    Purchased this unit about two years ago to replace an APC unit that had worked very well for several years and through one battery replacement. So far it has worked very well and easily connected to a new desktop computer purchased about one month ago.

    Noise

    Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    Works well but emits a high frequency sound period

    It's alright for the price. Apparently these units emit a high frequency chirp periodically. Mine does it but it does not bother me as much as it bothers some of the reviewers. However, because of that, I feel this product should not be rated over 3 stars even if it functions well. I have never used a UPS before that makes noises like this. I have another APC UPS (Back UPS Pro) and it's silent. The only time a UPS should make any noise is when it's providing backup power.

    I have one of these plugged up to my gaming rig and every time we have a blackout out and brown out this has worked perfectly. I also constantly use the ports in the front to charge my electronics as well. A quality product for over a year.

    Purchased to replace failed APC M900 (APC stood behind their product warranty). I have another unit like this for home use (this one for an orchestra that I support). Both units function reliably and flawlessly to render voltage variations and outages nugatory.

    This is one of several I have to protect my sensitive equipment around the house. In fact, the day after I installed this latest one, the power grid in the neighborhood momentarily went off but the battery backup kept things running without any interruption.

    Got this UPS for the PS, TV, and router. It is decently built and has seemed to do it's job during any unexpected power outages. It has enough power to keep router running for a good amount of time, and gives you enough time to turn off other devices connected to it. For PC's would recommend a sinewave and not simulated sinewave UPSs

    Used to power router and cable modem. The display indicates they should have power for 20+ hours but haven't had an outage that long yet. Did make it through about 4 hours while also charging a MacBook Air.

    This is my second APC Back-up UPS. They have saved me several times over. Huge thunderstorms and multiple power fluctuations in my area caused me to buy the second one. No problems with these units at all, so far. Will buy more, if needed.

    I’m no techie and had to replace an old battery back up unit in an emergency situation for our business. Customer service recommended this unit when I specified I needed one that was basically plug-and-play. This was the perfect unit for us!

    I got this because our power was out and our generator kept turning off. This bridged the gap so my internet would not keep turning off and back on. It also kept my tv and dvr running when the generator turned off and back on.

    I've only had to use this once so far for about 30 seconds but it worked well for my desktop gaming computer. The program that you download with it is actually pretty good and comes with some interesting stats to look at.

    Good back-ups, had an old model and this was a good replacement. I've 2 computers and 1 monitor connected and according to some tests I might get around 30 minutes of power, so far it's working fine.

    So long story short my server kept getting yanked off the mains when I didn't want it to. Had to rebuild my windows home server image (which was a massive pain, I'm a busy guy after all) bought this--zero issues since. don't be like me and wait until the fix eats hours of your time just get a UPS now. as for this model in particular battery capacity is adequate and the software it comes with is oddly alluring, no I'm serious I spent way longer than I'd like to admit just starring at the power statistics, real time power usage, and estimated battery life based on current load.

    Although I did buy a little bit of an under powered UPS, it works as advertised. I have quite a few power interrupts at my house, especially during the rainy months with the Thunderstorms and stuff, so I was especially interested in protecting my investment. This is just the right product for anyone looking to ensure they don't have any power issues when the time arises.
