In Battery Backup (UPS)

Pure Sine Wave power supply doesn't put unnecessary stress on modern power supplies. This product also takes up a minimal amount of space and shows up as a battery backup in OS X without any software or drivers. Here is what I have plugged into this UPS with only one bar on the load indicator: Mac Mini 2012 server (quad i7 with two HDD) and IPS monitor External thunderbolt with 3 Constellation ES.3 drives QNAP 2-bay NAS DSL Modem Airport Extreme

-Seems to last. -I can run my computer (with my Yeti and monitor) off of it for about 30 minutes, in the event of a blackout. More than I imagined, I just wanted something to last 5 minutes so that I can safely shut my computer down. -Easy to understand what everything means after reading the manual, such as if its green, blinking yellow, and other stuff.

Set up easy, works as expected.

Small for the capacity. Easy to set up, as in you don't have to connect the battery manually. Has a serial port connection as well as USB, so if I decide to move this thing to back up something running *nix later I know I'll be able to get it working, one way or the other. Display on the front is bright and easy to read, has some pretty good info on it to boot. It's really cool to see a UPS that will tell you the current power input AND output, how many watts your using, what your expected battery time will be should the power go out, and so on. My old APC sure as hell won't do that. The included software shows all the same information too, which is also great to have. Probably the feature I'm happiest about: you can turn off the annoying beeping on power loss, though you have to install the software to do it. I CANNOT overstate how much I was looking for that feature. I actually clipped the tone generator wires on my old APC backup unit, I was that desperate for a way to disable the annoying alarm. And really, I'm pretty sure I can figure out when the freakin' power goes out without being beeped to death. Unexpected bonus: comes with included coax (cable), RJ-11 (single-line phone), and USB A-to-B cables. Good quality ones too.

Bought this for the small footprint as it needed to sit in a small space. It was exactly what I was looking for and keeps my Fiber modem and ethernet adapter running for many hours. I like that you can disable the alarm easily and that it was very straightforward to hook up and power on.

It supplies backup power to the connected devices during storms. We connect our 5G Home Internet gateway to it, so the UPS keeps it running when there is a moment of outage.

Able to run my gaming computer at max potential with my monitor for 3 minutes or more, enough to withstand a electric blink.

Excellent.

Let me start off by saying, I have been using APC products by Schneider for more than 13 years, and have had many different models from Smart-UPS to Back-UPS, and all of them have performed excellent by keeping all of my very expensive equipment safe. To be completely honest with you, you would have to be insane to plug your expensive devises directly into the wall and not into an APC-UPS, but I would never use a low quality surge protector ,I would not dare plugging a $1,300 device in a $ 12 surge protector. I am currently using 3 APC-Back-UPS XS1500 protecting my very expensive water-cooled custom built computers at a value around $1,200 to $1,600. I would not trust another brand to protect my property. I am currently using the APC BE425M Back-UPS 425 VA 255 Watts to protect my entertainment system. 255 Watts is more than enough for a 50 inch TV, Small Form Factor PCs, and my eight channels surveillance DVR kit, and a 1000W 5.1 surround system. APC is the absolute best brand of UPS you can buy. Please do not wait till you have a lighting surge or some sort of power surge and destroy your property before you buy an APC-UPS.

Does what it says it does Arrived in good conditions

This is a great battery backup. I don't know of anything of comparible quality in this price range.

longer running times, uses the Powerchute app which is great.

What can I say, it does what it is supposed to do without unnecessary bells and whistles (or beeps). The price is reasonable. The wired remote display and control is a great feature.

Easy setup Clean looking Easy management

Does its job, worry free.

- Compact - Easy to set up

Ok, to get this out of the way--ONE button does everything. Not the most convenient thing for consumers to do but simplifies things for the maker of the product except when people call them and go "blah blah, how do I do this or dat?" The instructions come with it on how to set settings though. Voltage trip range could be set to sensitive, normal, or high. I left it on normal, which is preset, and it tripped once within a week--I heard a click from the unit, which means it activated. Also, audio alarm could be disabled (or couple other options as to when it would activate), all of which also is set by one button.. meh. You have to hold button for so long, blah, do so long of a press blah, blah blah... meh. Green power LED is very nice looking but too bright for bedrooms, so I had to put a sticky note paper over it and paint that area with a black permanent marker (in reverse order) to keep that light from shining brightly in the room. Overall: it is a very nice polished looking product for a reasonable price.

Great product. Seamless switch to battery. Quality of APC for homeowners needing low watt demand. DO IT its worth it!!!! *** I have more UPCs in a commercial environment than I know what to do with.......this is in my personal residence, I know what a good UPC is.

-Simple setup/operation -Just enough info on the LCD screen -Rock solid dependability

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!
