Just What I Needed
on September 16, 2012
Posted by: niecew
from Medford, OR
I bought this for my cable box because it loses channels when the power surges or goes out and it is tiresome getting the box reset. I got it installed and put the cable box in the power back up slot and called to reset the box because I had to unplug it of course and about four hours later the power went off for over an hour. Even though it wasn't fully charged it held and kept the box on and I didn't have to reset it. Pretty cool.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Manual Errors
on November 10, 2012
Posted by: pragmaticron
from Clarksville, AR
Had to call tech support to get proper instructions for setting voltage sensitivity. The two LED indicators used in the product shipped are not the same as shown in the manual.
Prices have gone up and the size of the backup battery is much smaller than the 750 VA APC UPS I purchased some 3-years ago. This means that battery run time is noticeably shorter with the new more costly product.

Not what they promise
on December 6, 2012
Posted by: Bonanza
from LA, CA
This unit provides 'half' the battery back up time as promised. After many (7+) inquiries to APC and a month+ later, APC has yet to fix it or replace it with another unit. They have, however, not followed through with replies and, in my opinion, given me the run around. Although I have spent much time/effort resolving this, thus far, I'm still stuck w/ a defective unit. Disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Unit works as described.

I have always used APC UPS systems since the mid 90's and never had any issue with any of them. I even had a Network Air portable A/C in my house that was fantastic, and still running.
This unit seems to be quite capable for what I needed. I am running 4 WD NAS Drives (each draw 40W peak) and a laptop running windows 2003 server for Domain and admin functions.
Setting up was quite simple and there was also verification from the engineer that tested the unit on the side of the plastic case.
It runs cool and quiet (checked a few times) and tested it 2 times by pulling the master power feed and letting the unit beep for over 50 minutes, before plugging it back in.
I have a linux script that runs on the server when the laptop battery hits 80%, sends a shutdown command to the NAS drives and then after 20% shuts itself down.
Bottom line, this will go for over 50 minutes keeping power alive. We have a new built house and have had some power fluctuations and 2 power outs since, so this is perfect for me. Thinking of getting a few more for desktop systems. Although I am sure they will not last 50 minutes on battery.
Only thing I would like to see added is a way to acknowledge and silence of the beeping alarm.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Low Cost UPS Device
on February 15, 2013
Posted by: Brandon
from Snohomish, WA
When I got my UPS 750 I was amazed. I plugged it in and and it was amazing. I have ran battery tests and I get a battery life of around 80 Minutes... I unplugged it and counted time. Its somewhat small and is not all that loud, except for the beeps. I wish I would have bought A couple more for the rest of My house. I have a DVR on my device because I have a lot of line noise in my electrical system in my house, and with this I don't have nearly as many problems with the noise or anything. I recommend this for anyone who is wanting a great UPS, without going broke.
I have used APC Devices for years and I wont ever go through a different company for any type of power supplies or UPS Devices.

Excellent Backup UPS
on February 21, 2013
Posted by: Obie
from New York
I purchased the APC Backup UPS 750 unit to replace my previous APC Backup UPS that finally began to have problems after 7 years of heavy usage. My personal experience is that APC produces very good UPS units. My previous company used them exclusively in our server room(s) and our tech support swore by them. Despite other reviewers comments about the software, I found the software easy to install on my Windows 7 Pro workstation. The old PowerChute software I had with my older unit was adequate, however the new software has been improved. It's not the most visually stunning software interface, however it does provide an easy to understand interface that provides me with useful information about the current status of the unit as well as detailed information about the last time the unit needed to intervene. I also like the fact that I can customize the notification alarms - I prefer to turn off the alarm. Since the two months I purchased the unit I have had one power outage in my area and the APC Backup UPS operated flawlessly, allowing me adequate time to save my work and shutdown my computer equipment gracefully. Lastly I like how quiet the unit is, there does not appear to be any noticeable hum. As someone who works from home full-time the purchase was a no-brainer as it prevents me from losing valuable work and manages the graceful shutdown of my equipment during power outages.
