APC BE750BB 750 VA 450 Watts 10 Outlets UPS

Pros: None

Cons: 3 year old inventory

Other Thoughts: This UPS was DOA. APC support is non-existant. Chat support was not available and email support was DISABLED making it impossiblre to contact the manufacturer.

According to the included Quality Assurance test printout, this unit was manufactured on 4/28/10, making it over 3 years old. I can't believe that Newegg shipped 3 year old inventory. The shelf life of the batteries in these units is about 3 years.

Pros: Plenty of power. We had a big storm in the area the day after I set this up. This unit kept my computer and monitor running smoothly through the electrical surges. I think it's the best investment I've made.

Cons: none I can think of at the moement

Pros: Works to the extent I need it... a lot of outlets, so far they've worked really well for me.

Cons: The beeping... I don't think there's any way to turn off the beeping when the power goes out. I don't need them to tell me the power is out, it's usually pretty obvious. With five units in the house, it's pretty overwhelming when the power goes off.

Other Thoughts: I bought three of these last year after a 5 minute electrical storm fried my Tivo. I recently bought two more for a total of 5, and have a total of four desktops, one laptop, two Tivos, two TVs, three printers, and some networking equipment all protected, and most of it UPS-ed. Usually we get power "blips," those 5 second deals that just screw everything up... everything keeps running smoothly. If the power stays off for more than a few minutes, we'll turn things off to keep things like the Tivos and networking equipment running for hours.

Pros: I have had this unit for two years. It was shipped in a box that was damaged, but the unit and the battery have worked perfectly 24x7x365 providing power to three simple home file servers and 1 21" CRT. With four devices using power it provides about 10-15 minutes of uptime. The non-battery backup ports also provide clean power to other electronics.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Not sure how long the battery will last. Over 2 years of continuous use on the original battery.

Pros: Very compact unit with all the outputs I neede and then some. It has worked flawlessly since 1st plug-in. Does excellent job of keeping voltage maintained to my own set level. Buy this - its all you need for voltage regulation - to eliminate brown-outs of your system.

Cons: None

Pros: Supplies plenty of power to all my speakers, twin monitors, xps tower and several other large accessors. Plenty of battery backup inputs AND the off-to-the-side inputs for transformers (so they don't take up multiple inputs)

Cons: My dad's gave out several months ago during a strong lightening storm, but it took all of the damage and didn't cause any damage to the computer or accessories, so it works (but it didn't last through the storm like we expected it to).

Other Thoughts: Excellent backup. We had power surges and dropouts every 10 minutes for 2 days last week and it held up great. My computer never shut down and no harm was done either to my computer or to the backup. Highly recommended especially for the low price!

Pros: Not a great big UPS, but I just wanted a little time to shut down if needed and ride through line disturbances.

Cons: APC is very quiet on what size the battery is. The want to sell the next one for above going cost. No problem, just measure the size and order from your local distributor.

Pros: Lots of volts. Quick, responsive backup/monitoring. One side provides battery backup/protection while the other side just protection only.
High speed internet and cable protection, too.

Cons: Lousy software for Vista. A previous APC product I owned had software compatibility issues, too. Vista is relatively new so hopefully they'll get their act together.

Other Thoughts: Good amount of battery for a 750 watt PSU, 2 HD's, 2 DVD drives, 19" LCD and a 8800GTS.

Pros: Sturdy unit, lots of outlets.

Cons: I had a black which lasted no more than 15 min, yet the software says it was 6 hours and 49 min. Originally the battery capacity was 48 min fully charged now it says it's 37 min.. I just recently purchased the product and this is the first black out. Why is this being reported like this, I expected reasonably accurate reporting. Is this a software bug? A defected battery and or unit?

Other Thoughts: Sent a email to them for support.

Pros: Latest of many APC UPS units I've bought. Never a problem with any of them. Decent software. Easy to put into operation.

Cons: Zilch.

Other Thoughts: Replacement batteries are readily available. Solid choice if you need a UPS.
