Product Description
Superior Equipment and Data Protection
The most affordable true sine wave UPS's in the Smart-UPS family. The efficient, Smart-UPS C is an economical choice for small and medium businesses looking to protect entry-level servers, small switches, networking devices, and point-of-sale (POS) equipment.
Smart-UPS C brings the reliability of the worlds most popular network and server UPS to entry level applications.
APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS C 1000VA LCD 120V
The Smart-UPS provides abundant battery backup power, so you can work through medium length power outages. It safeguards your equipment against damaging surges and spikes that travel along utility and data lines. The Smart-UPS also features automatic voltage regulation (AVR), which instantly adjusts high and low voltages to safe levels, so you can work indefinitely during brownouts and overvoltages.
The Smart-UPS also includes unique features, like power-saving outlets that automatically turn off idle peripherals. A high efficiency charging system and "AVR Bypass" also reduce power consumption. With the rest of the Smart-UPS’ standard features, this is the perfect unit to protect your productivity from the constant threat of bad power and lost data.

Be aware of the limitations of this new model at its price point. This is not a desktop product, so don't expect extras like ethernet or coax surge protection. It is less capable than some other APC UPSs with equivalent VA ratings; for example, the SMC1000 is rated for 600 watts, vs. 700 for the SMT1000. It has a 2-year warranty, rather than the 3 year warranty carried by most recent APC products.
Most importantly, this unit uses the new "Microlink" protocol, and does not have an expansion slot for adding a UPSLink interface. This means it will never be possible to fully interact with this unit using open source software, such as NUT or apcupsd; you can only get the most basic information out of it, such as line power up or down. Neither NUT nor apcupsd will be able to query it for load, output voltage, recent events, or many other things.
If these limitations don't concern you, it's a good value, and is the lowest-priced APC UPS with sine wave output. It's perfect for protecting the availability of a small server.
I noted that another reviewer complained of noise, but mine is nearly silent except when operating on backup power.
Something else you should know: You can't buy a replacement battery. This direct from their tech support: "The replacement battery for the SMC1000 is not available for purchase yet, but it is APC part number APCRBC142."
I've had good luck with non-sine-wave APC UPSes in the past, but I would not recommend this particular model. We're coming into the season when we most need UPSes in Florida, and mine's acting flakey.
EDITED/CORRECTED June 18, 2013: After posting about the problem on an APC-hosted discussion forum (their email tech support is "temporarily suspended") I got a possible solution. In the supplied software you can set upper and lower limits for line voltage, above or below which the UPS will switch to Battery Mode. The default upper limit voltage is 130. Sure enough, just before mine went to Battery Mode the line voltage was 129.8 volts. For some reason, the UPS reports higher-than-specified voltage as a "power failure," rather than an "overvoltage event" or something that would give you a clue. You can set the upper limit as high as 136 volts. Of course, since I did that the software monitoring routines indicate my line voltage has never exceeded 126 volts. But at least the UPS hasn't gone off on me again.
APC should fix the software so the info logged is more informative. Had I seen "overvoltage" in the log I might have been able to figure out a solution myself. As it happened, while I was waiting to find out what was going on I had a momentary power outage -- while I wasn't using the UPS! You know what that can do to Windows 7.
Problems:
I've had servers shutdown because this UPS said to do so even though it was only on battery for less than a minute. It is set to do so when runtime limit is up. UPS says runtime limit is over 30 minutes. This happens about once a year.
I already knew this but APC's new "language" or "protocol" they use for these new systems will not talk with Linux boxes anymore without using their specific software. So no APCUPSD program. I bought this for a Windows machine.
