Mt APC unit is very impressive. The build quality is perfect. I\The instructions are also excellent. I like the two green status lights that assure me it is protecting me. I am keeping extras on hand jusy in case a power spikes damages the uni t I am using. (Green light goes out. ) As for pricintg- definitely reasonable.
Pros: Good Value, High Quality, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
Without the 3 year warranty, this product would be trash. Make sure you check the manufacture date to make sure you're getting a recent unit, as the warranty is *3 years from the production date* not *3 years from time of purchase*.
I set up several friends with this unit and each of them has had at least 1 warranty replacement due to faults. APC has been very good about warranty repairs, though.
The plug orientation is unfortunate if many of your devices have traditional horizontal power adapters at the outlet plug.
I'll still recommend this product as it's in the "this is a bad product... except for all the others (in a similar price category)"
Trade up program is very good. I would just say that the communication could be better. I never received a response to my email or tracking info for the product. Which left me hoping things are going as planned.
Pros: High Quality, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
It threw a few errors in its short life, and after six months it fails self-test with sparks and smoke. This thing "protected" a cable modem and a small switch; no load at all.
