So far so good! (1+ year running)
By crystallized on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2019
I did have a scare today when it seemed to stop working (a year after purchase and constant use), but I contacted their support and they had me disconnect the battery, hold the power button to discharge anything left in the unit, then reconnect the battery. And it started working again just fine. There was no bad weather or anything. I was simply rebooting my PC when the UPS unit decided to stop working. It had a blinking green light and one continuous long beep when you tried to start the PC. It still has a 3 year warranty. I will try to remember to update this review when it finally dies.

DO NOT BUY. 100% FAILURE RATE. -- Updated AGAIN October 1, 2019 ---

-- Updated December 16, 2021 --- Had a power outage last night and the UPS failed. 5 of these units and all 5 have failed. -- Updated October 1, 2019 --- I have decided to change my review to one star. As of tonight, I have had my FOURTH unit fail, all with the same symptom - the alert tone comes on solid and the unit fails to pass power. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps APC has given me in the past but nothing works. The unit simply does not function any longer, it is dead. This is the last APC UPS I will ever buy. --------------- I've always used APC and they never disappoint. This unit is easy to setup and works great. March Update: This unit worked fine for a couple of months and then one day it just died. It was letting out a continuous alarm, which according to the manual means it is overloaded. I disconnected everything, unplugged it from the wall, disconnected the battery, and plugged it back in. Even with nothing on it, it failed. So I RMA'd it in November with APC and they were kind enough to send me a new unit. Today, the replacement unit did the same thing. Completely dead and unusable. Time to RMA it.
