Great UPS for your home office...

After spending some time researching an uninterruptible power supply we decided to purchase the Tripp-Lite 1500VA. It offers stable power when the voltage isn't consistent and has the ability to replace the internal batteries, which not all UPS devices offer. This UPS 1500VA has definitely helped on quite a few occasions, since purchasing it 7 months ago, when the breaker to our apartment has tripped and we've lost power. We have a desktop and monitor, laptop and NAS attached to the continuous power outlets and did not notice any fluctuation and/or changes to the supplied power to these devices when the power went out. The ability to attach the NAS to the UPS to trigger an automatic shutdown of the NAS is an added bonus for this Tripp-Lite UPS. The Tripp-Lite 1500VA is the first UPS that we have owned and are very pleased with this purchase. If you are in the market for a new or replacement UPS, then this is definitely a good buy. If you don't have a good cord management for your UPS, then I'd recommend that you check out the Etekcity 10 Pack Power Extension Cord Cable, Outlet Saver, 3 Prong, 16AWG 13A, UL Listed (Black, 1 Foot).

Excellent voltage regulation and battery backup.

I am very happy with this UPS. I did quite a bit of reading before I purchased it because of some of the mixed reviews. I'll cover the ones it seemed were mentioned the most. First: odor. When I first plugged mine in it had a VERY SLIGHT odor for the first couple weeks. I would pretty much have to be sitting right next to it to notice. Second: noise. The fan can hardly be heard when it's running and the unit is virtually silent all other times. Third: Heat. Mine has never been more than barely warm to the touch. Fourth: brightness. The display is what I would describe as a cool blue in color. It doesn't shine light in and of itself so it doesn't light up the room. So unless it is directly in your line of sight while laying in bed with the room completely dark, I wouldn't consider it an issue. Fifth: Output. I noticed some people are concerned about the unit having a pulse modulated sine wave. From what I've read, unless you are running very voltage-sensitive devices such as medical equipment, the output of the unit will work just fine for home electronic equipment. Like anyone else who just purchased a UPS, one of the first things I did was unplug it so it would run on battery power and see how my computer acted. I have a 4Ghz cpu o/c to 4.6 with a 980ti video card running 3dMark11 at max settings pulling about 600 watts and I ran it for about 10 minutes and it didn't even blink so I'm confident that the juice being supplied is clean enough for a pc. Lastly, I live in a very rural area (my address is a rural route!) so we have our share of power fluctuations/outages. This unit proved is worth the other day when out of nowhere the lights dimmed and flashed for a second (resetting the microwave of course) and freaking out the printer. The unit reacted instantly and the computer didn't notice a thing. Voltage line conditioning was one of the main features I was looking at when I was shopping for a UPS. This one already proved it's mettle in that area for me. In the end, if you are looking for excellent voltage protection/backup for your home computer/electronic equipment, I highly recommend this product.

Really like the display screen, solid unit

I’ve worked as a Telco network technician for many years, and have installed many UPS units on network EQ and phone systems on my job. So when I bought a UPS for my home network I was picky. I went with the Tripp Lite 1500VA 900W because of the shape/size and excellent display screen. I’m very happy with it, this is the first time I’ve been involved with Tripp Lite UPS and the product seems solid. Yes it had a “new” smell for a few days but it wasn’t that bad to me and in a couple of days it was gone. There is no fan noise (unless it is in battery mode) when running unlike some of the older Minuteman Pro UPS’s where a fan runs all the time. I draw less than 100 watts on the unit so the load meter shows 0% (this size unit has to have at least a 100 watts draw to show load). I oversized it so I could have extra runtime when the power is out. I especially like the box like profile as opposed to the tall APC units. I plan on buying 2 more of these soon to replace my aging Minuteman PRO700E units.

It's alive! Wow. Great UPS. I may say buh-bye APC\CyberPower. See update.

