Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This unit has been working fine, and I like the self-test feature. The one significant drawback -- based on my reading of other reviews, this unit is not alone in having this issue -- is that the damn thing smells quite strongly, something like the smell of new plastic. At first I thought the plastic case was just made out of particularly smelly plastic, but in reading around, and now through personal experience, it seems to be related to the charging process. The battery must be releasing something, or the heat of charging is making the case or other parts smell. Someone else reported their Belkin unit stopped smelling after about a week, mine is now a week old and smells less but definitely still smells. An unexpected bummer. I was getting tired with APC units failing, so I tried this unit for a change. I hope it lasts a long time, but only if it stops smelling!
Update: It stopped smelling after about a month.
