Hard at work!!
My UPS was on the job 20 minutes after arrival. If you have ever lost a spread sheet because of a power glitch.....then you understand. I like Quill, I like APC backups! I'll be back!

Just plain works
Has a usb data port at the end. I plugged it into my Mac desktop, software is built in. Just plain works so it fits right in with all the rest.

These are old stock!
The one I received was manufactured in April 2024 and is therefore 1.5 years old meaning that nearly half of its life is already gone. The production date is contained in the serial number on the box and on the QA test tag affixed to the device. Not acceptable and I am returning it.

APC UPS - Been Buying APC for 40 years
Easy to follow set-up instructions. There was information about how to setup automatic PC shutdown if there is a power failure using 3rd party software. Connection cable from the UPS to the PC is included.

Works Great
If you actually plug the battery in like the sticker on the unit and instructions say to this thing works great! I'm not sure how so many people have claimed it's "DOA" and either missed this important information or failed to mention they indeed plugged the battery in.

Like other reviewers my purchase had been opened
I read several one star reviews here about receiving a 600VA backup that was either defective or that had been opened so when it went on sale but was not in stock at my store I purchased one online using pickup in store rather than home delivery After it arrived at my local Staples I opened the shipping box while at the store and found that unfortunately the APC box...

Satisfied
First to address all the recent reviews before mine. These are NOT used/refurbished units. Every new APC UPS has the quality assurance test label attached to the side. Go look at some unboxing videos or online reviews at reputable sites. They all come with this label which is a good thing and means they tested it at the factory. I would be concerned if it does not come...
