Alright.

Found this CyberPower UT 850VA – because apparently, even our power needs a backup plan now. It guarantees power protection for computers, networking gear, and storage stuff – as if my power has a VIP section for electronic gadgets.

It adopts line-interactive topology with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) function – are we launching a spaceship or just trying to keep the lights on? I just want my computer to stay alive, not attend a tech convention.

The patented GreenPower UPS™ Bypass design – they're talking about patents for a power thing. I just want my electricity to work, not win a legal battle. Ultra-low power consumption – are we on an electricity diet now? I just want it to power my stuff, not calculate its calorie intake.

It reduces energy costs – because apparently, my power bill needs a diet plan too. I just want to use my computer without breaking the bank. Allows a lower operation temperature – are we air conditioning our power now? I just want it to work, not become a weather forecast. Also extends battery lifespan – I didn't know batteries had a lifespan. I just want them to keep going, not attend a retirement party.

In summary, if you want your power backup to sound like a high-tech superhero with low power consumption and temperature control, this thing might be your electricity's personal trainer. As for me, I just want my power to stay on without needing a user manual.

          I've watched half a dozen Eaton UPSes fail within a few months over the course of last year. Every brand has something wrong with them. Agreed about APC though.

      Replace the battery, after 5-6 years it's most likely shot. It's really easy on your model, too (I've got the 750VA version of yours, it was doing random beeps when the battery got old).

        This will be a fraction of an equivalent new APC or Eaton model, which given the low criticality of the use case seems the best route.

    One of the best "perks" of these things is they are generally extremely good last-line-of-defence surge protectors.

    Sure. Lightning might kill your breakers, your wiring, your house, and this unit but it probably won't make it to your PC.

  • My APC Schneider UPS failed recently. But the service to get a replacement was excellent. Received the new one in 8 days. I am not sure what service CyberPower provides but it's something to consider.

    • From their distro to my door I've found.

    • is it still under warranty period?

  • I bought one of these for $1 at an Officeworks affiliated clearance store… it was good

    Everyone should have price trackers installed, it's price was reduced by $7, now it's back to $7 higher, no need to make impulse purchases over such little savings. Can research the market if you need a UPS

      people come here to save money then brag about all the useless stuff they've bought and never used
