Summary: Does It's Job
Comment: An outside outlet used by my sub contractors is on the same circuit as my computer and kept tripping the breaker using certain power tools... this APC now stops me from going down unexpectedly and will shut down my computer gracefully if the power does not come back and I'm not around.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: could be better
Comment: I connected this battery backup and plugged in my PC and Monitor power cables to the back up system. All other devices plugged into the Surge protection outlets only. The PC says it estimates about 14 minutes of backup power if using the battery. I tested it, and unplugged the power from the wall. The monitor started making a bunch of weird lines across the screen, but was still readable. I left it unplugged for about a minute. When I plugged it back in, the PC said the battery had about 45% left. I don't think this battery lives up to what it says. I will never buy an APC again after this.

Summary: APC UPS 550va works great
Comment: Have used several of these and all have been up to the task of maintaining power when stuff happens for short periods of time.

Summary: does the job for a good price
Comment: it does the job very well. Comes with software and connects to the computer, it shuts down the computer automatically if you're not able to. You can check the status and history of all the times it has intervened due to high or low voltage or total loss of voltage. It tells you what the incoming voltage is and the source. This feature alerted me that the utility power coming into my home was too high and I had the power company fix it. It has lots of outlets for all the peripheral equipment with a total of eight, all are surge protected and four have battery backup. There are two transformer outlets one backed up & one not. The battery can be changed easily which my last UPS did not have. In fact my last UPS was purposely made to make it hard to change. My complaints are that the cables to the battery are too short. It came with the battery unhooked and when I hooked it up it was hard to do since the cable was so short. If they added even one more inch it would be much easier. It's also bigger than I thought so if you buy this you should plan on where to put it. One last complaint is that the high voltage from my utility caused the UPS to shut down my computer instead of going to battery back up until the voltage came back into the range I had it set to. I called their tech support. They responded that they would check into the possible causes and get back to me. They never did get back to me. I solved the problem by calling my power company and they came and fixed the high voltage problem. it has worked fine since then.

Summary: Perfect for Home
Comment: I purchased this product with the express interest in using it to back-up my homes wireless router. There are a couple quirks with it though:
1 For some reason, the particular product that I received had an extremely short battery connect cord. Which made it a slight nightmare to attach the battery. However, when I finally pushed hard enough, the battery connected and started to charge. I have not read of anyone having this kind of problem though, so I believe that I just received the odd-ball.
2 For some reason, mine decides to randomly switch to battery power for about 3-4 seconds even when the power is not out. The software on the computer says: "AC Power Restored", but does not give a reason for the device switching the power. It does not interrupt the power to my router, but it does occasionally click when the relay switches to battery power.
3 The computer software gives you an approximate amount of time that you have left on the battery. Oddly for me, it is about 40 minutes off. The software says that I have 24 minutes left, and when we had a blackout the other day it kept my router running for a little more than an hour. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, just strange.
The device has solid construction, a fairly large capacity, and though has some strange quirks, works fine for me. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a UPS. The only reason it is not a 5 star product is how the battery connections were so hard for me to attach.
