Many also appreciate its surge protection capabilities and the competitive price point. While some users noted the weight and occasional fan noise, the positive feedback on key features outweighs these minor drawbacks.

    Works as promised, battery lasts about 5 years - either the battery will die or the unit will die within that time - but you get your moneys worth.

    I have bought this brand before and was pleased with the results. I bought another one recently and expect it to last a long time as well.

    My old Battery back up died. and I needed a replacement. APC has always been trustworthy and quality customer service. to match it. This is a good item to purchase and use. it will regulate the power going into your electronics. they can be used on any electronic item. its best for PC and printer use as bad power or dirty power can mess up your electronic items fast. This device will soften that and ensure you can shut down your electronic items Buy it you wont go wrong. Also this is a larger item than normal.. It does have some weight. and I had to modify a shelf to put up off the ground. so make sure the shelf you place this on can take its 30 lb. weight. It is also a bit longer than usual too. so a 12 inch regular shelf wont work for it. I had to expand a shelf to 16 inches and it sits just fine next to the printer. Dont let its weight scare you. it is heavy but it pays for itself by saving your equipment. Make sure to use good shelf brackets also That are nearly the length of the shelf or 3/4 of the shelf in length. It will stay put if you make sure the brackets are placed into wall studs. Dry wall will not hold the shelf up.

    I rely on my computer for my livelihood and can't afford for it to be damaged in a power fluctuation/outage. I've used APC over the years, they tend to last long and serve well. When I needed a new one, this met the specs recommended by my IT consultant. It set up easily and went right to work protecting my system.

    I own several of these similar units (different capacities) now, and I have also owned a good number of older units over the years. They have always been reliable and have always provided protection when needed. I am glad to finally see a significant improvement in connection and disconnection of the batteries and the improved self-diagnostics. Maybe I will just replace the batteries in these newer models whenever they wear out. I never felt comfortable replacing batteries in the older models so I just retired them.

    It works great. It saves the computer from even the smallest flicker of power. When the power is on, it is quiet. When it is off, you can hear the fan. A little noisy but not at all uncomfortable.

    This product could be considered overkill for me but I wanted this Back-UPS to go above and beyond my needs. The 10 outlets are more than adequate to provide surge suppression and battery backup. The battery backup is important to me since I have had several power outages at the most inconvenient times.
