APC BE350G Back-UPS 350 VA 6-outlet Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

Pros: Inexpensive Name brand

Cons: Low wattage

Overall Review: You have to know what you're buying. This unit will not power most modern desktop PCs. I have a larger capacity unit for my desktop. It will however run my cable modem/router combo for hours. Along with a laptop, this lets me ride out most power failures without getting thrown into the stone age. It's only about twice the price of a good surge suppressor and more effective against brownouts.

Pros: This is a relatively cheap UPS that is built to last. I have had one for about 3 years and another for a little over a year. These are NOT for unattended shutdown of computers. These are so that when you are on the last line of your 2000 word document (that you haven't been saving) and the power goes out for a second, you won't lose your work. They are also great for letting you know that the power is out in the middle of the night when you are sound asleep and it really doesn't matter!

Cons: No switch to turn off the alarm permanently.

Overall Review: If you live in an area that is prone to blips in the electrical supply, this baby will save you from a reboot in the middle of your work. Worthless if you have a laptop running on battery power. ....though it will charge the battery of your laptop (or Phone!) during a long power outage. You'll just have to deal with the alarm!

Pros: work good for when i have a storm and the power flickers on and off

Cons: none so far

Pros: Works great, loud alarm, lots of outlets.

Cons: Less than 90 days and my battery went bad, contacted APC and they are sending me a replacement battery, so in this aspect it is exactly why i purchased from APC, 3 year warranty. the reason i still have 4 egg review, because it will work fine after a new battery is in it, and faulty batteries happen. but them charging 0 to replace, and FREE return shipping is great.

Pros: Seems to be doing the job.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: We've had big storms and blizzards where I live this winter and 1 of my 2 computers just can't take the slightest 1/10 of a second cut of electricity. It just dies while my other computer lives on without noticing. Got this thing yesterday and it's another stormy night tonight. I saw the lights flickering again 3 or four times. The exact thing that on any other day, my computer would've shut down. All I heard was a bip from the APC telling me that something happened and... Computer stayed on without shutting off or even having any apparent shortage. I guess it worked as intended. It's a 6 outlets (3 protected by the battery and 3 normal surge protected ones) and I have the computer, the rooter and the monitory on the 3 first, all the rest on the 3 others. I can't say how much time it can last but I'm confident that now, I'll be at least able to close my work properly instead of losing everything.

Pros: Got these to protect several budget office systems (150w max) demand and they work fine. Have 4 battery backup outlets - means the computer, monitor, external drive can all be plugged in. Another 4 surge only outlets for heavy draw equipment such as a laser printer, fan and such.

Cons: No Auto shutdown feature - You have to be near when the power goes out. Does not like high demand systems. They will beep if you exceed their rating (200watts for this unit) and will not allow you to power on such a system on battery backup outlet.

Overall Review: Keep in mind that this unit is not powerful enough to run a system for more then 1-2 minutes. Long enough to get through a brownout or other power drop. Otherwise, it's long enough to safely shutdown/hibernate your system before they're dead.

Pros: Works great with zero failures. Easily replaceable battery. I now own five and will not buy any other brand because I know what batteries each unit takes and where I can buy replacement batteries ay 1/3rd the cost APC charges.

Cons: The 350va units now do not come with the USB cable.

Pros: Works.

Cons: Not quite enough wattage to keep my system up if my power goes completely out, but I'm only having quick brownouts that don't even cause a hiccup to my HX850 anyways.

Overall Review: Got this because I was having voltage drops when my central air kicked on, causing my router with its poor power supply to drop connections. Got this on sale because I didn't want to replace my router.
