Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cyberman Great Product
I live in an area that has been experiencing frequent brown outs - some of them enough to cause my equipment to shut down. The product was easy to install and has been performing exactly as advertised. This is my first UPS device so I cannot comment on power consumption but I have not seen any significant increase in my electric bill since having installed it. The peace of mind it provides is well worth the price. I am an architect working with a mac G3 Tower as well as a G4 Laptop with a DSL modem and large and small format printers: this unit handles it all.

I am plagued with power outages indiscriminately and the APC-UPS keeps my computer on and all my data secure and safe when the power goes out so it can reconnect to AC within 5 minutes or gracefully shut down the machine. I own two units and have two computers on them at all times.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by bobscr Two drawbacks
As other reviews have stated, the plugs are grouped too close together. APC's batteries do not seem to last as long as they used to. I have used APC backups for 20+ years, but this may be my last. I will be doing more research before the next purchase.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Coalman BE550 has only 1 wide plug for battery
The BE550 has only 1 wide plug for surg and battery. Design problem because routers, DSL modem and others all have wide plug adapters. Product does not address current network equipment design.
