The AVRG750U AVR Series Uninterruptible Power Supply from CyberPower comes equipped with a capacity of 750VA/450W that delivers power for up to twelve electronic devices. This power supply features Automatic Voltage Regulation boost/buck technology, which provides consistent and clean AC power to all your connected equipment such as PCs, monitors, cable DSL/modems, VoIP routers, home theater devices, and more. Furthermore, it has composite integrated circuitry for lighting protection and EMI/RFI filters.
This power supply offers twelve outlets that are capable of absorbing up to 1,030 Joules for keeping your devices safe against surges and spikes. To keep your devices powered during blackouts, brownouts, and sags, six of the outlets deliver power via the 12-volt lead acid sealed battery. In addition to the outlets, the UPS provides three RJ-11 ports to protect phones. It features a compact design, which can be installed horizontally or vertically and is wall mountable.
This power supply is Energy Star qualified with GreenPower UPS Bypass circuitry for reducing energy consumption and heat buildup to help save energy costs. Included with the power supply is the PowerPanel Personal edition UPS management software for Windows systems. This software requires minimal system resources and monitors the status of the UPS to ensure it is working properly. When a power outage does occur, this software automatically saves open files and powers down the system into hibernation mode. When your PC is running in hibernation mode, the power supply will offer a longer runtime.

I purchased the AVRG750U as my first-ever UPS unit. I especially liked the idea of it being line-interactive to compensate for voltage variations in my home’s wiring on top of having surge protection and relatively-instant battery backup for the next time we have a power outage. I do, however, have two small suggestions for improving the unit. 1. The three-prong receptacles seem to be designed with a safety feature that prevents a two-prong non-polarized plug from being inserted. I notice that the rounded ground lug on a male plug is supposed to help slide a lock or guard away from the two holes in the receptacle outlet for the male spade connectors of the plug. My router, printer, and monitor all terminate in two-prong plugs. It takes a determined effort to insert these into the AVRG750U’s female receptacle slots–and I think this could be improved. 2. To save space in my rather cramped desktop computer desk area, the unit can stand up on end rather than lie flat. However, the bottom of the unit has a slight V-shape, rather than being completely flat or having feet on it, so the unit can rock slightly. This could also be improved. Rubber feet would be nice.

Got it to keep my router and wifi running in a power outage, which does require less power than keeping a computer connected. Power went out about a month later, and it worked great. I kept the occasional chirp on so that I was aware when the battery was in use. I also like the AVR feature, which supposedly prevents line fluctuations from switching to the battery unnecessarily and prolongs battery life.

I have 5 of these. You get AVR for a price much less then other AVRs. To me, that is the most important feature of a UPS. Have a battery is great, but maintaining accurate voltage protects your electronics during their life, not just when the power goes off!

This works great as a small UPS for my Synology NAS. It was recognized automatically. The electricity went out a couple of days ago, and the server correctly shut itself down and came back up after the power was restored. Excellent! I wish the power button were in a different place. As it is, it’s awkward to turn it on and off, under my desk. I’ll probably try to mount it vertically to address this.

I bought this primarily because I wanted an audible alarm during power outages. This model has the audible alarm along with a mute button. Other manufacturers have the alarm silenced as a default. Wish it was more compact is my only criticism .

Low cost, reliable, and a great power backup. Provides power until the generator kicks in allowing computers, tv, routers and other equipment to continue operating, without needing to reboot. Highly recommended.

There seem to be momentary power surges on our line that my previous APC PS did not deal with. Maybe it needed a new battery but mine was replace a couple of years ago. And it’s monitoring s/w said the battery was OK. So I bought this CyperPower Unit rather then a new battery. So far works perfectly. Picks up with no interruption when power dies. I’ll write another review if I see the same problem with power surges as I saw before, but for now I am thrilled! Protected again. And their desktop monitor s/w works nicely. I’ve got about 10 low power devices + a big workstation plugged in on battery backup (used a power strip to increase the 6 available battery backup receptacles. A power hungry printer is on surge protection only.

Nothing fancy, no LED readout. Just your basic UPS with AVR which is exactly what I need for my several monitors and USB hubs. Cyberpower has always been my go-to for standby power.
