Highlights
Quality
Having recently purchased this item, the build quality is good, the display is clear and functional.
This is a superb and slimline unit that provides excellent uninterruptible mains power within the limit of its rechargeable battery.

Just takes two days plugged in to sort itself out ( fully charge the battery) powers been out out and no problems.
Price

The unit contains a battery which is heavy and as a result the outer packaging needs to be more resilient to be sure of arriving safely.
The item was as described and arrived on time, but the packaging and handling of the ppackage in transit resulted in significan... Read More
Competitiveness
This ups is relatively small compared with other ups devices of the same rating and so far is working well.
Apple uses native software for the ups management which is not as great as the windows software that apc supplies for windows.
