Keeps my key PC from suffering hard shutdowns
At my house, during rain storms, there will often be a quick flash of the lights as a branch somewhere falls on the power lines.That type of event would always cause my PC to turn off, and I could loose quite a bit of work or even problems on the hard drive.This little device has keept that from happening for some time.I am very pleased.The battery that is in it does not keep the best "time" estimates for battery life, but knowing that the short spikes or loss of power will not cause me issues makes it worth the price.

directions are impossible to understand
The product works fine, but the directions are stupidly complicated. We had to hire someone to help us install it, and we both have Masters degrees.

The APC Has Worked Flawlessly For Over 2 Years
I'm not sure what happened with flagday1960's APC UPS, but I have had mine for over 2 years and it has performed flawlessly. Whenever I've had an electrical power outage, the APC's software notifies me that it has reverted to battery power, and informs when commercial electrical power has been restored.I can view the stats for my UPS - when and how long the last "event" (battery power activation) occurred, and the UPS current charge status. My 350R has only 6 outlets - 3 battery/surge and 3 surge, the current 350 model provides 8 outlets - 4 of each. While I can replace the internal battery of my 350R when it does die and is unrechargeable, I'll likely buy a new 350R in the near future, primarily for the extra 2 outlets.

KILLS COMPUTER / UN-STOPPABLE SHRIEK ALARM
I mistakenly believed the hype that this thing would PROTECT my computer from BEING KILLED, but instead, this thing has KILLED my computer FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 4 DAYS, EMITTING AN UN-STOPPABLE(i.e., CAN'T TURN THE FEATURE OFF) SHRIEK ALARM. How do smart, talented people idiotically convince themselves that a home product should have an ear-piercing shriek-alarm that can't be defeated / silenced?

Does What It's Suppsed to Do
I bought the BE650R for two purposes:The first is to provide battery backup power for my home computer system on a daily basis.The second is to use with my portable generator to provide "clean power" to all of my electronics when the power goes out and I'm forced to use it.The BE650R handles both situations very well.

Excellent Unit - Bad Reviews
We are using this unit more and more in the field.I have one on my desk and one for my rack of networking and satellite equipment at the house.The battery display is great when the power is out.Imagine this, I was able to goto the website for my power company to get their phone number when the power went out last time.
Does not handle brownouts at all
I had 2 units (one for my computer systema dn one for my HT because I like the digital and horizontal layout) After a month or so, we started to experience brownouts, or split second drops in power. Some would flicker the lights, other simply went unnoticed. However, every time, the Tripp Lite would cut off. The battery would not kick in and my computer would be shut down and my TV would lose all user settings. I contacted Tripp Lite support (which costs you a long distance call, because they do not have a 1-800 number!!) They had no idea what was wrong.
Works but Case gets very hot

CyberPower UPS
It's a fine product, works just as expected.It replaced a like unit by the same manufacturer that has worked flawlessly since 2000.Needed another one for another computer system and very pleased with the product as well as the excellent customer service through Amazon.com.

Works well with OS X, emergency generator power
Got the UPS for my 2.0 GHz DP PowerMac and 20-inch ACD.I was specifically attracted to the automatic voltage regulator feature of this UPS.We have an automatic emergency generator for our house, and during power outages units like the APC Backup Pro 650 would cycle on and off and chirp like crazy.Apparently the line voltage fluctuates too much on generator power.A few days after setting up the Cyberpower UPS, the power went out during an electrical storm and the unit seemed to work flawlessly.One note:I was trying to figure out why no OS X software came with the included CD. After calling the company, I found out that you only need to install the software for Windows PCs.With Macs, all the software controls are built in to OS X.You just plug your components into the UPS, hook up the USB cable, start the computer.On start up, the computer recognized the UPS automatically, and you can set everything (e.g. how many minutes before shut-down, presence of UPS icon on menu bar, etc) through System Preferences.Sweet. Another reason to own a Mac.It just works.

good for me
I really like this product.I have only used it for a couple of months, and so far I highly recommend the product. Easy to set up, and have had several surges, and was able to save important work before I shut down the computer ( A real life saver for me)

Everyone should own one
I purchased this unit due to frequent blackouts in my area and 2 power supplies going bad.It will run my cable modem, router, PC, and LCD monitor for 5 minutes.This is more than enough time to save work and shut down. Equally important, I know that my electronics are receiving clean power. I feel that this investment is minor compared to the loss of valuable data or the failure of equipment due to a power spike or an irregular power supply. As always, Amazon had it to me in <2 business days.

