We use UPS backups on all of our computers, and this is the best available for the money. The 900 VA allows plenty of time to shut down my system without worrying about a full system failure. IT also keeps everything running during those short 1 or 2 second power outages we see infrequently. I really like the newer vertical design as it takes up much less floor space. I have bought these before, and will continue to do so in the future.

I needed a UPS for my aquarium components (filters, air pumps, etc.), but needed it to be space efficient. The configuration of the outlets on top worked perfectly to where I needed to place the UPS. I've always had great experiences with APC and this UPS is no different.

This UPS works well as far as I can tell. I did not like that the battery had to be connected and there were serious warnings about not doing this alone. I had a Geek Squad person do it.

BOUGHT THIS AS A NEW UNIT WHEN I GOT HOME AND UNBOXED IT IT HAD BEEN TESTED AND HAD STICKER ON SIDE OF UNIT IT WAS A REFURBISHED UNIT THE BATTERY WAS ALREADY HOOKED UP. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH BEST BUY FOR SELLING AS NEW. TALKED TO MANAGER AND ALL HE COULD DO WAS A REFUND SINCE HE DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER UNIT. HE COULDN'T EVEN TELL ME IF THE 3 YEAR MAN. WARRANTY WAS STILL GOOD.

I chose this UPS because you just can't beat the legendary reliability of APC (American Power Conversion). In my professional career I gained much experience with products manufactured by APC. It just seemed natural to want the same quality and dependability at home, the second unit that I have owned. This UPS offers a generous, higher than most, amp hour battery which equates to longer run time when the power is out. Plenty of outlets are provided, some with wide spacing for plug in power cube supplies. This means that adjacent outlets are not covered by these bulky cubes. Also there are 3 outlets, not connected to back up power for less critical devices. But they are surge suppressor protected. Sensitive electronics are protected by this feature. There are ample outlets eliminating the need for additional power strips. Also there is a LED indicator that your home supply power is proper, no faults present like a missing ground connection. For Windows users, Power Shute software is provided along with an interconnecting cable to your computer to safely automatically power down your machine so your data is preserved. In summary: this is a fine quality UPS with a large capacity battery at a very affordable price point with a great warranty.
