Digital camera Review: APC UPS Defective out of the box
Summary: 1 Stars
APC BE750G Defective out of box. Would not buy from internet again. If I had purchased at Big Box CE store could have returned for refund. I will throw in trash and buy a competitor product.Digital camera Review: APC uninterrupted power supply.
Summary: 5 Stars
You can't beat the price for this great safety device that could save a computer from major voltage spikes or outages. I'd recommend this to all my computer using friends.Digital camera Review: Aborlea
Summary: 1 Stars
Twice when the power went out my APC unit began beeping and ran out of battery in a few minutes. Since this is the second time I had bought this 10 outlet battery backup and the second time the battery seemed to wear out within the warranty period I decided to call APC. They put me through a pain stakig step by step by step sytem of analysis. I finally could not stay on the phone any longer. I disconnected everyhing attached to it, charged it all night long unplugged it and it lasted 12 minutes without anything drawing on it. I called back and after many failed attempts, dropped calls, busy signal and full voice mails I was able to tell a technician my story. He said they would send me a new battery. Sent me an emai to that effect. It never came. I emailed concerning the missing replacement battery. I still do not have a replacement. If you buy APC don't plan on them standing by their product.Digital camera Review: Alternate uses for this UPS - So far so good...
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased 2 of these UPS units from my local wholesale club (at a comparable price from whats listed here on Amazon). I rated this product 5 stars because I have nothing bad to say about it yet (I haven't experienced any power outages so I may post a re-review if this does happen).
I did NOT purchase these units to power my computers (although I should). I have a wood burning pellet stove to keep the house warm in the winter months. If you also own a pellet stove without a built-in battery backup system, you probably know the risks of running it during an unexpected power failure. The exhaust fan will also fail during a power failure and you risk having your entire house fill up with smoke. I've been lucky that this has not yet happened to me but I bought this battery backup just to be safe. I've read where others have used UPS' like these for emergency power outages to keep the internal exhaust fan running (at least for a period while the existing pellets have burned up entirely - 10 minutes or so should do it). The idea is that if a power outage occurs, you should shut off your stove and let the exhaust fan continue to run on the battery backup until the unit cools down. I'm fairly certain the fan does not draw as much power as a computer & monitor and should do the job while the stove cools down.
I purchased a second backup unit for use with my Salt-Water aquarium. If you own an aquarium, you can probably relate to the amount of expenses required to start and maintain it. A long power outage could be fatal to your livestock and all the dedication and money that you put into it (a power outage could cause a rapid drop in water temperature and possibly the filter system reversing back into the tank). I'm currently running only my aquarium heater and filter pumps on the battery backup outlets and the lighting system on just the surge protected outlets. My hopes are that the pumps and heater draw such little power that this backup could keep the most important things running interrupted for a number of hours if necessary.
Now I just need to save up for a couple more units to cover my computer equipment! I hope this review helps anyone who has considered purchasing a UPS for something other than a computer system.
