This UPS is my second from APC. The first one lasted about 3 years. Then I replaced the battery, and it ran for another 3 years. This new one worked great right out of the box. Software (PowereChute Personal Edition) works fine too.

We use this unit to backup all of our desktop PC's. It does not take up a lot of space. We also buy the expansion unit for clustered PC's.

this unit supports my Mad Pro with hubs and 30” monitor both while running and sleeping. However, it all crashes if the computer is sleeping and then awakens. Not sure why. Have not got into that with the manufacturer, yet. Their PowerChute driver is so full of neat details for windows and had just about zip for the Mac people.

Perfect for my home office. Protects loaded Vostro 410 Quad core with 2 x 24" dell flat panel displays plus wireless router and voip. Has performed flawlessly in central Florida, the "Lightning Capital of US". High quality, small footprint and attractive, unobtrusive design. Replaceable batteries. Can attach optional battery pack for extended run time. I give this unit a strong recommendation.

This is pretty much the standard UPS for medium power applications (such as a typical computer tower+monitor or two and perhaps an external drive). It doesn't provide all the power conditioning or management features of its higher end (and vastly more expensive) cousins, but it does the basics very well and most importantly supports a single external battery back. That expansion pack should be considered REQUIRED TO GO WITH THIS UNIT, as it more then triples battery life for less then half the cost of this UPS. It's what makes this a good deal, if you only need a tiny bit of power (like for a router) get a lower end model. With the expansion pack this unit will power a workstation and screen (such as a Mac Pro + 30" LCD) for around 1 hour and 20 minutes new.

Don't forget that the lead-acid batteries don't last forever. As with cars, you'll need to order new ones in 4-5 years or so, although replacements cost much less then a new UPS.
