I have always had the Cyberpower 1000+ Battery Backups in the past but after my last one died I wanted to try something new. The APC 1300 seemed like it would support my dual monitor, beefed up gaming PC well so took a chance on it. Setup was easy and there is a USB cable that will connect to your computer that offers a cool dashboard that tells you if you have had any blackout outages, if your ups has cutover to battery and even calculates your CO2 emissions saved etc. The only ciritcal feedback I would add is related to the APC website where you download the app for connectivity. Downloading the software was a little wonky, but that has nothing to do with the product itself really. Overall I am glad I got this and also glad I went with the 1300 vs the 1000 model.
What's great about it: Supports multiple components, relatively small for BBackup
What's not so great: Nothing so far..
I would recommend this to a friend!

I actually use this with my tv and cable box, it protects your tv and gives me about 40 minutes of tv when the power goes out.

Piece of junk, stopped working after 2 days. Save your money and look elsewhere.
What's great about it: Backup protection if it worked.
What's not so great: Stopped working after 2 days, an error would appear then shut unit off.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'd done some homework re: other APC/Cyber models before heading to BB, but after chatting with a sales guy about my setup, he recommended the 1300VA because of the amps. So no, I didn't read the reviews BEFORE getting this home. Gave it a go anyway, because it seemed to be pretty comprehensive, I liked the software, display, etc. -- but yeah, my Dell i7 just shut off in self-tests -- and yeah, the reason was that the power from the battery wasn't clean enough for Dell. Took it back and reduced the variables, got a quality surge protector with coax/ethernet, will deal with this again later -- life's too short :) If you don't have the Dell issue, I think this could be an excellent unit. I rated good-average based on how it seemed it would work if compatible.
What's great about it: Quality piece of equipment, software, display
What's not so great: outlet spacing, doesn't work with some Dells
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a good unit. I bought two of them for my home theater equipment. They are performing fine and handle the high inrush current when the amps turn on. The display is easy to read and provides useful information (volts in/out, load, etc.).
What's great about it: Thin design
I would recommend this to a friend!

from Rowland Heights, CA
I have been using since with the original company and now with Schneider Electronic for 15 years. I have come to trust the product and the technical support that is behind the product. I use this product at home to power my server and it works great. I use other APC products to power my business needs. Overall I like the company very solid. The Customer Support is excellent, and brilliant in the way they handle their business.
What's great about it: Reliability
What's not so great: Weight
I would recommend this to a friend!
