CONCLUSION

   First of all, you may have noticed that this time over I didn’t do a presentation of the Upsilon 2000 software (you can see one here) and the why I already mentioned, I simply threw away the user manual which included the serial number (did reach out to Green Cell for a new serial but I never got one). With that out of the way the RTII UPS13 1000VA is a mixed bag for me honestly. On one hand it did very well in my power disruption/disturbance and battery life tests but on the other the fact that its noise levels while in battery operation are almost the same with when plugged into the power makes it very hard to use it inside a home or even the office (unless you can place it in a separate room). And then there’s a strange electrical noise coming from the unit as soon as I plug a device on one of its IEC power ports. So far that hasn’t proven to be an issue since everything has worked well and issue-free but it clearly doesn’t inspire confidence and even though I did mention this to Green Cell noone got back at me (my email ended up in their SPAM folder so they did reach out to me at the time of this publication).

   How about price? Well, the good news is that the RTII UPS13 1000VA by Green Cell retails for around 240Euros inside the EU a price tag which is actually very good for a pure sinewave model. Unfortunately, even if I was to leave out noise levels completely from my conclusion with my review sample having that electrical noise coming from it at all times, I really can’t recommend it. If Green Cell replaces it further down the road and the new one doesn’t make the same noise then sure, that would mean it was an isolated issue, until then however it’s not something I can do (which is a shame really cause the unit did perform very well overall).
