  This review is about the power (va): 650 VA

  My experience with this specific product is mixed, which is why I gave it a mediocre rating.
  Initially, in August 2023, I purchased one for use on my desktop computer - my daughter's student monitor.
  It is an excellent machine and has been functioning flawlessly up until now.
  In the event of a power outage, it provides a few minutes of operation so that you can shut down your computer. It then produces a relevant noise and emits a periodic sound, indicating that the power supply has been interrupted and it is running on battery. For this device, my rating is definitely 5 stars.
  Being completely satisfied with the previous device, in February 2024, I purchased another one for use on my own desktop computer - monitor. However, things were completely different here.
  Despite the fact that this device also worked flawlessly like the previous one, from the moment I took it out of its packaging, before even connecting it to the electrical power, an unpleasant smell emerged. A smell that resembled something between burnt plastic and glue.
  When I connected the device to the electrical power, over time, this unpleasant smell gradually became stronger, reaching an unbearable level.
  Of course, I returned the device to the store where I purchased it and they immediately replaced it with another identical one.
  To my great surprise, unfortunately, I discovered that the second device had exactly the same problem with the unpleasant smell.
  I returned the second device to the store where I purchased it, and they replaced it with a different brand of UPS.
  Perhaps with my second purchase, I happened to come across a defective batch.

  It burned in 2 and a half years (sparked and caused a general fire), while also burning the computer's power supply, which was the only device I had on me. Far away!

  It is a very good UPS for its price and quality. It was installed on a server and operates efficiently.

  This review is about power (va): 2200 VA, ac outlets: 4

  For the 2200VA

  It does not hold for 1200W for more than 30 seconds, it can withstand 500-600 watts for 1.5-3 minutes, no relation to the numbers the company claims. Battery replacement was done every 2 years because it did not hold at all, not even at a 200W load.
  After 7 years, the fan now operates continuously even when fully disconnected and closed. It is not worth sending it for repair due to its size, so buying a new one is the solution.
  Overall, for its price, it was worth it as it is in the category of the cheapest UPS.

  Wonderful UPS that does its job perfectly.
  The noise is acceptable, but I do not recommend keeping it in places where it could be bothersome.

  After 2 years, unfortunately, it crashed. While at the beginning it had 1 computer with 2 monitors and a router, after a year it stopped working and after 2, as I said before, it crashed.

  This review is about the power (va): 650 VA

  For the PS5 that my friend is talking about, it doesn't work as he says it does. If it does, he should send us a real video... When you're not playing a game, it can handle it, but when you do play, it shuts down immediately... As for the PC, I highly recommend it without hesitation

  On a desktop computer with a 750W power supply and many accessories on top.
  Initially, I was thinking of getting a good one for 150 euros+ but then you say that every 2-3 years I would have to change the battery for 100 euros+...
  In the end, I got something cheap, this one here. Its purpose is to not shut down the machine when the power goes out and to allow for a proper shutdown instead of continuing to search for girls on Facebook.
  I've had it for about 6 months, the power has gone out 5-6 times. It responded perfectly, keeping the machine on.
  It has a screen that shows you how charged it is and how much battery it has.
  For 50 euros... And when it breaks again, I will get the same thing.
  PERFECT.

  For a UPS of 50€, it's great!
  I have a recorder connected with 5 POE security cameras + a Chinese FTTH modem-router and it lasted for a little over an hour with the IR activated on all 5 cameras. I didn't expect anything more. As a voltage regulator, it works satisfactorily well. For example, with an input voltage of around 200V, it outputs over 220V, while in backup mode it consistently outputs 230V, based on the screen display. I didn't go through the process of measuring it with my own multimeter...
  Regarding temperature issues, I can't know since it has been placed in a fairly cold place. As for durability, time will tell, and as for the software, I haven't had a chance to see it yet. Maybe in the future, I will come back to update the evaluation... I consider it to be a good value for money for the use I wanted it for.

  If you buy it for 1 year, the battery is ok.
  There is a problem if you use it for longer. The battery doesn't last at all. The power cuts off and the computer shuts down immediately before you can do anything.
  Also, the annoying sound it makes when the power cuts off is a problem.
  I wouldn't buy it again.

  Just changed the battery. It's relatively easy. The battery indicators are unreliable (showed 4 bars when the battery needed to be changed). Perform periodic test. I protect a computer and a monitor. For proper use, download the instruction manual. For the annoying beep, as others have written, it can be disabled through software. Install Winpower Manager. After connecting the computer to the UPS via the USB port, enter a new password (Modify Administrator Password command). Read the user instructions.

