    I chose this model because it fit my requirements at a reasonable price. I work from home. Power goes out a couple times a week. It's usually a quick flash but can go out for an hour+ (new home construction in the area partly to blame). I need to keep alive a laptop docking station, internet router, and two 24" monitors. After doing the math this back-ups would keep me going for a little over an hour. This covers 99% of the power outages I encounter. As a bonus I like the visual battery level indicator and the vertical form factor. My last back-ups was the flatter brick shape which didn't fit well anywhere for me. It looks good a fits neatly under my desk.

    The unit I bought was a little more difficult to setup than I was expecting. I have not had a power outage or surge since I installed the unit so I can't say how it did until I have an outage or surge. It comes with software that allows one to setup criteria for how one would handle surges and outages. I had to call tech support to get help getting the software downloaded correctly. The support agent was knowledgeable and friendly. She got me operational in 10 minutes.

    Was looking for a good UPS to avoid interruptions during the spring weather. This one had a good battery life and the display on the front keeps you informed on the status of the unit. Good buy.

    I have two of these plus three smaller APC UPSs and they have worked remarkably well. I really like this unit because of the high wattage support and the interface with my computer. I am using one of these on my home entertainment center and one on my computer/network center. I highly recommend this unit to anyone.

    Been using this UPS with a Linux computer for about a month or so now. Appears to work as it should so far. Have experienced three events just since I purchased it and handled them beautifully. I like the slim profile and love the digital display.

    Replaced my Back-UPS 750 with this unit (Back-UPS NS 1080) as the old unit was 5 years old and showing signs of needing a battery replacement. Got new unit with advanced features, higher output, and better price than using APC's upgrade service - and Best Buy will take back the old one for proper recycling.

    I needed a new, larger UPS for my desktop, as the system has grown larger over the years. With 5 disk drives, a hefty graphics card, my monitor, cable modem, router, etc., my small UPS wasn't providing enough power for an orderly shutdown. This system does exactly that and has worked great for me.

    Decent life time after power outage. Helps keep our computers up and running long enough to shut them down properly and still has plenty of life left at that point as well.

    The UPS worked exactly as I hoped it would. It was easy to setup and helps to protect a Network printer and PC from power surges and short term power outages.

    Great UPS, reliable and a lot of battery. I mainly got this to regulate voltage on my tv and gaming systems(brownouts and such). Since These don't draw much power it has almost an hour of time after the power goes out(which is nice that the LED display shows while the battery is on).

    Battery back works as intended. Actually use to limit impacts on saltwater reef tank from brown out events. Protects expensive equipment from surges.
