Works great for my PC
Why did you pick this product vs others?:I previously owned a UPS from APC and with my new 5090, it was pulling too much power, overloading the APC when I would render in Blender. This UPS was from a company I was already familiar with, it has monitoring and self testing software available, and had the power load capability I needed. In the video I’m showing you how to change the colors on the back/front and cycling through the screen options. I prefer to have it show the load % (the one I stopped on) as even when the screen dims, the colored ring still loads and adjusts around the screen to give you a visual on the load without having the entire display screen active.There is no way to completely disable the back light that I have found, but red seems to be the least intrusive for light pollution in the house (our bedroom door is nearby so I wanted a light that didn’t flood the neighboring rooms). Battery life on it seems acceptable. I’ve had two loss of power events since installing this (bought it a few months ago) and was able to safely shut down my machine without even passing the 80% batter left mark. Overall a great purchase, especially if you live in an area with unstable power supply like I do (out in the woods with tree interference on lines frequently). Would absolutely recommend this if you have any sensitive equipment that you want to protect. It’s pretty beefy and can handle a lot of power flowing through it.

Excellent buy for gamers
Silent unit with easy setup, it’s functioned flawlessly, it’s dim in idle mode. Well worth the money.

Too expensive
I needed to buy something that would be in view of guests, unlike other UPS units I could just store somewhere there was no option here. This unit looks great – I’m happy with its aesthetics. The light in the front can actually provide so much detail & the UPS to PC cord looks well made. It handles a dual GPU PC just fine; has all the basics of any APC UPS. There is some electrical hum, yes, but all units have this when populated with plugs. Everything works as intended. Minimal heat from battery itself.Charging ports are alright. There’s two type A & one type C. They all seem to share the same power bandwidth.My problem with this unit is the price. It is not worth the price. If I had the option, I would have purchased one of their cheaper true sine wave line rather than this premium product. It’s just a UPS.

Very nice modern looking UPS
Yall…I know I’m outta shape but THIS is ***k’n heavy af lol. I carried this thing all the way from the mail room up to my apartment and I got my workout in.Once you open the box, it’s pretty simple. You will have the ups itself, a data cable (for software? Idk…it doesn’t mention anything about it), and a small user Manual. You take the ups out and open the battery pack to connect the battery to the ups. It’s pretty easy. Again, this is very heavy so be careful when laying it on its side. I’m sure you know how to hook it up but there’s a picture guide on the box if you need it. I have not had a power outage in the last 10 minutes and I’m not going to test it right now bc my neighbors are asleep and also…I’m exhausted. Customizing your led color is a nice touch. It has a ring light on the front and an accent light on the back so you can have visibility of the outlets when you’re crawling under your desk. It also serves as nice mood lighting projected on your wall. The colors will change if there happens to be an alert. The user manual explains all the different alarms.There is one thing that I am not a fan of. And it’s very very picky. I think I have supersonic hearing but this ups gives off the tiniest ring of a certain high frequency that is just annoying, almost like a dog whistle. You can barely hear it and if I had it a few more feet away, I probably wouldn’t hear it. So far, it’s working great. I didn’t realize there was a white one; that one would’ve matched my tower better. Oh well. My power goes out all the time, so this was a good investment for me.

Not like the other APCs backups.
Unit seemed to have problems a couple months in. Bought in June and has now completely failed in December. Less than 6 months. It finally reported an error code F06. Basically it continuously switches from power to battery and then back, over and over. Initially I thought it was some sort of diagnostics as no errors would show up. Did it today and completely died. After turning on and off (couldn’t turn it on for a bit) it finally reported an error. We have multiple other APC backups in the house, they all are working fine. This one…. totally defective.

Works great so far, looks kinda cool.
Since getting this I’ve only had one short power outage but it kept my computer running just fine. I’ve also run a few self tests which have all passed and again my computer stayed on. The style is definitely subjective, I like that the screen is facing up since I have it on the floor and the top ring and rear light act like very dim nightlights.

Flawless Operation so far
Setup was a breeze. I’m running a Alienware R16 w/4060Ti graphic card and KTC 166Hz monitor that constantly alarmed my previous UPS. Two low power network devices also connected. Max load so far has not exceeded 42%. Small quirks: LED color control only changes the rear LED lighting. This light was helpful for seeing the plugs during setup but is now constantly on and I see no way of shutting it off. It has an exact match to the color of the R16 lighting. I also wish there was a way to keep the frontal display on constantly while a load is applied (i.e., I’m at my desk). Battery replacement is expected in 3-5 years which is a bit sooner than most. My previous battery lasted 7 years. Smaller than it looks in the pictures; a bit smaller than a half tower.
Llego muy rápido, lo usé para mi ps5 ya vi que era la mejor opción, lo reconoció inmediatamente, le puse juegos en línea y estoy muy feliz con la compra, hasta el momento todo excelente –
El producto es extremadamente pesado, tiene luces que están prendidas todo el tiempo y llegan a ser muy molestas ya que iluminan toda la habitación de forma excesiva, solo se pueden cambiar de color pero no desactivarlas, también hace mucho ruido más que una pc de torre cuando está encendido, para solicitar la devolución el vendedor que es internacional ha pedido que sea en correos mexicanos, los cuales por el peso y al ser una batería no aceptan, ojalá el proceso de devolución fuera mucho más sencillo como otros artículos que basta con llevarlos con una sola guía que tiene una única dirección, sin tener que pagar el envío, me arrepiento mucho de haber hecho esta compra, a ver cuánto tiempo, dinero y esfuerzo tengo que invertir para que me respeten la devolución, si estás leyendo esto si el producto se ve bien estéticamente pero no es funcional ni práctico. No lo recomiendo.
