Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of APC BE350R 350VA Back UPS
Customer Review: Be careful when purchasing!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this for my computer, and it is useless. The unit does not have enough power to provide back up power to my machine. Be very careful when purchasing these. I would first recommend contacting the manufacturer to see what they would recommend. APC has offered to give me a discount on a new one if I use this as a trade in, but it would cost me a fortune to ship it. Tiger Direct will (according to the website) only guarantee items against defect. Therefore, I'm left with an expensive doorstop. Don't make the same mistake, research before you buy! My 19" monitor and Pentium 4 are too much for the 350VA.Customer Review: battery back up for your computer
Summary: 5 Stars
When I opened the box for this package the box INSIDE of the shipping box was badly damaged. However the battery back up unit inside was just fine and did in fact appear to be new with all said software and wires ect..
I am very satisfied with the unit thus far. I wont know just how well it works for me until my power fails in my home. I expect it will work as it's suppose to though. I have another model of this same unit on my other computer that I bought in my local computer store for twice the price and have been very happy with it. Over all I would say this product and the seller of it are very good.
Customer Review: Not a bad UPS, depending on your needs
Summary: 3 Stars
APC, generally, makes very good quality UPS's. This is an entry-level UPS, so do not expect more than a couple minutes of runtime if you have a computer plugged in to it. (This was purchased to provide backup to a cordless phone base station. In this application, the UPS provides 90+ minutes of runtime.)
One thing to keep in mind is that only 4 of the 8 plugs are UPS protected. All 8 plugs provide conditioned power.
A nice feature is that one of the outlets is offset from the others. That way you can plug in an AC transformer without it covering half of the neighboring plugs.
Customer Review: Turns my computer off, even the power is on.
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought two of these for our home computers. I installed on on my computer and it seemed to work, for a short while. Not only does it not give me time to shut off my computer, it cuts out the power even when the power is on, Waking me up several times in the middle of the night with a shrill alarm. Tested it with a lamp, per the instructions of the support dept and it does the same thing, gives no warning before the power dies out. Installed the second unit, same problem. Tech support says that I am overloading the unit. It doesn't even work properly with a lamp. Will never buy from this company again.Customer Review: RECEIVED USED/REPACKAGED/REFURBISHED???
Summary: 3 Stars
This UPS was purchased to replace a dying UPS that I have had for many years. I was not aware that this was a used/refurbished item. There was no reference to this in the Amazon listing. The UPS I received was obviously not new. The actual battery was scratched, the box had been resealed and there was a list taped to the side showing results of QC testing. The 3 stars does not reflect on the quality of the UPS, only the condition as received.
I hooked it up anyway, and was glad I did. The very next night, we had an hour-long power outage and the UPS worked perfectly.
