This is a solid product with the dozen or so that our company has deployed in the field. My only suggestion is a complete revamp of the management software which is dated.
Pros: Energy Efficient, Good Value, High Quality, Good Vendor Support, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime

Heavy Duty cycle, well engineered product!

I like this product and use it for various applications that involve motors which have no "spin down capacity. Foe example,just installed 20 at a fitness center where the treadmills simply stop when there is an interruption of AC, due to their poor design. With the Smart-UPS C, there is more than enough power to not only protect the treadmill electronic components but also prevent them from a sudden and dangerous stop. It can also do Network Management which in this application was not needed. Well done!

A Great Unit for Smaller Offices or Smaller IDFs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A solid performer in terms of performance vs cost. Great for tight places that do not have actual racks installed but still need power protection to ensure uptime. 8 Standard outlets should provide plenty of room. The LCD screen in the front provides great info on what's going on and changing the battery is simple.
Pros: Good Value, High Quality, Good Vendor Support, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime

Perfect application for powering AC devices

This is a great piece of equipment any appliances that do not have an internal battery backup. For example, the AC goes out and you are on a treadmill. It just stops and you go flying.
This product will give you 15 minutes of time to slow and stop. Wonderful.
Pros: High Quality, Fast, Good Vendor Support, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best product with no problems and the web interface is pro forming well and no comparison with any other vendor

For any business that needs reliable backup power

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a sales professional, I highly recommend the APC Smart-UPS C 1440VA for any business that needs reliable backup power. This compact tower unit automatically protects your computers, servers, and equipment from power outages and voltage problems, giving you peace of mind and preventing costly downtime. With eight outlets and an easy-to-read display showing power status, it's simple to set up and monitor. The smart connectivity features let you check on your power protection remotely, and the battery is designed to last longer than typical backup units. For businesses that can't afford to lose power unexpectedly, this UPS delivers dependable protection at an excellent value.
Pros: Good Value

Easiest UPS choice for everyone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Out of the box, this one was very easy to set up. Even with a computer, monitor, dual-drive NAS, and a network switch, this particular unit seems to handle so much with ease. The screen itself doesn't stay lit all of the time so it won't burn out, but it does stay on long enough to see the info when needed. Hooking it up to the Internet was also pretty easy with a very simple startup guide to walk you through the very simple process. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who is running a small system as a server in their small office to even someone who is running a machine to run CAD- and CAD-like software.
