    APC UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector, APC 550VA Back-UPS (BE550G)

    • However, for the minor increment in cost, would recommend the UPS-600 unit instead
    • This UPS is perfect for protecting my electronic equipment.
    • APC makes great UPS's
    • This UPS is amazing
    • Good UPS for small setups
    • If the power goes out for longer then this handy little UPS gives me the time I need to cleanly shutdown my server/cable modem/router etc
    • Good basic UPS.
    • It's a pretty solid home UPS; I wouldn't use it in a server application since the power output on battery is chopped instead of pure sine wave (which puts a lot of extra strain on a PC's power supply), but for a home user who just wants to be able to save their work and perform a clean shutdown when the power goes out, it's a solid unit
    • Really like this little UPS
    • This UPS does not work
    • With the monitor on and applications running (IE: Firefox and Word) this UPS took 7 minutes to deplete to 15% capacity
    • The UPS works well, but the software seems glitchy following power issues.
    • My next one will be a pure sine wave unit; I've gotten to where I have enough expensive stuff on it that I'd prefer a higher end UPS
    • This UPS exceeded my expectations and I will recommend this to anyone that asks my opinion.
    • When you need a good solid UPS or surge suppression, APC is what I go with.

    • Having used the CyberPower CP550SLG variant also offered on Amazon I can say this is a no-brainier!where to beginFirst, NO ANNOYING BEEPSthe Cyber UPS would trip the alarm if nothing was actively drawing power and the power happens to spike or something and wake me up in the middle of the night (its louder than an alarm clock)and to make it

    • I highly recommend this unit, or any UPS that has a good average rating from plenty of users.
    • We bought this compact UPS to keep the computer from shutting down during the minute of so that it takes the standby generator to come on
    • Since installing the UPS, zero problems, we even had power go out and stay out for about 3-minutes, the UPS was beeping but then power came back and our system played through the outage with no problem or loss of sync, perfect!I've owned a lot of UPS by APC, I keep buying them because they keep working well and lasting a long time

    • This UPS came to Colombia faulty and didn't work
    • This is a great backup UPS system and surge protector for your PC
    • FYI: the packaging was all cardboard, including the spacers that keep the UPS in place in the box, so i guess that makes the packaging lighter and more eco-friendly?Powerchute says this new UPS will give me 5 minutes of juice before my computer dies, which was about the same as my old one
    • I also have the CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD Intelligent LCD UPS 1500VA
