Runs very quietly

Posted by: Grayolelady from Springfield MO on 05/31/2013Once setup, It's working perfectly and I hardly know it's there! Haven't had an event that it was needed yet, but I'm confident it'll work when I need it.

Great value for home office protection
5
Posted by: BZim from PA on 04/15/2013Moved to a new home and experienced several power outages. The huge storms were easy to anticipate losing power, but the short outages are unpredictable and causing problems which caused the purchase.
Out of the box easy set up. Cool feature that monitors my iMac for sleep/hibernate and turns off my printers when inactivity occurs - turns everything back on when the computer goes active. Program monitors and shows the power savings. Note: The software does not install on Apple.
The UPS cleans the power (frequency and amplitude), will back up my specific load for 33 minutes, shuts down my devices properly when approaching battery limit, hot swap battery and saves energy too.
Home office running iMac, notebook (runs APC software), HP All in One, HP laser, backup drive, network switch and IP phone.
Highly recommended.

APC - Back-UPS XS 1300 VA Tower UPS - Black
5
Posted by: LVLM from Rowland Heights, CA on 03/24/2013I have been using since with the original company and now with Schneider Electronic for 15 years. I have come to trust the product and the technical support that is behind the product. I use this product at home to power my server and it works great. I use other APC products to power my business needs. Overall I like the company very solid. The Customer Support is excellent, and brilliant in the way they handle their business.

great battery backup

Posted by: colt1911 from college station,texas on 11/25/2012The ALF backup has met all expectations so far. I have already experienced several power failure and the backup has allowed me to save important work before shutting g down the computer.

The Standard in Battery Backups
4
Posted by: MJ3227 from Alexandria VA on 10/08/2012Plug and Play for the most part. Works seamlessly with Apple products. I have had several different backups over the years and have a 1500 and 1300 APC currently. Sometimes out of the box these batteries are old. Battery Plus has replacement batteries if you ever need them.

Great but installing software ...
4
Posted by: Luv2bSly from NE IN on 08/23/2012This is my third UPS from APC. It seems harder and harder to find the Powerchute Personal Edition software. Would be nice if it was included or mentioned in the documentation. It would also be nice if the instructions told you to remove the old software, add the new unit and then re-install the software. "Plug-N-PRAY" from Windows at it's best...
Otherwise it is GREAT and performs like a champ!!! I really appreciate the slimmer model vs the previous model.
I will continue to buy.

Great worry-free device
5
Posted by: TMajava from Clermont, FL on 07/01/2012I needed a replacement for a non-USB backup power supply that was no longer working. This device was relatively inexpensive for its class. I was impressed how easy the setup was and the monitoring software was extremely intuitive. Since installation, I have noticed that it has taken over three times in 2 weeks (FL is known for its frequent storms and the power is not reliable at times) . I was pleased to see that it even took over when the outage was only 5 seconds. This sure helps with my router which does not handle short surges/outages very well.
