American Power Conversion (APC) BX1350M Back-UPS Pro Compact Tower 1350VA Battery Backup, AVR, LCD, 120V

I have this set up to ensure my home server can shut down cleanly when the power goes out, and it works for that. I get a lot more momentary flickers than persistent outages, and it only takes 2 or 3 flickers to drain the battery below the threshold to trigger a shutdown. The server (OpenSUSE with apcupsd) also sometimes fails to restart after shutting down for an outage, especially when the outage was just some flickering and it's spent much more time shutting down after power was back to normal than the time the power was actually out

This product really doe's EXCEL at protecting my desktop computer equipment from Line Surges and allowing me to shut down the equipment in an orderly fashion, so all the equipment doesn;t shut down at once and possibly causing a power surge and damaging some sensitive equipment. Also I have used APC UPS's for about 25 years now and have never had one have a failure other than eventually needing a new battery. Really can't say enough about APC products.

No frills. Does the job. Occasionally ticks as power company voltage fluctuates. I've used APC products since forever. Great, responsive company and outstanding products.

I received my BackUps in perfect condition, and the packaging was excellent. The instructions were easy to read and follow. Once connected the display showed the batteries to be fully charged. The procedure to connect the PowerChute application (monitoring) was exact and allowed the setup in minimal time. This is a product that I am pleased to own and have protecting my sensitive equipment. I highly recommend APC products for their quality and customer service.

I've been a loyal APC customer for years. Again, the APC Back UPS Pro BX1350M did not disappoint. Living in Florida we have our share of power outages and disruptions, a good inexpensive UPS is a must have. For a 1350VA unit it's quite small and the display size is perfect. I highly recommend!

I have used APC UPS for many years to protect not only my computers but also my alarm system and electronics.I specifically like the design of the BX1650M being slim and the LCD readout is helpful. I know I can rely on APC for quality UPS products.

Don't waste any more time trying to get by with a lesser UPS or one from a company that won't back up the UPS with it's own version of insurance protection. You owe it to yourself to protect all of your equipment, all of the time, given how much a decent and/or custom system and peripherals would cost to replace. This UPS carries our main PC, with 850-watt EVGA PSU, Asus M/B with 32 GBs RAM, 4 HDDs, and EVGA video card, dual-Corsair liquid CPU cooler over an AMD FX-8350, 8-140mm fans in push-pull-positive pressure vent-config, an 4K monitor and a dual USB 3.0 dock; the APC UPS never breaks a sweat. When you configure the UPS, turn the sensitivity all the way up in Power Chute, and remember to check it once a month. If you're in an area with storms, AC power issues (under/over voltage or outages), you really must get one of these. We've never been without a UPS, but it's never nice to tempt fate as we are using the UPS for TV/AV/router/firewall/LAN/modem.

I have been using my APC Back UPS Pro BX1350M to provide protection for my small home office. Last night I was able to run my Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro i5, Cable Modem and 20" monitor for about 1:40 minutes on backup battery power alone. This is more than adequate for my needs,. This unit is designed quite nicely for functionality. I like the number of outlets available and the amount of backup power available. I especially like the master control system that allows one outlet to be the master and control some of the other outlets. When the equipment powered by the master is shut down, all of the outlets controlled by the master are then shut off. This is a quick and energy efficient way to manage your equipment. Think of your computer as the master; when it is powered down, your monitor(s), and printer(s) will automatically shut down too.

I just got this item, plugged the item into a wall, I was really surprised on how good it turns out, first of all the screen is really good, you can stand 20 feet away to see how much battery minutes you have left, the cool white display I prefer too, I have had "other" battery backups over time they usually had the red display which I din't like much at all as it affected my vision. I have plugged in a cellular phone wall charger to see what it can do and sure enough the phone started charging. Finally one of the features of this item I really enjoy if the silent mode option it has on top, a simple 3 second press to keep the functions running but silences any beeping. That is a great feature because if we have an office with 30 workers using the same item we wouldn't enjoy 30 beeps in one area, 5 stars on technology,

APC has a great product line. This 1350 unit is relatively light weight and easy to carry. It has the same great features that other APC units have. It has decent run time. It is the perfect size for newer computers that have a lower power draw and smaller power supply than older computers.

as a return customer to outstanding products I have gotten for years, was very surprised to replace yesterday my workstation apc to model 1350. Therefore 5 stars was for past, now uknown until I here from technical on Monday as to why brand new apc 1350 will not charge the battery or allow to set controls to high sensitivity? I am waiting for apc to guide me forward. Option to have led stay on fails. So where is support for mac Pro Workstation to move forward as I did on my other mac pro for years of outstanding impressive hardware you make

I bought this for my living room home entertainment setup. My tv is over my fireplace and the power outlet is behind the TV. There is a conduit in the wall for my coax/HDMI - so my cable box is in the corner of my living room - away from the TV. We occasionally have power flickers during storms and I didn't want to ruin my LG TV/Soundbar. I bought some electrical cord and fished it through the HDMI conduit and put proper ends on each end - then ran it into the APC. Now my TV/Soundbar never flicker during a storm. I've also got my cable box going into it so it is protected. I liked how this worked so much that I put a second one in my upstairs media room and have my TV, stereo, Internet, and cable going to it. I never loose connectivity anymore.