  In Light gaming and any other function, it works perfectly fine and stays on idle without any battery drop or indication for over 3 minutes until I manage to shut down the PC. Unfortunately, my system cannot handle it under full load... Ryzen 3700x, 5700xt Sapphire, 1 SSD, 1 HDD, CPU cooler with 2 fans + 3 case fans, 2 DDR4 sticks, and x570 motherboard... For example, in AC Odyssey, the load bar shows that it is equal to or greater than the load that the UPS can handle... They say it's 480w... It shut down instantly during a power outage, so it's the graphics card that determines the UPS, because the CPU never goes above 20-25%. Therefore, it has low power consumption from its already low consumption... Recommended for smaller systems or more relaxed situations.

  This review is about power (va): 1200 VA, ac outlets: 3

  I can't say much because I haven't used UPS before nor do I have specialized knowledge about them.

  I bought it 9 months ago for €80 for the purpose of protecting devices from power surges and outages, and so far it works flawlessly. I have placed a 43-inch 4K television, an OTE modem/router, a DVR with a hard drive and 6 cameras, and a computer on it.
  During a power outage, the batteries take over and there is an audible signal that repeats every few seconds. The sound is a bit annoying, but I disabled it through the computer program that you need to download from the internet. Although I would prefer to have the option to sound at the times I choose (e.g. every 10 minutes instead of every 10 seconds).
  Device--> Device Control Parameters.

  The connection to the computer is made with a USB type B cable, like the ones printers have. The packaging does not include it, so it is good to get one.

  Through the program, you can program it to send you an email every time the power goes out or when it comes back on, when the batteries run out, when the connection is lost, or any other problem that may occur, and many other things that I don't understand. The only requirement is that it is connected to an open computer. It didn't work for me with Hotmail, but it works with Gmail only if you disable the security related to connecting with less secure apps from your email!

  It has three shucko socket outlets. Much more convenient than IEC ones since 99% of buyers will plug in devices with shucko plugs. Oh! It's also silent!

  If any issues arise, I will inform you.

  I have it for about two years. It saved my small PC and the screen several times when the power went out. But now it constantly shows low load and battery level. With the slightest voltage fluctuation, everything shuts down. Two years of warranty, two years and something it has endured...

  This review is about power (va): 2200 VA, ac outlets: 4

  I have it in a pellet boiler. I have patented it and I have installed 2 car batteries. Of course, the UPS does not charge them (I charge them with a charger). I have set it up so that when the power comes, the batteries are disconnected. The boiler lasts about 12 hours. But it has an issue. Due to the modified sine wave, the fan speed fluctuates for no reason because it receives power from an inverter.

  If I were to do it now, I would get an inverter with an 800w charger and I would use a car battery. Because now I have bought a battery charger since the bitmore cannot handle charging.

  After 1 year, suddenly, when everything was working fine with the boiler and at 230 volts, all the mosfets and some smd components blew up!

  He couldn't lift a PC by himself, neither monitors nor anything else, resulting in the PC constantly restarting! with a 450w power supply. Obviously, it's for even fewer watts now.

  I have it for about 9 months and everything is going smoothly... I have connected 2 consoles and a 55-inch TV. Every time the power goes out, the UPS works flawlessly and the battery lasts for quite a while, although I haven't measured it. I highly recommend it

  I have it for several years. I have a TV, Sound Bar, and PS4 Pro.

  At some point, I noticed that although the screen shows that the devices are at 3/4 of their capacity, as soon as there is a power outage, EVERYTHING turns off immediately (when I have the PS4 on, otherwise it keeps the devices on and starts beeping). So, the indications regarding the load it can handle are unreliable.

  Therefore, I decided to change the battery, thinking that its battery might be damaged. I replaced it, but the problem still persists. Even though it shows that we are at 75% of the load, everything turns off as soon as there is a power outage.

  The climax was the day before yesterday when, without a power outage, while I was playing PS4, all the devices turned off and my PS4 got corrupted. I had to reinstall its OS from scratch and lost all the saves that hadn't been uploaded to PSN.

  Overall, it has been a bad experience. Maybe it's okay for a very small load, but it definitely can't handle the 850VA, and the indications shown on the screen are unreliable.

