(More customer reviews)We purchased two of these. Neither of them worked. They both acted as if there was no AC and would not shut off. They only refunded a portion of my money.
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER!

Tripp Lite SMART1000LCD Digital LCD 1000VA Line-Interactive UPS (8 Outlets) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We are using this unit more and more in the field. I have one on my desk and one for my rack of networking and satellite equipment at the house. The battery display is great when the power is out. Imagine this, I was able to goto the website for my power company to get their phone number when the power went out last time.
As for the previous reviews, here's a couple things to consider. Like most ups, half of the outlets are surge and battery backup, the other half are just surge protection. Now the surge protection only side is great for things like speakers and printers, but if you plug your computer into the wrong side, you won't get the battery backup feature. APC actually started putting big yellow stickers on their UPS because of this.
And the power and heat. Yeah, it gets hot, when it's charging. It's warm when its fully charged.. But it doesn't continously pull 1A of power. I'm sure it does when it's charging, but my fully charged unit only pulls 5 to 20w of power or 50 to 160 Milliamps of power (.05A - .16A). Checked it myself with my power meter.
In all, this is a great unit and for 1000VA, it's a good deal.

Tripp Lite SMART1200LCD Digital LCD 1200VA Line-Interactive UPS (8 Outlets) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have not noticed the noise like other reviewers have. It has to do with placement, maybe. Mine sits at my feet and the fan would point away from me, but I don't ever hear it. The battery lasts a good amount of time for me, especially compared to a 1000 VA.
I bought this to protect my Mac Pro. I am glad I did. I had a storm last year that crippled about $3000 worth of equipment when a bolt of lightning struck very close. My Mac Pro survived hooked up to this. This UPS seems to have helped with the surge a lot compared to some others. I had an expensive APC Smart-UPS which let through a damaging jolt in the room next door (Server died hard and UPS died). I also had a Tripp-Lite Smart1000LCD which got toasted and let through a surge. This UPS may not have been perfect, as it seems that a USB port on my monitor failed (the LCD screen works), but it fared the best of all of my surge protectors and UPSes.
So overall, if you get hit by lightning, nothing is safe, even with an expensive UPS. Tripp-Lite sent me replacement UPSes, so having (both) a product warranty and an equipment warranty is good insurance. It may take a while to get service, but they are helpful. So whatever brand you buy, get a good UPS with a good warranty and hope for the best. They will ask you to draw a diagram of what failed during the storm, so make sure you have everything plugged in, including phones and network cables.

Tripp Lite OMNI900LCD Digital LCD 900VA Line-Interactive UPS (8 Outlets) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this UPS as a backup for my CPAP machine. It's very capable of doing the job. The LCD, and information it provides is very helpful, and appears to be accurate. You can't beat the feature set on this UPS for the price. My only real complaint is with the smell of the plastic. It will fill the room with an awful stink when this thing warms up. I'm guessing it will go away as the unit breaks in, but really shouldn't be there to begin with. I have noticed that many of the products that come from China these days have a problem with stinky plastic.

Power problems including blackouts, brownouts, power surges and line noise interference threaten your investment! They can damage or destroy PCs and other expensive equipment, wipe out valuable data and files, and degrade component performance. Get protected against these all-too-common power threats with Tripp Lite's OMNI900LCD Digital UPS System. It provides reliable battery backup that can keep entry-level PC systems operational for up to 50 minutes during blackouts. Automatic voltage regulation (AVR) corrects low-voltage conditions (brownouts) back to safe 120V power without draining the UPS battery. Surge suppression and EMI/RFI line noise filtering prevent hardware damage and performance problems such as poor-quality audio and video output. A large illuminated LCD screen with dimmer switch shows incoming power conditions and UPS operations in real time.
