funny you should mention that. i do not have very good luck with apc ups units. most come with a 3 year warantee, but after a couple years they croak and i just dump them. i have them both at home and at my factory, which is a total of 7 or 8 units. gone through at least 20 and probably 30 of them in the past 10 years.
we have very bad power at home. get a major hit every week. the units seldom last over a year. factory power is excellent. the units there last a very long time. but, they are supposed to take power hits.
i use the 1500 somethings units. they weigh over 50 lbs. the next size up, the 2200's weigh over 100 lbs, and they are just too much of a pain to handle.
