Rating: - Beware of constant audible hum from charging circuit.
I purchased one of these to replace my aged BR1000. I thought I would go up in capacity/runtime, and this unit is of identical form factor = no rearranging my desk. However the internals are different and this unit makes a very audible (not loud, but audible) hum from the charging circuit, whether on or off. I will be returning it and likely getting a battery for my BR1000, because the hum is going to drive me nuts.
Rating: - APC that works...
This APC covers all my electronics and gives me a secure back-up power. Arrived in a timely manner and functions as promised.
Rating: - Excellent product.
The UPS is easy to set up and install and seems reliable. It has already bridged several short power outages, supporting uninterrupted service.
Rating: - Very pleased with Back-UPS
I am using this Back-Ups with the Pentium 4 computer I built with Windows Vista Ultimate. The software works fine and I have 20 minutes of battery power if the electricity goes out. My small accessories will run also. This also monitors drops in line voltage and has activated several times and line voltage has fluctuated here where I live, and it keeps constant and safe power supplied to my computer and 19" LCD monitor. I am very pleased and recommend this to anyone interested to protect their computer ... Read More
Rating: - works !
Works as advertised and was cheaper than any computer store. Sometimes I can hear it clicking on and off providing smooth power as I sit at the computer which doesn't miss a beat. Hawaii's power grid is comparable to Yugoslavia's -- you better have a UPS for your electronics and a generator in your storage shed.
I shudder to think what would be left of my brand new iMac if I had just plugged it into our island's stone-age power supply.
