Disclosure and confession: I spent two decades reviewing UPS systems for several of the largest computer magazines, almost on a yearly basis, and got to know the players in the field quite well, along with their advantages and disadvantages. In almost all the reviews, Tripp-Lite would end up at or near the top of the list of products for their superb engineering, rugged design, and support. Over the years, I've bought quite a few UPSs for personal use, and the vast majority have been Tripp Lites.
So, after buying another high-end computer with all-SSD storage, and suffering through five power glitches in a week of bad weather, it was time to buy another UPS. It was, quite frankly, a no-brainer. This was the unit I chose, based on several facts: I like to have extra capacity in the output, so I wanted at least a 1200VA model, the construction was extremely solid, and the price was competitive. I have not been disappointed. The UPS arrived next day (despite not paying for next-day shipment!), got plugged in, and went to work immediately.
These are not the world's most attractive UPSs, but they are not ugly either, and they are designed to minimize heat and noise. The documentation is still (twenty years later!) mediocre at best, but all you need to know is on one or two pages, and the software (if you want to connect the UPS to your computer) needs to be downloaded and is, at best, acceptable. Other vendors have nicer designs, better-written manuals, and better software, but after comparing this Tripp Lite with older Tripp Lites and some other manufacturers' units already in my house, I still strongly believe the Tripp Lite is the best built and best designed unit. A very good friend is a protection engineer, and she took the unit apart and pronounced the engineering "excellent".
If you want a space-age design and fancy software, then look elsewhere. If you want a UPS that is solid, rugged, reliable, and will be trouble-free for years, then this is one of your best choices. I have some Tripp Lites that have lasted close to a decade on the same battery, and have never seen one of their units fail (unlike some of the other UPS vendors). Extremely solid unit, and strongly recommended.
