Its fan cycles off and on to make the noise even more irritating.
G. Mitchell
Connecting this unit via USB allowed my Windows 7 computer to monitor the device without any of the additional software provided, which I have no desire to install.
Erik H
In an UPS; quick reaction time is what makes a good one and this one is fast!

Style Name: SMT1000 Verified Purchase
I've just received this product, so this is a preliminary review. I purchased it because it generates a true sine wave output. My computer's power supply won't tolerate anything less. I've used probably 7 or 8 APC products over the years, and they've been very reliable. As the earlier reviewer said, this is a redesign of the SUA1000, and it's only been sold for the past few months. The only issue I have with the product so far is that the fan is constantly running -- even when no load is present. And, as the other reviewer noted, the fan is fairly loud. I've written to APC Technical Support because the constant running of the fan doesn't seem to be normal behavior. The fan runs constantly for about 5 minutes, then stops for a few seconds, and then resumes again. This occurs with a fully charged backup battery, running on AC, with no load plugged in and at normal room temperature. The only time I can get the fan to turn off is after I run a self-test. But after about 10 or 15 minutes, the fan begins to run constantly again with those very brief pauses. I'll have to see what the support people say.

2/15/2010 UPDATE TO REVIEW:

APC Technical Support informs me that the fan behavior I described above is completely normal. If you purchase this product, be prepared for a very loud fan that constantly cycles on and off (five minutes on and five seconds off) even with no load plugged in. When I asked whether it made more sense to have the fan run continuously without the brief pauses to minimize cycling of the fan motor, I didn't receive a response. I have no idea what purpose the brief pauses in the fan operation serve except to remind me how much I miss a quiet UPS.

Style Name: SMT1000 Verified Purchase
I have 5 uninterruptible power supplies, all by APC. I have two of the previous generation of SmartUPS; one is a 1500 VA and the other is a 1000 VA model. Other than the cost of battery replacements, I have been generally satisfied with APC products.

The new SMT versions of these products is supposed to be a major redesign that offers:
* Increased intelligence that makes management and monitoring easier
* Increased efficiency that saves on utility costs
* Increased control with ability to configure locally or via software and switched receptacle groups
* Increased resilience with better diagnostic capabilities and improved warranty

PROS OF THE NEW DESIGN:

This new version is clearly very different and does appear to represent a total redesign. This is apparent from the time you plug it in for the first time, as the bright and clear blue LCD readout that APC has added lights up and guides you through installation.

When you first install it you are taken through an extensive menu that allows you to tailor the UPS for your application. However, the unit is still easy to install, as you can't access most of these settings UNTIL you switch over to the advanced menu. This is a good balance, I think, between ease of use and the ability to offer features for advanced users. Good call, APC!

Why is a mere display important? Well, it gives you accurate and up-to-date info regarding both incoming and outgoing power quality, the power consumption of the devices you have plugged in, how long the unit will power those devices, the efficiency of the unit, the battery state of charge, the battery replacement date -- and more.

CONS OF THE NEW DESIGN:

Why do I only give it four stars, instead of five?

Style Name: SMT1500 Verified Purchase
Purchased this unit a month ago and out of curiosity I connected it through a power meter. The power consumption with no load and batteries at 100% charged is 1.25 Amps. With my IMac plugged in the consumption is at 2.4 Amps. I've owned several APC units before and the no-load current for the trickle charger was about 0.2 Amps. Answers from APC were responsive but unclear as to why this inefficient unit was designed to consume 130 watts with no useful work being done. Also, the fan runs most of the time even though the battery indicator on the display show the charge is at 100% which would seem to make cooling unnecessary. While APC does design some great hardware, in this age of energy efficiency this unit is going in the wrong direction.

Style Name: SMT1500 Verified Purchase
I'm sure the APC Smart-UPS SMT1500 delivers good quality power. Setup was easy, especially on my Mac, which has UPS support built into the OS. I didn't even have to load any software. Just hooked up the power and USB cables and done.

There are, however, two issues. One is that the documentation is somewhere between atrocious and non-existent. Nowhere, for example, does it explain what should get plugged into the different outlet Groups or how the Groups operate. All you can do is experiment and hope for the best.

The bigger issue is that the fans run continuously, even when line power is on and the computer is off or asleep and drawing zero power through the UPS. And the fans are not quiet. Which is a problem because the recommendation is that things be plugged directly into the UPS outlets---not through extension cords. Extension cords would be a hassle anyway, because multiple things plug into the UPS in multiple groups. This pretty much requires the UPS to be located near the computer, where the fans are maximally annoying. But even if you could remote it, the fans are loud enough that they would be annoying anywhere within the same room. I would only buy this UPS again if I had some way to remote locate it to a machine room.
