Strengths: Great quality, easy to setup, reliable !
Summary: I would only recommend this unit if you are also getting the BR24BP battery pack to use with it for the extra battery run time.
If you don't need the extra battery runtime you may want to consider purchasing the APC BR1500LCD, it has a lower profile and is wider and it is very unlikely that it would ever fall over even if something bumped it.
The APC BR1500 along with the BR24BP battery pack is an excellent combination, it provides plenty of power ( 865 watts ) and I think you will be pleased with how long the batteries last.
I have all 3 units mentioned in this review, they all perform great, and they have never let me down !

Strengths: Very quiet and good management software
Summary: This UPS is very quiet and has great software managing it. Good design as far as keeping fat plugs enough space to utilize all battery backup outlets as well as surge outlets. Long lasting battery backup for two of my machines. Surge protection for phone and voice over IP.

Strengths: -No hum or whine as in other UPS units.-Fantastic Up-time when power drops or goes out.-More than enough sockets for anything including large AC adapters.
Summary: I run my entire home office off this one UPS. That includes about 12 peripherals, phones, lights, clocks, chargers, routers, modems, and other items. Even with all of these running at once and draining the battery, I get about 15 minutes to put my affairs in order and save all active work while the power is out. I was in the middle of a phone converstaion one day on my land line over a cordless unit when power cut out due to a heavy snowfall. Everything else in the house went dead except for my office. I finished my conversation, saved all reports on my computer and got everything stored safely for when power returned the next day. Absolutely fantastic.
