Easy to hook up and get going. No issues. Tested it out, and it works great. My only wish is that the LCD display would stay on all the time. It would be nice to see the watts all the time and not just when it's under load - even then, it cuts off too quick. Maybe this can be added as a feature in a firmware update? Powerchute does show the load as well if you open the program. It's not that big of a deal, but it would still be nice.No crazy burning smells - no smell at all actually. Reading the reviews here you would think the thing is just going to explode. Maybe they fixed all this via firmware - all I know is that it works great. It's quiet. I was thinking this was going to sound like a transformer or something, but there is no noise that I can hear. From what I can tell, it doesn't produce any noticeable heat either. I am in an air-conditioned house. Yes, it's 80 degrees in December in North Carolina!
