The SmartPro LCD UPS has the power to take over in an emergency. The unit has sufficient voltage to see a heavy duty work station through a power outage and provide the ability to shut down properly.
Line interactive demonstrated during load test of 8kw generator. Natural Gas vs Propane fuel source compared using data logging and graphing capabilities of ups system.
I use this as a battery backup for my long arm quilting machine. It shows me how much battery time is left if I lose power and I like the different screens of information that's available for the input and output of power. It is a great investment!
As this is for "Emergency" use, simply to give enough power until shutdown, I have 3 towers and one monitor hooked up to the backup side. Also, several other "surge protection only" items are plugged in. Seems to be operating in a flawless manner.
Works great as a surge protector/UPS but the cable loop through blocked several channels on my cable internet. We were experiencing download speeds of less than 100kb/s with uploads 10 times that. Our cable tech showed us the data channels that were being blocked by this system. Useless for protecting modern data cables. Also, the manual was obviously intended for non North American users with line voltages in the 220 range. I would recommend to a friend who did not have cable internet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am using this UPS to back up and protect my main desktop and the cable modem and wireless router, the latter two being frequent failure points here in the desert. I received this product for Christmas. It was in service the next day. The ONLY problem I noticed was that the manual was apparently written for an area with 220 VAC service. This was disconcerting but close examination of the box showed it was indeed North American standard. This cost you a star Tripp-Lite.
I would buy this line of products over others offered.

Excellent product. Never had a problem with Tripp-Lite products. I bought this over several other choices that I saw that were cheaper but were considered inferior to this particular device.
I purchased this product to protect my office computers in the event of a power outage. Thankfully I have not had an power issues, however if I did I have complete Peace of Mind that my Tripp-Lite will work without any issues. It was very easy to setup and is so quite that you never even are aware that it is running and keeping my technology and work safe!
