Despite some opinions that favor the RS series this UPS represents an incredible value for its price. APC has been around since the 80s and they make the best surge suppressors and UPSes on the market. from Circuitcity.com It's nice to install something that works without tinkering. I took it out of the box, hooked up the batteries, set the parameters (without a laptop PC), then walked off and left it. from Circuitcity.com It's the single best piece of gear that I have added to my project. I would totally recommend this unit - It gives 16 minutes of runtime during a power failure, and this includes running my VOIP phones, a 19 inch monitor, 2 modems, & a wireless router , in addition to my PC with a 625W power supply. The LCD panel gives you all the info you'll everneed & the supplied backup software works great. All in all, a great product. from Circuitcity.com I have APC products for a while and had to deal with battery exchanges after 2-3 years of use. This product actually shows the charge in the display aside from all the other important information like load and indicates the battery change long before it might have to happen - so no more surprises! from Circuitcity.com This is a good solid backup unit. I have been using APC's for over 10 years now with no problems. I highly recommend APC to all my clients. from Circuitcity.com For a load of 300 watts on a battery rated for 865 watts it only has a battery life of 15 minutes. This is much less than it should be for the cost. from Circuitcity.com IT HAS TOTALLY TAKEN CARE OF MY BACK-UP BATTERY. I WOULD RECOMMENT TO ALL YOUR CUSTOMERS. from Circuitcity.com It has 8 outlets which 2 of them are apart for AC or DC adaptor but not enough apart unless you have a small a adaptor. i like the AVR (automatic voltage regulation). the LCD screen is very handy specialy if you want to see varaiety of info. you can actualy measure and see how many WATTS each of your component consume. from Circuitcity.com I have been struck 3 times with power outage resulting in a crashed hard drive. When you are talking memory like photos you had on that hard drive you would spend a fortune to get those back. They are just priceless!Since I have a backup solution the likely hood a hard drive is crashing on me again is very very slim!I had many power backup units before just not an APC. I recently switched to mac and this unit shipps with software for MAC & PC! from Circuitcity.com This UPS is packed with very useful features. I have used 3 of them to date and my only complaint so far is that they have all run hot, which would indicate that they are not as efficient as one would like. There is almost no heat detectable from many of the older APC UPSs. Not so with this model. from Circuitcity.com
