    UPS for Home

    I've attached a printer, a higher end VR desktop, a monitor, and NAS into the UPS and it reports it'll hold all that for 20+ minutes. Since the real use for the UPS, for me at least, is to condition power and have enough time to gracefully shut down in the event of a power outage, this is perfect. Price point it pretty acceptable as well.

    APC Back-UPS

    I have used APC Back-UPS for about ten years. In that time I have had to replace batteries twice and have had to replace each unit about a year after replacing the batteries. One battery back up shorted out and the second one lost output power to the left bank. However, considering the cost of replacing the back up units as opposed to the possibility of having to replace computers, printers, modems, and or routers because of brown outs or surges is minor.

    This product was purchased for an office with thirty computer users. The install team said it was very easy to install - plug & play. It is light weight (relatively speaking) so it will not stress the bolts mounting the rack (it can also be set on the floor if you don't use a rack). The company has a good reputation for building quality products and this product is good.

    Very reliable product… Supplies enough power to keep my new iMac 27" 5k retina display and my 4 bay Drobo going without issue. I like the easy to read digital display of information, user replaceable battery, quality build housing. APC is a well known and respected name in the industry. If you buy this unit you won't be disappointed.

    I bought this item to provide enough up time for me to transition to my generator during a power outage. I have two 24" screens, printer, internet phone, and a Dell precision workstation connected to the power supply. Power has gone out multiple times. This unit lasts over 20 minutes.More then sufficient for my needs.

    I have owned many UPS brands and the APC is one of the best I have owned. They last well beyond their warranty expiration dates and replacement batteries are easy to find. I have one on most of my devices at home and did not feel the APS maintenance going on outside my house.

    We bought this unit for my Mom's new NUC setup. It's nice that she won't have to worry about any power fluctuations or short outages and it's even nicer that this unit has the feature that allows you to plug something in after an outage occurs instead of only the devices already plugged in. It's working great, now if only Windows would be as reliable.

    Purchased this for my client's server for a dental office. Trust APC and have had great success with their products. Instead of replacing the unit when the battery goes dead (3-4 years) you can replace just the batteries. Recommend the product.
