APC (American Power Conversion) APC BACK-UPS RS 800VA (APC (American Power Conversion)-BR800)

Reviewed by: cool1986

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: This unit has a compact footprint and is attractive in appearance no matter where you install it. It has a resettable circuit breaker that I have not see on other brands. Excellent build quality.

Weaknesses: None, except the User's Manual could be somewhat better written and in a "booklet" format instead of a double-sided 17" x 11" sheet.

Overall Evaluation: The BR800 is a terrific value in Uninterruptable Power Supplies. There are (7) outlets (compared to (6) for most other brands in this class) and they are widely spaced allowing for use of plug-in "wall-wart" transformers. The "boost and trim" AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) does not draw from the battery during low voltage brownouts. It even has data line and phone/modem/fax line surge protection. This is a quality unit. What more could you ask for? I will not hesitate to buy more of these as the need arises.
