The SmartPro LCD 1500VA with the easy to read front display is an excellent product. Received just in time because of stormy weather causing power outages. The unit carried the computers and associated equipment until generator started. Have used other UPS's, but like this the best. (there was a odor when first started, about a week, until unit burned in, no odor now. If used in small or closed in area, it would be advisable to start unit in another area for 7 to 10 days) Other than burn in odor, unit has been flawless, and would recommend highly!!!
So far the Tripplite unit is doing its job. Has many more monitoring features than the 2 competitor's UPS units I owned before. Both failed prematurely. I've given up on that company, thought I'd try the Tripp-Lite. Hope this unit is more reliable. Time will tell..
A few days after installing this TrippLite to protect our low wattage items (TV, Modem, router, IPad & iPhobe chargers) we had an extension cord shirt under our recliner chair. Instead of causing a fire, this unit safely disconnected the power with no damage to any equipment or the UPS! All we had to do was remove the damaged cord and reset the UPS to clear the short warning message. THANK YOU!
I purchased this to replace a defective Ultra 1500 UPS. I also have 2 American Power Conversion SmartUPS 1500 units which have worked well over the years, but when comparing purchasing another of their units vs. a TrippLite I decided to give TrippLite a shot. I am pleased with it so far after about 60 days, and it is comparable to the their units I still have but at a significantly lower price point. The LCD display shows the same information as theirs and so far it's handled my needs just as well.
This is my second Tripp Lite UPS (the other one is over 20 years old and has only needed a battery). The quality still seems to be in their build and so far no problems. This on is for my business running critical electronics, so it needs to work all the time, every time. Other than the usual break in smells, this appears to be one fine UPS. Thanks.
Compre este producto debido a los constantes cortes de energia que se dan en mi oficina. Tengo conectados un servidor, 1 NAS, 3 modem, 1 router, 1 pbx y ocupa un pequeño porcentaje de su capacidad ademas de que trabaja muy bien cuando hay cortes de energia o variaciones de voltaje no hay problemas!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Translation: I bought this product because of the constant power outages in my office. I connected- a server, 1NAS, 3 modems, 1 router and 1 PBX. The load represents a small percentage of the units capacity. It works very well when there are power outages or voltage variations. There are no problems.
