EATON 5S1500LCD 1500 VA 900 Watts 10 Outlets UPS

Pros: Lots of outlets, a “master” power plug can shut power off to peripherals when the tower is off. Fit and finish seem very good. Cons: The instructions did not say that the battery comes disconnected from the factory. It stumped me for a minute. Overall Review: Good choice.

Pros: Very easy to setup, easy digital display, setup with Nas4Free and Freenas was relatively painless Cons: the thing is heavy, but that is to be expected. Overall Review: Glad i purchased them for my home NAS system.

Pros: Well packed manufacturer packaging. Very clear multi-lingual user manual that is well worth the time reading the few pages in your chosen language. Very clear warning markers attached to UPS. Very difficult to install and use this unit without seeing the warning marker to connect the internal batteries. Silent operation; it does not have any fans on/in it that I can tell. Novel “master slave” outlet pairing. Lose power to the “master” device and the “slave” device turns off immediately. The manual tells me this feature is disabled by default, but read the user manual carefully to fully understand it’s operation. Cons: It is HEAVY. Place this unit on a very sturdy shelf. Ask for assistance if needed because of it’s weight. Obvious odor of a “new unit” that slowly goes away over time. Do not place this unit in an enclosed room because that will contain the odor. I have noticed similar odors from other UPS units that I have bought. It must be “that new battery smell” that’s added at the factory! Do not expect this unit to be fully charged when shipped. My unit was around 75% charged and needed a few hours to “top up” to a full charge. None of these items are worth taking off any eggs. Overall Review: Yes, the unit is advertised as having 10 outlets, but not all of those outlets are connected to the internal battery in the event of a power outage. Some of the outlets are “surge suppressor only” outlets that turn off when commercial power is lost. Plan your installation appropriately. I find this unit is fine for being a power backup to a server and associated monitor with more than adequate “runtime” to power down the server once commercial power is lost. I mainly bought this unit for it’s “surge suppression” and “line interactive” features since my commercial power is fairly reliable, but having the backup battery function is nice. I am using the “NUT” free power monitoring software on my Linux server. The UPS is attached via the included USB cable. The version of “NUT” (2.7.3 in my case) that I am using easily supports this unit using the “usbhid-ups” driver from the “NUT” software package. Interesting note: my unit was 6 months old when it arrived “new” (and in a fully “sealed box” also) at my doorstep according to the manufacturer’s own package labels. I would consider buying this unit and using this manufacturer’s products again if necessary.

Pros: -Bulky and heavy, I can store other small object on top of it easily like a small switch and a raspberry pi without worrying about knocking it over -UPS seems to work as advertised, unplugged it with all my devices connected and it keeps them powered with about 28 minutes of battery life at full charge -Simple display screen to monitor wattage draw, battery life remaining, etc. Cons: -Manual is a little on the vague side, especially about what certain symbols on the display panel mean Overall Review: Overall strong UPS, does what it’s supposed to do with more than enough power to support a decent computer and its peripherals to give you enough time to shut things down during an extended power outage or carry you through brief blips in power service.
