I lost a great computer to poor/dirty power because my previous UPS (by another popular brand) had quit working and I didn't know it. Now, with this product, that won't ever happen again. Better still, Tripplite's support has been OUTSTANDING! I'm not comfortable with electricity at all but they answered every question and gave support in terms I could understand and treated me very professionally. I am happy to recommend their products and service. Wish I could give 6 stars!
I live in Alaska. Where I'm out I have really bad brown power. The avr feature is the main reason I chose this product. I have had multiple power fluctuations that before would have shutdown my computer, now I just continue to work right through them.
Look no further. This is a SUPER HIGH QUALITY product that you CAN TRUST!. Do not be fooled by cheaper inferior products. They have been in business for about 95 years. Don't choose a marginal UPS that will let you down and cause you to loose your Operating System or data. I have been an electronics engineer since 1978 and concurrently in IT. If it's worth while to look into getting a UPS., it's important enough to get a QUALITY product. Nough Said! - kilocycle
If you have computers or other electronic gear that need clean reliable power then this is how you get it. Not only is it powerful enough to keep our computer running safely it provides clean regulated power. It was a breeze to operate and install, basically just plug in your stuff.
One mean powerful and necessary piece of equipment.

Although most users of UPS systems use their power back ups for computers, I use mine as well to protect and supply power to my DVR and cameras for my security system. The DVR used to require to be rebooted manually if the power died and that happened once while I was away from home for a few weeks. With the few power failures I have had since I installed this UPS, I haven't had an issue and it has given me piece of mind now on my extended trips.
I feel secure with this UPS protecting my equipment

As I am sitting here in my rural home the wind is blowing and the rain is driving sideways. Minutes ago while doing my daily business the power went out for a minute. No problem with the Tripp-lite battery backup on duty. I was able to complete my work with not so much as a hiccup. If you don't have your equipment protected you should. That small power failure could have been enough to take out my hard drive and leave me high and dry with months of work lost. Not to mention family pictures and other valuable data.
We have frequent blackouts where I work and work on a generator. The switch over from street energy to generator is smooth and you hardly notice the switch over.
Hardware seems reliable and quiet. Hardware and software technical support was excellent and essential for accurate setup and operation. Firmware could be enhanced to display communication status with external platform(s). Communication protocol between UPS and external platform could be enhanced to prevent immediate, non-graceful computer shutdown when USB cable is inadvertently disconnected. Instruction book could be enhanced to convey critical operational information, such as the necessity for firewall modication, more efficiently to entry-level users.
