Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We are using this unit more and more in the field. I have one on my desk and one for my rack of networking and satellite equipment at the house. The battery display is great when the power is out. Imagine this, I was able to goto the website for my power company to get their phone number when the power went out last time.
As for the previous reviews, here's a couple things to consider. Like most ups, half of the outlets are surge and battery backup, the other half are just surge protection. Now the surge protection only side is great for things like speakers and printers, but if you plug your computer into the wrong side, you won't get the battery backup feature. APC actually started putting big yellow stickers on their UPS because of this.
And the power and heat. Yeah, it gets hot, when it's charging. It's warm when its fully charged.. But it doesn't continously pull 1A of power. I'm sure it does when it's charging, but my fully charged unit only pulls 5 to 20w of power or 50 to 160 Milliamps of power (.05A - .16A). Checked it myself with my power meter.
In all, this is a great unit and for 1000VA, it's a good deal.
