Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of APC BE350R 350VA Back UPS
Customer Review: Good Price
Summary: 4 Stars
This one has "so far" worked well but I had to send the first one back "DOA" from the start.Customer Review: Entry Level Product
Summary: 3 Stars
This is really the entry level, so don't expect to have long battery back up time. I have a 19inch LCD monitor and a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop plugged into this and it gives only 5 min back up time. Nevertheless, this is really for you to back up your work during a blackout, not meant for you to continue working during the blackout... But with such short battery back up time, I should have bought the one with 3x2 slots at Circuit City for $30 instead; could have saved $9.
(Perhaps I commented too early, I just clicker the software recently and it indicated that I have 30 minutes standby time... which far longer than what I previously said... Hence my giving it a four stars rating instead of three... - Jan 2008)
Customer Review: Not a bad UPS, depending on your needs
Summary: 3 Stars
APC, generally, makes very good quality UPS's. This is an entry-level UPS, so do not expect more than a couple minutes of runtime if you have a computer plugged in to it. (This was purchased to provide backup to a cordless phone base station. In this application, the UPS provides 90+ minutes of runtime.)
One thing to keep in mind is that only 4 of the 8 plugs are UPS protected. All 8 plugs provide conditioned power.
A nice feature is that one of the outlets is offset from the others. That way you can plug in an AC transformer without it covering half of the neighboring plugs.
Customer Review: RECEIVED USED/REPACKAGED/REFURBISHED???
Summary: 3 Stars
This UPS was purchased to replace a dying UPS that I have had for many years. I was not aware that this was a used/refurbished item. There was no reference to this in the Amazon listing. The UPS I received was obviously not new. The actual battery was scratched, the box had been resealed and there was a list taped to the side showing results of QC testing. The 3 stars does not reflect on the quality of the UPS, only the condition as received.
I hooked it up anyway, and was glad I did. The very next night, we had an hour-long power outage and the UPS worked perfectly.
Customer Review: Two years doesn't seem long enough
Summary: 3 Stars
I had one for about two years. After a power outage of about 90 minutes, it ran down, lasting about 40 minutes, powering only my cable modem and router. A few weeks later, I could hear the relay inside clicking on and off, over and over. I don't know if that's bad, but it certainly can't be good when there is no brown-out condition. Had to take it out of service.
I suppose it worked well enough for two years, but I just figured it would last longer for what was, at the time, fifty bucks.
