Customer Review: It's $40... It does what a $40 ups should.
Summary: 4 Stars
We ended up buying almost 30 of these for our office and I got them set up last weekend. We decided to leave a couple computers unprotected because they aren't in the office much...
Anyhow. We lost power last night, and one of the systems that was left without one of these had its hard drive fail. It would not boot or let me re-install windows on it to repair the installation..> Luckily I was able to back up all of the files though and am currently restoring them to another ahrd drive to get the computer back up and running.
The time i'm spending on this computer today and then having to send its hard drive in for RMA is going to end up being close to double the cost of these units.
If you have higher wattage you're going to have to spend the extra money to get a more powerful unit but this will work great for single pcs or electronics.
** just s sub note. I placed my order for 28 of these and didn't expect them to even ship for another week... got them the next day for FREE!
Customer Review: Worked for me for four years now
Summary: 4 Stars
I have the six outlet previous model of this product. I have a home office and have plugged two models of Macs into this unit and it has worked like a charm for me. My house has pretty crappy 1950s wiring and my neighborhood has all above ground wiring and lots of trees. This leads to many power outages and I have not had any problems with surges even though my husband's computer was killed by a surge (he doesn't have an UPS). It gives me plenty of time to shut my machine down and save my work in the event of an outage.
I agree that on my model the outlets are a bit too close together to allow for my giant plugs. I also agree that the alarm beep is a bit annoying.
Customer Review: Pretty good - bad button design
Summary: 4 Stars
The only gripe I have is that the power button is easy to have accidentally pressed and doing so interrupts power to everything, including that which is plugged into the "battery backup". Both my 18 month old, my cat and myself have tripped it. I think I need to hide the unit better. I haven't had a power outage since it arrived and haven't tripped the breaker to see if it works, but it came with a nice handwritten QA slip, so I am confident that it works. The included "auto-shutdown" software wasn't written for linux, so I haven't used that feature.Customer Review: Great for a novice
Summary: 4 Stars
After having three internal modems fried during thunderstorms and power surges, I got DSL and decided that I needed extra protection. The tech support rep at Embarq suggested this type of backup/surge protector, and so far it's worked well. Comes with software that keeps a diary of power outages and current battery time, and was very easy to assemble and attach my computer, DSL modem, phone line, etc. Bigger than I expected, but I can live with that so long as it keeps doing its job.Customer Review: works like all my others
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this UPS for a child going to college. Rather than just a power strip, I want something that should condition the electricity coming from the grid more to protect the devices attached to the UPS.
I have many of these at work. This UPS works as designed. No complaints.