Power UPS! Everything you need to know.
First of all why do you want a power UPS? There are some very good reasons. (1) You never want your machine to go down incorrectly because of a blackout. (2) You want to work with clean power only. (3) You want to monitor your PC power. (4) You want to prevent your PC from being damaged due to a power problem like a lighting strike and want surge protection. The first rule about UPS is to never trust the insurance claim. Get your PC insured elsewhere. These companies have a tendency not to support their insurance claims. I have a PC running some very high specifications with over six USB devices, LCD monitor, printer and Ethernet equipment, with everything on at the same time. I have never gone above 325W of usage and average between 250W and 300W when managing a high spec game and doing lots of background tasks. Even though I have a 400W Power Supply Unit (PSU) I will be upgrading to a 500W PSU because it is better quality model. The way I can monitor how many Watts I use is with UPS software and hardware. So the question you need to ask is how many watts you will be using. The short answer to this is you don't know until you install the UPS and software that tells you how many watts you use because that appears to be the only way you can monitor your wattage at this time. You need to estimate what it is. I would say a high-end domestic PC (not a server) would use 300W max if it has one of every device you can think off turned on. As soon as we add things like another PC, or several printers, or several monitors, then we can start to overload a 325W UPS. This brings us to the first thing we need to learn about any UPS - Overloading and balancing. The overload feature is a warning system that turns on when you have overloaded the UPS capacity. Overloading does two things. It can in theory eventually damage the UPS and it voids the warranty. Most UPS are 325W but there are 800W - 1000W and even greater models out there for home networks that use more than one PC setup but to be honest you are probably going to get a UPS per PC setup rather than expensive bigger UPS for a network. So check the UPS rating. What UPS you choose depends on how much you want to load on it. Next thing you need to check with the UPS is if it comes with a USB connection. If it does this is a big plus because it means you can control it from your PC and the UPS comes with software. Now if the UPS has this feature then you can do loads of stuff like turning off UPS sound alarms, controlling how your UPS handles a blackout, how long it uses the battery before shutdown or hibernation, if it sounds an alarm or not, if it run self tests, data collection and monitoring, notifications and sensitivity settings. If the UPS does not come with a USB connection and software then you probably should be looking for an UPS designed for computer use rather than a UPS for non-computer equipment. Most UPS have LED indicators that tell you the status of the unit. The next thing to understand is that testing your UPS is not done by breaking it out of the box, connecting it to the mains, plugging your PC in and then turning off the house's power with the circuit breaker. You must charge the UPS first! So read the instructions. Usually you must attach the battery to the UPS (plug it in firmly!) and wait before using it. Then perform the test using the software first! Then you can consider trying to simulate a blackout in your home to see if the PC stays up. Usually a UPS is programmed to shutdown your PC if the blackout lasts for a few seconds. Nearly all UPS models with a USB connection can be customized for the shutdown event or how long the PC should hold for on the UPS battery. Most UPS devices allow you to connect a modem phone line into the device and then run a phone line into your modem. This is important because power surges on a UPS that do not have this protection can damage a PC through the unprotected phone line running into the modem that usually runs to the PC somehow. This is nasty problem with the degree of security that a UPS can provide. If it doesn't have this function then it is not going to provide 100% surge protection with a PC that is on-line. Networking a UPS PC to another PC without UPS can also increase the risk of surge protection problems. It is not recommend that you network a UPS PC to a non-UPS PC unless surge protection and the warranty are not an issue. One last thing is that some UPS have input regions on the UPS for surge protection and other input regions are not surge protected. Also with some models the batteries need to be replaced after a few years if you end up using them a lot. This is everything you need to know about an UPS before you choose one. It is basically now about downloading the technical specs of the UPS and making sure it provides you with what you need. The two top brands are APC and Belkin.

Good Product - But Mac users beware
I purchased this unit after reading the reviews here. The unit works very well and is easy to install. One point mentioned in earlier reviews, however, needs to be revisited and clarified.

APC Top Notch
I have several APC UPS devices running several computers, cable modem and wireless router and they have kept me working throughout many short outages (I work at home testing software), others run a Tivo & cable box (never missed anything on TV I wanted to see) and a salt water aquarium.They've all performed flawlessly.The one Tripplite I owned a while back let me down with poor power regulation.I've been delighted with APC. Only downside is there are units that sound an alarm every 30 seconds while on battery power, that can get a bit annoying.Otherwise these things are outstanding.

So far so good
I've been happy with mine so far.I'm not qualified to write a "technical review" but from a regular guy end user perspective I'm satisfied.I have had 2 or 3 power fluctuations since I bought it and it kicked in and out of battery mode without a problem. Other than that, I never think about it, which is exactly what I want.

NOT happy with it.
I have always used other products since I didn't think I could afford APC, but after looking at them I realized they were inline with everyone elses prices so I got one. The second day it went into battery mode for NO reason, I contacted customer support who said it must have a bad relay in the switching mechanism. Ok that can happen to anyone. I sent the unit back to them and received a new unit to replace it. Now this unit after one week I had a power sag (brown out) and the unit did its job and kicked in, but like the first one, it won't come back out of the battery mode. So far "my" opinion is that they are junk. I mean 2 in a row????? ... Read more

Great Bang for the Buck!
I installed this unit on my HP AMD 64 X2 with a 19-inch LCD monitor.Installation was very straightforward, with no problems experienced.The unit has two rows of power outlets - eight outlets total.All are surge protected, but only one row has battery backup.Each row includes an outlet that is offset to allow transformer power supplies to be connected and still accommodate use of the other outlets.The unit also surge protects the incoming telephone line, and interacts well transparently my DSL service.
APC 350ES - Very poor UPS
I had the same experience as the reviewer on 11/17/2005.I tested the UPS by shutting off the power at the breaker.Within a minute, the UPS software shut down the computer (I had set for 4 minutes, so obviously the battery wasn't going to hold up long.Only load was computer, monitor, and router).At any rate, the shut down was successful.But upon power-up, about 30 seconds into the reboot, the UPS beeped and cut power to the battery-backup outlets, which killed the computer mid-bootup and killed the router for a second or so.
Back-UPS ES drops power AFTER power is restored!
Most people buy a UPS, plug it in and never test it to make sure it works. I tested this device a number of times to make sure the software would at least shutdown the computer after an outage. I set it to shutdown Windows after 1 minute. Only the computer and a few small phone accessories are attached to it.
