I own this battery back up unit. Its great - Saved my computer many times. Have my monitor, computer, router and modem on it. Last week the power went out while I was on line and I just kept working in the dark for about 10 to 15 mins before I shut down and it still had plenty of power left. You can set it up to shut down your computer if the power fails or shut it down each night at a certain time to save power. Very cool equipment. Buy it you will like it.

What's great about it: Easy to use

What's not so great: None

I would recommend this to a friend!

Money well spent not to mention peace of mind

Great product love the out turn off feature I no-longer need to turn off my printer , external hard drives, ect. The power surge does come with some kind of software and cable to turn detect when you computer has shut down and turn off the other outlets but I found it not necessary when I plugged my monitor into the master port, it even turns off the accessories when the monitor is in sleep mode. The battery backup works great and seamlessly and has already saved my computer one from a power outage. Also the battery is ready to go out of the box no charge time is needed to connect the cables and go. My only complaint came when I grounded my cable for my HDTV to the surge protecter, then my picture became grainy and fuzzy so unfortunately that feature is not for me, but that is defiantly not even problem compared to the good this does.

What's great about it: Auto accessory turn-off, battery backup

What's not so great: coaxial ground drains an excessive amount of bandwidth

Clean set up. I am replacing and older APC UPS that simply was at the end of it's life. I hope this one holds ups (get it) as well as the old one.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, nice price

What's not so great: none so far, but let's see when the power goes out.

I dont trust anyone other than APC - GREAT Support

I've been a Techo-Geek since the iNet was born. Before it went "Pop- Culture". I discovered the need for some type of Surge/Power Loss protection around '92-'93. I got lucky and started w/ an APC, heard horror stories after friends/clients that tried other Brands. Survived about 500+/- Florida Power Outages and Surges when power was restored and unprotected office TVs or PC Monitors were ruined. Everything protected with an APC UPS always survived.

Last MAJOR investment was on an iMac DAW. With that, and supporting Outboard Hardware, I refused to Plug it in until I picked up 2 APC ES-750s. It was a good choice. Power was lost for about 3 hours and when it came back on, all of the communities street lights went POP!

Thank you APC! I won't plug in without you!

What's great about it: Great Equiptment, Great Prices, Great Support and always reliable!

What's not so great: Life in the 21st Century without them

I have had another model since 1997, so when it finally died I replaced it with a larger model. These are very reliable and priced right.

What's great about it: great price and reliable

Works like a charm, so far

Verified Purchase:Yes

I already own 2 other APC battery backups, the larger ones (1000 and 1500). They are reliable and that's important to me- I live in an area that has high winds and lots of power "dips" and short outages. Every time they kick in as they are supposed to do, so I thought I'd buy a third one, the 750 unit, for my large TV set up. I got tired of the cable data disappearing for every power dip, and the 5 or 6 minutes it would take to reboot the cable box after each one. I installed this just like a regular surge protector strip to protect a 55" TV, large Sound Bar, cable box, and PS3. 2 days after installation there was a power blink- and it worked great. The units did not skip a beat. IT's doing exactly what I bought it to do. I like the 2 sides- one for surge protection only (can use for lights, etc), and the other for surge and battery backup. I have had the other 2 units for almost 2 years and they have been used several times. This one is newer, so I cannot comment on longevity. I am happy with this purchase.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, reliable

What's not so great: Would like an interface screen for TV

I would recommend this to a friend!
