Review: Had this for 12 hours and LOVE IT! Better performance than my 10 yr old UPS battery - 5/5 Rating Pros Can handle large loads of power Easy to connect and register LCD Digital Display 8 plug outlets Takes up small space Cons HEAVY!!! The outlet plugs on the back are very close together, it's tough to use all the plug outlets Pricey I operate a small business as well as do tons of research with my custom built computer. I have dual 32 inch monitors that takes up a lot of power. I am quite sure I draw more power than most. My previous UPS back up battery served me well until I got the monitors, now 3 times a month I get an overload on my UPS and the noise won't go off until I unplug all outlets. It's grown to be a pain. Until this arrived. First impression - It's HEAVY!! Once you get it out the box you see it has a small form factor which is good. It can lay under the desk or to the side. I like that it has 8 outlets but they are so close together you can't plug anything that has a large plug without taking up two spots. I plugged everything I had in my 10 yr old UPS and the load is only at 25% on this. I love it. It was easy to register, I haven't used much of the advanced features but I will slowly get into it. So far so good. I'm very impressed with the quality and ease of use. I will update my review after using for awhile.
Review: Nice, but HEAVY - I purchased this unit to protect a 2019 Mac Pro, which benefits from the pure sine wave output as opposed to the simulated sine wave on other models, which may eventually cause issues with the power supply. This unit is very heavy, weighing almost 60 lbs. It was hard to maneuver into a media cabinet, but otherwise, set up was a cinch. I just plugged in all of my peripherals, connected the UPS to the network via ethernet, and plugged in the USB-A cable from my Mac to the UPS. After turning the unit on and setting up the UPS via a simple wizard that asks basic questions on the LCD screen, everything powered up and my Mac automatically recognized the UPS without any additional software. I was able to configure the UPS shutdown parameters via System Preferences > Energy Saver > UPS. - FYI, the batteries were about 87% charged when the unit arrived, but they are now up to 99%. - There is an off putting chemical smell when you first remove and use the UPS, but it dispersed after a couple of days. - Operation is silent. I haven’t heard any fan noises or beeps from this unit so far. - FYI, the 2019 Mac Pro connected to this unit has 16 cores and an AMD Vega II graphics card, but even at full load, it uses about 50% of this UPS’s capacity. There is also a Caldigit TB3 dock and LG Ultrawide display attached. So far, I am happy with this UPS, but I’m not looking forward to carrying this heavy unit out of the cabinet in 3-4 years to replace the batteries.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ long runtime
*by P***E on August 25, 2023*

This is my third unit like this and all 3 are working great. I like them because they have a long run time if the power goes down for a while and they use inverters to generate the 120v when it is running. They just quietly grind away in the background with no issues.
