I got this used for a great price here on Amazon. It's an incredibly solid unit and one of those things that you don't want to notice, so it does its job best by being quiet in the background. I got it for my recording rig after the venue I regularly play suffered some power outages and spikes during a gig. After reading up on these things, I decided to take it a step further than the standard Furman power conditioner and get a double conversion UPS. It's worked out very well and protected my recordings perfectly, especially when people have inadvertently unplugged my rig. There is no lag or dropout when it loses wall power because it's always converting the power to DC and back to AC.
The only drawback I would say is the weight, but it's pretty light as far as these things go. A few years back I bought a much larger unit that has a higher capacity, but the draw back is that it's so big and such a pain to lug around that it ended up staying at home for most gigs. This is the perfect compromise as it handles all of the units I need to keep going during an electrical event but doesn't weigh a ton. So, certain parts of my rig end up unprotected, but it really doesn't matter if my monitor speakers go down during a recording.
So, two thumbs way up.
Tripp Lite also sent me two new rack ears free of charge when I gave them the serial number. Great customer service, especially for a used device!

Power Protection and Battery BackupBetween severe weather, the aging electrical grid and unavoidable hazards lurking inside your own walls, your servers and network hardware are under constant attack from power problems. Even a brief loss of power or a momentary surge can damage your equipment, corrupt your data, bring down your network and hurt your bottom line. Prevent damage, downtime and data loss by installing this SmartPro UPS system. It conditions incoming AC power to protect your equipment, provides enough battery backup to outlast most outages and allows critical systems to shut down gracefully to prevent data loss and corruption during extended blackouts. |
Common ApplicationsProtect Servers and Network Hardware: Application Servers, Storage Servers, Database Servers, File Servers, Virtualization Servers, Proxy Servers, Web Servers, Media Servers, VoIP Servers, Network-Attached Storage, Network Switches, PoE Switches, Firewalls, Network Appliances, Bridges, Gateways, Routers. |
Reliable Battery BackupHalf-Load Runtime: This UPS system will support a 50% load (150 W) for up to 14.6 minutes. Hot-Swappable Batteries: The internal batteries can be replaced without turning off the UPS system and disrupting the operation of connected equipment. |
AVR and Surge/Noise ProtectionIn locations with chronic voltage problems, frequent switching to battery drains reserve power and shortens battery life. This UPS system has a feature called automatic voltage regulation (AVR) that solves the problem. The UPS detects when input voltage is out of bounds and corrects it without using the battery. All Tripp Lite UPS systems also include built-in surge protection and noise filtering to shield your equipment from destructive transient voltages and electromagnetic (EMI/RFI) line noise. |

No indication it was going bad until it caught on fire!
Bought this November 2019. Worked fine as far as I can tell until yesterday. Employees said it was squealing and humming, but after restarting it, seemed to work OK. LED indicators on the front were all green signaling OK operation.I came in this morning after hours and ran a self test according to the user manual instructions and the thing sparked, popped and then started smoking. Opened up the top and it looks like one of the components caught fire (see photos).
