Great UPS

Snapped one up for the unbelievable low price of $40 at a local hamfest, thinking it would probably not work and would at the least require a battery replacement. Would you believe it turned out everything works like a champ! I already had a smartUPS model 1000XL which still serves me well.
Pros:
  • Lots of power
  • long runtime
  • good remote management and diagnostics possible with free software
Cons:
  • New they are a bit pricey

I have seven of these now and cannot be happier. They are a great mid-level UPS and are generator compatible. The front LCD is clear and easy to understand. The rear has ample connections. The mounting kit is very stable and easy to install.

APC Smart-UPS 1500

Businesses that can't afford to lose IT operations need to protect their critical systems from power problems. APC's Smart-UPS 1500 can look after multiple servers and associated networking equipment in a small business environment, and at just over $1000 for a near kilowatt UPS it looks good value.

There's really nothing odd about this product: it does exactly what it says on the box. It sends e-mail alerts whenever the battery kicks off, it sends signal to computers via Ethernet to shutdown (up to 40 or 50, I think)
Pros:
  • Ease of installation
  • Ease of configuration
Cons:
  • none so far

APC Smart-UPS 1500 LCD

Tipping the scales at 24kg, APC's Smart-UPS 1500 LCD is no lightweight, and for good reason: it has a longer runtime than any other 1,500VA model we've seen. In fact, it's the only UPS we've tested that even comes close to delivering its claimed battery runtimes.

great product; poor instructions

This is a great product. The no-power lifetime is excellent. The nature of my computer forced me to spend the "big bucks" for its sine wave output. My beef is with the instructions. It took me an hour to find out how to make the unit work properly, and that was definitely NOT from the instructions.
