  Very good for its price. Bought it in 2021 for €170. The batteries still hold up. In the future, I will put slightly larger ones

  This review is about the power (va): 1200 VA

  I bought it on 9/4/2020. From the beginning, the duration was very short (1'-2'). At some point, after 2.5 years, it stopped functioning as a UPS and couldn't hold a charge for even a second, so I replaced the batteries with 2X SunLight SPA 12-9 and now it holds for 15'-20', as it should have done from the beginning with the load I assigned to it (total cost 40€ - Purchase on 22/11/2022 - ridiculously easy replacement).
  Conclusion: The batteries it comes with are completely useless. So if you get it, factor in an additional cost of +40€ for other batteries that you will probably have to replace immediately. It may still be cheaper than the equivalent APC models, from which I have a better out-of-the-box experience, but they are too expensive.

  Very good UPS of pure sine wave, with a very good price, as previously mentioned here by much more specialized members than me in electrical matters. In a system with rtx 3080ti, ryzen 5 5600x and lg cx oled, in a 4k 120 gaming scenario (full load) you have 5 minutes until it shuts down. For simple tasks on the desktop, easily 18 minutes. Very satisfied for what I need it for. I also have a ps5 and the samsung q950t soundbar. I got it relatively cheap at 210 euros (1500VA, 900W), but it's not from authorized stores (300+ for those), so I have a 2-year warranty instead of 3.. Also, the evaluation of hardware busters helped me a lot.
  *update 2/7/2024.
  Now, with the ultimate beast rtx 4090 and 7800x3d, the system works flawlessly and you have time to easily shut down the PC in case of a power outage, even while you're Ingame

  The UPS practically never worked properly. During every power outage, even if it lasts for seconds, the UPS cuts off the power supply (so it doesn't keep the devices running) and emits a continuous beeping sound (its beeper) and displays the "E20" indication, which the manual vaguely interprets as "Fan Lock Fault". When I contacted the manufacturer to inquire about the exact problem, they responded that the UPS needs to be adequately ventilated. Indeed, initially it was placed in a location where both sides were closed (between a rack and a wall), but then I completely removed it to see if anything would change. Absolutely nothing changed, even during voltage drops (which it doesn't even have time to heat up for), it does the same thing.

  Meanwhile, I tried to contact the store where I made the purchase (which no longer appears on skroutz), but they don't answer the phone (the line drops after the recorded message) and they don't respond to my emails either. When I asked the manufacturer what to do in this case, they told me to send it directly to them in Germany using my own shipping (a 13kg package!) for them to check it. So, practically, I am left with a problematic UPS in my hands, not even 8 months old. The worst purchase I have ever made, even if one considers that I bought it for about 120€ cheaper than its current price.

  This review is about the power (va): 1200 VA

  Flawless True Sine UPS. [1200VA] - 159 euros
  2 years later, with custom batteries (10 times the capacity) it gets the job done with quality. When it heats up (power cuts or charges the batteries from very low), its fan makes a little noise (you can change it with a custom mod with a larger one).

  Very good UPS (Powerwalker VI 1500 CSW) at a price around 200 euros and with a 3-year warranty if purchased from an authorized reseller. The build quality is satisfactory, but I would prefer higher quality batteries.

  Pros
  • Pure Sine
  • Adequate for a powerful gaming system
  • Long backup time
  • Good build quality
  • Quality FETs used in the inverter
  • Four schuko sockets (only two for battery and surge protection)
  • Basic EMI and surge protection is offered
  • AVR with decent operation
  • LCD screen
  • Front USB ports for device charging
  • Software compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac systems
  • Low noise when the fan is not running

  Cons
  • Expensive
  • Long battery switching time
  • Heavy and quite large (increased depth)
  • High energy losses during normal operation (AC power)
  • The fan makes noise when running
  • The AVR should not allow output lower than 200 V
  • I expected better quality batteries

  This review is about the power (va): 1200 VA

  I will have the machine in about 15 days. The only test that was done was a manual power outage, in which it performed normally. Now, some tips... usually it happens to me at night when the network in my area is overloaded with 245v and you can hear a slight buzzing sound. So, if it bothers you during sleep, keep the on/off button steady to switch to battery mode and simply switch to the stabilizer. The UPS is narrow, long, quite heavy, and of very good quality.
