Having used multiple UPS units over the years, I found this one to be the best so far. APC understands the need of the home office user. I especially like the Master power off feature. You can plug your PC into the master outlet and when it goes to sleep there are two other outlets that will turn off a few seconds later. Great for energy savings. I plugged my two monitors and external ESATA Hard Drive into the other two outlets so, my whole system shuts down to save energy. You can easily enable or disable this feature and set the power threshold for the master outlet to match your unit. When the PC comes out of sleep mode, everything else turns on again automatically. Instant switching from AC to battery during a power outage too; my system never sees the change. I'm very pleased with the number of battery and surge protection outlets, a good choice for anyone in my opinion.

This was easy to set up and has kept my pc and peripherals going thru some very scary thunderstorms, protecting them from surges and allowing me time to shut down everything without losing data. It's footprint on my desktop is negligible and I like the little display that shows me the status when power 'events' are occurring.
