5.0 out of 5 stars Another Solid Product By APC, November 1, 2005

This review is from: APC BX800 Back-UPS XS Series 800VA Uninterruptible Power Supply (Personal Computers)

This APC unit is built rock-solid and does exactly what we need it for: keep our machines up and running when the power goes out. With 4 battery backup ports (plus 3 surge only outlets) and very quiet operation, this is a must have accessory for anyone that uses their computer on a daily basis. Upon setting up this unit we lost power only days after plugging this in and we were able to continue our work and save our precious data before disaster struck. With the very likely possibility that an electrical surge can happen at any moment and cause a $15 surge protector to allow this deathblow through without the slightest resistance, you would be ill-advised to not have one of these protecting your investment(s)!!

***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This review is from: APC BX800 Back-UPS XS Series 800VA Uninterruptible Power Supply (Personal Computers)

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.

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.
