In Battery Backup (UPS)

I am impressed. The unit is much smaller in size than I expected. I have two new machines with PFC power supplies and a 20” LCD connected to it (about 270W) and it keeps them running on battery for 25 minutes. There is no noise and the unit runs very cool. Win7 recognizes it as a battery after plugging in the USB and no additional software is required. Newegg has excellent price and free shipping. I’ve only had it for two days so I can’t comment on reliability but I am already thinking of buying a second one. Packaging was very good (more on that later).

- It works - The instruction manual is seemingly completely idiotproof - Setup is fast and relatively easy - It's quiet - It draws very little additional energy - Battery arrives half-charged - plug and play! - Without any drivers, its USB cable tells Windows it's your battery as if you were on a laptop - I did not expect this and cannot express enough how cool that is to someone who's never had a UPS before - Display can show everything I would ever want to know

Excellent.

Easy setup Clean looking Easy management

I have 3 of these. The geometry works well for my use case. Has USB charging port.

I like this particular UPS… it’s 5 x 5 configuration (5 outlets battery / surge protected and 5 that are only surge protected) is already a step up from the CyberPower UPS that I have for our home theater system (which is only a 4 x 4). It also doesn’t have a blindingly bright LED power button on the front (which would make it ideal for a home theater setup). This UPS, like many others will protect all sorts of connections from power spikes / surges such as ethernet, coax (cable connection), and RG11 (plain-old-phone line). This UPS can communicate with the included PowerPanel software via either USB or serial cable (depending on your computer setup). The included PowerPanel software is not required to use the GX1325U, however it “enhances” your experience with it. The software installed just fine on my Windows 10 x64 Pro operating system and was connected to the UPS after I hooked up the USB A to B cable from my computer to the UPS. You get a ton of information… all events the UPS has been through, live statistics, you can even test the UPS right from PowerPanel. Using the included software sure beats climbing under my computer desk to cycle through all the stats on the front LCD panel. The USB ports on the front are a huge added bonus. I could see charging a few cellphones on these ports if the power ever goes out for an extended period of time. The GX1325U information states that it outputs pure sine wave output… so for folks that have newer power supplies that support Active Power Factor Correction, you’re in luck!

Affordable and reliable.

I have several APC Back-Ups and have never had a problem.

APC is a long standing great name in UPS devices. They work very well and give you time to properly shut down computers and other electronic equipment.

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.

Plenty of outlets, both batter-backup and surge-protected. No setup required, just plug it in. Battery replacement will be a snap when the time comes (battery cover comes off without having to undo screws). 650VA is plenty for a laptop & docking station, with a couple of monitors. The footprint isn't tiny, but small enough for my home-office setup.

- easy to use and setup - durable

Works as expected. keeps my devices running long enough for temporary power outages or for me to shut things down if I need to.

Been waiting for a storm to submit a review. This unit maintained my internet connection during a Tornado Warning and subsequent power outage. I love it!

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've read all the previous comments and when the APC arrived I was a little concerned regarding noise. Well after three months, I can hear nothing and the PAC sits about two feet away. The mfgr date was FEb/18 so that may help. The system has operated exactly as advertised and was super easy to install and use. It has been quietly doing its job since I got it and even though I have had 3 "Events" I did not know it until I looked at the display.

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.
