Home system Protection
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a system to provide protection to both systems running in the house. Power can be flaky in the area. This unit provides backup to two computers, 3 monitors and a few other items. It gives about 21 minutes of backup time at system standby. If your in the middle of a game or such backup time is lower. There is enough to shut down properly. Had a recent power glitch and it worked like a champ. The alarm was a bit startling. The download monitor program from APC is fairly easy. Just note that power down is the default on the program options

Works for what I wanted
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great powers my gaming computer long enough to be shut down by the software and keeps everything on when power flickers. Powers my internet for around 4 hours when power is out. Software could be better.

Outstanding but room for improvemnet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding as usual... longtime user and specifier of AP Power Products. yet; I am stressed over immediate supply of mere battery replacements in emergencies in my area. While available on line albeit E-bay or Amazon, when an emergency strikes, availability of mere batteries is AWOL! - POF (Point in fact); I have 2 units in need of replacement batteries which require at least a week to fulfill, thus requiring a whole unit replacement vs a mere battery swap-out. The APC units are awesome except for the the pathetic Power-Shut Software that historically falls short of mark in advising battery failures. Otherwise; APC are must have components in critical power installations for back-up and regulated power and surge protection.

Highly recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a real treat. Went from a cheap UPS to this and wow. Slightly old software but I opted not to use it as the display had enough info for my needs.

kept my computer running after our power went out
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a new back up when I added a second monitor and found my old battery back-up didn't have enough power to support everything. This unit did the trick. What they don't tell you is APC offers a rebate if you turn in your old unit to them BEFORE you buy a new unit. See their website! I have yet to figure out how to install the software that is supposed to shut down the computer for you when the power goes off. The instructions for that are lacking.

Back up for small office server
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased and installed to support a small office server and to replace a previous APC unit, several years old, that had been reliable throughout its life, but had finally failed. Simple installation except for the software. Instructions provided for installation of the software with a Windows 10 computer. Have not been able to fully install and setup the software for Server 2016. This unit provides much better display and information than the old one.

Better than the competition
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've used various UPS's over the years for by various computer and audio systems, but have settled on APC and in particular this unit for my fairly demanding computers and server (each system on its own UPS). The software leaves a little to be desired, but in the end, the software tools really don't get much use and perform a pretty simple job.

Great for high performance PCs.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works really well with PCs that draw a lot of power especially when gaming. The only issues I have is the plugs are a bit close to each other and make it hard to fit some adaptors. In addition, the software is a bit outdated. I am surprised APC hasn't updated it in 10 years.

Worked well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had an outage and it kicked in and saved. I would buy it again. As a note, it does not provide management software for MacOS, only for Windows.

Good but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device works well but the Power Chute Software does not work properly, I notified the manufacturer and they said "They know". Another "Consumer debugged" product.

Nice UPS unit. Software instuctions incorrect.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice UPS appliance. The only reason 1 less star is due to software issues. Instructions still have you download powerchute personal edition which would not connect to the unit from my server. Turned out I needed it's replacement software now called Powerchute Serial. Kind of a waste of time figuring that out.
