Customer Review: Another Winner From APC
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy setup & reliable performance is what I look for in a UPS & this model has both. Had this out of the box and set up in under ten minutes. The Master Control feature is a very nice addition.
I purchased this to replace an aging APC CS-350 which after over 7 years of service needs a new battery and will be relegated to another lesee power hungry pc than my present workstation.
I see some reviews lamenting the "Lack" of features but one has to do some research & be realistic about what you are purchasing before you pull the trigger. This model is great for a single loaded workstation PC as the monitoring function is for a single pc only. There are other more expensive solutions that will allow multiple pc's to monitor the UPS status but the price is much higher.
For a single PC with a number of peripherals this unit works great.
Customer Review: UPS Has Bug That APC Has Not Fixed
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased the APC BE750G four months ago, and upon installation immediately had "unable to communicate with APC battery back up" error messages and alert sounds. Numerous calls to APC tech support resulted in no fix. First APC sent me a new USB cable, then APC had me reload all the USB drivers, then (various other...). Finally APC admitted there is a known problem with this unit, and advised me to uninstall the PowerChute software and use the native Windows software. When using the native Windows software, the "unable to communicate..." error/alert sounds go away. However, I use APC products because of their robust PowerChute software which has many more options than the native Windows software. I again called tech support on 1/27 and was advised that a fix has still not been developed, and that replacing my unit with a new unit would not solve the problem. I told APC that I would give them another 30 days to fix the problem or I would return the unit and ask for full refund plus shipping. This unit does not work as advertised, and I would advise against purchasing it until/unless APC resolves the recurring "unable to communicate..." problems. This link to the APC forums (which I found by Google search) documents that many others are having the same problem that I am: http://forums.isxusergroups.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2213&start=60&tstart=0

I ordered this product at 2:00AM December 10 from Amazon. I picked it up after work at my P O Box Dec 11th. What a nice surprise!
This is a great product and the importance of this item to any type of electronics is often under stated. The 750G tells me how much voltage is currently coming in and how much is being used. It also draws less power from the grid! which reduces my electric bill. And serves as a voltage regulator because it allows me to set the above and below cut off voltages. Not to mention protect my entertainment system. Everyone needs one of these!
