2 out of 5 stars Beware!   November 24, 2003

If you have a cable modem for broadband connection to the internet, your unit will not be covered by the APS warranty on this device. Lightning hit near our house and the motherboard plus router got fried. The cable modem stayed intact and we filed a claim with APS. They denied it saying backend surges through the cable may have caused the damage (even though the modem wasn't hurt?).


1 out of 5 stars went belly-up after one month   October 28, 2003

After one month of use, it now randomly beeps and randomly kicks the power off (you can hear the relay inside the unit going up and down). Doesn't matter if anything is plugged in or not.

Another notable: the on-off switch on the unit does NOT turn off the 3 outlets that are surge protected. Most computer equipment now are vampires (draw power even when turned off). I personally prefer to cut the power to my computer equipment when not in use.

I have had better luck with other APC products.

Update Aug. 2004: The unit magically got better. Now it only does the random shutdowns once a month or so. I would raise the rating a notch or two if it allowed me to.



1 out of 5 stars The APC damaged equipment warrantee is worthless.....   August 26, 2004

I don't own this specific APC product, but I do own other APC products.

My home was hit by lightning on July 2, 2004 during a severe lightning storm. Both of my garage door openers were destroyed during the strike and they were on separate NET3 power line surge protectors made by APC.

NET3 surge protectors offer the best ($50,000) damaged equipment warranty that APC offers. APC refuses to pay for replacement garage door openers since in their determination, the surge protectors are functioning properly (I had to send the surge protectors at my expense for analysis at their labs).

I will never contend that a surge protector can protect any device from a direct lightning strike, but the APC warranty contends that they will replace your equipment in the event this unfortunate event occurs.

I now do not recommend APC equipment, since their warranty is worthless.



5 out of 5 stars Great (llow cost) UPS   May 25, 2004

I bought 5 of these for the computers in the house. I would have got better ones but the house has an auto generator so all I need is about 30 seconds of power. I noticed in another review the person saying there unit was going of and on battery mode even when the power was still on... To my understanding this unit detects (dirty power) and when it detects it, it will then stop accepting ac power. I think the software it comes with allows you to turn the feature off or even turn the sensitivity up.


4 out of 5 stars Good second unit   March 17, 2004
15 out of 16 found this review helpful

I bought one of these 10 months ago for my daughter's eMac. It has functioned well despite many power 'blinks' and short outages due to thunderstorms and such. I have a larger APS unit on our cable modem and wireless base station-equipped main home computer. It provides the main backup and surge protection to our home computing systems. The BE350U would be a bad choice for a larger machine or a modem-using computer but for our sort of secondary computer situation it has worked well. The shutdown software kicks in when needed and we have never lost any files as a result.


We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
