Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of APC BE350R 350VA Back UPS
Customer Review: Great for a novice
Summary: 4 Stars
After having three internal modems fried during thunderstorms and power surges, I got DSL and decided that I needed extra protection. The tech support rep at Embarq suggested this type of backup/surge protector, and so far it's worked well. Comes with software that keeps a diary of power outages and current battery time, and was very easy to assemble and attach my computer, DSL modem, phone line, etc. Bigger than I expected, but I can live with that so long as it keeps doing its job.Customer Review: Just what I needed

When my old BackUPS Pro 650 woke me up in the middle of the night with its peeping I knew it was time to replace it. It was on its second battery and had served me well for years. I didn't need the capacity, and the APC BE350R was the perfect replacement. The 350 is smaller, more compact, cost about as much as a replacement battery for the 650 which meant the price was right. It's serving me well as I write this. If all you're trying to protect is a home PC it is the best way to go.Customer Review: Great until it stops working

I've owned 2 of these now, but won't be buying any more. The battery only lasted a few months in the first one, making it useless as a UPS and just a very expensive way to plug several devices into one electrical outlet. The second one (another brand-new unit) didn't fare much better. Unless you are willing to buy a new unit every 6-12 months I'd avoid this one.
The manufacturer wants more for a replacement battery than the whole unit cost, so that's not a good option.
Customer Review: Way underpowered

I bought this as a backup for my media computer, which is a Small Form Factor Shuttle machine with only a 200W power supply. That computer is the only thing plugged in to the battery ports of the UPS (no monitor) and it still only gives me less than 2 minutes of backup. This isn't even enough time for Windows to shut down half the time! I will be purchasing a larger unit like I should have in the first place, and downgrading this one to use with my router and cable modem.Customer Review: Disappointed

I purchased an APC BE350R Back UPS unit from from Tech for Less because it was the lowest price for the unit.
I received the unit several weeks later and found that it was not a new unit,but a refurbished one. To make a long story short, the unit did not work and I had to contact Customer Service for Tech. They were very courteous and since they had no other units in stock,I was given a full refund on my credit card.
