I've always relied on APC since Uninterruptible Power Supplies first became affordable for single desktops and servers. They are my first choice for myself and all my clients. from Buy.com Great product. 3 surge only outlets and 3 back-up outlets. from Buy.com If you do not have an APC back-up unit on all of your electronics, well, you are not as smart as you think you are. I have a total of 3 500's in my house and bought one for my daughter when she bought her Flat Panel, therefore, a total of 5, plus I have a APC BR RS 1300 for my office computer equipment and all it accessories. from Amazon.com Worked well, but ended up being a bit too small for my needs. I originally chose this over the BR900 because the BR900 didnt have trim on overvoltage. Also, I beleive the BR900 is a square wave while this BR500 is an approximate sine (i doubt it is close to sine, but still better than square wave). from Amazon.com Both units had what I would call unacceptably loose receptacles, especially if the plug being used was two-pronged (ungrounded). So far, however, the unit is working as advertised. I believe this is the least expensive APC UPS with automatic voltage regulation -- a critical feature where I live. I have a comparable Tripp Lite model with automatic voltage regulation. from Amazon.com Cons: None Other Thoughts: I don't bother with the software that comes with it. I'm just looking for a good, basic battery back-up that can clean the power if needed. APC does the job....and does it well! from Newegg.com This is a Replacement APC UPS. Previous 1 did not have a USB connection. from Amazon.com This is a Replacement APC UPS. Previous 1 did not have a USB connection. from Amazon.com i purchased and installed this ups less than one month ago and it has already saved me. from Buy.com the overload and replace battery indicator lights are also a big plus. from Buy.com
