Outstanding product--Back-UPS ES-8
on July 10, 2011

from rural Arizona, New Mexico and COlorado
I just got my third similar unit. I have used them for about 15 years now. I have never had any equipment damaged by spike/surge situations while using these surge supressors. And I live in high-lightening areas. As a freelance novelist and ficiton writer, I maintain valuable data on my system often irreplaceable at any given time. I can ill-afford a crash or loss when facing a deadline. APC products keep me safe and secure both by conditioning power and providing time to shut my system down properly in black or brownouts. . If the quality remains I will be a customer for life.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent Product

Our business is in a rural area and we loose utility power so frequently that we have a large deisel powered generator. We often have surges and power drops that have cost us several computer deaths. After getting this UPS unit is has functioned perfectly, everytime, and has no doubt saved us from anymore untimely computer fatalities or loss of data. No matter where you are located, this unit should be on every computer you own. Buy this UPS with confidence as this is a quality product that performs as advertised.

Great Product!

I've been purchasing APC products for the last 4 years for my office. The particular workstation model BE550G is excellent and has been very reliable. Never had any problems with any of my 24 APCs we own and are in use 24/7. The last time I had to swap an APC was an APC purchased some 8 years ago that had been through 3 office expansion moves. Thanks for the great products.

I wouldn't play football without a helmet. I wouldn't compute without a UPS. This unit is my "helmet". It is as good as it gets.

Does the job

Does what we need it to do for a reasonable cost. Easy to install; dependable. Especially like APC's return program of old units whether their own brand or another's.

Great Workstation UPS
on October 3, 2011
Posted by: Geistvolf
from Catskill, NY
The UPS is perfect for workstations and other assorted equipment that require the ability to "ride through" a brief power outage. I use the exchange program and find the pricing along with the ability to easily recycle and receive credit for the older units to be an excellent solution for all consumers, both personal and business. I highly recommend these UPS units over any of the other brands.

Where's the wall mount?

Looked at your web site documentation before ordering this model quantity (6) specifically with wall mount slots. Now this has changed again. Do you have free wall mount brackets? Our corporation has standardized on APC for UPS units and a large quantity of models from the BE through the Smart-UPS.
