Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have not noticed the noise like other reviewers have. It has to do with placement, maybe. Mine sits at my feet and the fan would point away from me, but I don't ever hear it. The battery lasts a good amount of time for me, especially compared to a 1000 VA.
I bought this to protect my Mac Pro. I am glad I did. I had a storm last year that crippled about $3000 worth of equipment when a bolt of lightning struck very close. My Mac Pro survived hooked up to this. This UPS seems to have helped with the surge a lot compared to some others. I had an expensive APC Smart-UPS which let through a damaging jolt in the room next door (Server died hard and UPS died). I also had a Tripp-Lite Smart1000LCD which got toasted and let through a surge. This UPS may not have been perfect, as it seems that a USB port on my monitor failed (the LCD screen works), but it fared the best of all of my surge protectors and UPSes.
So overall, if you get hit by lightning, nothing is safe, even with an expensive UPS. Tripp-Lite sent me replacement UPSes, so having (both) a product warranty and an equipment warranty is good insurance. It may take a while to get service, but they are helpful. So whatever brand you buy, get a good UPS with a good warranty and hope for the best. They will ask you to draw a diagram of what failed during the storm, so make sure you have everything plugged in, including phones and network cables.
