    Keeps my PC protected through severe thunderstorms

    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.

    I added this to my gaming system I just built. I wanted to make sure it was protected by the sporadic power outages. It works great. Does everything it says it does and is easy to install. It's plug and play so you instantly can see the charge on it when you open your windows computer. Has plenty of charge to allow me to shut down my computer properly and also protect from surges.

    I am a IT Manager for my company and we use APC products for server racks and small machines. We have purchased this unit before for company use and purchased it for my home office. Saved me several times. Very easy to set up and use. We switched solely to APC since they have a solid reliability and good tech support. They are great units.

    APC - The Best

    Purchased this unit to replace my old XS 1000, which has provided many years of reliable protection. The new BN1080G has provided excellent protection so far, and is easy to install, and use. The APC- Powerchute software is also very helpful, in monitoring the system.

    I'm using this APC BN1080G UPS to protect and back up my office CPU, monitor, and external hard drive. I've always protected my equipment with APC products because they are well made, and I'm confident they will prevent surge and power outage protection. This was easy to install and set up. The instructions are easy to follow.

    Best Bang for the Buck!

    Terrific packaging. Second-to-none design and manufacturing. Critical safety placards in plain view. User-friendly. Serves as the sole power backup to my portable oxygen generator and my smartphone. Reliable. Small enough to fit easily on the floor behind the passenger seat in our family sedan. Hint: Due to the relatively heavy weight of the APC power backup, recommend purchasing a large heavy-fabric shopping bag or beach bag to carry and store the unit during charge cycles. The bag should have large comfortable handles.

    As usual APC delivers excellent power for a desktop and associated hardware. Simple to install and to integrate with Windows for auto shutdown for extended power outages. A must for any computer system.

    I have two, one for home office and one for entertainment center. It is easy to install and works really well. I chose over others due to there being four powered outlets instead of three on other brands.

    This model is simple and easy to use. The digital voltage readout is helpful in knowing exactly what type of power you are dealing with and that the unit is functioning. I have had generally excellent results with APC items. Placing the order on Best Buy's website was easy and efficient; shipping was fast and accurate.
