Setup was a snap. Glad I purchased a 10 outlet model since I needed most. Downloading the Powerchute software was easy using the supplied USB/Ethernet Data port adaptor cable. Thus far, the unit's been running like a champ. No complaints.
Pros: Energy Efficient, Ease of Management, Good Value, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
Even with a QA check, mine was delivered by Dell with a missing front bezel and software. Not sure how this could happen but the box came undamaged and sealed by APC...
I bought this UPS about a month ago via the APC Trade Up program along with a 3 yr extended maintenance contract for my home office. Historically, I've used APC UPS' but these were the entry level UPS'. With WFH becoming the norm due to COVID, I decided I needed a more robust UPS with more VAs that can support longer power blips. The BR1350MS not only offers the standby power I need, but integrates nicely with my iMAC via the provided USB cable, provides true Sine Wave power output, includes a 3.0 Amp USB C port as well as an A port for charging my devices, large digital display for displaying UPS status, and if necessary, I can hot swap the batteries without having to power off the UPS. So far performance has been great with the minor power blips I've had and the UPS is silent when it is operating other than a click when the power blips. This has been an excellent UPS to support a WFH office.
