performs as advertised

The ECO850LCD performs well. However the "ECO" function and its outlets aren't useful if there are power variations in your area. When the UPS enters battery mode the "ECO" outlets lose power while the "surge protected only" outlets continue to work.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everything I need in a UPS.

I have several other Tripp products. And like those - this one is excellent. It includes all the features I require and then some. I especially like the number of outlets, and the software that handles shut-downs. Overall, this UPS gives the best bang for the buck. I have nothing "con" to say about it.

Follow-up review . . . as promised

It's been nearly a year & yesterday is the first power failure we've had while I was actually using my computer. I continued to do whatever it was that I was doing on the system for about 5 minutes or so. Then I shut the system down. Actually, I hibernated it. No problem. And . . . IT DIDN'T BEEP!!!!!! Since I wrote my original review, I've purchased a second one of these things to protect my A/V stuff (TV, receiver, DVD recorder, etc.). I have only the DVD recorder on the battery backup side. I view the thing as mainly a good surge protector. But it is nice to have a certain amount of protection for the programming & the clock in the recorder. Our power was out for 3 hours & the UPS battery didn't run dead. Of course, you're not drawing a whole lot of juice with a DVD recorder that is off. At least I didn't have to go in & re-enter my programmed recordings or reset the date & time. My old UPS would have died after about 2 hours. I suspect it drained so quickly because it has to power the incessant beeping. Did I mention how happy I am that this unit doesn't beep?

Does a Great Job, When It Does It's Job With My Mac
on September 20, 2013

When I first got the ECO850LCD, it performed flawlessly during at least two power outages. In fact, having my Mac Pro, cablemodem, and router plugged into the UPS, I was able to use the Internet for more than an hour after the power went out during one outage. Within the last few months, however, it appears that Mac OS X updates have somehow inhibited the communication between my Mac Pro and the ECO850LCD. During this period, the Mac Pro doesn't "sense" the ECO850LCD and, consequently, does not shut itself down in response to the amount of power remaining in the ECO850LCD. Instead, the Mac Pro just shuts itself down. I'm hoping that Tripplite will release a software update in the near future to address these evident compatibility issues.

Great UPS for home

As a retired VP of IT, after very disappointing experience with a mass market UPS, I turned to Tripplite, a brand I trusted from my professional experience. I have used two of the ECO850LCD for the past year, one for my home office and the other for my home Wi-fi gateway / Smart TV area. So far they have been completely invisible, taking me through storms, power surges and outages with no problems. The LCD panel is especially reassuring.

Absolutely love it

My home and neighborhood looses power for a few seconds or minutes regularly. I often joke my community runs on hamster power and they get tired. Since purchasing my Tripp-lite UPS, my internet never goes out and I no longer have to fight with the router/cable modem to reconnect to the internet.

protected me when I needed it

I had this product take a surge from something. It popped like it was supposed to and prevented a fire in my apartment. Customer support was very quick to send me a replacement unit under the warranty and it is working great. Had I not been there, I'm glad to know it would have been.
