This is the first ever UPS I have purchased or used. After reading all the reviews (which I do religiously), this appeared to be perfect for the system I have.
After recent power cuts, various spikes & periods of "on-&-off's", it was time to 'bite the bullet' & get something to protect my very expensive system (instead of the standard power surge sockets I already had). My system is a self-built, AMD 6-core system & cost me more money than I would be willing to pay for again. Together with my 20" Panasonic T.V / Monitor, 1TB external drive & Logitech Air Mouse - all worthy of full protection.
For such a heavy package, it was delivered within 4 days - very good considering I got FREE Super Saver delivery (Yet another great service by Amazon).
The connection took about 2 hours, but this is only because I was wary about the connection of the battery, which, as it turned out, was very simple. I also had to untangle all the cables at the back of my desk, label all the plugs so I knew which was to be plugged into either the UPS or Power-surge sockets. I specifically took time to read all the instructions, options & features of this exceptional UPS.
The Set Up:
The battery cover just slides off, tilt the unit until the battery starts to slide out, connect the short cable to the battery terminal (there are a few small sparks, but nothing too scary), & slide the battery cover plate back on - easy!
Decide which peripherals you need to be powered during a cut (PC, Monitor, Router, etc.) & which ones you just need surge protection from (printer, speakers, phone, etc.). Then plug the relevant plugs into the sockets. Because these are UK sockets, there's no need to mess around with 'kettle plug' type leads to connect to peripherals, just plug in & go.... Read more ›

Charged overnight, set up and running in well under half an hour. There is no application shut-down control in PowerChute Personal Edition, but for home / home office use I debate whether that's necessary. The software is simple to use and takes over battery control in Windows 7 without a hitch. So, some detail for those trying to make a decision:
My PC is (whilst sparing you the detail) a fairly top-end, AMD dual processor system with 2 Gb RAM, two optical drives, single hard drive, NVidia PCI Graphics and a number of USB devices connected. Display is a Sony 19" X-Black LCD and I also have an IcyBox NAS drive connected to the UPS. I plan to power the wireless router from it as well but haven't got round to that yet. So, currently it's the three 'essential' components of the system. Brief test this morning by turning off the power on the switched socket that the UPS is connected to showed an estimated battery time of 12 minutes. That may not seem long but it compares well to the Belkin UPS (similar spec) that I've replaced and is plenty of time to ensure that you finish what you're doing, close everything down nicely and power off to save battery life. That's all I want to do in the event of a power cut at home. Interestingly, having had this unit plugged in and running for an hour or so now, and running the test above, I'm at 89% charge with an estimated battery time of 15 minutes, so things look even better...
There is a review here somewhere, moaning about the need to connect the battery before using / charging the UPS. For the life of me I can't understand how it would take two people 20 minutes to do it! It took me less than 5 minutes, more like 2 or 3...... Read more ›

I have been in the process of buying these UPS outlets to ensure safe shutdown of NAS Duo and PC. These devices will give 7 mins to a high spec PC or 45 minutes to a Netgear NAS duo. More than adequate to allow the command line to shut down the designated device. Please be aware that only one device can autoshutdown per UPS. Buying a UPS is about Risk Management. In view that most of us now keep photographs and other personal data, it is prudent to ensure that this is not lost due to hardrive failure caused by power failure.
Mainstream companies have been doing this for years, so it is good to adopt this methodology for the home especially if like me you leave your NAS duo running 24/7.
In the 13 years of living at my location there have been few power cuts, but recently we have had 3 over 4 hour outages. Got caught by the first but since then have had the peace of mind for the other 2 knowing that my data is protected.
Been so pleased with the purchase I have upgraded to their big brother; Smart-UPS 2200 (Now have High Spec PC with a battery pack of 1 hour :))
This purchased APC now keeps my cordless phone up and running.

I recently purchased the APC UPS ES8 700VA uninnterruptable power supply from Amazon to protect a PC I have (Core i7 2600k 3.4Ghz, nvidia GTX graphics, with 500watt power supply). I was worried coming up to the winter time about bad weather causing power outages in the area - plus the eletrical supply occasionally cuts out for a second or so randomly every few months.
A few years ago I had the misfortune to be connected to the internet during a power cut (caused by a foolish cat that decided to get a bit too close to some thinjgs it shouldn't be near in a local power station)that knocked out my PC and completly destroyed it. Since that day I dreamed of a world where such accidents could be preventable....a world only a laptop could provide for....or so I thought until the words UPS entered my life....
I never knew such a product existed before I read an article in the newspaper about these uninterrupted power supply devices.
Thankfully there haven't been any power cuts so far (touch wood!) - but I have tested the UPS by pullig out the plug from the wall socket while the computer and monitor were attached and it works perfectly!
The package arrived (delivered by the always reliable DPD delivery service) and the first thing that struck me was the weight of it. It is very heavy and you wouldn't want to drop it on your foot by accident.
Others have mentioned some difficulties attaching the battery cable and some have offered excellent advice on how to go about doing it but I'll just repeat the steps anyway:
1: slide off the back cover completly by pushing down on the two indentations on the plastic back plate. It can be very stiff to move but don't worry, it does come off if you give it a firm tug.... Read more ›
