Apc Audio Video Power Saving Surge Protector

The APC P8VNTG Power Saving Surge Protector is a great product, potentially impacted by inferior quality. The product itself is attractive, well, as attractive as a power strip can really be. The black design melds into most home theater decors. I personally like the blue LED lighting, but they are VERY bright. So if you don't have the power strip hidden behind something, the light may be distracting.

This is a nicely made surge protector, relatively compact with a few widely-spaced outlets for power bricks. I tucked this under my sit-stand desk to keep the power cables out of the way. The power-saving outlets that shut off when the main computer goes to sleep are nice but problematic for a Mac with external drives. If an external drive is powered off while the Mac sleeps, the Mac jolts awake and cycles awake-sleep constantly. Luckily those power-saving outlets can be flipped to manual mode.

It's hard to review a surge protector without having it go through a surge in a thunderstorm or power outage. However, this APC protector had more joules than a very expensive one that I purchased for my entertainment system 7 years ago and doesn't buzz like the Monster surge protector did, which is why I replaced it. Seems like a goodpurchase. Pleanty of room for many plugs.

Purchased my 2nd APC Surge protector and they work good

This transient voltage surge protector is a well made device I need for the best performance of my audio and video devices. Since I've plugged in my Tripp-lite, my television and dvd have been consistently performing the best.

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.

APC Power Saving Back-UPS Pro 1500 is a great power backup. Had no problems what so ever. I really like the way it shuts of everything (if plugged into the right place) when you just shut off your computer and the all you have to do is turn your computer back on and everything comes back on also. Nice idea! I have two Backups and they both work excellent.

I bought the APC Power-Saving Back-UPS Pro 700 to use on my home network including my computers, security system, video cameras and phone system in case of a power outage. I perform monthly tests to see how long my network will stay active by removing power. The 700 meets and exceeds my requirements of supplying power for my network with over 30 minutes of battery backup power.

My APC 1500 surge protector with battery backup went defective. Self check test showed battery failure. Rather than replacing the entire expensive backup, I merely ordered this #124 replacement battery and replaced the original one for allot less cost. It now works good as new. Simply, side the old battery out and slide in the new one and that's it. I did not know replacement APC batteries were available until re-reading the APC instructions and by APC web site research.

We started out by buying a APC surge protector for our computer. It worked great so we purchased another for our entertainment center with a lot of expensive equipment plugged into it. We had electrical storms & never lost any equipment. Support for help is excellent. We will always use APC surge protectors.
