 Equipment Replacement Policy is a SHAM! July 16, 2008

Just know going in - if your equipment gets fried, they won't pay you a dime. They will blame it on anything from faulty building wiring to bad grounding and deny your claim. Why don't they just print '$500,000,000,000 WARRANTY' on the box - if they don't intend to stand behind their product? I had one computer system that was wireless and it's only link to electricity was through an APC battery. Lightning struck and it died and started to smell burnt. I sent in the claim and the unit got what looks like their standard protocol - sorry, no replacement. The system was only worth $200 which is far less than our company spends annually on batteries. I won't use APC again.
 Needed a new battery a year or so later and battery is same price as buying new one July 4, 2008

It did its job for a bit over a year but then the battery died and needs to be replaced. The replacement battery is $40 plus shipping so you are better off just buying a new one. br / br /Only three out of the six plugs are actually back up supported plugs and the other three are only surge protected no battery back up at all. so if you need more than three you need a larger more expensive unit. br / br /The software is easy to use and connects to the pc via usb connection.

Great price, great product! I live in an area where winter storms frequently cause interruptions with the electricity and this gives me time to shut down the computer. It works great!
Good at first, but dead battery after 6 months July 27, 2007
MasterTech4523 (Cambridge, MA)
This product became extremely frustrating to own the minute I needed it - a power failure. I was in the middle of heavy design work and it beeped for about 30 seconds before it died and didn't even help the PC hibernate. This has happened since for 2 years. Now I am here shopping for a new one, NOT MADE BY APC. I need to replace this one and I realized what I waste this was. It's a glorified surge protected, and should NOT be used for anything serious. It will indeed fail.
