CyberPower PR2200LCDSL Smart App Sinewave UPS System, 2070VA/1980W, 7 Outlets, AVR, Mini-Tower

The old smaller CyberPower UPS I had finally died after a number of years of service. I wanted a larger capacity pure sine-wave UPS to replace it. This one is a lot heavier than the old one, and seems to be doing a great job so far. It is a lot more UPS than I technically need but having the extra reserve capacity if worth it.

So far for ok, I will post a updated review after 2/3 months

This UPS died in 2 years and 4 months with no indication or warning, still under warranty. Customer support has been lethargic and not promptly helpful. It's been over 10 days and there is no solution provided by customer support. They say we are waiting for reply from engineers on every email and come out with no solution in any of these, just more questions. How long should it take to understand what's going on, unless you guys don't know what's going on I guess? After spending so much money on this product we don't want to wait weeks to get a reply and months to solve it. More money should buy good support. I feel cheated, no value for money. Will never buy product from this company and request to save you the hassle if you are planning to buy any CyberPowet UPS. Go with APC or some other brands like Tripp lite.

This product (PR2200LCDL) does indeed function fine to power devices, but has a critical flaw that I didn't find out until after the return period during a long power outage. If your load is on the lower side (below about 40%), the runtime display is absolutely useless. Not only is it just plain inaccurate, but it also flickers back and forth between two wrong runtimes. Let me provide some examples of different loads and what the UPS shows for runtime (none of which are remotely accurate):1) 59W/132VA or 3%W/6%VA and the UPS alternates between displaying 208 and 52 minutes of runtime.2) 99W/175VA or 4%W/8%VA and the UPS alternates between displaying 832 and 676 minutes of runtime. You read that right; I've increased the load, and the UPS now estimates a drastically higher runtime.3) 198W/286VA or 10%W/13%VA and the UPS alternates between displaying 68 and 32 minutes of runtime.4) 178W/264VA or 9%W/12%VA and the UPS alternates between 32 and 44 minutes of runtime. Yep, a lower load, but displays a lower runtime than number 3. With this load, the actual runtime was tested to be 79 minutes. This matches the runtime charts, but the runtime display is absolutely off the wall compared to what it should be, and doesn't get anymore accurate as the battery runs down.Now, throughout all of this, the UPS seems able to give me an accurate W/VA load reading, but not an accurate runtime, so believe it is a firmware issue. I tried working with Cyberpower tech support to see if we could get this resolved, but have been unable to. They did swap the unit, as tech support agreed that this behavior shouldn't happen. However, the replacement unit showed the same issue. After going back and forth with them, and providing them more data, they said that's just the way it is, and to deal with it.I purchased this UPS due to wanting longer runtimes, and being able to support high transient loads (receiver, amplifier and subwoofer). The normal load is fairly low, but large wattage will be pulled at times, so I need the capacity for that. Nowhere in any of the literature or documentation did it mention that it won't work properly with smaller loads, nor does it make sense. I've had many UPSs over the years, including larger ones, and never run into an issue like this. I honestly don't consider it fit for its purpose, but I have no recourse since it is now well past the return period. All in all, despite me having been a Cyberpower fan for awhile now (I have 4 other different model UPSs from them), this will likely be my last.

Works great and does the job. I have it powering my master bedroom and living room circuits right now and it performs very well. Just wish it had better battery capacity or a way to hook up external batteries. For its size and cost, this seems like the only drawback to me. Be aware that the inverter has kind of a loud hum when it switches over to battery power. Its not crazy loud, but definitely noticeable. I like that it also keeps track of how many times it has to switch to battery power. I had been having some utility issues while at work and never noticed until i saw the count was going up every few days.

Works great for its intended purpose which is to protect my desktop.

Works like a charm! Currently protecting a Windows 2016 server, and a Linux desktop. Cyberpower apps on both platforms recording everything and handling emergency shutdowns.

This UPS is basically just a regular run of the mill battery, with nothing to show for itself other than the ability to sustain higher load.Interestingly, without external power source it manages to run the battery down even if there’s no external load on it at all, within about 2 hours. By comparison, a regular car battery with a 3kw power inverter can power my entire gaming setup (LG OLED TV, PS4 Pro and Marantz nr1607 receiver) for nearly 4 hours! This UPS can only power the same for about 30-40 minutes.And it’s pretty much useless with a power generator, as it can’t stabilize the external power source, if it has unstable alternating frequency - it will simply run off of its battery and then will shut down. So unless you put a pure sine wave inverter in front of it - it’s usel with power generator.You’d be better if just buying a computer power supply, a power inverter, a power switch and a regular car battery - for half the price you’ll have a much better setup that lasts longer on the battery power, and works with a power generator.
