B&H delivered again! Great product at the best price. Unlike many reviews on the internet complaining of a loud fan noise my fan only runs when using the battery. I called APC and they said the fan problem was fixed with a hardware upgrade. My unit was factory tested in Jan. of 2010. I Don't know if it was fixed before then or not? It sounds like a floor fan on high. (Not annoying) I really like the LCD screen on the front. I can turn it on or off and flip through different live stats. The UPS doesn't come with the CD but the management software is easily downloadable from APC. I have mine connected to my editing/render computer (Intel Quad-core Nvidia graphics card 2+ TB of Hard drives). For light CPU and video usage I have 40+ min. of run time. During high power times I have 20-30. More than enough time to finish what I'm working on or start the generator. The alarm settings are great. I can choose what hours of the day that I don't want it to sound. It also knows when the computer is off and won't sound unless you want it to.

I can see in real time how many Watts my battery backed-up devices are consuming. Note: The fan in this unit runs during trickle charging of the battery.

I had the older version of this product (BR1500) which finally gave out on me after about 4-5 years of use. I was still able to use the external extended battery pack from the old unit with this one, which was a definite plus. The addition of the LCD to this model is another great feature. I can see in real time how many Watts my battery backed-up devices are consuming. Note: The fan in this unit runs during trickle charging of the battery. This occurs any time the unit switches to battery, even through a self-test. The fan will kick on and run for about 3 hours. It is fairly noisy, but it will shut off and remain off until the next power interruption.

Pros: ZERO PROBLEMS! Excellent brown-out and power loss protection. Works well without the need of software, Windows 7 Pro recognizes the UPS and hibernates the PC if needed. Never a loss of data.Cons: None.ZERO PROBLEMS! Excellent brown-out and power loss protection. Works well without the need of software, Windows 7 Pro recognizes the UPS and hibernates the PC if needed. Never a loss of data. None. I've owned 2 since July 2010, and it simply does it's job. If you have an i7 PC with a good sized PSU then you won't be disappointed. I often look at the occurances {in FL we have a lot of brown-outs} and Watt Meter to check power consumption.
