Product reviews for BR700G Back-UPS Pro 700 Battery Backup System, 6 Outlets, 700 VA, 355 J

at the beginning this product was not moving at all, im a reseller but once i discovered and watch all the different attribute of the UPS, i just can say it is great, APC is emerging to br1000g, br1300g and br1500g, the LCD shows you in real time watts ussage, remaining time, etc.

This is my third backup power supply purchase from APC, with another one soon to be added. I won't trust my electrical equipment (computer, stereo, tv, frig, etc.) to anything else. That should say it all.

I just installed the BR700G as a replacement for an SU620NET. The BR700G seems like a nice unit - I'll know better over the next year - but I was disappointed to find that it is not supported by PowerChute Business Edition software. I installed Personal Edition on the user PC, but I have lost visibility of that system's UPs status.

I'm running a Mac Pro (desktop) which I recently upgraded with a new ATI graphics card which draws more current than the original; an unexpected consequence was getting an overload warning on my 500 VA UPS when the new card fan kicks in, so I replaced the 500 VA unit with this 700VA unit, which works like a charm. My only suggestion for improvement would be clearer user instructions - you can figure them out after several reads (you're probably going to want to dim the display screen for example), but larger print and clearer text would be helpful. Otherwise no complaints

I use the product to protect my PC's from external electrical damage. Found the product to be reliable. It has allow me to power down my PC's in a reasonable time-frame after lost of electricity.

Installation went well and took about 1 minute to complete (after download) on my 1 1/2 year old Win 7 machine . Previous version did not record power outages of only a few seconds. Hopefully this has been corrected in this version, but no big deal if it hasn't. I have used APC UPS's for 15 years and would recommend them as a high quality, cut above the rest, UPS solution.

Only had it for about a month but works great so far.

Found these UPSs to be very dissapointing.

Not enough battery-side outlets for my client's accessories and the power management, enabled by default, may shut done your system without warning. Should be disabled by default.

Front Panel is pretty but pointless unless your going to monitor your system from the front panel instead of via
Powerchute.

Currently reviewing UPSs from other manufacturers such as Eaton.

Not impressed with the lack of legendary reliablity after having to replace over 100 LS500/LS700s due to connecting/disconnecting error which inevitably will cause your UPS to be useless

Bought this Back UPS Pro 700 about six months ago and it has worked flawlessly. I've made the mistake of buying other brands before but every time I do, I get burned. During an ice storm a few years ago I had to rush across town and buy 10 units. The store only had 5 APCs left so I got all 5 plus 5 other mixed brands. All 5 of the APC's are still working to this day, all 5 of the others DIED within about 6 months with different problems. Worse than losing the battery backup was it crashing my equipment every time it failed. If you are considering another company, better read reviews.. you'll see APC is really the only good name.

This review is for a BR700G APC Power-Saving Back-UPS Pro 700.
I've used APC for years at home and at work. This device continues the solid performance to which I'm familiar. It replaces a 500kVa unit with an expired battery. I logged onto the APC website to order just the battery, and couldn't pass up the trade up deal on this 700 kVa unit. While I've connected the cable to shutdown my server, I won't test this until the next area power outage (at least twice a year). No noise, no heat, just quiet, standby power.
