Home network UPS

This review is for a BR700G APC Power-Saving Back-UPS Pro 700.
I've used APC for years at home and at work. This device continues the solid performance to which I'm familiar. It replaces a 500kVa unit with an expired battery. I logged onto the APC website to order just the battery, and couldn't pass up the trade up deal on this 700 kVa unit. While I've connected the cable to shutdown my server, I won't test this until the next area power outage (at least twice a year). No noise, no heat, just quiet, standby power.

EXCELLENT, WORTH THE MONEY

Bought this Back UPS Pro 700 about six months ago and it has worked flawlessly. I've made the mistake of buying other brands before but every time I do, I get burned. During an ice storm a few years ago I had to rush across town and buy 10 units. The store only had 5 APCs left so I got all 5 plus 5 other mixed brands. All 5 of the APC's are still working to this day, all 5 of the others DIED within about 6 months with different problems. Worse than losing the battery backup was it crashing my equipment every time it failed. If you are considering another company, better read reviews.. you'll see APC is really the only good name.

Got it just in time for Sandy

This is the 3rd APC UPS I've had and I've never had a problem other than batteries finally wearing out. I got this one a week before SuperStorm Sandy and it gave me time to shut everything down safely when the power went out. I'd never be without one for my home office!

Have used APC protectors for 10 years or more. This, like all of the others for my wife and me, have been top quality. Service is excellent on the phone and through the delivery pipeline. Always find knowledgeable people available to reponsd to my questions when needed.

Traded in a couple of older APC units for this one. A great UPS unit, bar none. Love the status display. It let's me know what is going onwith loads, voltage, etc. Using it for my home theater PC components. This is the 3rd APC unit I have purchased.

performs as advertised

The BR700G has performed very well. The information on the front display has been extremely useful. The only problem is I have to get under my desk to read it.
I was unable to find the software on your URL that supports Mac OS X 10.7.4 .

Poor Replacement for LS700
on June 19, 2012

Found these UPSs to be very dissapointing.
Not enough battery-side outlets for my client's accessories and the power management, enabled by default, may shut done your system without warning. Should be disabled by default.
Front Panel is pretty but pointless unless your going to monitor your system from the front panel instead of via
Powerchute.
Powerchute.
Currently reviewing UPSs from other manufacturers such as Eaton.
Not impressed with the lack of legendary reliablity after having to replace over 100 LS500/LS700s due to connecting/disconnecting error which inevitably will cause your UPS to be useless
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
