Huge 3000VA capacity tower style UPS

This is a big beefy solid 3000VA tower style UPS. Looks GREAT and provides a lot of connections and runtime. Even includes the newer SmartConnect remote management software which works well. Highly recommended if you have the need and space for this beast!

Hate it!

Terrible documention no way to apply firmware update. Terrible product I paid $1159.00 for a SMT3000C and it will not stay connected via USB. Piece of trash. I'l be returning it.

An Absolute BEAST of a UPS!

With 10 (!) outlets, pure sine wave output and AVR, this thing is a beast. 2,700 Watts of output is nice, too. It?s large (17? x 7.7? x 21.4?) heavy (116lbs.) and requires a rare L5-30R (30 Amp) power input connector, so it?s not the easiest UPS to install, but once you get everything in place, it offers the absolute highest capacity you can get in a single cabinet, 120V UPS solution. Consider it for large, power intensive applications.

I received this APC backUPS a few weeks ago and had my computer plugged into it. A storm hit just last week and we lost power for a whole week! I plugged my phone into the UPS as well as my computer and I was able to get news updates from our governor about shelters and when it was safe to go outside. I've already bought another for my wife's computer in the den! I highly recommend this to anyone who is under threat of losing power!
