Excellent UPS for the price
on November 4, 2009
Posted by: Draxxus
from Denver, CO
I got tired of the frequent power spikes in my area and needed an affordable UPS. The Back-UPS ES 550VA lives up to APC's name. I've used several of APC's products in datacenters and would recommend this unit. I had no issues with the battery installation. I did, however, have an issue when moving the unit to different locations in the house. A couple of OFF/ON cycles and it came back online.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy install. Trust this brand, have used frequently in past. No problems with directions or equipment. Even in thunder/lightning storms and power surges/spikes - no damage or lost data/power.

I have used APC products for many years and have had a good experience with them, including this latest purchase. Only downside is it was a bit difficult to get the cords/hookups to stay in place when closing up the unit.

Trouble with equipment after purchase
on November 28, 2009

I like that the new unit consumes less energy and I also like that APC traded up my old unit, however, I started to get an annoying squeal out of my speakers after plugging my computer equipment into the new UPS. Online support suggested that I get a ferrite bead for my equipment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice Unit

Have used APC products for many years. This is my second time upgrading/trading in 6 units without issue. Work in an area that has often power "dips" and the units never fail to keep me up and running, or keeping me up until I can properly shut down for longer outtages. Recommend them to anyone!

THe normal install

from Edmonds, WA
This is just like the other three APC UPS products that I have. Open the box, pull out the shipping protector, plug in the battery plug the UPS into the wall and computer, then insert the CD. The software requires only following the prompts and you are finished. THis one installed on an old computer that I setup for grandchildrens games.
