I have to add, I'm selling my generators since my shark 6 gives 6kw on it's AC sockets, simplifies life for power backup and camping!

Normally they are pretty good, I didn't have too great an experience with them last year, but it was their supplier being full of it not them.

Had the LifePo solution from them but inverter kept popping.

After multiple RMAs, they then replaced with lower spec'd unit that charged slower and couldn't carry switch-over.

Popped again.

Ended up at ACDC, grabbed an el-cheapo inverter which blows their "solution" out of the water for half the cost - Zero issues since then.

The batteries are still rock solid .

Have just tried my River 2 on a couple of desktops. It switched over quickly enough to keep them running.

Just want to say, I ended up buying this UPS and I'm extremely happy with it. I can down my supply to work on it and not have to worry shutting down my servers first.

The only thing I can complain about re. this UPS is that it has the normal 12 watt overhead of running even after the battery is charged. I guess it's for the control unit. I'm sure these days we can come up with milliwatt replacements. until then, I love this unit. Thanks again.

Does it run very hot by any chance?

Saw the same product on takealot some time back with the reviews complaining of it being very hot. Geewiz just rebranding so it's probably the same thing.
