Goldenmate 800W UPS assessment: Minimal, but efficient energy source
Goldenmate 800W UPS review
Goldenmate’s UPS provides 800W of load-power to protect your setup from power surges and outages. Outages, voltage spikes and sags, and surges can be dangerous to sensitive equipment such as your computer. A UPS can protect your expensive electronics against these unwanted events and increase their longevity. Goldenmate is a company that produces power supplies using lithium iron phosphate battery technology. This UPS is white with a yellow accent on the side. This model is available in four and eight outlets. I tested the four-outlet model because it was the right number of outlets for me. Goldenmate 800W review – Under my Desk with LCD screen. The AC outlets are slanted which I find convenient to plugs that take up space and don’t block the other outlets. The LCD screen on the back shows input/output information. This is useful if the UPS needs to switch to its battery. Goldenmate 800W UPS review – Four AC outlets on the back.Goldenmate 800W UPS – Specs

Although I didn’t have any power issues during my test use, but the UPS proved to be great assurance, which is mostly what you’re paying for. The UPS is able to hold its own if there’s an outage or if you unplug it. The UPS will notify you immediately if there is a power issue by beeping in increments. It will also use the battery to keep all devices powered. The UPS took about an hour and 30 minutes to reach half battery with two monitors, USB dock, and PC connected. Goldenmate 800W review – Side view, all four outlets are being used. That’s enough time to keep your computer(s), or computers, on to finish the task you were working on and then turn them off if there is a long-term power outage. This UPS does not have a muted button, so you may have to endure the beeping noise for a long time. The UPS is quite large compared to regular power strips, but it can fit under most desks. The UPS was hotter, but it had fans to dissipate the heat. It never got hot to the touch even when using a battery. Goldenmate 800W – Nothing fancy and not much wrong with this 800W UPS. It is a simple device that still provides good surge and outage protection for those who are looking for a more casual solution. The only thing I have to complain about is the lack of a mute button. It does, however, do everything it’s supposed to. This UPS is a great choice if you’re looking for extra protection with your home electronics. It costs less than $200.
