I have been using two APC UPSs for years. I saw that APC had a trade in program for my discontinued model and decided to take advantage of it and get new features and improvements. Needless to say, as a longtime customer, I’m very pleased with my new Back-UPS 700 Pro.

My APC Back-UPS Pro 700 works right out of the box, which is never surprising with your gear. I appreciate providing a way for me to safely dispose of my old UPS and battery safely, and its a gerat way to keep all my equipment protected by APC.
Pros: Energy Efficient, Ease of Management, High Quality, Good Vendor Support, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
It arrived with a broken battery door cover. I suspect some rough handling during shipment. The packaging possibly contributed as it is not very protective. The actual damage is purely cosmetic and the unit works fine. I have previously bought several replacement batteries and also upgraded through trade-in. I will continue to purchase APC UPS items from this company.
Pros: Good Value, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
The unit degradates high-speed internet signal when connected trough coax or ethernet sockets. The coax does not support anything more than 35Mbps and ethernet could limits the speed to 100Mbps. The customer support rep reluctantly confirmed: Upon checking, this is actually expected on this kinds of unit. This is due to the surge components of the unit. You may check this FAQ for info. This FAQ is for cable but it applies the same for internet connection through coax: https://www.apc.com/us/en/faqs/index?page=content&id=FA158835&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US
