APC BE350R UPS System

Pros: Price, 3-year warranty including battery, surge protection, software, plenty of jacks

Cons: N/A

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this UPS if you need security of power protection on a tight budget (for a computer or an electronic device that needs...

Review: With all the deals I saw recently on UPS devices, I went on a UPS-buying spree. I bought an APC BE350R for $20 (after rebate). I also bought the APC BE500R for $30 with no...

Pros: Inexpensive, many power connectors, good spacing on 8 connectors to allow two small/medium power bricks.

Cons: Fails randomly after a few months, only 4 plugs have Battery Backup, battery dies quickly

The Bottom Line: Do not purchase this product because it will fail after a few months of light usage. Buy the 750VA model instead.

Review: I went through two of these APC 350VA UPS units in the term of two years. Each UPS last about a year before it suddenly starts turning itself off every few days or weeks beeping loudly and flashing a red light requiring you to turn the unit on and...

Pros: inexpensive, small, lots of plug-ins, both backup and surge and surge only.

Cons: Not much time to run on battery. Marginal battery quality.

The Bottom Line: This is a unit best fited for the low end user. Small, Many pluging. Will do the job. Brief battery run time.

Review: well, after owning this unit (two of them) plus two batteries.....
This unit seems to be too light a unit to use if you have many additions hanging on your computer and a high wattage power supply. You might be able to get by but will have a...

Pros: none --- see Cons.

Cons: Entire power supply shuts down suddenly while a computer session is on going. Work lost.

The Bottom Line: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! TRY ANOTHER MANUFACTURER!

Review: I bought the APC BE350R battery backup power supply at CompUSA on sale. I have to wonder if CompUSA knew that the socketss on the surge-protected-only side of the supply have poor wiring resulting in intermittent supply of electricity to those...

Pros: Very reliable. Gives me about 7 minutes of runtime during power sags and outages.

Cons: Bigger than a surge protector. Because of the battery, shipping it costs bucks and bucks.

The Bottom Line: Worth the investment for a personal computer. You might consider the 500VA unit ($20 more) which would yield 10-14 minutes of battery runtime.

Review: Battery backup / UPS units used to be reserved for business applications only, because of their high price. There is a real science behind these products and it takes a lot of R&D for a company to put out an effective uninterrupted power supply...

Pros: Easy to operate; economical.

Cons: None, considering the price.

Review: I bought this because we seem to have a power blip just about every other day. My cable modem, wireless router, and printer tend to get upset with the power blips, so I hooked them up to this product. Once the battery was fully charged (about 12...
