Quality and reability
Just a good backup battery that has been working as expected for almost 6 months so far.

Now I have three
The 350 VA model is not good for a PC.The Power Assist application – which worked flawlessly for me on Windows but not on Linux, will tell you that even if the average usage is below 50%, the moment you start a demanding task (a video rendering/conversion, a Photoshop filter or a heavy game), the consumption will go through the roof. It will hit above 100% of the UPS capacity, and after a few desperate beeps, your computer – and the UPS will be shut down, no questions asked.The solution is NOT to mute the UPS speaker. That will conceal the problem, not solve it. The solution is to get a more powerful model, that will never reach 100% capacity. Then you will not hear a single beep.This device can be good for your router, NAS, maybe TV. You decide which devices you want just to protect from surges, and what you want to continue working even after a power outage. But 359va it is not good for your desktop PC – unless it’s a very humble piece of hardware, with a very low wattage CPU.On the photo: on the left side (surge only) are connected non-critical devices, such as the amplifier, or one monitor. On the right side (battery backed up). only one computer and one monitor.Interestingly, on Linux the consumption was much lower for the same tasks. The UPS never shut down. Under windows, the beeping was much more frequent and the shut down was inevitable.I had a few shut downs already, so the UPS will be upgraded to 600 VA.A year later: I’ve got two 600 VA and had to buy a third one, 850 va after I added a Nvidia GPU to my PC and started playing with local AI.I was able to launch the Power Assist app on Linux. The trick is to edit the ‘powerassist’ file. It is not an executable but a script that launches a Java application.

Meanwhile during our honeymoon…
I was about to leave a satisfied five star review praising the heft of this little powerhouse for a need when the inevitable power goes out in my vicinity when, upon unplugging the unit to see what would happen AND to my discovery I learned all units plugged in were uninterrupted.I plugged it back in. That was when I learned a.) an intermittent beep fills the silece of the room.I then discovered b.) the 500 anyway does not come with an Owner’s/Instruction Manual.At that point I went online and looked here at Amazon for a downloadable manual.There is one available but it would not download to my Android (message= Corrupt file will not open)Cut to the chase, more aggravation, sparing you nasty details and this is helpful useful information for you once the beeping starts as the answers to a few questions posted in that section are inaccurate:THERE IS A BLACK BUTTON WHERE THE CORD EXITS THE UNIT.PRESS THE BUTTON DOWN AND THE UNIT RESETS. i.e. the beeping stopped for me at that point after other failed efforts to make it stop.It would be a wise gesture by the manufacturer to include a quick, if only a Post-It size note to inform the consumer.I am very happy I discovered this when I did despite the aggravation because you don’t want this to happen to you at the last inopportune moment EVER.So I got lucky there and so did you by reading this review should you purchase the Vertiv Liebert PST-500 MT 120That said, the unit appears pretty solid. I am happy with it again now that I got the beeping to stop.NOTE: Turning the unit off shuts everything attached to it off.Most likely, you don’t want that, but you never know. But be advised, turning the power button off kills the power. Unplugging it kicks it into backup mode.The 500 here mentioned is wall mountable and a template is included to help mount it evenly with the holes accurately placed. It is my assumption the template for mounting it is accurate. I have not yet gotten to putting it up on the wall yet AND I’M GLAD I DIDN’T BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE HAD TO MESS WITH IT WHEN THE BEEPING STARTED.SO. Is this a good deal? The fact it doesn’t come with a printed manual saves you some money because the manufacturer didn’t have the expense of having to include one.Myself, my printer has malfunctioned permanently so I have to get another one.An important note of interest here is that I would not have been able to print the manual had I been able to download it.It was upon taking the unit to another room to attempt a download to my PC along with the software in an effort to disable the beep in the settings when I saw the button near the plug as previously mentioned.I believe I will be happy with this now and it appears to be a good deal. Maybe five stars, but only four for what it put me through.I would recommend it.

Nice little UPS
Nice little UPS, reasonably priced. Usually in Midtown Manhattan, our power is very reliable but surprisingly in a class A building, a PC was shutting down for now reason. We put the UPS between the computer and the wall outlet and the logs created by the UPS software proved that the outlook was losing power intermittently. The UPS did its job and kept the computer from shutting down.

The 850VA works well with my my desktop PC, 500VA for TV and DVR
The 850VA works well with my my Win-10 desktop PC and gives me about 8 minutes of run-time, starting shut-down of my PC at about 6 minutes.Wanted something to keep my rig running for a short time during short power outages and which shuts down my desktop PC automatically if the power is out more than a few minutes.I Hhave the UPS connected to my Win-10 desktop PC: 800 Watt power supply, 64GB RAM, 8GB GPU Card, two 24 inch monitors , a KVM switch, a 7-port USB hub, illuminated keyboard and mouse, and two Wi-Fi routers (two different ISPs).I followed the instructions and downloaded the software to manage automatically shutting down my PC if the power stays off more than a few minutes. This seems to shut down my PC when the battery power gets down to 15% , but there are no options for setting the action when it hits 50% or another number the user may prefer.Great product at a good price which Will help protect my PC from a hard shut downs due to short power outages.The 500VA gives me about 12 minutes if run-time with my 55inch TV and DVR. For short power outages this eliminates the nearly ten minute reboot of the DVR.

Small capacity but perfect to protect my network devices (router, isp modem, and switch) during short power outages or spikes. Easy access port to replace the lead acid battery when the time comes.

Installed a new whole house generator, this is a must item to have so you don’t lose internet, tv service on intermittent loss of electricity on transfer switch over.

I am the first to admit that my need to “be connected” is probably worthy of an intervention. That said, most of my house relies on my Internet connection. From my doorbell to my thermostats to my outlets (just to name a few), my house is steeped in IoT.Unfortunately, I live in a pretty hostile climate, and the power goes out quite regularly. No power used to mean no Internet, but not anymore! With my new UPS, my modem, router and devices with battery backup keep doing their thing. I might actually get another one to connect to another access point in my home. It would be good if I could keep my entire network up to avoid any dead or weak spots.My only problem with all UPS devices is their size and weight. I don’t want my home to end up looking like the telecom room at my office.Anyway, if being connected matters as much to you as it does to me, I recommend this UPS. It’s easy to set up and provides enough power to keep you up and running even if the outage lasts several hours.

Use it for backup of router to avoid internet loss before our back generator comes on after 5 seconds of power loss. So far worked as advertised, no complaints.
