Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Belkin F6C1100-UNV 1100VA Battery Backup with Multi-Computer Connections (Electronics)
Good price for the performance.Unpacked it. Plugged it in. Connected it via USB to my Mac mini. Charged it for a full day. Tested unplugging it and tweaking the Energy Saver system preferences for about an hour. Did a final test by using the Mac mini with it unplugged for about 40 minutes and the charge level was still well above 60%. Haven't thought about it since. Never thought about using the supplied software. Things that could be improved: 1. It always reports 100% level in the Energy Saver panel when plugged in so you can't tell how far along it is in recharging. 2. It's charge percentage reading drops down sharply to the high 80s for a little while after you unplug it and then totally levels out after a minute or two. So I had to tweak the Energy Saver setting to only shutdown based on a hard percentage instead of time because the time estimate is really pessimistic for the first minute or so due to the rapid initial drop off.

A Few Reasons That Bulldog (Belkin's UPS software) Bites,
By pdX (West Hollywood, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Belkin F6C1100-UNV 1100VA Battery Backup with Multi-Computer Connections (Electronics)
Belkin UPS products use monitoring and shutdown software called Bulldog Plus. Since the software is at the center of how we interface with the product, this review focusses specifically on the software. To start, the software runs on Mac and PC. It does not run on Linux (which a majority of enterprise clients use). This lack of compatibility may suggest that this product line is consumer-grade rather than industry or enterprise-grade. With compatibility issues out of the way, my review follows:BULLDOG DOESN'T LET YOU SLEEP The software doesn't recognize when the computer (my experience is with a Mac) goes to sleep. Should a power outage occur while your system is asleep, Bulldog does not wake your computer and handle things as it would during normal mode: quit applications and shut down safely. Instead, you'll continue to run in sleep mode until the battery runs out. Second, under normal working conditions when you manually wake from sleep, Bulldog automatically launches to tell you that it no longer is monitoring your system. That is, after waking from sleep mode, Bulldog can no longer detect your load levels, nor provide you with other stats as it normally does. In effect, the software fails as soon as the system goes to sleep once. It only works when your computer is first turned on. Any variation from this, and the software is, by design, largely useless to you. If your computer is asleep when a power outage occurs, the UPS will continue to provide power from it's battery, but the Bulldog software will no longer do what you expect from a "protective" product (with no less a protective name). Wouldn't your "bulldog" wake you when something goes awry? I called Belkin and spoke with a "product manager" for Bulldog. He said his team hadn't figured out how to interface with OS X's sleep function, and so he recommended (if I want continued protection from Bulldog) that I never "sleep" my computer, instead opting to either leave it on or shut it down every time I left it alone. Is that a solution? POOR IMPLEMENTATION OF PREFERENCES The application doesn't use a typical preference pane, instead it separates four preference windows which you access from menu bar drop downs. This effectively hides this tool's settings all over the place, making it difficult for us to, for example, stop it from prompting us with alerts every minute (a default feature in one of these window's settings) when we approach the load level. You can see in my TIP below that to make an adjustment, you have to go all over in the menu items to locate and modify related settings. This is the kind of software that illustrates how important it is to follow Apple's GUI guidelines: preferences in one window please! ALERTS COULD BE MORE USEFUL AND LESS AN ANNOYANCE To alert you that your system is approaching the battery's total load level, a loud sharp tone comes from Belkin's UPS speaker. This will continue to fire off whenever your load level dips below, then dips up again past that load level. How do you turn it's volume down? (I live in a small apartment - I don't need to hear it from the neighbors, or as it was intended, from the other side of the house...) Well, you cant change the loudness. No setting for that. It's also difficult to figure out how to get it to stop firing off (and waking your girlfriend in the next room: "Hey, what's going on in there?"). MULTIPLE LAUNCHES OF THE SAME APPLICATION Oddly, though, it may have sprung open multiple versions of the same application, one window behind the other, and changing the settings in one while another duplicate application is launched effectively prevents your changes from being completely recognized. To see this multiple application launch in action, set both your Load Warning Level and your Load Critical Level to 45%. Then toggle on your Enable Notification Messages leaving it's default settings at 60 seconds. Every sixty seconds, each of the two warning dialogs launches a new application. Brilliant. TIP: FIVE STEPS TO KILL SOME OF YOUR ALARMS AND ALERT WINDOWS: 1. From the menu bar item: System>Event Actions> Deselect the "Enable Notification Messages" radio button. 2. From the menu bar item: System>UPS Property...> Change "Load Warning Level" to 150%. 3. From the menu bar item: System>UPS Property...> Change "Load Critical Level" to 150%. 4. From the menu bar item: Control>UPS Audible Alarm Off> toggle this (it will provide no confirmation). 5. Quit Bulldog. Launch Bulldog again and confirm that your 1-3 steps took. They WONT take if you had two Bulldog applications launched when you made changes. This ONLY prevents the alarm and alerts from firing off once every minute (you will still get messages if you cross 150%). This does not, however, prevent Bulldog from making noises each time you cross 100%. That's a setting you can't control. If this keeps occurring, consider getting a UPS rated for higher than your current voltage rating. FAIR WARNING FOR THOSE CONSIDERING ANY UPS I bought a 750VA UPS from Belkin. This is not enough if you're a professional editor, designer, or coder with a large monitor. I have to keep my 30" monitor's brightness turned down in order not to set off the fire engine tone from the UPS. My system is a G5 Quad (the last of them built, with 2.5GHz per core), with 8 Gigs of RAM. If you're editing video, importing CDs into iTunes or using Aperture or Photoshop, then you probably need a much higher VA UPS. If you're doing mostly email, browsing the web, and own a monitor smaller than 30" (or are using a laptop) then the 750VA may be fine for your needs.

Large capacity at good price,
By shadow (Valley of Enchantment) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Belkin F6C1100-UNV 1100VA Battery Backup with Multi-Computer Connections (Electronics)
Handles equipment up to 650 watts. This is a good price for the capacity.The third I've owned - I change them every year whether needed or not! You never know when one might die on you. I do not use the software. The unit takes the line power into the battery, and then your computer runs off the battery. So there's no direct connection between what is happening to the power at your wall outlet, and the power provided by the unit to your computer. Therefore the voltage and cycles to your computer are kept within reasonable limits. This prolongs the life of your computer. If the power goes down, you have several minutes of grace to save and shutdown your computer. I do not believe manufacturer's claims related to backup power time; the most you can expect is 15 minutes or so, and this unit does that by my experience. A loud alarm goes off for blackouts (not needed!), but also for significant (20 volts) under-voltage situations that you may have never known about. Also, surge and spike protection is really great. Ideally, one would use the software, and program automatic shutdowns for certain situations, allowing the user to be away without worry. However the software runs as an annoying TSR so I do not use the software at all, and shutdown the computer when away. I do not think this unit is meant to be used for servers and the like. There is no way you can connect a laser printer to this unit - too many watts. However the unit does handle a 450 watt power supply and LCD monitor without trouble. That's why I have it - it protects the $4k expense of a power book or similar.
