CyberPowerPC

In today's review, we are taking a look at the ValuePro VP1600ELCD, a popular low-cost UPS from CyberPower, the renowned US-based power systems manufacturer.

Truly, features such as built-in AVR and completely silent operation are very enticing at this price range from a renowned brand name. As with all things that are too good to be true though, there are tradeoffs.
