## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy and Reliable
*by R***O on October 10, 2010*

I was getting frequent 5-10 second brown outs in my community and it was causing havoc with my mirrored RAID disk array when my PC would loose power; would take 3 hours to rebuild and verify data integrity. My PC has a newer Active PFC power supply and would not work with my older UPS which did not output a pure sine wave. I also usually have one or two other dedicated servers I use for software development.Did some research and settled on this APC UPS. The UPS has worked flawlessly. Keeping all my expensive servers online during the brown outs and saving a ton of time from the RAID verify/rebuilds that I was suffering from.This unit comes out of the box setup as a rack mountable UPS, but the conversion to stand-up tower mode is very easy to do. Just be aware that this thing is REAL heavy and requires you to flip it around a bit to do the conversion. I ended up with a couple of bruises from resting the unit on my legs. No special power outlets are required. This unit uses the normal household plugs.I have a constant 300-400 watt power requirement with my main PC on; 1200 watt power supply, 4 hard disks, ATI 5800 series graphics card. If I turn on my other two servers I have a 800 watt drain with all 3 computers on. UPS reports 40 minutes of stand-by power if I just use my main PC. It reports 22 minutes of standy-by power if I have all 3 computers running. The front panel LCD display reports a lot of information including current watt usage, stand-by power time, etc...UPDATE: 2014-10-25: 4 years running now with no troubles from this beast. Gotta love it when you spend this kind of money on something and it sits quietly doing its job with no attention required other than the initial setup.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for my somewhat unconventional application
*by D***L on November 28, 2011*

I purchased this unit in Jan 2011 after a long search for a UPS that would have a long run-time at minimal load. I use the unit as backup power for my home networking equipment: a cable modem, Soekris net5501 (firewall/router), Linksys WRT300N, and power-over-ethernet (POE) injectors for my VoIP phones.The UPS is kept in a small closet adjacent to my office. During normal operation (i.e. when running off main power), it's completely silent. And it runs very cool.When I first installed the UPS, it would click and briefly activate almost every time my HVAC air handler engaged, or sometimes even when my refrigerated started. But I adjusted the sensitivity of the UPS using the supplied software, and it's perfect now. Plus, I've had no problems when the power has failed. In fact, during one extended outage, it took me a while to figure out that I was even running on backup power - as I've disabled the audible alarms in the SMX750.It's not the cheapest UPS, but it does exactly what I want it to do. And it claims to have a 15 hour run time for the admittedly small load I put on it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid performance, great for a high powered system
*by C***N on August 4, 2012*

Was trying to find a good replacement for my dead SUA750XL and ran across this unit almost by accident. APC has always made solid products with good warranties, and the design of this one made me want to research it more. Currently connected are: 2 Dell 24" monitor, an oversized home brew computer with an 850w power supply, Epson scanner, HP printer, Asus router, set of speakers, and a powered USB hub. Even with that load, the UPS says it can handle the load for over 30 minutes. Might be better out there, but I really liked being able to stand this on its end, the LCD diagnostics and info panel, and the lack of buzzing or humming other UPS's can make. Recommended!
