Easy to install Perfect size Simple User software interface
Easy setup. Works right out of box.
My+ old one died same modlue have had good service
Small size. Easy to plug-in sockets handled all my devices. Great price for my home system. Good job, APC.
Small and works great for the modem and router and other small power use.
- Low Cost - Relatively Small - Work perfectly for what I use it for (Lighting) - USB Charging Port is Nice... I use it to charge my cell phone instead of using a charging dongle - Spacing for the outlets is quite nice as well - I like the power cord, it has a nice length on it and an angle on the end
Easy setup Clean looking Easy management
- No fan noise - Long battery life - Easy to setup - LCD Display turns off when not in use - True sinewave - Smaller package than my other older UPS with more power. - Energy Star Rated
Well packed manufacturer packaging. Very clear multi-lingual user manual that is well worth the time reading the few pages in your chosen language. Very clear warning markers attached to UPS. Very difficult to install and use this unit without seeing the warning marker to connect the internal batteries. Silent operation; it does not have any fans on/in it that I can tell. Novel "master slave" outlet pairing. Lose power to the "master" device and the "slave" device turns off immediately. The manual tells me this feature is disabled by default, but read the user manual carefully to fully understand it's operation.
I'm using this UPS to provide backup power to the following: "Cable Gateway" (computer modem/IP phone) network router primary desktop computer 1 display/monitor cordless phone base unit. When the UPS is in standby (on AC power) mode the Power Panel software shows the "battery capacity" @ 100% and the "remaining battery runtime" to be 37 minutes at the load level created by the equipment listed above. I've been present for two power outages since installing the UPS. Here are my observations: The first outage was just a 2-3 second dip and when I opened the (previously downloaded/installed) Power Panel software the power had already returned. The software indicated that the "battery capacity" was 91% and the "remaining battery runtime" was 31 minutes. The 2nd outage lasted about 4 to 5 minutes. This time I opened the Power Panel software while the power was out and was observing the "current status" screen when the power came back on. When the power was restored the software indicated that the "battery capacity" was 73% and the "remaining battery runtime" was 21 minutes. These readings indicate that the battery discharges faster than one would expect based on the information shown when the UPS is "fully charged " and receiving AC power. While based on a VERY small information sample, I think the "remaining battery runtime" figures are probably skewed to the "charitable" side and one should not expect to keep on working for very long if the power goes out but rather should save their work and shut things down in an orderly fashion. Additionally the software is designed to automatically do a controlled shut down of the computer where the Power Panel software is installed either: a ... after 5 minutes of no AC (to preserve the backup battery for subsequent outages). or b ... when the battery is 5 minutes from depletion (to keep the protected equipment working as long as possible). In summary, I'm pleased with my purchase and here's why: Typically, in my neighborhood, power outages are more like the first one I described above ... just seconds long, rather than minutes or hours. With the most recent equipment upgrade, Comcast (my internet provider) no longer provides a backup battery for the Cable Gateway unit. As a result, whenever there was even the smallest flicker in the AC the modem/phone/desktop/router would crash and reboot (a rather time consuming evolution). Installing the UPS made more sense to me than buying a $40.00 backup battery for the rented Gateway equipment. Now, instead of the modem and router and desktop and phone crashing when the AC hiccups, things just "keep on keeping on" ... a very good thing in my opinion. And, it was on sale as well. So, this purchase gets a smile from me along with a 4 or 5 star rating.
We have these throughout our office areas to give employees a chance to save their work in the event of an outage. APC has been solidly reliable for years now on several different models of UPS, including these. Like the extra outlet that is offset for large AC adapters. Has four plugs for battery backup and four that provide surge protection only. Note that anything plugged into the four sockets labeled "Surge Protection" will not have power in the event of an outage. Those sockets are only for surge protection (thus the label.) The sliding panel on bottom for battery access is more convenient than the old ones that required a screw to be removed when you were going to initially connect the battery or replace it.
easy setup & works fine
Simple battery connection and change out, no need to use screws and dis assemble the unit like other brands. I have had these ware out over many many years but they still last the longest and easy to swap out old batteries is a must for me.
I like the software you can get from APC to adjust how this UPS works.
Easy to set up and use.
- Works perfect - Quiet
Delivery made rather than planned. Excellent
