    Bought it for additional battery backup for the company IT equipment but, it already protected our network hub and switches when lightning hit the building and fried the TV plugged into the outlet next to this UPS. Wish the outlets would allow larger plugs to not restrict some outlets from being available.

    The product is reliable but the value is off. Best UPS for the amount of use it will get but not worth it in long run.

    No longer functions after ~1year

    The battery backup-portion of the unit completely failed after about a year, now it only functions as a heavy power strip. Every outlet on the battery backup portion no longer works and the unit does not power on. There weren't any surges or power losses when this happened either (which is what it's designed to handle so I'd be surprised if that's what caused it to fail). Followed manufacturer troubleshooting to no avail. Still under warranty, however I'm still quite disappointed.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about our BN1050M UPS. I am sorry to hear of the issues you are facing and apologize for any inconvenience it has caused. Typical life span of UPS on average is 7-10 years but that will depend on environment and factors such as input power quality. Also this UPS would come with a 3 year warranty just in case there are factory defects. At your earliest convenience please reach out to APCbySchneider to troubleshoot the issue further and find out root cause and if it is due to a factory defect we can send you a replacement.

    WiFi backup

    Great to have the battery backup that is plug and play for when the power goes out. For short/intermittent power outages or even electrical work in the house it is convenient to avoid a complete reset of my WiFi and network equipment