11/03/16: I can't give it 5 stars until it has been tested with outages, handling the stated load for x time, handling surges. We buy this brand, APC, and Cyberpower. They all seem to operate basically the same and we just get the one that is on sale if we need it. Our first unit arrived damaged and was shipped in e retail box. The box itself did not look too bad, but upon opening the two end Styrofoam "protectors" were broken (not badly as I have seen worse). When I pulled the unit out one side was split open along the seam. Okay this has obviously been roughed up a bit. Contact Amazon via online process to return\exchange and system said it is not eligible for return. Uh oh! So I went right to chat. It is not eligible for return because of weight and hazmat (batteries). I had the option of Amazon credit or get a new one shipped. I opted for the replacement. TY AMAZON! I was worried that I did not go to a brick store to get a device like this. I opened up the broken unit and a big chuck of plastic on the inside was broken (about a 2"x@' piece). Appears to be part of the batter bracket holder. So you know this unit was dropped or something big time. Glad I am getting another sent :) Next unit arrived inside another box and only had that flimsy scrunched packaging paper on one side. This also had hazard stickers on it when the other did not. The retail box was banged up a bit more (heart sank). I opened and the two end pieces were broken pretty bad, but did not have any pieces fall of. So the actual unit looked undamaged. Opened up the unit and no broken pieces on the inside (Yay!). Powered on and pressed test button and no faults. Unit was 85% charged and left it plugged in overnight with no device. Fully charged. So we will see how things go :) Update: 09/01/2017. Original title "Time will tell. Rocky start ;)" .. Well it has performed as stated when we had power outages, brown outs, and surges. Nothing catastrophic to where it blew up and saved my attached devices. This device has won me over. I hope their other UPS products are the same caliber. I have used their surge protector strips\blocks for years and some are still kicken at 15+ years or more. If this is made of the same quality. All I should ever have to do is replace the batteries. So I am looking forward to many years with this product and will look at replacing my other units I have throughout the house.

No problems and plenty of power for my PC

I bought the 1300 VA version for my new gaming PC and ultrawide monitor. My PC is a Z390 based i7-9700k machine that is overclocked and water cooled with a single RTX-2080. I am running an 850W Corsair gold power supply (RM850) but am probably only drawing around 300W at most. My monitor is a 34" Acer Predator X34p. There is a little load indication bar on the display (lower right) of this UPS that shows you how much it is loaded. It is just like a signal bar on a cell phone, maximum is 5 bars. When my system is idling with the monitor sleeping it shows 1 bar of load. During heavy gaming or benchmarking it is at 3 bars. I can't get it to go over 3 bars. This isn't my first UPS but was the simplest. It was fully charged when I received it. All I did was take it out of the box, plop it on my desk, plug everything in (including the USB 2.0 cable from UPS to PC) and thats it. It came almost fully charged out of the box and everything just worked. With the USB cable connected to my PC it shows a battery life indication in my system tray, just like when a laptop is running on battery power. The biggest thing with UPSs is how well the battery holds up over time and how long it is able to power my PC during an outage. I've only had it for a couple weeks and haven't had an outage so this review most certainly could change. But so far its been perfect and it is by far the cheapest one of this size. Tripp Lite has a good reputation too.

Seems to be working. Hopefully keeps it up! [consider extension cables so you can use all the power ports without overcrowding.]

I purchased this 810W 1500VA Tripp Lite to help with Media/Gaming PC instability and TV black screens on an upstairs circuit with over a dozen outlets on it, which is taking occasional heavy load due to A/C & Heating. So far it seems to be helping my brownouts and dirty power issues a good deal. My Logitech g19 keyboard and 42" Vizio are still slightly prone to EM interference so they still flicker and disconnect or restart when things like electric spark lighters are used near them, but I don't think much can be done about that beside replacing them. My PC and TV stability is definitely up 50%+ though. Hopefully I can now rest easier and chase out the rest of the rats from my house wires without worry of my PC being taken out in the process of troubleshooting. I bought this a 10 pack of GYMAN 1ft. three prong extension cables for 10$ so no outlets would get covered up and be unusable. I only wish the screen would dim or off, I have taped a black card to the front of it to flip up and down as needed to fix this design flaw.. Pictures attached-

Outstanding Voltage Regulation and Power Backup

We upgraded every aspect of our home-office network six months ago -- better ISP, faster router, faster shielded ethernet cables, new desktop computer, the works. As a part of that upgrade, we also purchased the Tripp Lite 1500VA 900W UPS to regulate voltage and to provide a battery backup for our router. I've come to trust Tripp Lite products over the years and this was no different. Right out of the box, this UPS fulfilled all expectations. Competently cushioned to protect the package during shipment. Sturdy construction. Easy set-up. Straight-forward directions supplemented by a helpful Tripp Lite website. I was at first concerned that the UPC's meter was alerting me to a problem with my home's electrical wiring because, on the afternoon I installed it, the voltage registered at only 115 volts, instead of the expected reading of 120. As I learned, and have witnessed during more than six months of use, the nominal (and optimal) home voltage is 120, but actual voltage can sometimes fluctuate depending on the level of demand placed on the power grid. For example, in the late afternoon during a midwestern heatwave when everyone has fans and air conditioners running at high speed, I've seen the meter dip as low as 114. In contrast, cold, winter Sunday mornings have produced readings as high as 123. This is perfectly normal and precisely why you should have a device such as this to regulate voltage for your most sensitive electronics. Honestly, it's hard to get excited about equipment that doesn't make anything shine brighter or sound better or look prettier. The best a UPC can do is make you forget it's there, until you really need it, at which point you will either appreciate it, or wish you'd hadn't skimped.

