Eaton 3S 850VA / 510W Standby Powerboard Desktop UPS, 4 X Sockets with Battery Backup - 4 X Sockets with surge protection, 2 X USB Charging ports - 2 Years Warranty

The plugs are the wrong way around and too close together so I can't use all the outlets. Very poor design. Also, I can't work out how to change any settings. I go to the website listed in the manual but there is no app to download or other information - sent a support message and never got a reply. I would probably get another Dynamix one if doing it again - that worked well and easy to customise. The plugs are the wrong way around and too close together so I can't use all the outlets.

Very convenient device. Frees up an extra power multi-board. Note: Only 4 ports have battery backup, other 4 are for surge protection only. The gap between the 2x 4 power strips needs to be wider because with a router power plug (that hangs further out vs a normal computer plug), it goes over and covers the USB ports and will block ability to plug another device into the other power port opposite it.

Does what it says, but a) plug sockets should be the other way around because bulky adapters opposite each other don't fit and b) some could have better spacing in-between to fit bulky power supplies Does what it says, but a) plug sockets should be the other way around because bulky adapters opposite each other don't fit and b) some could have better spacing in-between to fit bulky power supplies

Been using other brands of UPS over the years and have had nothing but issues. Short life, bulky and batteries failing prematurely.
This is a good buy- cheaper with bigger battery capacity and more outlets. Warranty is better too.
Yes it’s still quite big, but with 8 outlets you can get rid of all your other power boards and use this (4 of the outlets are surge protection only).
Only downside is the outlets are close together, so with DC power adapters plugged in it can be a squeeze- I had to cut the “wings” off my Raspberry Pi adapter.
USB charging ports are a nice addition.
Overall a good product and I’m very happy. Been using other brands of UPS over the years and have had nothing but issues. Short life, bulky and batteries failing prematurely.

Seemed simple enough, plug in and wait for a power cut.....first power cut and this unit alerted me to it via a loud beep but failed to power even a simple LED light. Assume is a dud unit so have returned.

Some of the plug sockets are very loose so in some cases devices wouldn't power on as the contacts weren't seated. All in all not a great experience, let's hope it's a one off.

Almost 2 years and still going strong. Saved me a few times during power outages. But some things dont work on this UPS when running on battery power like my router and ethernet switch which was pretty lame so its just keeping my PC up... IPP software is cool I finally actually configured it for my 'server' to shutdown and power on gracefully. Set bios power state to 'always power on after power loss' to have the PC power back on after a graceful shutdown... and set IPP to turn off the outlet group after shutdown.

The odd layout will result in some fatter chargers/plugs to block other slots, whereas there is a noticeable coil whine when the battery is charging.

I'm very pleased with this UPS, at this price it is an absolute winner. It supports a few smart home devices and is able to keep them running for quite a while. The USB ports are a neat extra, I use them quite often to charge devices. The only downside is the baffling inward socket orientation. I would have to fit a few adapters to use the extra four surge protected sockets. I'm very pleased with this UPS, at this price it is an absolute winner.

Works really well filtering unstable power and gives plenty of time for controlled shutdown during an outage. Works really well filtering unstable power and gives plenty of time for controlled shutdown during an outage.

Running a video show at a concert of over 7000 people on a NUC Extreme I wanted some reassurance that if we lost power that the computer and monitors would stay stable while we restarted the projectors. Of course it didn't happen in the show but it was reassuring when everything kept going when I pulled the power to test it!

Generally this has been working well, through a few recent power surges everything has remained stable.

But it will not be able to self power down in an emergency because I have needed to uninstall the software. It is probably not compatible with Windows 11. There have been so many problems with the software. I have tried to reach out to tech support, but there has been no response.

Should have purchased one of these a while ago, have not had power cut at this stage (hopefully not at all) but with this I should not lose any of the project I am working again.
Would recommend anyone doing work that is important, should have something like this to give them protection. Should have purchased one of these a while ago, have not had power cut at this stage (hopefully not at all) but with this I should not lose any of the project I am working again.
