Thinking of buying? Factor in two month wait.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I ordered a replacement 1500 VA unit almost one month ago. The order is still open and support is predicting another month. If I did not have a substantial investment in replacement batteries I would be heading to another manufacturer. I would give zero stars if that were possible.
Cons: Part Failure, Lacking Vendor Support
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback about our SMT1500CUS. Unfortunately we are experiencing a national wide materials shortage which has affected our stock. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

Deployed three of these in a Datacenter Environment where additional AC lines could not be run.
Great Lan/Wan connectivity, though the SmartConnect Software could be a bit more user friendly.
Pros: Good Vendor Support, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
Cons: Difficult Management
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have bought two of these for a client in the food processing industry to run some motors for 15 minutes until they could complete shutdown.
Very robust and quality made - heavy duty. Great!
Pros: Easy to Perform Maintenance, High Quality, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
Cons: Runs Hot
I would recommend this to a friend!
