Dependable back up--clean pure sine wave power. It is cheap insurance for my OLED TV.
- can shutdown my computer after some time on battery. - Can power my 300W system for ~1H - silent operation - web GUI to monitor the system - installed agent popup a warning when power is lost. - warranty is for 3 years
Does what it says: Like any decent UPS, it conditions power, protects against surges/droops, and communicates back to my server about any power outage. That, and it was simple to setup. Its also pretty small for a UPS and wall mountable.
No hassle after a year. Connects to computer.
I've owned this UPS for several trouble free years and am completely satisfied with it's performance. I bought it when it was first coming to dealers. Newegg didn't even have it listed yet so I got it from another place. With computer (7 fans and single GPU), 42 inch TV, printer, modem, and router, I have 12 minutes of power before it's ready to shut things down. Setup is fairly easy with the software and I prefer to use the on-screen interface rather than the pendant. This thing is super quiet when you are not drawing power from it. I've called technical support before and was always treated with respect, having my questions answered.
I have the older APC SMC1500 and it has improvements. I like that this has more time when power is shut off. The APC SMT1500 C can handle heavier loads and the menu status screen is better even though it still has the same size screen.
Used it and the power soft software to prove that the power company needed to replace the transformer that was going bad for a number of years.
Very easy to setup either use the QR code on the top and go to smartconnect.apc.com and register there, the only complaint I have is the Product Key's last letter was cut off I had to guess it a few times in order to get it right. There are some advantages to having a cloud controlled UPS, it is much easier to setup alerting, actually it is all automatic, no need to specify a mail server, you are auto enrolled in the minimum level of alerts, which are critical and lifecycle events. 100% compatible with the PowerChute software. As with all other APC products, it comes with a "receipt" showing everything was testing and works before leaving the factory. Has a SmartSlot so you can connect either a SmartSlot card with networking for a web server or networking and environmental probes (these are not cheap), and depending on your use case may not be needed.
I have this UPS for more than 3 years. One day battery died on it. I took it apart and using heavy gauge speaker wire (gauge #2 for 200 Amps) connected to a large external sealed acid battery that I have for solar system. Now, this UPS can have more than 2 hours standby power when we had power failure last year.
Works great
I like the compact form factor and sine wave output, the status display, and the build quality looks solid.
Enough power and connections to keep your average desktop up or safely power down when the lights go out. Works smoothly with Network UPS Tools (NUT) under Linux. Informative LCD output. Compact size for easy placement. Replacement batteries inexpensive and easy to find. Worth every penny. I love it.
-web interface for management -email alerts -can do both web interface and USB for safe shutdown of computers or NAS
So far so good. The item works great. it has an APPLEESQUES look and has the plugs all on one side.
Nice LCD display, good value for the money
Easy to view screen is very helpful.
Does exactly what it's supposed to. The LED display works well, and the information it displays tells you exactly what you need to know. Sufficiently powers my i7/560Ti rig.
Nice LCD screen displays the internal information Easy to use buttons The ability to turn the power loss alarm off during extended power outages Sturdy enclosure Software to monitor the UPS's internal information and change control settings No noise when using line power
