        Comments about Tripp Lite ECO Series 550VA 8-Outlet UPS:

        We have several of these in our office, and after less than six months' use, the back-up outlets in five of them quit. The surge outlets still work, but the back-up ones don't, which makes them completely useless for PCs.

          Comments about Tripp Lite ECO Series 550VA 8-Outlet UPS:

          Great software management. Easy set-up. Love the "GREEN" feature of managing the power to peripherals. Using it on a PC with a monitor, printer, scanner, powered speakers. When the PC is powered off the peripherals are turned off. Has saved the PC and files on several power hits and short outages.

              A:

              Tripp Lite provides free PowerAlert software on their website that will shut down the computer if external power is lost. This software will work as long as the computer is attached to the UPS with a USB cable. This will happen unattended if no-one is there.
