    APC Back-UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector (BE750G)

    • I have had two power failures since purchasing this UPS and it performed flawlesssly.
    • It provides useful information as AC voltage input, Power used and available, and based on what you have currently attached to the UPS, how long will the battery last in case of a power failure, as well as how much are you spending per day on the devices powered by this unit
    • It is fairly heavy and comes with auto-shut down software to sense a power failure and allow the computer system to do a normal shutdown
    • Windows already comes with power failure software and though it's not near as good as the one that is provided to you on CD with this device, it is sufficient
    • Installed it and waiting for the first power failure.
    • Until there's a power failure, and you find out if it works or not.
    • The UPS is whisper quiet and has already protected us against a power failure as we have a breaker in our box that is acting flukey so this particular outlet I'm using fails almost daily
    • The batteries can be expected to last 2-3 years with minor power failures.
    • Using one of these properly will save a lot of frustration by preventing you from losing data during a power failure or blink.
    • There is a data cable which connects to our NAS that will tell the unit to shutdown upon power failure preventing data corruption.
    • I've had a few building power failures since I installed it and the unit has worked perfectly.
    • It is designed to allow the PC to safely power down following a power failure.
    • My dentist has one in his office for power failures during tooth
    • I use video surveillance security cameras connected to my laptop and don't worry about power failures as this unit will quickly switch on once the power fails and is estimated to provide juice (110v) through its backup battery system for the next 45 minutes, depending on what's hooked up to it.
    • The PowerChute performance log displays the power failure date/time and time on battery
    • Rather than keeping the computer on, it shuts it off on a power failure
    • For a long time, I had wanted a UPS to protect my PC in case of a power surge or power failure.
    • You can set an interval shutdown for your PC following a power failure (mine is set to 1 minute).
    • A power failure would cost me a great deal in lost time
    • Unlike other UPSs that I own (Tripp Lite), APC does not provide a mute/silence button - so in the event of a power failure this thing is going to start beeping and keep on beeping
    • If/when you have a power outage, it automatically kicks in to supply up to 15 or 20 minutes of continued power to your computer as well as to such ancillary things as a printer, a modem, etc..
    • This unit seems to work well, as I no longer suffer lockups of the blue ray player or loss of streamed video over the internet.
