I couldn’t be happier with the CyberPower CP1500PFCRM2U. This UPS is rock solid and gives me complete peace of mind knowing my equipment is protected. Setup was straightforward, and the LCD display makes it easy to see power status and battery health at a glance. It runs quietly, fits perfectly in my rack, and has plenty of outlets to cover all my critical devices.What really stands out is the pure sine wave output, which keeps my sensitive electronics running smoothly without any hiccups. The battery life is impressive for my needs.If you’re looking for a reliable, professional-grade UPS, this is the one to get. It delivers consistent performance, great features, and the build quality feels excellent.

Excellent rack mount battery backup. It is so small and compact that it was able to fit in a small outdoor enclosure. Highly recommend purchasing this unit.

Outstanding power backup for network rack. Reliable and has kept my network running through many power outages.

I've been using the CyberPower CP1500PFCRM2U UPS System for a few months now, and it's been a solid performer for my UNRAID server setup. Here's my take on it:Pros:Power Capacity: With 1500VA/1000W, it provides ample power backup for my essential devices, including my computer, modem, and router. I can have enough juice in the bank to allow 15 minutes for a safe shutdown of processes when under normal loads using UNRAID.Sine Wave Output: The pure sine wave output ensures that my sensitive electronics receive clean power, which is crucial for maintaining their performance and longevity.Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR): The AVR feature helps stabilize minor power fluctuations without switching to battery power, which is great for protecting my equipment.Multiple Outlets: The eight outlets are very convenient, allowing me to connect multiple devices without needing a power strip. This is amazing in itself.Remote Management: The option for remote management via the PowerPanel software is a nice touch, especially for monitoring and managing the UPS from a distance. I prefer to still use my UNRAID management tool as it is seemless and connects with ease. I also can configure it to prevent a system shutdown if the power were to come back within a certain timeframe. This is great for those random outages in the area where it comes right back.Cons:Runtime: The runtime is relatively short, around 3.1 minutes at full load and 10.2 minutes at half load. It's enough to safely shut down my devices but not to keep them running for an extended period during a power outage. At the end of the day, it isn't a generator, it is a UPS.Weight: The unit is a bit heavy, weighing around 27 pounds (12 kilograms). This makes it a bit cumbersome to move around if needed. I suggest you put it on the bottom of your rack as it can allow for a stable mount that isn't top heavy.Initial Setup: The initial setup can be a bit tricky, especially if you're not familiar with installing UPS systems. Properly connecting all the devices and ensuring everything is working correctly took some time for me when it came to UNRAID. Luckily there are enough people who have answers to the questions I had, and it allowed me to setup everything in a day.Overall, the CyberPower CP1500PFCRM2U is a reliable UPS system that provides excellent power protection and multiple features for home office use. Just keep in mind the short runtime at high loads and the weight if you plan to move it around frequently.

I’ve installed and used a lot of these for clients’ racks over the years, and they’ve generally been a reliable, space-saving UPS solution. The performance is solid, and they integrate well into rack setups.That said, I’ve noticed they don’t seem to last as long as they used to. It’s hard to fully judge lifespan because my installs are in varying environments, but there does appear to be a trend toward shorter service life compared to earlier models.Still, the CP1500PFCRM2U remains a dependable choice for protecting equipment and keeping downtime to a minimum—it’s just worth keeping an eye on battery health and budgeting for replacement a bit sooner than expected.

Extremely disappointed with the company CyberPower. I bought the model CP1500PFCRM2U to install in the server rack at my business. After mounting it inside the server rack, I clicked the power button and nothing... Unfortunately, it feels a lot heavier than it really is and was a complete pain unmounting it and removing it from the rack. You can see in the photos that the main LCD screen was completely detached and the circuit board for the power button was also detached. I contacted the company with photos and after a half dozen generic responses was told that they would RMA the product. However, I noticed this in part of the response email "CyberPower does not pay for you to return a product for warranty service; however, CyberPower pays the shipping to return the new or replacement product." Honestly, I feel completely scammed. Why should I have to pay for return shipping when the circuit boards were completely detached when I received the product. I took the front panel off and re-attached both the LCD and circuit board for the power button. There's some sloppy glue preventing me from completely seating the power button but at least I can turn the unit on now. The buttons are kind of sunken into the unit but it is usable. Complete scum move from the company. Also, this review is being tagged for build quality, let me emphasize the build quality was TERRIBLE. Not functional, bad quality control, and poor customer server, do not recommend.

Working good so far. I am in Florida and power outages are a must to be prepared for.

Excellent for a small home lab.Running a few small systems and network gear. Very happy wit this unit.
