Be careful of any Ritmo products. If you do any reading on Whirlpool you’ll see a lot of complaints about all sorts of their products. Had a powered USB hub from them once that didn’t even last a week. Whether I’d trust them with UPS duties is highly questionable.

Remember this UPS and other cheap UPS’s only output “simulated sine wave” not real sine wave.
This means the power it gives on battery isn’t great, but I read its not too bad, just not what I would personally want.

simulated sine wave isn’t much of a concern with computer equipment. it also has no direct relation to the power that an UPS could supply. ritmo may/maynot be an inferior product, but i dont know of any consumer UPS that supplies real sine wave.

agreed, whirlpool has blacklisted these

As above.

Until presented with independent testing that included dismantling and analysis of the components, I wouldn’t trust it to run a light globe let alone a computer.

i checked, someone has removed it from the wiki. because i am not a member of whirlpool i cannot see history of changed pages. run a search on it. Everyone is against the generic psu’s (ritmo/superflower and shaw)
