Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been using APC products for 15 years, and remain a devoted user because their UPS's WORK. Our applications are primarily in the field of professional audio. Our consoles, amps and electronic equipment NEVER need servicing due to power fluxuation related damage. Use one of these big 3000VA units for a 30A circuit, and it just works -- you forget about it until the lights blink! An entire control room runs off of one unit, and we've not had any difficulties in my 12 years working in it. Plus, we're in Florida, lightning strike capital of the US!
Because the product description provided above does not tell much, I've included the summary from APC's web site:
