CyberPower OR1500LCDRTXL2U-R Smart App LCD UPS System

I bought my Cyberpower UPS in October of 2012 - now, 6 months later, I need to say how pleased I am with the performance of this unit. I've primarily used APC in the past and considered using them again. This time, however, the feature set of this unit seemed to provide (more bang for the buck). I can say that I am not disappointed with the performance of the unit in my area where thunderstorms are frequent and power disruptions and surges are almost as frequent. In the past 30 days, this unit has saved me twice. Connected to my Panasonic Viera AND Denon Receiver as well as the cable DVR and the telephone...it has performed above and beyond my expectations. When the fans kick on, it's loud, there is no doubt about that...but the fans don't run forever and under normal circumstances it just sits there doing what it does best - saving my equipment. If there is anything I can say that might be construed as negative - it would be that I can't turn off the blue LED display screen (as far as I know) and that has a tendency to light up the room at night ... something I don't like. A wide piece of black electrical tape has remedied that issue! I do not hesitate to recommed this UPS to anyone thinking of using it for home theater protection.
