Rated 4 out of 5Â by bost6586 So far so good
Works as advertised. Nice display of information. Would highly recommend the outlet arrangement be redesigned. There is not much room between outlets and both rows face the same direction. The two rows of outlets should face in opposite directions to allow for room for the cords on voltage adapters.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by APC customer Understand its limitations.
This unit gives you sine wave output with no frills at an attractive price.
Be aware of the limitations of this new model at its price point. This is not a desktop product, so don't expect extras like ethernet or coax surge protection. It is less capable than some other APC UPSs with equivalent VA ratings; for example, the SMC1000 is rated for 600 watts, vs. 700 for the SMT1000. It has a 2-year warranty, rather than the 3 year warranty carried by most recent APC products.
Most puzzlingly, its management interface is much less chatty than even my consumer-grade APC units: for example, you can't query it for current load (though you can get that information from the front-panel display). All my consumer-grade APC products provide that information in software.
If these limitations don't concern you, it's a good value, and is the lowest-priced APC UPS with sine wave output. It's perfect for protecting the availability of a small server.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by zapfchance Lacks Network Isolation
This UPS definitely keeps my small server & data running during brief outages. However, the UPS does NOT have any surge protection on the CAT5 networking coming in and out of my protected system. If a surge hits the same circuit, it could fry a network card or worse simply by conducting over one of the many network patch cables installed. This is a small worry, but I upgraded from a unit that had built-in CAT5 surge protection, and I feel that I should have been warned that I was losing that feature when I upgraded to a higher-capacity unit.
