Work from a home office in Florida where outages and violent thunderstorms are a regular event. The SmartPro works exactly as it should - when the power goes off, it kicks in and I can carry on working for a short time or close down without losing any work. Also like the fact that it can be muted during lengthy outages, especially at night. Great product.
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Good Power Output, Long Battery Life, Quiet Operation, Reliable, Small Footprint
We purchased some of these units to help manage the fluctuation of power to manufacturing equipment and they have been performing well. Great price and value.

Unit backs up a desktop computer, dual monitors, cable modem, router, and inkjet printer with ease. Display provides plenty of info about power use, battery voltage and lots more. Customer service was great - replaced a defective unit immediately and covered the freight both ways.

Your earlier model stood up and down and was much thinner versus the large wide and flat build of this model. It makes it harder to fit into tight computer desk space.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Hal, Thank you for your feedback on the SMART1500LCDT. I understand your concern with the form factor of the unit and it not being as convenient as you were familiar with. I will note that we do have an option that would be thinner and able to go into those tighter spaces. That unit would be the SMART1500LCD. This is a rack-mount unit, but also can be used in an upright configuration that might work better for your environment. I have included a link to the product as well as our UPS buying guide.
