  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Lightest UPS with 450 Watts power. Easy to hook up. Using it for my new 32-inch LCD TV. Has four widely-spaced outlets, very convenient. Also includes protection for phone, fax and modem.

  Weaknesses:Not found any yet.

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this UPS because of its great price and its APC brand. This is the best UPS I ever have in terms of price/performance. Its power is also enough for my 42-inch plasma TV which needs ~400-Watt input.

  Strengths: Can save electricity; auto-shutdown feature

  Weaknesses:Big footprint - can't stack on side

  Overall Evaluation: We have multiple computers in our house, and most of them go into standby when not in use. While this does save electricity versus leaving them on all the time, it's still not zero. I have UPS's on all the computers to prevent any issues with surges on our power, which happens alot in southern California. This particular UPS advertises itself as being "green", in that it saves electricity. It does this in two ways, and it's not particulary clear how on the product package. They advertise as saving a bunch of money, but this is truly YMMV, as it depends upon your configuration. The one feature is that the unit has been designed from the ground up to be more energy efficient. They don't say how much savings this alone is versus their previous 750VA model, but I'd say it's probably minor. The big potential savings comes from having a computer plugged into the master outlet, and other devices plugged into the slave outlets. When your computer is turned off or goes into standby, the USB connection from the computer to the UPS tells it that it can now turn off the slave outlets. Most computer peripherals go into a standby mode when not in use, but they still consume power. Being on a slave outlet now means that they are truly turned off. I have my speakers, monitor, usb hub and external hard-drive plugged into these slaves outlets. When I turn the computer back on, the slave outlets now power-up, and my monitor turns back on. It works very nice! You just have to be careful as to what you plug into the slave outlets, as you may *not* want them to power-down! For instance, I have a networked printer, an ethernet switch, wireless router and cell-phone charger that I don't want to be turned off. For these, I plug them into the normal battery-backup outlets. Note that you cannot master-control any of the battery-backup ports, just the surge protected outlets.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Saves electricity. 5 Battery Backup outlets & 5 surge protected outlets.

  Weaknesses:Can not think of any.

  Overall Evaluation: APC's "Green" UPC operates on less electricity than comparable units. The master outlet turns of 3 surge protected outlets so printers. monitors are not on standby extending their life. Comes with auto shutdown software and a USB cable to shutdown when user is not home. Same price as conventional unit.

  Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

  Strengths: Turns off outlets that are not in use. Good amount of back up power.

  Weaknesses:Big.

  Overall Evaluation: The unique thing about this UPS is that it has controlled outlets that are controlled by one master outlet. What happens is, you plug your computer into the master outlet. The slave outlets are only powered when something draws power from the master outlet. This means that only when your computer is on, the other outlets work. It's a great feature because your monitor turns off automatically, since you don't need it on when the computer is off. Also, good for printers or speakers that are not in use when the computer is off. There are extra outlets that are not controlled by the master outlet, so you don't have to worry if you need things getting power even when the computer is off. This is the top of the line consumer model so it has a lot of power, plenty of time to back up your data during a power outage.
