I don't have a lot of experience with UPS units as this is the first unit I have ever used, but this UPS is fantastic.
I had already an APC and I decided to change it by this heavier model, since I aggregated some peripherals which were overloading the former one.
It brings great peace of mind and removes a lot of trouble as when there is a surge with the cable TV it sets all shows to "To Be Announced" for all channels.
We experienced one brief power outage since buying the UPS.
I purchased the 750VA/450 Watt APC Battery Backup ES Series after a power surge or interruption fried the power supply on my desktop.
I only buy the name-brand APC batteries and never had a problem.
I paid a premium price to get the APC name-brand battery replacement, only to be hugely disappointed by the condition of the item, and questionable packaging.
I received my replacement APC RBC17 battery within a couple of days of placing the order even though I didn't request any special delivery!
I replaced my older APC Backup with a new bigger one.
I was very happy with the product.
Bought the Tripp Lite to power a laptop for ham radio mobile contesting.
I have used it with lets' say 1) Think pad Laptop charger, 2) Ipod Charger 3) Cell phone charger and it has worked flawlessly.
I have used this unit occasionally.
I puchased this inverter to power my laptop.
I used the Tripp lite to charge my PowerBook and digital camera during a cross country trip to grad school.
I use this unit for a laptop and this cobra bites its own tail instead of charging my laptop.
Bought this recently and it works wonderfully in my car to power a number of small AC equipment.
GREAT PRODUCT SHIPPING WAS GREAT BEST PRICE WILL ALWAYS SHOP WITH AMAZON
Cons: Outlets too close together for power bricks (but I'd rather have a small unit and use an extension cord).
I bought this to replace two Cobra 150 watt units as the units worked but the fans kept burning out and once it can't cool itself it turned off.
I have owned 7 or 8 UPS's from several mfg's mostly APC and this is a well designed, fully featured unit.
I have this UPS protecting my 52" LCD tv, the dvr, stereo, xbox 360, and wii.
The PC Tech at my local retailer suggested getting a UPS system to keep my hardware safe from power noise and surges.
I purchased this to backup my home entertainment system.
I like the APC products and needed to upgrade.
APC makes very good products; I have been using their stuff for over 20 years and have only had one problem that APC support took care of quickly.
Using an APC BR1500 UPS and the apcupsd software package on each of the two workstations, both machines had an approximate battery backup period of 12 minutes.
I erroneously entered the wrong shipping address and thus never received the product.
Making this the cheapest "Extended Run" UPS from APC.
I own 2 APC RS1500 UPS's with BR24BP battery packs attached.
Got the product within no time.
Went back to Franke original product since it lasts longer.
