(More customer reviews)This is my second UPS from APC (I have a review posted on the ES 550VA also) and I continue to be happy with their products.I am enduring a home remodel and bought my first APC UPS (an ES 550VA) to protect against tripped breakers and electrical interference from all of the power tools running on the same breakers as my electronics.These two units have been absolutely essential in keeping my equipment safe.My ES 550VA runs my desktop PC and monitor.It has reported numerous, almost daily, power fluctuations that it has compensated for and has provided me several opportunities to go and reset a breaker while the PC ran happily off of the UPS battery.Both of the UPS were plug and play with Vista for monitoring via the PC but also come with software that adds additional functionality.For my Windows 7 laptop I downloaded the latest PowerChute Personal edition software from APC (just so I could plug into a UPS and check it's status without it being connected to a desktop computer) and It also works great.
I use this 450VA model to keep my wireless phone, router, and video surveillance system running during short outages.The ES 450VA will run these devices for about 30 to 35 minutes on battery according to the PowerChute software and, when I unplugged the power to check it out, watching the battery drain via the same software seemed to support this.Both models have 8 plugs, 4 for battery backup and 4 for surge protection.There is also surge protection for a phone/fax/dsl line which I have my DSL line plugged into without issues.Finally, there is an on/off button and an LED that lets you know if the battery needs replacement.On a side note, you need to open the unit up and remove protective contacts on the battery prior to the first use.
I picked up one of these on "black Friday" for about the price of a surge protector and couldn't be happier.
