Pros

One for my remote work computer w/monitors. The second keeps my network alive during short power outages. An apc product also protects my optical network terminal so i can finish computer/gaming tasks without disconnecting from the internet. Now we do...  Read More

Been a fan of apc forever, both personal and business. Bought one (1350m) in late 2018. These are as good as any other brands i've tried.

Surge protection provided by the unit * high voltage spikes but more importantly, the unit maintains the input voltage at 120vac when a brown-down occurs. Plugged it in to a socket for a day to ensure the battery was charged.



Cons

The f06 error has pop up a number of times, and contacting apc's support is frustrating. They just tell you to unplug the battery for a bit and reset the unit. According to their documentation the f06error is a relay error which to me sounds like a ha...  Read More

After unplugging and turning back on the second units battery will not charge. I have several apc backups and this arrived doa defective. Apc needs to go back to the old school battery backups.

This thing hums non-stop as soon as you plug it into the wall. It makes a horrible high-pitched squealing noise. I am not talking about the alarm or buzzer, this is more like maybe the capacitors or coils in the charging circuit or something.

I like this form-factor, the bx series, much better than the flatter power-strip style in the backups series.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is my first ups and i didnt buy it for my computer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    These devices draw about 1820w at all times and according to the ups this is 4 of its rated load capacity


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Well the ups says there is an estimated running time of 165 minutes with this load


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I did a real world test and only got about 100 minutes of run time out of it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Conclusion the estimated running time is highly inaccurate for low loads


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I cant speak for other situations


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It also takes a looooooong time to recharge


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Maybe im just spoiled by lithium batteries and quickcharge tech