  I had it for three years and it never left me hanging, it barely holds on a computer with a screen, but I put it on top of the screen and computer mainly because we have many power outages in which it is fine, but also the router, so when the power goes out, even for 3-4 hours, I turn off the computer, I turn off the switch (so it doesn't consume any power) and leave only the router, the router can last up to 20 hours if it wants to, it consumes very few watts.

  After three years of good use, it gave up on me and gives me error 0, there was a storm, many power outages, micro outages, etc., and it started giving me errors. I will buy the same one again because it does exactly what it should for only 55-60 euros.

  Noise: The ONLY downside is that the beep it makes when it's on battery mode cannot be stopped, it is excessively loud and if there is a power outage at night, it wakes you up and you have to turn it off from the button to stop the noise. As long as it's not on battery mode, it's silent as if you don't have it, the problem is when the power goes out, even with the computer screen off, etc. (since I'm sleeping), it starts beeping continuously and you can't stop it unless you completely turn it off!
  Some mentioned that you can turn it off from the software, but my software has the Device-Device Control Parameters grayed out, so I don't have the option to make it silent.

  On a computer without load and many applications open, it lasts 5-10 minutes, depending on the computer and the screen size. I have a gaming PC so you can see that it consumes it quickly. On an older computer, it can last up to half an hour.
  The router lasts many hours if it's alone.

  Just got it, after five days there was a power outage... opportunity to time it.... So, in my mind (based on what I had read in the reviews) it was supposed to last 10 - 15 minutes... This particular UPS lasted a whole 31 minutes!!! I have connected a desktop computer and a monitor. I shouldn't forget to mention that at the beginning, before connecting the computer, I had it plugged in for about 8 hours.

  This review is about the power (va): 650 VA

  It is very convenient that it has a USB connection to the computer and (by installing the accompanying software that you download from a page mentioned in the manual and activating it with a code provided in the manual) it can shut it down properly (after about 2 minutes if the power outage continues) when you are not around during the power outage. I have seen it do this in two different power outages. It is not convenient that it has the USB port in the front and the user interface of the software is not very user-friendly, but... OK, I see it doing its job silently and nicely.

  Personally, for me, the UPS is a must for valuable electronic devices. You can't invest money in PCs, TVs, etc. and leave them at the mercy of the power company with its terribly poor voltage quality and frequent power outages. The problem is not when the power outage occurs, but when the voltage returns. Many times, it has a higher value than the usual (230V) and that's why many devices get burned.
  Apart from protection against high voltage, a very important feature that a UPS provides is the stabilized/filtered output voltage. A crucial feature for the proper and uninterrupted operation of our devices.

  Personally, I use a UPS for all 3 computers I have. And another positive aspect, regardless of the protection of the device itself, is that by working through a UPS, you don't have to worry about losing work or tasks due to a sudden drop in voltage.

  Now let's talk about this specific UPS: It is used in a system with a computer, monitor, and modem. The computer is an office computer, so it definitely doesn't have as much power requirements as a gaming computer.

  However, in normal use of this computer, the UPS keeps it running comfortably for half an hour and the battery indicator remains at 3/4 (at some point, I will unplug it from the socket and measure the exact time as well as the exact power it draws using a meter I have, which I roughly estimate to be around 150W).

  Nice UPS, with a backlit screen. In terms of size, I would consider it medium-sized.

  It has 2 Schuko sockets and comes with a 2-year warranty.

  For the job I need it for, at this specific price, I don't think there is anything better. The only thing that remains to be proven is its durability over time.

  This specific UPS is very noisy!
  It has a fan that operates almost constantly and makes a tremendous noise.
  Its battery lasts 5-10 minutes, with a PC and a monitor.
  Also, it randomly switches to battery mode, which is quite annoying.

  It is more suitable for an office rather than a home, as at night you can't sleep because of the noise!

  DO NOT BUY IT. I have had it for about 2 years and at first everything was fine... then it shut down twice when there was a power outage... now it randomly shuts down without any power interruption and it's useless... I only have the Xbox and the 55-inch QLED... I got rid of it because it would have caused me 1500 euros in damages while I bought it for safety. Choose something that can withstand the test of time

  I powered the following: Desktop (with a 600 Watt power supply), monitor, 2 high-powered self-amplified speaker-monitors, router. I was placing them one by one because I didn't believe it could handle them. I couldn't believe my eyes when I realized that it was working at 50% with all of these on top. With the PC on, playing the speakers loudly while watching an online movie, I turned off the power and everything was fine. And all of this for 50 euros. I highly recommend it. If you find it, get it without hesitation.
