Customer Reviews

Solid Product at a Great Price
My last APC Smart UPS 1500 kept acting up despite putting in a new battery so I was hesitant to buy another one. The price here was better than the trade in/trade-ups price American Power Conversion was offering so I decided to try it. This product has worked great and the price was outstanding. It has already saved me during one severe thunderstorm so I'm quite pleased with the product. I bought it from Tiger Direct since Amazon was not selling it directly. Despite the high shipping cost because of the weight, the price was still great.

Big, Heavy Box O' Power
This large box full of lead works great! It powers a small business class server with way too many hard drives for up to 40 minutes while protecting it from brownouts and surges. I've yet to lose any equipment to surges, but I've racked up several hundred dollars in hardware lost to extended brownouts due to things like fires at distant substations or power poles hit by drivers. No hardware I've hooked into an APC UPS has ever suffered a power-related failure.

All the APC management software (included) works well, though the Linux agent must use the serial cable to connect to the UPS, and there is no server component for Linux. The LED indicators on the front work properly, and lots of good stats are available for estimated runtime, battery power remaining, temperature, voltage, etc. Once the included PowerChute Business Edition is set up, you can even see how the wall voltage has changed over the last day.

Heavy and bad designed UPS
We had 30 of this devices in the office. They are heavy and fail all the time. APC SUpport is inexistent.
