I purchased the UPS as a replacement for my wife's computer. I plugged it in and it just works. I have had no problems with it and it has saved the computer over several power outages.
This is a perfect solution for a home computer. Big enough to handle the job yet priced to fit the budget. APC has always been the backup solution for all my computers. The trade up feature is perfect. Just put the old one in the box and drop it off for return. The easiest way to recycle.
I had used a 500 unit for several years and was pleased with quility. When the battery finally went out, I immediately ordered another unit upgrading to 550VA 120V.
Smaller size and better runtime than my older 350. Easy hookup, mostly. The only thing that confused me was the RJ45 jack for the USB. I kept looking for the USB port until I really looked at the cable. Set up with my iMac was easy, configuration was even easier. Eight power ports is great. I still have a surge open.
purchased multiple for all family members-awesome!
