Review:
I've had my HTUPS500 for 2 years, now and I'm fed up with it and will be getting something else. My biggest complaints are:

1. It doenst keep my components on very long when the power goes out, (like maybe 3 minutes tops with just my DVR turned on).
2. My biggest complaint is that when the power does finally come back on, the HTUPS-500 doesnt automatically turn back on, which means that my DVR doesnt come back on, and I miss TONS of programming, even if the power was only out for 10 minutes. You have to *manually* turn the UPS back on once power is restored.

For the money, I would expect more. I wont be buying any more Monster products. They are WAY over-priced for what you get.

My recommendation: Buy something else.

we just received our second new unit, and like the first it is dead on arrival. i'm embarrased that a supposedly high-end American company has such lousy quality control. i'm looking for something similar now, only made in Japan, where quality seems to be more of a concern.

The first unit I received was bad and Amazon exchanged it very quickly (within two days) and without any hassles. The second unit I received was bad as well. I contacted Monster and they said they would exchange the second bad unit. They mailed (USPS) me a UPS label to send it back. I sent it to them and about a month later, I received a third unit. It is working great. It didn't cost me anything to exchange the bad units, but waiting over a month was not any fun.

This is a great product for those who have a DLP TV. It is a must have to protect your investment. It has saved me about a half a dozen time so far and has worked flawlessly every time. It is also fairly attractive to have sitting next your your A/V components. The only thing that would be a nice thing to have is a dimmer on the LED's. Might be annoying if lose to your viewing area. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has a DLP TV.

300 bucks I paid for this and it lasted me only 2 years and then died. Is it worth it? What's a new bulb worth should the power go out and the bulb wear out faster than usual? Not as much as buying two of these units! I won't buy Monster again.

Flagstaff, Ariz., is the latest town to silence its train whistles, after federal rules have allowed this safety feature to be replaced by wayside whistles and cameras. Nationally, there are fewer towns willing to tolerate the noise.
