This unit offers true voltage regulation via battery. There are plenty of power options to customize each bank of outlets. The manual is a little vauge, but workable. THERE IS NO USB COMMUNICATION port or software to automatically shut down components before battery back-up runs out. The countdown display is great , but you must physically be there to softly shutdown a media server. The big wiring diagram silkscreened on top of the unit is kind of an eye soar, but if the unit is installed in a rack brackets included or other components sit on top, no big deal. The green power monitoring outlet is a nice touch. I like seeing the amount of power being used, kind of an eye opener to vampire standby power. This is currently one of the only UPS units that has a power and USB outlet in front. Not a big deal until you need it. Overall the unit has performed well and meets my needs. Monster needs to add USB communications and the unit will be a 10.
