Never misses a beat

- The APC DE600M1 Back-UPS 600 VA 330 watts is a lot smaller than some other similar units. - Just plug it in, plug in whatever devices you want on either battery / surge (5 outlets) or just surge (2 outlets), press the power button and it just goes! - I really enjoy the PowerChute software with the Back-UPS. You can configure the utility to safely shut your computer down under specific circumstances (either when the computer has been using the battery backup for a selected amount of time OR shut your computer down when the battery only has a selected amount of time left). Connect the USB cable from the Back-UPS to your computer. Download the PowerChute software from APC-dot-com. Run the installer and you’re good to go. Launch the PowerChute software and you get different options like Monitor System (Performance, Current Status, Run Self-Test, and Energy Usage), Configuration (Options, Run-time, Notification, Sensitivity, and Voltage), Help and Support (Help, Technical Data, Contact APC, and About). While you could use this as a stand-alone battery backup, the Back-UPS’s full potential is unlocked when you use PowerChute! - It has a USB port on the Back-UPS for charging your mobile devices (1.5A).

mounted to the wall easily. everything works as expected

I didn't know what to expect as this is my first purchase of such a device, but it was shockingly heavy for its size. The batteries inside came pre-charged to some extent, as it turned on when I pressed the button on accident while maneuvering it after I plugged them in. Looks to be in great condition, instructions were simple enough, the device functions seemingly as intended.

I forget that it is working in the background. No problems.

We have a tankless water heater which is gas driven but has electronic components thus will not work when the power is out. I needed something that would keep the tankless water heater working. Have not had to use it for real but did a test and was able to run a hot shower for 30 minutes and still only used 2/5 of the battery capacity. This unit is reasonably priced for what I needed. I like that I can replace the battery when needed in a few years without having to purchase an entire unit.

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

Pros: * form factor allows under table mounting of UPS with great access to outlets and on/off switch * the CPS USB controls available via USB interface works with many devices out of the box without additional software * wide variety of Windows/MacOS/Linux hosts supported, most commercial NAS devices (QNAP, Synology), even a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4!

Well packed in box; simple to remove and attach rackmount adapters. Very secure mounting in rack - I currently have three reverse-mounted and they feel quite stable. LCD panel is highly informative - shows current load and estimated runtime off battery, as well as battery charge state and voltage information. During power outage, performs exactly as expected: keeps servers up (for approximately 20 minutes at half-load). All servers tested run Gentoo Linux with NUT, and the USB connection correctly interacts with the Linux system to shut down the servers before power loss occurs.

I work in music recording/mixing studio environments and am extremely fussy about equipment that generates noise. I'm pleased to say that after several months of continuous use, this Li-Ion APC rack unit met and possibly exceeded expectations. When in ideal conditions, the unit is literally silent. No fan noise, no hum, no buzz. The only time noise has been observed is either when the unit is charging (due to a power failure) where very minimal self-noise is inevitable, or in an under-voltage condition (117V or under) where the internal circuitry activates in order to boost the output voltage. In comparison to APC's own legacy units (ie: 2U 750VA-1500VA lead acid monsters) which I have been using for over 15 years - they had frequent noticeable cooling fan noise, and could produce undesirable self-noise when approaching maximum load. And anecdotally, I have had one or two units fail over the years and drop the load.

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!

Does exactly what it is supposed to. It runs my computer and dual 21.5" monitors for fifteen minutes, plenty of time to power down safely, or bridge the gap in a short power outage.

Easy to setup. My NAS recognized it right away. Nothing special required.

ALWAYS use a battery backup! The LCD readout on the front is a nice feature. Watch the youtube video review. This has a cool "master/slave" feature for conserving power. Plug the computer into "master". Plug the monitor, printer, etc, into slave. When you turn off the computer, it cuts power to the other components.

Can handle demanding load Easy setup Good customer support Easy tracking of power usage

It has displays and readings for anything you could need. I even know when there has been a power fluctuation with audible clicks. Its been working great since I got it 8 months ago. It gets a real workout during the storms around here.. Be sure to register it for your warranty

Stopped my PC from turning off when the power flickers.

Compact, quiet, high quality, great power. It works great at providing power for my gaming pc as well as my home theater sound system that includes an amp and a subwoofer. Had the power cut out a week ago for a few seconds and I didn't even notice a flicker in the monitor. I highly recommend this unit.
