Even small clouds can cause a power outage in our small town. Recently, we had a severe power drop with several on and off events within a few seconds. This event cost several people who were plugged into a wall socket their PC;s. I was lucky to have been plugged into a surge protector. I decided to invest in a back up power supply just in case. The APC unit was recommended by a computer guru friend. I purchased my UPS and had it set up and working in less than 20 minutes. Once the software was downloaded, I took that deep breath of comfort. The unit works like magic. I love it and would highly recommend it to anyone with components that they want to protect.

I bought this for my computer but have since connected my Directv receiver to it also. We get a lot of dips to our electric where I live and every time it does my Directv receiver has to restart. This can take as much as 20 minutes, I no longer have that problem since connecting my receiver to this unit. If you have the same problem as I had, you may wish to buy one of these for your receiver or use it for both computer and receiver. I have the 650VA and you may wish to buy a large one like this if you plan to use for more than your computer. Mine handles both with no problems. I also have no interruption to the programs that I am recording now, before I lost a lot of the program that I was recording every time the lights dipped.

Good quality back-up unit. It was easy to install. the same unit I had for almost 10 years until the battery could not keep charge anymore. I would highly recommend this model for computers and other digital units for electrical power interruptions and surges.

Bought this item to power my entertainment center of case of an outage. We rarely have any extended power outages where I live but due to frequent summer storms we frequently experience blink outages, just long enough to knock everything offline. APC will be behind my TV, TiVo and Playstation keeping that from happening.

Bought this unit to replace one just like it. My old unit was 8 1/2 years old and the battery finally died. This unit will probably last longer than I will.