On My Second One

The unit is guaranteed for 3 years. We had another of our brown-outs here in Florida, one of the hundreds over the years. Today - the battery decided it had had enough. I was horrified - I thought i'd purchased it just a year or so ago. Turns out, the unit was purchased April 2014, and I haven't had to think about it since then I can count on 1 hand, with fingers to spare, the number of electronic devices that have been headache free - and for so many years. Just ordered the same one as a replacement. Why mess with a good thing.

Worth every penny.

I've had a pair of these for closing in on 3 years. One of them recently failed to keep my connected devices online through a brown-out, so I contacted support. Much to my surprise, they have a 3 year warranty. Yes I know it's in the description, but I just expected it to be 1, maybe 2 years when I called, because that's usually what you should expect out of these batteries. The technician had me run a few tests; all of which appeared to pass, but since it didn't want to kick off the self test (might have been user error), and the fan would never stop running, and it failed to survive a brown-out... He wasted no time in sending a replacement anyway. I have an APC 1500 supporting my network gear, and has been kicking for over 4 years without issue. And these Tripp Lite's have served me equally well I'd say. I greatly appreciate the smooth consistent voltage it puts out, the informative display gives the nerd in me all the important stats I need. And the close to true Sine output it gives has pleased the most sensitive of electronics I've connected to it. This unit saved a high end gaming system from a massive surge due to a hot/neutral short on the service wire to my house that even fried my whole house surge protector in the circuit panel. Which is probably what killed the unit getting replaced, but my high-end computer worth far more than the UPC is alive because of it. As you can see, I take protection of my electronics very seriously. Here's my point. APC units are AMAZING! And you pay dearly for them. If you're trying to find an alternative that's a few bucks cheaper, but you don't want to shoot yourself in the foot for reliability and quality.. You can rest assured that the Tripp LIte line will serve you equally well and save you a few Washington's. When it comes to protecting 100s of $$ of computer equipment, or you cannot suffer the briefest of outages; you do NOT want to get a cheap unit that will fail when you most need it (coughBelkinCough). But at the same time, you of course don't want to wastefully blow your hard earned cash on simply a name brand and cross your fingers it will be there when you need it. You need something proven, dependable, and worth it's price tag. You will NOT have buyers remorse if you go with Tripp Lite, and the day it saves your electronics (not if, but WHEN); you'll be a believer as well. I now have 4 UPC units (a mix of APC and Tripp Lite, all 1500VA units) protecting my hi tech home and I do not regret a single purchase. These are quality products, and the company stands behind them. Be aware, that 1500 might look like infinite amounts of energy, as it is the highest single consumer VA rated unit... It will give a powerful computer and monitor about 15-30 minutes of life before shutting them down (if properly setup to do so, SMART units only). If you're home when it happened and that low battery beep is going off, you've got time to save your work and gracefully shutdown your system. I run a pair of UPC units behind my most critical system. Don't expect to finish that Breaking-Bad marathon in a black-out with one or even two of these.

Quick Generator Test

We live in an area where our power has been going out more frequently each year. So we tested five units on generator power. With the generator running (Westinghouse 7500e), the test is with approximately 3000 watts running the house...... APC BE550G continually clicked over to the battery (back and fourth). CyberPower CP1000AVRLCD, CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD, and APC BR1000G all accepted the generator power until I turned on the microwave. Then the units continually clicked over to the battery (back and fourth). Tripp Lite Smart1300LCDT was the only one that accepted the generator power and stayed on the generator power even when I turned on the microwave. In other words, the Tripp Lite did not continuously flip over to the battery and back again, it stayed on the generator power. We went with the Tripp Lite because the AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) was the most consistent and stable of the group we tested. If running sensitive electronics on generator power, you might want to look into 'on-line' UPS. Using Imac I did not have to install the software.....it automatically recognized the unit. I love Amazon, but was sad to see the item was 'non-returnable'. We bought it from Staples because they matched Amazon's price and we could return the item just in-case something didn't work right. **Edit January 2015: Had it for 1 year now, and still very happy with the product. Also noticed that Amazon has changed their return policy, and is now allowing the product to be returnable. **Edit January 2016: Had it for 2 years now, and still very happy with the product. Original batteries are still going strong.
