any normal 110v outlets & 8 gauge 50 amp for 220v outlets & 200 amp service. The 2 power supplies are on their own line by themselves-nothing else. I am very familiar with house wiring & have rewired several homes I've owned. All wiring in house is up to snuff done properly.

I tolerated this nonsense with these APC for years. They made absolutely no sense. I was aware at some point & positively as of recent reading that the 2008 MacPro's had PFC power supplies in them & that they would prefer pure sine wave power- as house current is. Even with that knowledge it still made no senses as to the random-regular weekly shutdown on the APC units with the computer asleep not even trying to wake or even having A TRUE power outage. The batteries checked out ALWAYS and if not hooked up to computer would work fine. If computer was awake & cut power they would hold system for as many minutes long as they were expected to. No problem. Just if asleep- turn light on anywhere in house- units sometimes/randomly cut out. If house current off & wake computers units shut down. Stupid really. Whats the point of the power supply ? (sounds like I am reviewing the APC's not CyberPower-right ?)Finally my MP had 8Gb of ram out of 16GB go bad. Had it replaced and I said that's it.

I mean really- the APC power supplies were shutting down on a almost weekly basis & there wasn't even any power failures- the units themselves were THE power failures.

Did as much research as possible regarding PFC power supplies & chose the CyberPower PFC 1500 unit. Cost more than the similar NON pure sine wave APC units. But cost quite a bit less than the Pure sine wave APC units. Who knows why APC charges so much for pure sine wave units. But after using their product probably for nearly 15 yrs- I was done.

The CyberPower unit is a GREAT unit. Have read various reviews about the power switch(on unit-on/off & menu) etc problem some are having with it-I don't get the problem. It is a bit of a different technique how the button operates- but I picked it up quickly. The current power draw in numbers of watts as well as load capacity being used on the LCD display is great. You have real-time readout if you chose to, as to those numbers. It's like having Kill-A-Watt meter always on. You get to see the basic power fluctuations of your components. The unit is very compact- somewhat smaller than the APC 1500/1000 units.

Right now connected with MacPro w/4 Hitachi 7200 rpm 64MB cache 3TB drives internal, ATI/Apple 5870 video card- w/3 24" monitors, epson 3800 printer, external OWC QX2 raid case w-4 hitachi 7200 rpm 32 MB cache 2TB drives & 2008 8 core MacPro booted off of that raid case along with MBP early 2011-17" plugged in but asleep, DSL modem, Dlink 8 port gigabit ethernet hub, 5th Gen AirPort extreme, MDD G/4 plugged in but off, the CyberPower shows a load of about 564 watts. That draw is confirmed accurate(slightly less actually for CyberPower unit itself not being in mix) if all were disconnected from CyberPower unit and plugged in- instead to the Kill-A=Watt meter. Everything asleep around 54 watts draw.

I can switch ANY combination of light/appliance/central a/c /55" plasma/electric 220v clothes dryer/3.5HP 220v air compressor/ 5500watt electric heater- 500 gallon spa w/dual pumps etc in any combination on or off with computers asleep, awake, getting awake, going to sleep. UPS functions PERFECTLY & as expected- stellar performance. NO random shutdowns-nothing. Cut power to unit while computers asleep-no problem. You know the conclusion here -right?

Pro's
* Economical, compact, nice looking
* PFC compatible- Pure Sine Wave unit.
* Operates flawlessly
* Cheaper than APC pure sine wave units
* Power consumption/load LCD is very useful if you like that sort of thing-I do
* 3yr warranty -same as APC

Cons
* Cost more than NON PFC compatible/Pure Sine Wave units
* CyberPower warranty/service- unknown quality yet. APC was/had excellent service

Conclusion.
Highly recommended, especially if you have any of the MacPro's. I imagine some on PC side have units that are PFC and would require pure sine wave to operate a UPS on those computers properly also. I will not ever buy a UPS that is not a pure sine wave unit again.

4.0 out of 5 stars CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD - Solid Performance with a Few Considerations
Reviewed in Canada on November 12, 2023
Size: 1350VAStyle: UPSVerified Purchase
The CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD has proven to be a reliable and efficient uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for my home office setup. The pure sine wave output provides stable power to my sensitive electronics, preventing disruptions during power fluctuations.

The LCD display is a handy feature, offering real-time insights into power conditions and battery status. The compact design and the variety of outlets make it versatile for connecting different devices. The inclusion of USB ports for charging is a thoughtful touch, adding extra functionality.

While the performance is commendable, the fan noise can be noticeable during heavy load situations. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's worth considering for those seeking a quieter UPS option. Additionally, the initial setup and customization using the LCD interface could be more user-friendly, requiring a bit of a learning curve.

In summary, the CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD is a solid UPS that delivers on performance and functionality. Despite a couple of considerations, it provides the peace of mind needed for safeguarding sensitive electronics. Four stars for its reliability, LCD display, and versatile design.

Works great. Tested it a few times by unplugging the main power cable and everything in my rack kept running.

It gives me an estimated 55 mins of runtime. I've got a server, a modem and a router plugged in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Too good of a buy to pass up!!!
Reviewed in Canada on August 2, 2022
Size: 1500VA RMStyle: UPSVerified Purchase
I'd been in need of a whole new UPS, as my smaller 350W ones from 2008 were now no longer charging batteries and would drop the second any type of power issue was detected so grabbing this as its then price of $400 for a 1500VA 1000W UPS was far too good to pass over. I have a 1500VA, 1500W CyberPower UPS for my homelab's rack, so I'm already a heavy fan of CyberPower.

Pro's: The unit isn't too heavy and it's shallow depth makes it ideal for limited space in a rackmount, and it doesn't bend the rack up. Ironically, my managed switch puts more of a wow in the rack posts than this unit does. o.O

User interface is generic, simple and easy-to-use. If you've used any UPS before then there's really no need to worry about display settings and how-to's.

It's got the new built-in green energy system that when the UPS is charged and not on battery, it auto-bypasses the transformer and reduces energy consumption and waste by 75%.

Unit switches over from utility to battery quickly, quietly and returns to normal just the same.

NO LOUD FANS! In fact, I didn't even notice let alone hear if there was even fans in this unit which is very nice! So bonus on it being ultra quiet!

Came to me with 92% full charge, so not a lot of time needed to fully charge it before putting it into production.

And last but most important of all: She has that beautiful and wonderful strong fresh/new electronics smell one can't help but admire and relish. That alone was worth the $400 ;)

Cons: Unit says default setting is MUTE when running on battery. They lie! ;) Easy fix, though!
The screws for the rackmount holes were too small for the back bolts on my rack, and I had to use the screws that came with my rack. You may have different results depending on your rack.
