Rating: - Works great - does the job!
I ordered this for my wife's computer. It's kind of a low-end model but suits her needs. It isn't powerful enough to handle her multifunction laser printer (no surprise there) but I was able to plug the printer into the surge protection only side of things. We've had a couple of power blinks since we've had it and it has done what it is supposed to.

Rating: - Great battery Backup and Surge Protection
When it comes to surge protection on my valuable electronics, I buy these APCs instead of standard surge protectors. I just feel safer knowing there is a few minutes of time for me to shutdown my devices gracefully if a power outage occurs.

I bought two of these for my widescreen TVs and entertainment center equipment (DVRs, cable boxes, DVD palyers, etc).

Rating: - It works! Cheap insurance.
I have come to trust APC products and this one has not dissapointed me. Our neighborhood is prone to numerous brownouts and brief power outages.....This backup has served my laptop well, providing the "juice" needed at all times.

Rating: - works like all my others
I purchased this UPS for a child going to college. Rather than just a power strip, I want something that should condition the electricity coming from the grid more to protect the devices attached to the UPS.

I have many of these at work. This UPS works as designed. No complaints.

Rating: - I should have bought a higher power rated model.
In the month since I have been using this UPS I have had 3 incidents where it has cut the power to my computer, sounded an alarm, and required a reset. The software did not provide an explanation of the cause. My best guess is that my computer simply draws more power than this UPS can handle? I think a better purchase for my needs would have been the 550 model.
