Glad I did

As you may know, Florida has recently been hit with tropical storm Debby. Fearing damage for my computer and security equitment I purchased this battery backup. Throughout the storm the battery backup kicked in several times from sags, and short interuptions. I still made off well, not having a flood or a long power outage!
I would recommend this to a friend!

550 Back-UPS

I thing is as good as the two 500U's that I replaced with the 550's. All of the various Back-UPS's that I have I only have trouble withn the batteries going bad. They do the job that they are made for and that is all that I can ask for.

Good Size & Shape

I have four APC units of various sizes; this is the perfect size to remain out of sight and still provide the protection needed.

Good UPS but not perfect

This is a very good value for the cost. The only thing I would change is make the outlet holes not be so tight. It takes a good amount of force to plug or unplug devices into it.

nice product - designer needs clue

So far I like the ups I just today bought. easy setup (just plug it in), software installation was easy too. My critique is that the cord from the ups to the wall outlet is right beside the warning indicator light. well if you have the side with the cord facing the wall you can't see the light. Turn it to the side with the light facing you (I am facing the ups with the cord coming out to my left) you can't see the light because of the cord. If you put it on the floor next to the wall under your desk, you will never see the light, though I can see the cord un-obstructed. anyways, if you don't care about the light at all, I basically agree with the most recent reviewers which I read.

Essential equipment

For peace of mind, this is great. Recent power outages remind us of how important power surge protection and backup are. Only drawback is the narrow spacing between outlets. Can't use all outlets if cords have adapter plugs; not enough space.

Excellent as usual

Purchased as replacement for unit > 3 years old. As usual, I am extremely happy with APC. All the units I have ever purchased for home and business have worked perfectly - in contrast to a Tripp-Lite that never provided backup power.
I would recommend this to a friend!
