Great Bang for the Buck!

I installed this unit on my HP AMD 64 X2 with a 19-inch LCD monitor.Installation was very straightforward, with no problems experienced.The unit has two rows of power outlets - eight outlets total.All are surge protected, but only one row has battery backup.Each row includes an outlet that is offset to allow transformer power supplies to be connected and still accommodate use of the other outlets.The unit also surge protects the incoming telephone line, and interacts well transparently my DSL service...

APC 350ES - Very poor UPS

I had the same experience as the reviewer on 11/17/2005.I tested the UPS by shutting off the power at the breaker.Within a minute, the UPS software shut down the computer (I had set for 4 minutes, so obviously the battery wasn't going to hold up long.Only load was computer, monitor, and router).At any rate, the shut down was successful.But upon power-up, about 30 seconds into the reboot, the UPS beeped and cut power to the battery-backup outlets, which killed the computer mid-bootup and killed the...

Back-UPS ES drops power AFTER power is restored!

Most people buy a UPS, plug it in and never test it to make sure it works. I tested this device a number of times to make sure the software would at least shutdown the computer after an outage. I set it to shutdown Windows after 1 minute. Only the computer and a few small phone accessories are attached to it.After power was cut, it held the computer up and allowed it to shut down. Then I restored power to the UPS. AFter about 30 seconds, it beeped, clicked, and temporarily DROPPED power to the computer...

Too small for most computers.

I would not recommend this unit for most computers as the battery is too small to provide reasonable runtime.Under a 200W load it only lasted 3 minutes while the Back-UPS ES 500 lasted almost 12 minutes.The ES 500 is only slightly more expensive but provides much longer runtime.In my opinion this UPS is only good for very small loads (less than the average computer)....

Great for Mac OS X too!

The manufacturer only lists software compatibility with OS 9. Guess what... Mac OS X (works great with 10.3) has built in support. Just plug it in to a USB port and it's available in the system preferences pane under Energy Saver. From there, you can set auto shut down and monitor the battery charge in the unit.This is definitely recommended for smaller computers/monitors or people needing short run time. I'm using it with a PowerBook so that I can gently spin down my attached external hard drives...
